El Huaje brings the flavors of Oaxaca to Mexico City through a menu centered on traditional Mexican comfort food, hearty breakfasts, tlayudas, moles, antojitos, soups, salads, desserts, and regional drinks. Popular choices include Memelitas, Tlayuda con Tasajo, Huajetlayuda de Tres Carnes, Enchiladas de Mole, and Mole con Pollo, with prices generally offering solid value for generous, filling portions. Corn tortillas, beans scented with avocado leaf, Oaxaca cheese, tasajo, chorizo, cecina enchilada, mole, and chapulines give the cooking a distinctly Oaxacan character.
Breakfast choices range from hot cakes and chilaquiles to Oaxacan and vegetarian omelets, while substantial tlayudas and meat dishes suit lunch, early dinner, or relaxed group meals. Vegetarian diners can find options such as the omelet with mushrooms, nopales, and quesillo, alongside salads and simple sides. Gluten-free diners should confirm preparation and cross-contact directly with the restaurant. Mild dishes, soups, hot cakes, and familiar egg preparations can also work well for children. With many dishes around MX$110-250, the menu balances regional ingredients, substantial servings, and approachable pricing.
