One bite of this tlayuda and I stopped talking 🫓🔥

🎥 invited by @comiendoenla

@ponchostlayudas moved into @maydanmarket in West Adams and now goes by @lugyah_la. Every tlayuda goes over mesquite fire until it blisters and turns crisp, then gets loaded up at the counter. Big enough to share. I didn’t.

What we ordered:
🫓 Tlayuda, 2 meats: tasajo + moronga
🌶️ Memela with chorizo
🌯 Breakfast Burrito with seasonal greens
🍳 Breakfast plate: eggs, greens, black beans, fresh tortilla
☕ Café de Olla

Tasajo or moronga, which are you picking?

Traditional dancing is also a source of resilience for us, a moment of joy: Bén biliaab (from Santo Domingo Albarradas) and bén gashon (from Zoogocho). It goes hand in hand with our food; when we dance, we eat certain foods as part of the celebration. That is why, when we share the food our ancestors passed down with you, @lugyah_la, it comes from our hearts and is full of love ❤️ long live indigenous peoples. #ponchostlayudas #indigenouspeople #indigenouspeoplesday

Gratitude to all the indigenous ancestors who made it possible for us to be here, and to all the land and water protectors who are currently on the front lines of resistance. Thank you for your continued protection of the corn; because of you all, we at Lugyah can share sacred heirloom corn with you. Long live the indigenous people. #ponchostlayudas #indigenouspeople #ponchostlayudas #indigenouspeoplesday #indigenousfood

I recently visited Lugya’h inside Maydan Market to sit down with Chef Poncho and hear the story behind the food, his Oaxacan roots, and even the meaning behind the restaurant’s name.

@lugyah_la is the evolution of @ponchostlayudas , and the name comes from Zapotec, referring to the “face and heart of the plaza” — inspired by the communal markets of Oaxaca’s highlands.
And you can feel that idea in the food:
The fire. The comal. The handmade tortillas. The flavors that connect Oaxaca to Los Angeles.

And then there was the food. 😍
🔥 Tlayudas 🫓 Memelas 🍳 Comal-cooked eggs 🥣 Traditional atole

Everything felt like the kind of food you’re supposed to share around a table — which is exactly why I love stories like this.

This is another chapter of The Stories We Eat, where I’m going beyond the plate to meet the people and stories behind Latino food in Southern California. Happy #hispanicheritagemonth

If you have a friend who would absolutely destroy a tlayuda with you, SEND THIS TO THEM. 😂🇲🇽
