Don't know what to order at this little Oaxacan restaurant on Santa Monica with soccer always on the flat screens? Just get the mixed grill, the one that has everything listed. And if that's not enough, also get a kicky rajas tamale. Occupy yourself with the tortilla chips with cojita cheese and mole for dipping while your waiting for your feast.
The Botana Oaxaquena has string cheese, grilled green onions and jalapeno peppers, and various meats (Delicacheena shorthand--sausage, strips, jerkey). We thought we were ordering what we got last time, what we lovingly refer to as "the boat." The boat was served on a platter, not on a grill and also included a pupasa type dish of corn masa, cheese and beans.
The mixed grill came with corn tortillas and rice and smokey black beans with more cojita cheese. Slap everything into a tortilla garnished with cilantro and avocado and you can't go wrong. (Although UE would advise against the too-much-cinnamon horchata.)
