Tlayudas Juquilita occupies a strip-mall spot on Aurora Avenue in North Seattle, sharing a lot with an IHOP and a UPS Store, and works mainly as a takeout counter with a handful of fold-up tables for dine-in. The kitchen sticks to traditional Oaxacan preparations: tlayudas cooked on the comal, pork ribs slow-cooked in salsa verde, chicken in yellow mole, and handmade tortillas.
The Tlayuda Tradicional is the house specialty — a toasted corn tortilla layered with pork asiento, beans, Oaxaca cheese, cabbage, and avocado, with a choice of adobada, chorizo, or arrachera. Other plates include tacos oaxaqueños, carne asada, and costillas de puerco en salsa verde, all served with rice, beans, and tortillas.
A review, without naming the outlet, singled out the char on the tortillas and tlayudas, the tang in the stewed meats, and the rice and beans as standouts worth building a meal around.
