what to order at Monte Alban?

I am thinking of FINALLY checking this place out tonight. Can I get some guidance please? I am not all that familiar with Oaxacan food.

thanks.

      I love the barbacoa de chiva, and order it almost every time I go there. But I have never had anything there I didn't like -- it's a terrific place.

        "Tacos enchiladas" with chicken or cheese and red or black mole.
        Queso fundido.
        Sopa Azteca.
        Enfrijoladas.
        Taquitos.

        And remember, almost everything there tastes even better with a side of sliced avocado.

          Their Birria is good, and I also like their Clayudas.

            See: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/559518

            If there's more comprehensive review of this place (or better primer on L.A.'s Oaxacan food), I haven't seen it. Short answer - chicken in black mole ("mole negro") is the start of the show here. Service can be slow though - they seem constantly understaffed, but always worth the wait.
