Where once Tasty Tacos sold its generous namesake in Cutten, Mi Little Oaxaca Bakery & Cafe has opened its doors. Owner Jose Chavez Posos started turning out custom cakes, cupcakes, sandwiches and tortas in early December of last year after selling cakes out of his home. Chavez Posos’ says this is his first business in the U.S. but, after culinary school in Mexico, he worked with his family business selling wings, burgers and tomato-y beer micheladas.
On the menu are a handful of sandwiches from turkey pesto and pastrami to milanesa and asada tortas, as well as a Oaxaca salad with strawberries and mango. The tres leches cake, Chavez Posos says, is a big seller. But if you crave a fruity geletina, you can special order a mold to send you into deep nostalgia. “I do everything with a lot of love,” he says. “Every time I cook something for the client, I think that this dish would be for me and I try to do the best.”

I stop by Little Oaxaca at least once a week. I live in Cutten and have to drive right by it to get anywhere. My first experience there was a turkey pesto sandwich – it was so tasty I had to see what the other offerings tasted like. I’ve now tried many other things on the menu, including the sweets – that Tres Leche cake is so delicious!
I am glad Mi Little Oaxaca is in the neighborhood!
