Sarah ForsterlingOctober 12, 2014Quality modern Mexican meals. Good place to have mole if you haven't tried it - not too over whelming and mixed with modern flavours. Awesome decor.
Upvoted 2 weeks ago- Avin NarasimhanOctober 28, 2015First meal in Oaxaca. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing everything. Get the traditional shredded chicken w mole. And ask for Omar, he is the best.
David NoëlAugust 31, 2015Tuna tostadas, ribeye (if you usually order medium-rare, order medium instead), tinto de la casa is superb, chocoate tart with vanilla ice cream. Service is impeccable.
Catalina RodriguezJanuary 4, 2020Very nice place and excellent food! Hierba Santa, Chilorio de Pato, Lasagna, Pasta, and Octopus were delicious! Service was super! Reserve or arrive early to be added to the waitlist to get a table.
Ramona ArmitageDecember 8, 2022Beautiful restaurant and absolutely delicious food. Make sure to get the banana dumplings with mole selection. Plenty of vegetarian options also and all clearly marked on the menu.
AdventuresmizAugust 22, 2015Came here for a birthday meal and wasn't disappointed! Duck tacos to start, rib eye for mains and chocolate lava cake for dessert, plus several house cocktails. Delicious food and great service
Paulina SerranoSeptember 29, 2016Best place in Oaxaca! Try the mezcal cocktails because there are no better than in this place. Everything we ordered was delicious.
Adela MouJune 5, 2021The tlayuda and mogo mogo were great. Try to get Omar as your server because he will make your night.
- Stephanie HagemeisterFebruary 4, 2017Uniquely designed atmosphere & incredible service made a memorable date night. Food was great, especially the octopus appetizer. Loved the Piñata cocktails: strong, tasty & Damiana is an aphrodisiac;)
Todd DragooJanuary 2, 2019We only stopped for afternoon cocktails in the front bar, but all four drinks were excellent. They put a lot of time into ingredients and presentation. Great service too.
Felipe SDecember 29, 2019Tuna tartare again and again and again. Beautiful venue and great service. We were served by Gabriela and she was the sweetest. This place is a MUST GO in Oaxaca
Jupiter MoonsSeptember 10, 2017Tuna tostadas were flavor country. Chew slow to savor the flavors. Tortilla soup very nice, and well presented. Wish I could have tried everything on the menu, twice
MariOctober 16, 2023I didn’t even like mole until I came here. Try the mole sampler (appetizer). The stuffed chicken with mole is also great.
Eric LMarch 19, 2014You probably can't go wrong with any dish here. What we got: duck tacos, spinach salad, ribs, and tlayuda. 13 different mezcal cocktails; we liked mezcal with tamarind.
𝙶𝚘𝚗𝚣𝚊𝚕𝚘 𝙰𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚊𝚜November 4, 2017Another must see place in Oaxaca. By now, also a staple. Go during the day to appreciate the design
Alex PyatetskyMarch 6, 2018Best meal we’ve had. Incredible flavors, portions are good even for starters, and basically free compared to US prices for similar food.
Jose KadalaMarch 13, 2017Amazing place!! Is a no brained if you're in Oaxaca. Amazing food, service and place they took care of every detail.
Nancy HoMay 11, 2017Food was ok, service was even better and the restaurant/atmosphere was amazing. My only downfall was we tried some dishes that weren't "local", deffs try local dishes to have 10/10 experience
- JonasFebruary 13, 2017Amazing food: contemporary Mexican cuisine in a very pleasant outdoor setting with great value for money.
Steve HarrisJanuary 4, 2018Mezcal con jengibre cocktail is excellent. Hierbo Santo was delicious. Can't go wrong with any dish here@
Emilija MakauskaiteAugust 29, 2018Duck tacos, tortilia soup and coconut shrimps was really delicious!!!
Alberto MartínezMay 2, 2014Outstanding service, exceptionally detailed dishes to perfection and incredible ambiance. Definitely a must.
Chris HadfieldSeptember 22, 2017Stunning setting and great service. Food was good but not exceptional. Didn't quite live up to the billing, like a band that's slightly out of time on the night.
- Giovanna RojasJune 4, 2012Try the hoja santa it's good but the duck tacos are the best. The fish mojomojo is not that great. The medallions with grasshoppers, yum
ptDecember 9, 2022Highly recommend the mole tasting to learn and appreciate the subtle differences!!
Brian O ConnorDecember 17, 2013The duck tacos very good. Gish soap wonderful. Server very very good.
Javier LorenzoJune 26, 2016The decoration and the ambient are way better than food. Unfortunately the menu is very ambitious and dishes don't reach the expectations.
Alain W.November 6, 2022Very expensive. Drinks called "This is not a Mojito" in french, and it is really not a Mojito but rather a Sprite & whatever. Not worth the money! Never again.
