“ This restaurant is a place where we always come back to when we visit Oaxaca City. The food and service has been consistently great every time we visit. The mole is excellent, they sell it by the bucket and fortunately in smaller jars too. We always pick up a few jars of mole so we can enjoy a bit of Oaxaca at home. ”
“ Excellent place to have a hot chocolate or mole in Oaxaca. We had a margarita with tequila which was nice. Also, a dish called molcajete which has cheese, tasajo (beef fillet), chorizo, nopal (cactus), and spicy sauce served with handmade tortillas. ”
“ The service was honestly wonderful, never had so many people ask me if everything's okay. I may not be the best person to judge the food as I got the oaxaqueno omelette with chapulines and I've never had any insects before so had to get over that. But the presentation was superb and the hot chocolate and pan were delicious. ”
