No mole negro-one of my favorite things about Oaxaca, but all you can eat Oaxacan style food for 60 Pesos, about $3.50 USD, just about half of what I paid for a more extensive buffet on the Zocalo. The first time I was there both the staff and customers were having a great time watching Shrek. Fun! If you want to enjoy Oaxacan food away from the tourist scene, this is it.

They start you off with a basked of free rolls, some with cheese inside. We ordered the tomatosalad and the beet salad and shared the suckling pig. That was plenty of food for two people. The suckling pig was truly the star! It was absolutely delicious! There is even a guitar player in the front for some nice ambient music. My favorite dinner in oaxaca!!

I don't know why on god's green earth I thought it would be a decent idea to go to a Chinese buffet…read morein Oaxaca Mexico so I'll take full ownership of the bad decision making. It had good reviews though so I was hoping that I would be pleasantly surprised! On the plus side - the buffet is $150 pesos; very reasonable with a drink included. Food is horrible to my palate. Maybe better to Mexicans' expectations of Chinese food but I hated what I tried. I did like the beef and broccoli as well as the orange chicken(??) and egg rolls. Would not recommend.

I stopped in a little past 2 PM on Sunday, August 3rd and decided to go with the buffet. I was…read moregreeted immediately upon entering, and I was given my choice of tables. I picked my table in the larger of two seating areas. The place was pretty busy and there was a little boy, whom I assume was family to someone working there. He was scurrying around the entrance and was quite loud, but not a big deal for me. The restaurant was rather plainly furnished with sparse decorations. I asked for the one free water that came with the buffet. The water actually tasted like lemonade, which I liked, but it wasn't just water. The buffet wasn't huge, but afforded many choices. I tried a little bit of almost everything available. I made two trips to the buffet, and certainly got my money's worth. My two opinions on the food were that many dishes were too salty, and nothing tasted fresh. None of the many items I tried wowed me. It was all just okay. I definitely take into account that I was eating from a buffet, along with the timing of my visit may have impacted the quality of many dishes. The trade off was the price, which was 175 pesos. The exchange rate on that day equated to $9.28 USD, which is a great value. I will likely return because of the price and hope for some fresher flavors.

I really wanted some meat (specifically steak). So, I decided that a Brazilian steakhouse was the…read morebest option. It's a nice place. I've been to four other Brazilian steakhouses (all in the US) and I couldn't help comparing this to them. It has a nice, formal atmosphere. We went there for lunch around 1pm and there were only two other tables. Everyone was dressed in rather casual clothes. However, that might change at night. The salad buffet had a good selection, but it was a little small. They had a few different types of lettuce salad, noodle salad, etc. Also, they had rice, mashed potatoes, potato wedges, watermelon, and more. I really enjoyed the mashed potatoes and Cesar salad. The mashed potatoes tasted like they were made with chicken stock or something. I'm not sure. After we finished the salad bar, the meats stated coming out. Most of the beef was too tough and well done for me so I asked them if we could get it medium and they complied (for the most part). My favorite is the pichana. I always love the flavor and salt on pichana at Brazilian restaurants and it was very good here. Also, la piña con canela (pineapple with cinnamon) was amazing! The best! I loved it. I ate too much of it. Did I mention the pineapple? I was a little disappointed that they didn't have the traditional cheese bread (which I'm addicted to) or the bananas. However, they had garlic toast with cheese and the special pineapple as substitutes. My only complaint is that it took forever to get the check once we had finished. We asked for it and then waited around 15 minutes at an empty table. It's really expensive for Oaxaca (269 pesos per person for lunch), but it's cheap compared to Brazilian steakhouses in the US. We pay $50 usd per person for lunch in the US, so this seemed like a good deal.
