Our last meal in Oaxaca was breakfast at Casa Taviche before heading the airport to return to home. And I'm glad we saved it for our last day - because it was that good. The food was great. My husband had the trilogía de memelas, and I had the puré de la milpa con huevos. His memelas were very good (so simple but incredibly delicious - each included a cheese and a different salsa), but I absolutely loved my plate. The puree was smooth and delicious; the eggs were perfectly scrambled; and those roasted mushrooms and tomatoes? Delicious! I also had the atole of the day (an atole de leche), which was so satisfying! The service was great, and the restaurant is beautiful - modern, but charming, with great light. A delicious breakfast! I'd return for a meal here - any meal, any time!
After a full day of eating on a walking Oaxacking tour in Oaxaca last Saturday, 4 of us walked to this local restaurant not far from our hotel and somehow ate even more! They had great vegetarian options for our veggie friends. The luna de sangre mezcal drink was yummy and also felt healthy at the same time! We tried several things on the menu from soups, salads, mushrooms to beef flank. I'd love to go back again and try more things when I have a more space in my tummy to try more things.
Amazing food! We had the best meals of our stay in Oaxaca at this colourful restaurant. We liked it so much, that we came back for dinner the next evening. The menu changes every day and the food is delicious, and it's cooked and presented beautifully. We tried beef, chicken and pork and it was lovely. Be sure to leave room for the dessert! The juices are lovely too! The prices are super reasonable, and the service is friendly.
Loved Casa Taviche! Off the normal path for some tourists but worth it because of the quality of food, innovation of the dishes, new items all the time, and affordability. We stopped in the have some drinks and a chicken stuffed pepper. The chicken was stewed so it was super flavorful. Also Don't miss their lunch tasting special, at only 140 pesos it's a bargain.
Life is still worth living because of Casa Taviche and Mezcal! In Oaxaca for the second time and it seemed that every restaurant we called for dinner reservations was booked for about a week. Since we were tired from the treasure hunt of the day we decided to pick from the closest restaurants to our hotel. Casa Teviche was the most visually appealing and intriguing. I called for the possibility of reservations and they said we didn't need one and just to come on down! The short taxi drive left us in front of a side entrance that lead to a small but impressive bar. The place was overall pretty empty having to people by the bar, a single gal and a rowdy party of 5 at the corner table. All I kept thinking was that we had chosen unwisely. The decor is simple, refined but not over the top fancy or pretentious. The music was playing at a very tolerable volume and was greatly appreciated. Our enthusiastic waiter dropped by our table to immediately take our drink order and we had to try the seasonal organic fruit drinks and some mineral agua. I could tell from the quick menu glance that it would be extremely difficult to decide what to order for the main entree. So we put the entree on the back burner and decided to start with the mixed green salad. It was refreshing, beautifully presented and packed with Oaxacan flare. Next came one of the hardest decisions I've had to make in awhile: the Ahi Tuna with Chia seeds, the stuffed eggplant, or the Porchetta. I changed my mind several times before settling on the Porchetta. The Porchetta arrived like a shiny new car honking the horn making me focus all of my attention on the new kid on the table! This Porchetta was served on a bed of mashed potatoes and accompanied with a guava mole, sprinkled with some beautiful veggies and greens. The playfulness of the savory pork worked its magic as it was covered by the guava mole. An exciting celebration was taking place as bite after bite left me speechless! My wife and our friend ordered the fish of the day that turned out to be Mahi Mahi oh my! The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned and left us all saying: OH MY!!! We had to try one of the desserts to see if we could complete the trifecta of great dinners, so we ordered the Guanabana Mousse tart with a side of frozen lime gelato. This desert was what a Mexican Willy Wonka would have served at his restaurant, playful, popping with flavor and pushing us into the happy finish line. I stopped our great waiter Armando and asked a quite obvious question: Why isn't there a line outside this restaurant waiting to experience this magic? He graciously mentioned that it was the wrong time of the year/season and that there have been occasions where the restaurant was full. I told him that based on the experience we had there was no need to go anywhere else. So I cancelled our reservation at Los Danzantes and Criollo. So Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this guy will be the first in line at Casa Teviche because this Casa is definitely my Casa and I hope it becomes your casa as well!
Casa Taviche is a hidden gem! It has michelin quality food for a very reasonable price (150-200 pesos per dish). We had the aguachile as an appetizer. It was fresh, spicy, and delicious. We also ate the fish of the day--it was cooked perfectly and surrounded by a tasty, bright sauce with chickpeas mixed in for additional texture. The banana bread dessert was outstanding--the moist bread had a vanilla cream frosting with a fresh sliced strawberry on top, and the scoop of passion fruit gelato that accompanied it was refreshing. The servers were very professional and warm. The decor was very stylish--pastel colored tables and lush plants hanging overhead. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. We plan on returning multiple times during our stay in Oaxaca this week to eat our way through the rest of the menu You won't regret it!

Mmm pretty sure this was my favorite meal in Oaxaca. I ordered the tlayuda de tasajo plus a refreshing cocktail. The restaurant had an open air roof in one corner, live music, and friendly service. Plants abounded. Everything felt fresh and fun here. I'd highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city! read more
Really enjoyed this place. The food, though hearty and non pretentious was presented very beautifully with flower petal and you could tell it was done with care. I had the 3 course menu of the day and it included soup, entree, a flan dessert and a nice drink. The soup was cilantro soup and it was very fresh and delicious. The chicken thigh with vegetables was very good, as was the flan( although I was way too full to really enjoy it ). The drink was a version of ice tea. Yum u could get seconds if you wanted to. My husband had pork belly. The sauce was a spicy red sauce, which was very flavorful. We enjoyed the fact that they had craft beers also. Ambiance is nice especially in the bright back room, where the fans really helped to deal with the midday heat. If you want a great meal for a very reasonable price, go here. read more

3.5 stars but I'll round up to 4 because the chia crusted tuna was large and delicious, and we didn't have to wait more than a few minutes for a table for 2 on a Friday night. The avocado tomato salad was decent-- large and had a ton of avocado. The taquito appetizer was disappointing-- probably would have been better if we didn't remove the cheese due to a dairy allergy. Same with the tlayuda-- it was large but the tortilla was super dry and the meat was impossibly chewy. It desperately needed a sauce and/or salsa. I'd go back to try other dishes instead since they change up their menu. read more

We just had dinner here tonight. Very pleasant simple ambiance, nothing fancy, but seems like every detail is thought out in a "garden patio" setting. The food: Appetizers: As you sit down they bring you complimentary toasted chips and salsa. From the menu we ordered: 1. Avocado, tomato and Arugula salad. Lovely to see and better to eat ! 5/5 2. Salmon ceviche (mini) tostadas (3) Beautifully constructed, you would think you are in a fine dining restaurant. Delicious on top! 5/5 Main courses: 1. Portobello in black mole. Nice presentation, but lacking flavor. Score (3.5/5) 2) Tlayuda with Chorizo. Very good taste. One of us cleaned the plate. Score 5/5 All the dishes ranged between MXN $125 to 150. We asked for a spicier salsa, and they brought a green salsa made from Chile de Agua. We asked to see it, and they brought what looks like a small Chile Poblano (mislabeled in US as Pasilla pepper, which is the smoked, dry version). (see pic). Spicy. Service: Charming attitude and went .out of their way to accomodate. 5/5 We passed on dessert, but did try a couple of beers crafted in Oaxaca. A porter from Tumba 7. Very. smooth, good flavor An Amber from Traspatio, rich and light. (Artisinal beer about US $4.25) They also carry Mexican,commercial beer: Corona and Victoria (Amber) for US $2.00 We will certainly be back, and urge you to try them. read more

Waiter was well info, with great prompt service. The flavours captured Oaxaca in French style cooking. The Halloween pumpkin dessert was completely unique with clean and complex flavours. Can't wait to go back and try all the items on the menu. Probably the best restaurant in the city. Can't forget the the prices were unreal cheap. read more

Come here!!! Still underrated relative to the big popular expensive restaurants in Oaxaca. I had a pumpkin taco with mole as an app, and the tlayuda with side of tasajo as the main. I liked how veggie forward and how beautifully plated they were. The ambiance is lovely and seems like a good place to sit for a while. Drinks also looked great. read more
I decided to try this place because of all the great reviews. I'm so glad I did because the food was phenomenal and very cheap for what you get. Most of the food here is a healthier options with great presentation. There are some of the classic items you see around town. The menu is very small but plenty of options. Their beer and Mezcal are very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend coming to this place for a great meal. Staff was very friendly and helpful. If the Ceviche on tostada is on the menu get it. It was so good I got two of them. read more
Great food. We split the bill 1/2 lb Cochinita Pibil as a group and we all loved the tacos. The spices to put on top were spicy but too hot hot for us so we just did it with the pickled onions ,pico and lime. Fantastic service in a lovely setting. read more

I came by with 3 other people for dinner. Everything we ordered was just sooo delicious and beautiful. The restaurant has an indoor room and an outdoor atrium and both are decorated very well and accompanied by a great selection of dining music. We had excellent service and our waiter was able to answer all our questions. The menu of appetizers, entrees and desserts was handwritten so it must depend on the availability of local fresh ingredients, ideal for vegetarians and omnivores alike. The prices are very reasonable and I highly recommend this restaurant. The chef is a genius, it's a must try. read more

Very intimate home cooking flavors were in each dish. The menu is seasonal and limited but we each found something we liked. I suggest the steak tostada. read more
