We came for a quick dinner as this was nearby the Airbnb we stayed at in Roma Norte and enjoyed the Oaxacan dishes we ordered. It's located in a food hall with a few other restaurants but Cosecha Oaxaca had the most people by far dining in.
We started with guac topped with fried grasshopper which I was excited to have my friend try. The grasshoppers were nicely fried and pretty meaty seasoned with lime and salt. By themselves they were a bit salty but good with the guac to balance it out. The chips were nicely fried and homemade as well.
For entrees we shared the chicken mole and tlayuda with tasajo which reminded me of flank steak. The chicken mole was yummy with a hint of spice and came with rice and torillas. The tlayuda was good as well similar to a quesadilla with a thinner, crispier toasted tortilla filled with cheese and beans. The steak itself was a little dry along with the tlayuda itself but overall a good meal to eat some traditional Oaxacan food. read more
