Selva is a gorgeous little cocktail bar, cozy, stylish, and full of character. The bartenders…read morereally know their craft; they took time to explain each drink and even the garnish pairings, which made the whole experience feel elevated. I made the mistake of showing up on an empty stomach, and that's on me, but that's definitely not the move here. The food is designed as small bites to complement the cocktails, not full meals, but everything I tried paired beautifully. The tuna tostadas were a standout; super flavorful and perfectly balanced with my drink. This is the spot I'd come back to for a nightcap or date, beautiful ambiance, great music, and a refined but welcoming vibe.

My friend quickly said okay not understanding what had just happened until it hit her that she had shushed her. We had reservations and were ready to drop a lot of money for drinks but we asked a server who that lady was and he explained that it was the owner so we got up and left! Many of us were Mexican, others American but we were not about to be support such a place and be treated like that. Super super rude! The servers were nice and respectful though. So- again- don't come here. We weren't even loud but apparently the owner wants a library type of place- lame.

We will definitely return on this trip!

I know it sounds like hyperbole, but it was fabulous, as was the ambiance. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants an informal dinner of the best quality. Try the Ensalada Costumbre and any of the pizzas. I'm not into mezcal, and I had one of the best tequila margaritas I've had in Oaxaca. Don't miss it for a fine informal meal!

It was nice to have greens as Mexican food doesn't have much of them. The restaurant architecture is beautiful, with Ibiza vibes and they have performers performing live music some nights of the week. Overall I recommend Mystras to anyone who wants to have some light, healthy food!
