It's an absolutely delightful environment with cactus gardens, and breezy outdoor seating among the bougainvillea and various desert plants under ceiling fans and open air. The food is typical Regional Mexican, in this case, Oaxacan, with an emphasis on mole, beef, salads, Aztec soup, empanadas, Oaxacan mushrooms, etc. there are even edible insects on the menu for appetizers. You'll love this place.

Service and food was delicious and freshly prepared (which took a little longer than normal). We enjoyed being indoors and out of the sun after hiking all day. Our server was very nice.

The best dining experience on my most recent visit to Oaxaca, this restaurant far exceeded…read moreexpectations. Our party of 4 had tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, tostadas, costilla and molotes. The restaurant is small, with maybe 5 tables but is exceptionally clean and well maintained. Appears to be a family run business. Everything was prepared to order with the freshest of ingredients. The molotes were the best I have ever tasted, the corn meal contained finely diced potato spiced to perfection with a meat sauce. The quesadillas were on the same level as were the short ribs. If you like sweet moles, the enchiladas are served in a Coloradito sauce which my friends enjoyed. We didn't need a reservation (we were the only diners) and the service was superb (son of the owners?) They serve softdrinks, beer and mezcal, sell a local brand of mezcal and have a tasting room in a nicely finished basement. Bathrooms exceptionally clean. If I lived anywhere near here I would be a regular. Don't miss this gem

We began…read morewith a delightful welcome from the kitchen: espadín mezcal, refried beans, guacamole, orange slices, and chili-seasoned pumpkin seeds -- all on the house. For starters, we ordered two traditional soups: sopa de flor de calabaza (squash blossom soup) and sopa de nopal (cactus soup) -- both earthy, comforting, and authentically Oaxacan. We then tried three moles: mole negro (my personal favorite), segueza, a pre-Hispanic corn-based mole, and the special of the day, mole zapoteco. We finished with three desserts: tejocotes en dulce (sweetened Mexican hawthorn fruit, which I found a bit bland), flan Tlamanalli, and nieve de níspero (loquat sorbet -- delicious, and another personal favorite). To end the meal, they surprised us with chocolate de metate on the house. The service was warm and attentive, with multiple thoughtful extras -- a welcome touch you don't often find. There is clear attention to detail throughout, from the beautiful plates to the presentation of each dish. It truly feels like a home-cooked meal -- because it is. This is not a restaurant mass-producing dishes. It is run by Abigail Mendoza and her family, and each dish is cooked only after you place your order, which adds to the sense of care and intention behind every plate. If you're looking for an unforgettable culinary experience, immerse yourself in traditional Zapotec cuisine at Tlamanalli.
