Quite possibly the best restaurant near Coyoacán Park. Beautiful terrace view over the plaza with all the lively performers, top-notch service. The Caldo de Frijol was incredible -- gorgeous tableside presentation where they pour the broth over the beans and beef. The Betabel crujiente (crispy beet salad) might be the best beets I've ever eaten. Both went straight into my favorite dishes of the trip. The Filete Res Chichilo was excellent. Tarta de Manzana a perfect close. Tlayuda Setas was unique and very good but didn't quite live up to the rest. Tacos Minilla were the weakest. Would absolutely recommend.

We had a damn good meal here... in a private room... and it wasn't crazy expensive. Our group of six or seven did a walk-in for a lunch and they seated us upstairs in a private room that overlooked the Coyoacan plazita. We started with fresh margs and mezcal flights. I honestly can't remember what we ordered, but i do remember the standout dish was the "Hoja Santa" (which is photographed all over their website, so it's a house favorite) and the roasted beets. We also had chicken tortilla soup and others ate the pulpo. :( I'd easily go back in heartbeat next time in Coyoacan.

The ambiance of this place is great. We sat at a table upstairs that was right infront of a window. The servers were also phenomenal. Interestingly, the liked our appetizers more than the duck mole dish. The appetizers we got were tortilla soup and the bone marrow tortas. We would come back and try some additional dishes,

Amazing restaurant with high quality local cuisine near the Frida Kahlo museum. Service was slow but the ambiance and decor was beautiful.

I have mixed feelings about this last visit to Los Danzantes. First of all, the service remains excellent. Our waiter that we had this time ought to teach classes on how to be a professional waiter. He was very accommodating and made sure that we enjoyed our meal. The worst part was that the restaurant has changed the menu, they have steered away from their specialties that focused a distinct affinity with traditional Nahuatl cuisine. This time the menu was short and closer to higher-end American-style restaurants. It had a choice of ribeye, and yes other specialties were Mexican food, but not like the menu from the previous year. The Huitlacoche fondue had gone through a major change that the delightful fondue we had back in October 2023. This time less cheese and the flavor was compromised. I am aware of another location in Oaxaca, and after browsing that menu it almost makes me wonder if this location was purchased by a new owner. I will have to go to that location if I intend to try something exceptional. The dessert that we purchased to take to our hotel was horrible. We bought an apple tart that tasted weird. The cinnamon-seasoned apples tasted like they had some weird unhealthy aftertaste.

Fondue! Yum

Really beautiful higher end restaurant right in the park. They specialize in Mezcal drinks, the mezcal mojito and margaritas were both very good (particularly recommend the mojito). We came for pre-dinner drinks, and they required the purchase of appetizers to sit which was totally fine. We ordered the empanadas and the fondue which were delicious and pretty filling.

Unfortunately, a huge disappointment for the second time. The food is overpriced and very mediocre. For a restaurant of this level, you'd expect better quality and at least a small gesture for a birthday -- but nothing. The tomahawk was nearly impossible to chew and definitely not worth the price. Won't be coming back.

Empanadas

Great for romantic and expensive bites. Quality: 5 Value: 3 Service: 5 Ambiance: 3 We had an hour to kill and came in for a drink and an appetizer each. We sat on their lovely patio which was only lit by candles, which was romantic but to be honest...it was so dark we could barely see our food! So, some tradeoffs. We had the huitlacoche (special fungus/mushroom fermented corn) on bread, and the empanadas. The serving size of each was quite large! Both were also very delicious. That said, it's definitely very expensive, and the entrees were expensive for us as Americans (let alone locals). The drinks were delightful and they had a huge range of tequila, mezcals, and other options.

Pato was incredibly good
Cecilia P.

Excellent service. Angel was a gem. His recommendations were on point. He listened and truly took care of us. Food is amazing and ambiance is calm, cool and fabulously inviting. I highly recommend Los Danzantes to anyone who wants delicious food and a great environment.

Last meal

The Best! Go here, not just once while in Coayacan, but everyday, if you can! It's just that good! Our last meal before we headed to Huatulco, so let's do it right. It started with our server, Brian, who was incredible. He recognized our time limitations and took care of our meal efficiently yet without feeling rushed. One of our friends wasn't feeling well, so our server went out of his way to get home some toasted bread, which was not on the menu. Between us we enjoyed a roasted beet, rolled in crushed almonds and served with a delicious sauce. This felt like you were slicing into a steak, it was so perfectly prepared and filling. We had a salad with grilled chicken and roasted seasonal vegetables, I'm still dreaming of this! Exceptional! Lastly mu husband enjoyed a taco of gusanos and a sope with corn and ants, I passed on that and I'm sure he was happy that I did, since he had this plate all to himself! The restaurant is beautiful; located in the town center and the offerings will appeal to all palates!

Food amazing! Great veg options. Beautiful plating. Wide array of flavors and textures. Really a gem. And the square was so vibrant and fun to wander afterwards.

Disappointing. This place has everything but good food. It is supposed to be a higher nicer restaurant and it hit the mark in regard to ambience, location, vibe, drinks, and service( exceptional). Unfortunately, we were so disappointed by the food. We started off with Tortilla Soup to share and the complimentary bread. The soup was presented beautifully and poured into the bowl, table side for a nice touch. It was so over-salted that it overwhelmed the other flavors. The broth was too thick (in my opinion, like a stew) and barely warm. We both tried it and left it. Second course was the Tostada Danzante. This was a crunchy traditional tortilla served almost like a thin flat bread with several local cheeses, crispy grasshoppers and a couple bite size tomatoes. Again, beautiful presentation but flavor was extremely salty!! The cheeses were already salty, add the grasshoppers which are usually little salt bombs, and then seasoned lard, too much! We tried adding the tomato to our bites to cut the salt but it still overwhelmed every flavor. My friend ordered the pork shank tacos hoping for a basic dish, elevated to another level but it didn't even qualify at that. After 3 failed dishes I refused to order a main and opted to close out our tab. The waiter noticed our dishes were almost intact and questioned our like/ dislikes of the dishes. I ended up with the manager at our table as I honestly shared my thoughts about the food. He ended up bringing us a few more bites to try which were better than the ones we ordered but not a place I would return to or recommend solely based on the food. I want to point out that the manager and waiter went out of their way to make sure we had a better food experience ( bringing several other samples of dishes to try) and I appreciated that, it just wasn't worthy of a recommendation.

It was kind of empty and chill, but the ambiance was festive and exciting due to the music and activities going on in el parque nearby. I was so hungry I wanted to eat everything, so I got the tacos con chapulines (HELLA FIRE) and a side plate of arroz con platanos. I also ordered a beer, but that never came out. Their salsas are hella good. Especially that insane truffle one, who knew! It was SO good. The pan fried platanos were so delicious and the perfect little craving I needed for a sweet treat afterwards. They accept cash and card, and make sure you tip you extranjero/turista!

Big plus - they have English menu and the portions are extremely big and probably enough for two people to share. Each meal comes with the soup, rice or pasta, and the main course.

I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who is visiting. To be honest, I have not had the cold drinks, so I cannot comment on those only because I had bad experience in the past in Mexico in general NOT at this place specific. Just be careful, do not drink anything for which you cannot confirm the source of the water including vegetables like lettuce and tomatoes because they might of been washed with the regular tap water. Due to the lack of Spanish, I was unable to confirm what water they use for those purposes and therefore I can't comment on quality of those drinks and their salads. Overall, I will come back again and again. This place is simply amazing.

I ordered the Huevos Mexicanos, which translates to "Mexican eggs." It's basically scrambled eggs mixed with salsa, served with a side of black beans and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. Although very simple, the flavor was very delicious (I think they use some meat juices for cooking or something). I also ordered a cup of black coffee. If you are a coffee drinker, do yourself a favor and get it every time in Mexico. I normally don't drink coffee black, but I guess that's because I've been drinking the wrong coffee. :P The coffee was very smooth and smelled strongly of cinnamon. Delicious!
