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.

Eating here is a spiritual experience that will change your life. This is THE BEST restaurant in Oaxaca in terms of service, taste, presentation, and VALUE. I have gone to other highly rated and acclaimed restaurants in the city, and let me tell you I WISH I saved my money and came here for every meal instead. It is insane how you can get such an amazing, filling, and creative meal at such a great price. Personal highlights were the pasta negra de mariscos and the pastel 3 leches. Please, if you're in Oaxaca you need to come here! If you're not in Oaxaca, you need to visit just to come to this restaurant. You will have the experience of a lifetime. (Do not listen to the hater who gave this place 3 stars, they don't deserve this!)

If you're visiting Oaxaca you will most likely visit this market and the adjacent Mercado 20 de Noviembre. It's a glimpse into the daily lives of many local people and the things they eat, drink, and buy.
