Delicious mezcal margarita and mole sampler! The outdoor seating area was cute and the staff was very friendly

Cuter than it was delicious. I think they can put a little more effort into their food. It feels a little slept together, but the vibe was really cute. I can see it being a cute place to go get drinks, assuming their drinks are better than their food. The beans were undercooked and I ordered red sauce but got green. The green sauce has that citric acid taste like it's from a bottle. And it doesn't taste like the Chilaquiles are from a fresh tortilla, but rather dry chips that have been dunked in salsa. I know it's all technically the same but the chemistry of how you prepare food really does change the taste. read more

Oaxaca - Chilaquiles Verdes and black beans - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

I live walking distance from here and since I had some friends visiting from out if town I wanted to show off my culture so I decided to finally try this new spot with them . We all got the chilaquiles I ordered mine with the Tasajo and eggs (comes with one ). I was extremely embarrassed and disappointed. I hope I'm wrong but chips out of a bag and tossed in sacuce with 3 pieces of meat and an egg. NO way Jose!!! On top of that we all got the eggs over hard I asked mine to be extra well done. And when we got out food they were all runny! My friends were hungry so they dealt with it I asked for mine to be cooked more and it did take an extra 20 minutes! So everyone ate before me The place has a lot of potential very nicely decorated. Good music and nice ambiance even though The servers looked mad or upset as soon you walked in for some reason. I hope this place take in considerstion some of the suggestions their clients leave on here. I am curious about the mole and tlayuda so I might give it a second chance. read more

Oaxaca - Chilaquiles verdes with tasajo and egg - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

The service was the worst part, the server took our order wrong and blamed me for taking the wrong order. For context it was table for two (my gf & myself) I ordered while she went to the bathroom. The order was 1 chile relleno and 1 chilaquiles add egg. When the food was brought to the table the waiter brings 2 chile relleno and 1 chilaquiles. I told her I ordered one and one and she says " you ordered 2 rellenos and I even checked if you wanted 2" which never happened. Long story short she never offered to take it off the bill she simply left it on the table and I paid for it. For all I know she just rang it in wrong and blamed me. I didn't touch the relleno I supposedly ordered but I took it to go since I paid for it. read more

Service is slow. They charge an extra tip for "kitchen staff". Seating for five is considered "large party" with 20% automatic tip (in addition to the kitchen staff tip) They charge extra for credit card payment. Food is OK, drinks are good. read more

We got seated within 10 min, that was fast, we sat outside, waited a long time for our food, when finally arrived the enmoladas were cold, we never got a refill, our server came right a way to check on the table after dropping off the plates, didn't come back to check on the table in a long time, I had to get hostess attention to get my enmoladas warmed up, and get a refill, they remake them, I had to wait a long time again so I asked that they put them in a to go box, so disappointed for our first time visit, is a shame! The food might be good but the service isn't!! You go out on a date and only one person can eat, my boyfriend couldn't even eat his food because he is waiting for me so we can eat together now his food is cold, the server came back with the food, left again and didn't leave the check for us. This is already almost 2 hours of waiting! Really bad service! read more

The atmosphere is friendly and the service was good but the food was pretty subpar. The mole itself was pretty good, but I had the enchiladas and the tortillas tasted like they were just warmed in the microwave and the chicken inside tasted like rotisserie chicken from Costco. My father-in-law had the pozole and he didn't really like it as it tasted kind of old and he asked the waiter and the waiter said that it was from a few days ago. The cocktails and drinks on the other hand were good just a bit overpriced. Overall it was ok but there's lots that needs improvement. read more

The food is amazing! Some of the best lengua and chilaquilles that I've ever had in my entire life. I do have a couple of suggestions, the parts don't come with rice and beans which is strange. Just make it part of the meal and it didn't come loaded on with meat but that being said, they don't lose points. They're new, the food quality is fantastic, and the service and ambience is amazing. I can't wait to see this restaurant grow!! read more

Food was okay. Small portions for high prices. The service was below mediocre. We sat outside on a hot day and our waiter barely tended to us. He only came out to take our order and give us our bill. Someone else came out to bring us our food. We were so hot, we finished all of our water in our carafe but no one came out to fill it back up. My husband had to go inside and ask for a refill. I got the costilla de Puerco con nopales. The pork was super tender but I only had 4 pieces of pork and the rest were bones. The spot is super small inside. It wouldn't be a problem sitting outside on a nice day but they could really benefit from misters for hot days and patio heaters for cool days. Overall, the food is lacking in portion for price and the service was absent. I don't think I have a reason to return. read more

Finally made it here with high hopes and an open mind. We got margaritas- they were fresh and not too sweet. Next, got a Tamal (pictured). It was BONE dry! I mean dry to the point of crumbling...the meat and masa were cooked beyond salvation. It's a shame as the flavor wasn't bad but really hard to get past the crumbly, dry texture. Also got trio of emmanada/enchiladas. Each of the sauces were so, so sweet. No spice or heat in any of them and just left tasting bland but sweet. Acid was desperately needed along with some heat, flavor and salt. All in all, I don't think we will be returning. It was pretty darn bad, very sad. Outside ambiance was lovely, but waited a good ten minutes after requesting the check and it wasn't particularly busy. read more

Oaxaca - Tamal - A very dry and crumbly Tamale. Bone dry! - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Food was good but very small portions. You'll be hungry if you only order one meal. I'm petite, and still didn't fill me up. I ordered the enmoladas. No rice and no beans come with the meal. Only three small size enchiladas. Disappointing. Drinks were good but they served me a $13 mezcalina in a plastic cup. I have never been to a restaurant where the alcoholic drinks are served in plastic cups. I only gave it three stars because the staff was super friendly and very attentive to our needs. I'm not very critical of restaurants but this one was quite inadequate. Ambience was nice, we sat outside and it was nice weather. read more

The setting is nice and location is great. The drink variety isn't great for non alcoholic drinkers. We were in the back patio and the only table that were given disposable napkins while everyone else was given tablecloth napkins and utensils. We had to ask for napkins and utensils. I want to start by saying my husband is from Oaxaca so we know authentic dishes. Drinks were good we had agua de Jamaica and tamarindo. My husband had a cocktail. We ordered pozole my son ate it great. Lots of meat. My oldest son order barbacoa and he didn't like it neither did I. It was missing flavor. I ordered the tamal my husband and I did not like it at all. The tlayuda was good like I really liked it! I don't like asiento (a Mexican lard added to authentic tlayudas) I asked them if they had it and they didn't even know what it was and it worked perfectly for me! It wasn't huge either which I appreciate the size. My husband had Enmoladas he said it was ok. We ordered chips with guacamole and chapulines. The guacamole missed flavor tbh and the chips just seemed like from a package. Love the atmosphere but not the food. read more

Worked with Oaxaca staff to curate and host a private work event for 60 people in their beautiful center patio where there was a second bar set up for us personally. The chef prepared a lovely five course menu for us to experience on a timely schedule to go along with presentations by appointed speakers. All of the dishes were incredible and nostalgic for what authentic Mexican cooking should be. The staff was friendly, vibrant and overall attentive to our needs and anticipating the details. I'm grateful they were able to provide my colleagues and myself with such a wonderful experience. Will be back again very soon! read more

First off, we ordered the hibiscus margaritas and the guacamole appetizers. The presentation was excellent and very tasty. You can tell quality ingredients were used! My friend ordered the squash soup and said it was delicious. The server and cook were so attentive and kind to let my friend try the nopales! (she's never had them before) I'm so glad she got to try them and surprised at how nice they were about it! I got the enmoladas and the mole was so flavorful! By far the best mole I have had so far in Sacramento. Totally worth coming in for dinner based on their quality ingredients and service. I would definitely recommend it to friends read more

My wife and I Went to check out the restaurant after seeing it on instagram and decided to try it out and see what the hype was about. Drinks were good . Not too much option for happy hour on drinks. Food was ok not the best and did not taste authentic. Mole was good but tasted from the bottle you buy at the store. And chicken was dry in the enmoladas which you get three of them. Pricey with no side dish. My wife ordered the tlayudas, did not have any flavor at all not sure , feels like the restaurant is afraid of spices. Salsa de molcajete style salsa wasn't really that style more like can salsa in my opinion. Overall a solid 6/10. Drinks good Food just ok Authenticity: no creo read more

Another exemplary example of culinary and cocktail presentation at its best. Sr. Ernesto Delgado never disappoints. This included.

Service is very slow. Went on a Saturday night and found the restaurant mostly empty, 2 tables inside and 3 outside. Be aware, there are only 4 tables inside, all the rest of the seating is outside. Server took a bit to acknowledge us. When she did arrive to the table she asked for our drink order. Since we had been waiting a bit, we ordered drinks and dinner all at once. After taking our order she asked if we would like chips and salsa or guacamole. We passed since they show they charge for chips. We had 4 in our party and ordered the following: -Chile Relleno. $16. Was asked if I wanted rice or beans. Went with the rice, additional $5!!!! This dish was 2 stars. Sauce had no real flavor. The chile lacked flavor and it had almost know cheese in it. I was shocked that they charged $16 for a chile relleno on a plate with no sides. $5 more for rice or beans. That is crazy to not include sides with this plate. -Enmolades, $18, these were not bad. 3.5 stars. No rice or beans either. -Costilla de Puerco. $22. This was ok, 3 stars. Does come with rice and beans. Rice is really good. Beans were not bad. -Entomatado de Res. $23. Came with rice and beans. This was the star of the night. Short rib was very flavorful and shredded nicely. Very good. Only complaint is it had large pieces of fat that need to be cut off. Back to the service. Server came by once after the food was delivered. 3 of us had empty water glasses that were only refilled after flagging the server down. The second time our glasses weee empty we gave up. After completing our meal we sat with empty plates until we left. Which unfortunately was awhile until yet again our flagged our server down for the bill. My thoughts on this restaurant are it is a glorified taqueria disguised as an upper class Mexican restaurant. For the prices, I expected much better food and dining experience. I still can't get over that not all the entrees on offer do not come with rice or beans. Again, I have never gone to a Mexican restaurant that doesn't give you this with every entree. This is something I would expect at a taqueria. If you want better Mexican and a much better chile relleno I highly recommend Mezcal Grill or Tres Hermanas. read more

Wow!! Drove out from the east bay to celebrate my daughter's 25th birthday. We found this on yelp, wow! This place is absolutely delicious! Fantastic service, adorable Lil place. Very clean and warm vibes. My sister and I had the Chile relleno BEST ONE I'VE EVER EATEN! Every bite was Mouth watering! We had the herb guacamole and tried the different mole! Yummy!!! My daughter had the barbacoa pineapple tacos she loved them. My niece is vegan and they had a separate menu with a bevy of choices! The elote was , well not good. She had vegan tamales and absolutely loved them! The drinks were the watermelon margarita and the chili lime margarita. I had the hibiscus juice. Ended with a birthday churro which I don't particularly care for, but they managed to get me to LOVE theirs! It was warm, crunchy and delectable! We will definitely be back. Thank you to our fantastic waitress for making our lunch so memorable read more

Been here several times now and finally decided to review. Pros: lovely space, servers are very friendly. Cons: mistakes with my order every. single. time. And I'm not ordering some crazy off-menu item or making a bunch of substitutions, I'm talking about stuff that's been on their menu since they opened. I can't seem to tell if it's a server issue, kitchen issue, or understaffing, but considering their prices, I won't be back. read more

The chips were hard, the guacamole was flavorless, y las salsas no pican! Come on! This is Oaxacan cosplay and honestly an affront to Oaxacan gastronomy. We had the tlayuda and the chicken mole tamale. The chorizo on the tlayuda was flavorless and the tamale had the mole sauce as a topper and not in the actual tamale. The whole experience was a bummer. We didn't realize until we sat down that the restaurant is part of a larger chain. The servers were excellent and kind. read more

Stopped by to check it out during soft opening. Hoping they read this and take it to heart since I know they're just kicking off. Constructive criticism because I want them to be successful. Here's the good and bad... Salsa, guac, and chips were good. The salsa in particular was unique and tasty. The coarse grained chips were a nice change from the typical cantina chips. The elote is ridiculous. $12 for a piece of undercooked corn with a little crema and cilantro sprinkled on it. Nothing like elote from street vendors in Oaxaca and wildly overpriced. Legitimately bad and a total ripoff. The mole chicken enchiladas were excellent. Love the blue corn tortillas and the brown mole was delicious. it would be even better with a little side of black beans, which would not be unreasonable for $17. $9 for a bottle of Corona or Modelo is insane. I've never even come across prices like that in New York or SF. Their signature cocktail (Oaxacan Old Fashioned) was tasty but at $16 will just be an occasional treat. The birria soup was really good. Lots of birria in there and was served with some blue corn tortillas and diced onion on the side. I'd definitely get this again, even at $16. Service was good and attentive. They always made sure our water was full and brought out some extra chips, which was nice. Bill was $110 before tip for two kids and two adults. I look forward to trying their food again once they find their footing but for now, I'm going to hold off for a bit. read more

The Empanadas de Hongos dish (offered as part of a vegan challenge) was two small blue corn tortillas filled with about 2 tablespoons of mushrooms. Empanadas are not tortillas.
