Really fancy restaurant in Oaxaca. They have the best meats. They are available on salt flats and…read moredefinitely worth the experience if you can afford it. This place is definitely more catered to foreigners bc it would be too expensive for locals.

Mustekala is a pleasant restaurant located in the San Felipe neighborhood of Oaxaca. It had been on…read moreour list for some time and we were not disappointed. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose outdoor. Indoors has about 10 tables of varying size (we did not explore the inside). Outside is a very large area mostly dedicated to children activities. We saw a number of shaded/tented areas with a large number of tables. Since it was mid afternoon, we decided to have a late lunch rather than a dinner. My wife had Baja style fish tacos (3) and I ordered the Rib eye tacos (4). Both were excellent, but the Baja style won. Easily a 5, while the Rib eyes were 4.5. We don't often see Baja style tacos here. We also had a Dorado ceviche. Ceviche was very good as well. It included black olives, but they were easy to remove and did not overpower the fish. A basket of breads and tostadas with cranberry butter, caramelized and pickled onions, rounded it all out. They have a nice selection of mescal based cocktails and a standard list of tried and trues. They also have a modest selection of wines. Service was professional. Covid precautions were in place. If we could change anything, we would suggest an updated cocktail selection and a scaled back menu. We are looking forward to going back for dinner and more tacos.

We were very hungry and it was very hot as it was 88 degrees in Oaxaca. We decided to start with a few drinks. The drinks were ok, a bit sweet and did not taste like mezcal at all or like they had any alcohol. I was very disappointed. We also had a tlayuda which was a decent portion and filling but it was way overpriced. They charge $260 pesos where in other places they charged around $170 for the exact same portion. The only good thing about this restaurant is the view of the Templo de Santo Domingo from the rooftop which was gorgeous. Our servers were also attentive.
