A truly gem of authentic oaxacan cuisine. Beware portions…read moreare very generous. The Masita is great! Super tasty. Kids loved the picaditas comes with cecina. The tacos de Barbacoa are to die for here! O M G the tortilla size is huge! Served with salsa, cilantro and onions you will want to keep coming back. Staff is super friendly and courteous. Usually the owner is the one in the kitchen making sure every plate that leaves meets her standards. The atmosphere is friendly and every time am there I get treated if i was family. Desert on the house and even a shot of mezcal or compuesto! Just the food alone is the reason I keep going back to visit this place.highly recommended. You will not be disappointed I guarantee it

I think I had the best tortilla soup of my life here, cooked in a clay pot that's likely been stewing for years and that I'll never be able to recreate at home. Also, delighted to find huitlacoche quesadillas on the menu. These are the types of places that keep me coming back to Mexico.

From the moment we arrived at Tlamanalli, the experience felt truly Michelin-star worthy. 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.

I recommend making a reservation "Alta" which is the balcony seating -- in the evening, once it's cooled down, it's a beautiful setting. The food is fresh with amazing combination for flavors.

The tasado taco is an amazing blend of flavors. They have amazing mole -- with two mole trios -- or dedicated mole dishes. The mole negro is incredible! And the Coloradito with pork belly was my fav. They had great soups -- we tried boththw corn and the carrot specials. Just such a magical place bc of the hospitality and food combo! Thank you, Miguel (sp?)!!

Hubby got the mackerel and the veggie terrine. He said the mackerel was the best he ever had. I got the tomato salad and the tacos. Both were very good. I can't find it five stars because i felt the menu was limited and my dishes did not blow me away. Had my expectations been lower i would give five stars.
