    8 kinds of etole
    Anna H.

    Probably one of the best cafes we've been to. The area we sat at was so comfortable I could have slept there. I love how all the various kinds of etole are all there to choose and learn which is which. We chose the trigo which is unsweetened and the cacao which was slightly sweet. Very nice especially on a cool morning. Accompany them well with any of their pastries! Highly recommend visiting here! Excellent service!

    Beautiful place! Amazing views, great service and all the food we tried was really yummy!

    We have visited Oaxaxca twice, and done most, if not all, the high end recommended restaurants ( although we are pescatarian, which limits the wonderful moles and meats to be found) Tierra del Sol for flavorful and creative dishes, tradition and sustainability focus maybe my favorite. The ingredients are really pronounced in the food flavors. Too bad we found it on our last night in town. I will return. We also visited the atolería, which we loved, also the bakery is superb. The rooftop dining was relaxed . Service was prompt and attentive. You begin downstairs with a bit of orientation an background and some small bites. Then proceed up stairs to the balcony.

    Walked here on a Wednesday afternoon in early July 2023. We did not have a reservation but there was a ton of free seating. The patio on the roof was incredible. They have a complementary table service for salsa. They make it from scratch while you pick the ingredients that go into it. We didn't like ours that much though - it needed lime and more salt. I ordered the lechon tacos and my fiance ordered their brisket, suadero, and chrizo tetelas. We both loved our orders but needed to ask for lime for all our dishes. We regret not ordering a salad because we didn't have any fiber in our meal. We both ordered a drink and ended up paying MX$505 for two people.

    This was the first meal I had in Oaxaca and it set the bar extremely high for everything else I ate. Upon entering, everyone was friendly, offering me both menus and service in English or Spanish. I was guided up to the rooftop with beautiful views and every seat seemed like the best seat in the house. I started off with a delicious cocktail from the bar - the Cabrona - I highly recommend it. Next, I was presented with a molcajete and a number of ingredients. I was told what ingredients to choose in order to make the salsa for my table. I chose chile de agua, chapulines, tomatos and more. The tlayuda was crispy and cheesy and the blue corn tortillas were unbelievable. You can choose what meat you want the tlayuda served with, and I'm glad that I chose chorizo - spicy and perfectly accompanied the cheesy tlayuda. The dish was served with cepiche - an aromatic herb that had a taste like I've never had before. The main dish - huachimole - was a succulent cut of pork covered in a rich traditional sauce served with freshly made tortillas (again, to die for!). The meat was so tender. I sopped up every morsel of the sauce with the delicious meat. I didn't know that I had any room left, but when the server asked if I wanted dessert, I couldn't resist. The chocolate taco had a beautiful mousse with fruits and berries on top. By itself, I would have been more than satisfied with the richness, the texture, and the juxtaposition of the cacao and the sweet fruit, but the chile sauce poured on top just sent me over the edge. The taco was not only delicious, but it was quite possibly one of the most beautiful dishes I've ever seen. On a second trip to Tierra del Sol, I visited their Atoleria. I've had many delicious cups of atole - from atole de avena to maiz to champurrado, but I had never been to a such a wonderful place that just serves different types of atole. Of course, I had to try a flight of atoles - blue corn, white corn with guayaba, champurrado, and tortilla. Each one was so different and delicious in its own way. The white corn with guayaba was the most surprising because of its tartness. It was another highlight of my trip to Oaxaca.

    We tried to come our first night on arrival to Oaxaca to eat at their rooftop, but we were unable to since we didn't have reservations. Two nights later, we got a reservation for outdoor dining on the rooftop. However, we have been having these massive nightly storms, which changed our outdoor rooftop dining to indoor dining. The ambiance was definitely different indoors as it felt crowded. The servers were kind and patient with us since our Spanish wasn't the best. Some servers did speak English. The food was prepared well. It tasted authentic and fresh. I enjoyed that our waiter prepared the salsa in front of us. My favorite was the white mole and green pescado mole. Because of the rains, they closed down their bar and we could not get cocktails, which was very disappointing. Wish we could have enjoyed the rooftop and cocktails. Recommend checking this spot out regardless.

    The view, the vibe

    Amazing food and service, probably the best place we had dinner during our trip in February. The atmosphere was your notch. Can't wait to go back in February 2026.

    Steak with no mole.

    We went here after visiting the neighboring botanical gardens. It was a very warm day, high 80's, quite humid as well. When we entered, the hostesses were very kind and welcoming. We were directed to the roof top. VERY beautiful scenery. Service was excellent, our server was knowledgeable and very friendly, unfortunately I've forgotten his name. For the food, it was AMAZING. From the presentation to the flavors, was very impressed. Our group ordered the bone marrow, beef bone, pork shoulder and leg.

    Tierra del Sol is in general my favorite restaurant in Oaxaca for its food quality, variety of dishes, outstanding customer service, and focus on sustainability. We also visited the atolería every day! And the bread was to die for. The ambient on the rooftop was relaxing and cordial. Congratulations to Chef Olga Cabrera (I wish I could have met her in person) and all her team for such an extraordinary place to enjoy life. Until the next one!

    Out of all the higher end restaurants this was my husband and I fav! The food was simple but it had flavor and was not disappointing. I'd like to add we both ate at the market several times this week. It was really fun to pick your ingredients as they made our salsa.

    Disgusting. If you are a person of any color other than white expect a long wait and see others go in front of you. Besides the colorism the food is horrible and overpriced. Bland food that they pass as "Oaxacan culture". This place is a disgrace to Mexican cuisine and ruined my night. AVOID!

    I came here for the renowned drinks but also ended up loving their food! It's a super cute spot…read morewith tiles and open balcony doors. We were able to get a seat right away and the servers were super helpful. My friend wanted to try some mezcal and they let us taste a couple before choosing. We sat at the restaurant instead of the bar because it was cuter and I wanted food too. I tried two of their fruity mezcal drinks and loved both. I forget the names but one had watermelon, and the other had coconut and lime. I ordered cheese stuffed plantains with mole and this was soooo good. It was very filling too!

    Sabina Sabe is a popular restaurant and bar located in the city center of Oaxaca. It was recently…read moreon the list of North America's 50 Best Bars. I thought it was funny when I got the menu and the food menu was only one page while the drink menu was five pages. The outside of the restaurant is blue-ish and the restaurant has multiple rooms. The ceviche del dia ($190 MXN) was a little sweet and not as tart or sour as others I've had. The tacos de sirloin ($170) were really good and were our group's favorite. The taquitos dorados de mole negro ($140) were okay; there was no meat just in case you were wondering. The aguachile rojo de camaron ($190) were good. The esquite con tuetano ($100) was not like a typical corn in a cup but it was closer to a corn soup. For drinks I had the pequeño gigante ($210) which was good. The paloma madura and paloma margarita were both favorites among our group. We went during the day and it wasn't that busy but supposedly it gets way busier and livelier at night.
