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.

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 service is just.... Pure hospitality! Our server was so kind as we were tired from being out in the heat all day and he had a great sense of humor and made us feel incredibly at home. 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?)!!

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.

What a find! We wanted to try chapulines(grasshoppers) but the mole negro con pollo was so tasty!…read moreEverything was amazing. The tortilla soup didn't taste like we expected (as dumb Americans) but it was delicious! We will return!

Great spot, open longer than other nearby spots. Staff was super nice…read more The wait was pretty long for the food. Favorite was the quesadillas trio

Chill, laidback spot. Great service…read more Breakfast: French Toast - 5/5 Eggs and Potatoes - 4/5 French toast is delicious. Brioche with chocolate...yes, please. Eggs were cooked perfectly, over easy...ham was sliced thin, and delicious. Potatoes were seasoned perfectly, but could have been cooked a tad bit longer. Service is great. Very nice, quiet place to come relax.

Tlayudas El Chepil is worth the journey. The location and restaurant may not be for everyone, but…read morewe loved it. From ordering without a menu, watching the son prepare our tlayuda outside on the sidewalk, to the enjoyment of the food...even had fun when my agua mineral spritzed all over! 75 Pesos for the tlayuda , three links of delicious chorizo and two bottles of water. Astonishing! Our tip was more than the bill........Please let your hair down and make the venture.

There are loads of places where you can buy your typical Oaxacan late night snack: Tlayuda, but I…read moremust say (after visiting several) this is one of the best in town! I love the small (invisible during the day) restaurant with only 3 tables, if you come with a group they can but tables and chairs outside also. The family that runs it are very friendly and efficient. They cook the Tlayudas and meat outside and prepare them inside together with the tostadas (hard tacos with meat, cheese and vegetables). I personally love the Tlayudas with Quesillo. You can add tasajo (thin steak type meat) but the Tlayuda sencillo, so only cheese is more than enough for me. Of course with a nice refreshing drink, if you want they also have coffee and Champurrado (a drink that tastes like hot chocolate). The best thing of this place is that it's in the same street as the botanic garden/Santo Domingo church, it's pretty cheap and it's open daily from about 8pm to 1:30am.

They didn't have a menu out front but I walked in anyway…read more To start, we were given drinks. I have no idea what flavor they were supposed to be. It was a little thick and it had tiny seeds floating in it (sort of like strawberry seeds). I enjoyed it. We were asked if we wanted sopa (soup) or ensalada (salad). I got the soup and my boyfriend got the salad. The soup was a little oily and bland. It was red broth with bow tie noodles. I needed to add a lot of salt to it. The salad looked good. It had a lot of carrots on it. Also, it had coconut, which was unexpected. I'm glad that I got the soup though. For the entree, I got the pollo barbacoa and my boyfriend ordered the tacos. We were given four options to pick from. The sauce for the chicken was good and it also included rice and vegetables. For dessert, we were given a small plate with sliced carrots, raisins, and cream. It was super weird and not my thing. I don't like carrots though. My boyfriend thought it tasted like cake frosting.

We always come here for the guacamole and fresh salsa, both made right by your table!!…read more Order the grasshoppers (chapulines) and add them to both the guacamole and the salsa. Absolutely delicious. This place is gorgeous, and the staff is super attentive. I had an incident that there was a Bee inside my beer, which stung me in the tongue. The staff was prompt to offer help and I even got a shot of mezcal for free!
