My visit was in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, and as foreign traveling surfers most locals were uneasy around us to say the least, some places were completely forbidden to us, it was not the usual, hospitable Oaxaca we all know. However, when we got to the restaurant, we were greeted and warmly welcomed in and told to have a seat while we waited, he was finishing up our order. Turns out the owner was from Texas, very friendly and welcoming, kind person. Look forward to returning for more carnitas in April! To the few English readers in Salina Cruz who are looking for carnitas, this is your spot!

We had fish (Marlin on a bed of sweet potato and grilled veggies) that was delicious, and a shrimp risotto with veggies, it was good but the fish was better. Drinks with mezcal and maracuyá are delicious!

We enjoyed the shrimp salad - large, fresh shrimp perfectly flavored and a fresh, crisp salad. For entrees our table enjoyed the fresh fish of the day, pork loin and gnocchi. Everything was fantastic and this was one of my favorite "fancy" meal in the area. It is more expensive than some other places but we found the price was reasonable given the quality and freshness. Hope to get back here one day!

The food was delicious--probably one of the best meals we had in Huatulco. There was a power outage just before we arrived, but after a 20 minute walk around the area, we returned to the restaurant and things were back to normal. The staff were friendly, helpful and upbeat, even with the added stress. We all ordered fish which was delicious, perfectly prepared and presented. I would highly recommend Rotoco and look forward to returning.

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.

Juan and his staff welcomed us with a friendly smile and provided a detailed description of various options offered on the menu. The service was professional. This place is very clean and has air-conditioning, which is a nice break from the heat and humidity. The food was prepared from scratch, fresh to order, using the finest ingredients. The shrimp was grilled to perfection and the beef was so tender and flavorful that I was sad to take my last bite. They have a full bar and wine list as well as freshly prepared juices. My favorite is watermelon. Treat yourself to a five star meal at economy prices.
