The Reforma neighborhood is obviously a very posh part of town - nice shops and quiet streets. Casa Oaxaca Café is an oasis - an open courtyard layout with wooden tables and lots of flowers. The service is exquisite and Chef Alejandro's food is divine. We started with the homemade breads from the basket that they are walking around with. Each slab of "quick bread" was 19 pesos and came with the jam of the day. We split a slice of the carrot bread and the "butterfat" bread with the mango jam. The carrot bread did not really need any adornment as it was so moist and delicious - remarkable because raisins can dry bread out. The butter bread was also quite moist, but it was a blank canvas if you will and the tropical mango jam really sang on it. We split a couple of the tempting egg dishes. We had the fried farm fresh eggs (a perfect easy to medium with vibrant yellow-orange yolks with bacon (TOCINO!!!), black beans and herbed homemade tortillas (82 pesos or just over $4). They were some of the best eggs that I have ever had - a tortilla with a shmear of black beans, a bit of egg and some bacon and a bit of salsa roja is a breakfast taco that I could never have imagined possible. (The eggs are cooked on the comal, and it does something really special.) We also had the Huevos Rancheros (105 pesos or $5.25), which was a tortilla fresh of the comal topped with a couple of those perfect eggs, a warm salsa of tomatoes, onions and aguachiles and a couple of slices of fresh cheese that was grilled on the comal. Oh my goodness - that sweet and slightly spicy sauce with the unctuous and rich eggs was mind blowing. I wasn't a super big fan of the cheese, as it was a little tough, but it was not needed. We did have a chapurrado as well (35 pesos or less than $2). I thought that this was different from the chocolate atole. After having had it, I think that it is the same thing with a local name versus an explanatory name. It was an amazing meal with warm and lovely people. I only wish that I could get Chef Alejandro's cookbook, but I can only find it in Spanish!

The shrimp cocktail was off the hook, whatever my wife ordered she for sure enjoyed it. I forgot the name of what she ordered. The ambiance is really cozy, and feels welcoming. Lots of green around. Gives a cool vibe. We got to speak with the owner, an amazing guy, really thoughtful about the flavors incorporated into the menu. And very expressive when it comes to the decor. The staff was super attentive and friendly! This visit made our day, not everyone has been as friendly and welcoming as this staff, it's great to know there are places where they get us. I hope we get a chance to come back!!!
