I recently became elite (in San Diego) while I was traveling in Oaxaca. Aurora was nice enough to…read morereach out to me and invite me to a yelp elite event in Oaxaca. Everyone at the event was amazing! They were all so nice and welcoming. Also, they listened to my terrible Spanish. Pero quiero practicar. The employees and the owner of the restaurant were very accommodating. They went out of their way to help us understand everything, which was not expected. The food was excellent and so was the wine. It was a great yelp elite event and it was a unique experience for me to have in Oaxaca. Gracias!

I first have to say that the three stars are for the event, not for the location!…read more I had been to La Terminal, food-truck park before. I really like the concept and it is a great place to go to with a group of people (especially with fussy or vegetarians), everyone can have what they fancy and sit together to eat their meal. The terrain is big and there are enough tables and chairs. I especially like the food of the burger truck (burgers and chicken-wings) and I love the artisan beer of the Bear truck, great name btw. The Yelp party was a great idea but because of the small space for Yelp and loads of people it was a bit chaotic... I tried a few things but there was a lot of pushing and pulling. I think it would have been better to let in a few people (about 20) and give them 15 mins to try some things and then let the next group in. I did enjoy it with the music (DJ Netho), snacks and beers. But because of the chaos I gave the event three stars. La Terminal gets a higher rating as you can see in my review about the place.

Ended up going here 4 times, just for the food, while we were in Oaxaca. Great atmosphere, very…read morepleasant staff, and unique tasty menu items.

It was again a great get-together organised by Yelp, Thomas Inn and Mezcal: Cortijo. I have walked…read morepassed Thomas Inn several times and always hear live mariachi music and thought it was a simple/ typical "Cantina". I was really surprised to see the modern and sophisticated restaurant/bar. When we got sent up for the private party we walked into the second floor bar and a wonderful big roof terrace. Just amazing! Looking at the open air theatre "El Fortin" and the mountains around the city. The event was really fun with the DJ Netho Selektor who always knows how to set the vibe. We got a Indio beer and enjoyed talking to the other Yelpers. We had a cocktail, a Mezcal gusano of Cortijo and some typical Oaxaquenan food. After that we had a few fun interactions where I won a wonderful "#Mezcal" hat! Great for the Feria de Mezcal! In a few words: There was a great vibe, great people, drinks and food! I will definitly come back to Thomas Inn to sit on the roof terrace and enjoy their food and drinks.

I was lucky enough to be chosen as a secret agent to check out this new restaurant with fellow…read moreYelpers. At first it was a bit hard to find because the sign isn't very big and the first two floors of the building are offices.The restaurant is located on the third floor of the building, it has several balconies which look over a huge part of the city. While sitting in the restaurant (inside or on the balcony, really romantic btw) the view is beautiful, you can see several mountains in the distance and at night it is beautiful with the moon and all the lights below. I love the design of the restaurant, it is very simple but effective and very spacious. The staff is very polite and helpful. We tasted several different plates; a lovely fresh salad with nuts, delicious fries with smoked quesillo (Oaxaquenan cheese), tuna with apple and an apple sauce, an absolutely amazing pasta with king prawns and a cheese sauce and as dessert (2 desserts!!) a shot glass with whipped cream, coconut chunks and sauce and a wonderful brownie with ice cream. For my drink I started with a fresh Mango smoothie, nice and refreshing. After that I had a Mezcalini (a cocktail with mango, lemon juice, ice and mezcal) I really liked it, the taste was very soft and fruity and you could hardly notice that it contained mezcal, so perfect, I would highly recommend it. The chef is from France and has loads of experience working all over the world, he uses all the different techniques and recipes to make an amazing menu full of delicious starters, main courses and desserts. In short: a romantic restaurant with a great view, delicious food and cocktails and with a very fair price.
