I had the 3 course menu of the day and it included soup, entree, a flan dessert and a nice drink. The soup was cilantro soup and it was very fresh and delicious.

My husband had pork belly. The sauce was a spicy red sauce, which was very flavorful. We enjoyed the fact that they had craft beers also. Ambiance is nice especially in the bright back room, where the fans really helped to deal with the midday heat. If you want a great meal for a very reasonable price, go here.

I also must say that the waitresses were rathet grumpy, looked tired and acted annoyed so I could not speak well of the customer service. For there reasons I had to keep it at two stars although I do appreciate that it was a healthier alternative to other restaurants nearby. I ordered the Chile Relleno de Picadillo de Championes (stuffed pepper with minced mushrooms) however there was no dried cranberries or almonds like the menu promised. I also didn't notice any mango curry sauce either. The brown rice it came with was mushy and too salty on top and the "serving of vegetables" was soo small. Just not worth the 130 pesos for such a small stuffed pepper that looked nothing like the picture on some of the other reviews which I am starting to wonder might be fake. My partner ordered the sopa de cacahuate for 40 pesos and the Chile relleno de Platano Macho which came with rice and beans for 80 pesos. As you can tell from the picture, they used the smallest pepper possible and being that plantains, beans and rice are so cheap I don't know how they can justify 80 pesos. We liked the baked tortilla chips (which was a much healthier option than fried tortilla chips) and the four small slices of chewy sourdough bread but did not like the sauce at all which my partner also wasn't a big fan of. The peanut soup was good and I enjoyed the peanuts with the peas ... it was unique and the process for that was actually more reasonable at 50 pesos. It could have used more spices however!! The waitresses looked so miserable and seemed annoyed at the customers ... the food actually tastes better if you ignore them. There are many vegetarian options in Oaxaca so I would recommend going somewhere else!

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.
