It is…read morelocated at the lovely Casa Bonita, a Star Diamond recipient hotel and the menu fuses elements of Asian cuisine with Oaxacan and Mexican cuisine in general. It has two seating levels, ground and a raised dais. We chose the dais. Service was very attentive. Our original selection of wine was not in stock and instead we took their recommendation for a Monte Xanic Sauvignon Blanc Viña Kristel. In addition to the 3 salsas (Habanero and orange, Chapuline, and Chipolte mayo) and tostadas, we were surprised with a hot shrimp consomme. While the digital menu appears to be quite large (97 pages), the layout contributes heavily to its length). Since we had come for dinner, we started with an order of the Red Snapper Ceviche as an appetizer. We asked about its size, as we were planning to share and they told us it was small and would we like it divided for each of us. We very surprised the portions we were served appeared to be full sized for each of us. Dinner selections were the Garlic Noodles with Lobster (noodles with garlic and oyster sauce. Pan seared lobster with parsley sauce and white wine) and Roasted Thai Tuna Steak (Grilled tuna with coconut milk sauce and Rice). Desert was the Famous Lemon Cake (more of a lemon meringue) and a Sweet Corn and Cheese Flan with Caramel. We thought the meal was exceptionally well prepared with the possible exception of the lobster; we thought it was the slightest bit overcooked. If we could change anything, we would suggest an updated cocktail selection Menu link - https://www.menudigital.com/casa-bonita-hotel-boutique-&-spa Nos habían sugerido que el restaurante era muy bueno. No nos decepcionó. Se encuentra en Casa Bonita, un hotel beneficiario de Star Diamond y el menú fusiona elementos de la cocina asiática con la oaxaqueña y mexicana en general. Tiene dos niveles de asientos, planta baja y un estrado elevado. Elegimos el estrado. El servicio fue muy atento.

Aunque el menú digital parece ser bastante grande (97 páginas), la estructura contribuye en gran medida a su longitud). Como habíamos venido a cenar, empezamos con una orden del Ceviche de Pargo Rojo como aperitivo. Preguntamos por su tamaño, ya que pensábamos compartir y nos dijeron que era pequeño y que si queríamos que nos lo dividieran para cada uno. Nos sorprendió mucho que las porciones que nos sirvieron parecían ser de tamaño completo para cada uno de nosotros. Las selecciones de la cena fueron los fideos chinos con ajo y salsa de ostion, langosta a la sarteneado en salsa de perejil y vino blanco; y atun fresco asado con salsa de leche de coco y arroz. El postre fue la famosa tarta de limón (más bien un merengue de limón) y un flan de elote y queso con caramelo. Nos pareció que la comida estaba excepcionalmente bien preparada con la posible excepción de la langosta; nos pareció que estaba un poco pasada de cocción. Si pudiéramos cambiar algo, sugeriríamos una selección de cócteles actualizada Enlace al menú - https://www.menudigital.com/casa-bonita-hotel-boutique-&-spa

WOW. What a find. We were just walking around the streets of Oaxaca and stumbled upon this small…read morespot. We just wanted a to-go margarita, and we decided to sit down and wait for those drinks to be ready. Jorge came over to our table and started talking to us about our time here in Oaxaca. We were asking some questions about the menu and decided to order one of the specials, the Mazatlan mackerel ceviche on top of salsa verde chips. Holy shi*, this was the best ceviche I've ever had in my life. The server/owner Jorge, was absolutely phenomenal, and let us know all of the history about the restaurant, his family, and everything that led to this amazing spot. His mom and him own the restaurant together, and brought their flavors from Mazatlan here to Oaxaca. They are so proud of every salsa, drink, and thing that they bring to the table. We ended up staying at this restaurant for three hours, drinking, talking, and enjoying everything that they brought us. If you want a casual lunch or dinner with great drinks, and amazing food, this is the spot. Unfortunately, they don't have a yelp yet, but once they make one, I'm definitely leaving the same review!

Eating here is a spiritual experience that will change your life. This is THE BEST restaurant in Oaxaca in terms of service, taste, presentation, and VALUE. I have gone to other highly rated and acclaimed restaurants in the city, and let me tell you I WISH I saved my money and came here for every meal instead. It is insane how you can get such an amazing, filling, and creative meal at such a great price. Personal highlights were the pasta negra de mariscos and the pastel 3 leches. Please, if you're in Oaxaca you need to come here! If you're not in Oaxaca, you need to visit just to come to this restaurant. You will have the experience of a lifetime. (Do not listen to the hater who gave this place 3 stars, they don't deserve this!)

Lacking acidity for the baja folks. But overall pretty good. Oysters were fresh and great. The yellow sauce they serve with the oysters is phenomenal. Tostada macha is lacking acidity as well. Shrimp needs to be cured in lime a bit more as it was a bit too chewy. Aguachile verde was probably the best dish we had. Acidity was good the salt was right. Overall this is a good place to try out yourself. There is better seafood out there I just dint think it's in Oaxaca.
