Excellent Place, great food and drinks. The staff very friendly. I saw this restaurant on a food TV show about best places on Oaxaca and since I was visiting decide to try it. I was not disappointed. My waiter was Edgar and the Manager Antonio were excellent with their service and making sure people were comfortable. You do have to make reservations. read more

A friend of ours recommended this restaurant for dinner. We walked in and were seated right away. We went on a Sunday evening and there were a couple other people there. We looked over the drink menu and couldn't decide between the cocktails. There's no descriptions so we asked our server and he described them. They all sounded delicious so we ordered the ponche, jarrito oaxaqueno, and quince letras. My favorite was the ponche but they were all yummy. The quince letras was slightly creamy. We started with a garden salad and tacos de chalpulines with guacamole. The salad was fresh and included green beans and something that resembled zucchini. The tacos were delicious. If you don't like grasshoppers, you don't even realize it when eating it in a taco with guac. For my main dish, I ordered the trilogia de mole. It's only available on the weekends. It comes with a red mole, green mole, and black mole. All were delicious but my favorite was the black mole- so rich and flavorful. We ended with dessert- tamale de chocolate. We added ice cream for a small extra charge. It tasted like a brownie. The flavor was rich. The texture was moist and the ice cream was the perfect compliment. Overall we had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, price was reasonable, service was good. Restaurant was clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend quince letras. read more

DISHONEST!!! Read your check before you pay. DESHONESTOS!!!! Revisa tu cuenta antes de pagar. I read great reviews and their online menu looked delicious so my wife and I decided to go there for brunch. My food was delicious, my wife's not so much, but still willing to come back to try something else until dishonesty on their part kicked in. It started with our waiter bringing my wife a café americano when she had asked for a café de olla. My wife told the waiter right away about the mistake and the waiter graciously apologized and brought her a café de olla right away. Everything was still great at the moment but when it was time to pay we noticed two items in our check that we never ordered, a tamal and the café americano. We told the waited about the mistake and went to fix it, another gentlemen brought us back what we thought was a corrected check except that they still had not removed the café americano. My wife went back to tell them and finally fixed it but the waiter kept acting innocent about the café americano although it was him who made the mistake. Yeah, yeah, sure, I know, it was only about 35 pesos for the coffee but I HATE TO HAVE TO WATCH MY BACK AND COUNT EVERY CENT BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT I MIGHT ALSO GET RIPPED OFF AT A RESTAURANT SUCH AS THIS. Their customer service was excellent until I lost trust with this place. read more

Las Quince Letras - Proof of visit. - Oaxacan Near Me - Oaxaca, OAX

When we checked into our flight from Mexico City to Oaxaca, our airline gate agent insisted that had to eat here. Since we were staying just a couple blocks away, we stopped by for a late lunch after we arrived. In short - fantastic recommendation! I started off with the chapuline appetizer - which was fried baby grasshoppers in a garlic chili lime sauce. I had not knowingly eaten insects before, so I had to initially repress my gag reflex, but it went away after the first bite. They were very tasty - how can fried anything in a garlic chili lime sauce not taste delicious?? There were served with a side of tortillas, and I scooped up each and every last chapuline and mopped up the sauce afterwards. Since they were baby grasshoppers, they were very small, so I must have eaten about a hundred of them. For my main course, I had the cow tongue in an almond mole sauce. The mole was rich and sweet - almost peanut buttery. The tongue was nice and tender. The only drawback was that the potion size was a little small. For dessert, I had the flaming banana in mezcal, topped with Oaxaca cheese. It was very good. The menu was in Spanish only, but we were able to figure everything out with Google Translate. The waiter didn't speak too much English, but we had no problem communicating. This was an excellent meal and I'm very happy to have dined here. read more

I'm not sure why it took us 3 days to find this gem that is right around the corner from our hotel. Beautiful dining area with great art, friendly staff, great mescals and mole to die for. First place we've been that served glasses of water at the table. Can't wait to go back & explore the menu. read more

We came to Las Quince Letras because it's said to be one of the most authentic restaurants in town and much loved for its mole. Unfortunately, our dining experience didn't quite match our expectations. Let's start with the stuff they got right. Our waiter was extremely attentive and had a solid grasp of the menu. Secondly, the indoor courtyard was filled with colorful fiesta-themed decors and an abundance of greenery. Eating here really felt like being part of a tradional Oaxacan family meal. Now, onto the food. My biggest issue with the food is that it's really just average. The chicken in our two mole dishes were definitely overcooked and tasted tough. The large tasting platter was the biggest disappointment. While the carne asada seemed hot off the grill, the taquitos, chorizos, and tamales looked and tasted stale and as if they were pre-cooked. The Mezcal drinks we had was fairly ordinary despite being drummed up by our waiter. This to me was not a top 10 Oaxacan restaurant, but rather a mediocre one at best. read more

We were in Oaxaca, Mexico this passed weekend. Had the opportunity to made reservation for dinner Thursday October 6th, since I found Huazontle in Caldillo on the menu (I am a fan of this dish)..! The dish was so delicious as well as my wife's 3 choices mole dish. That we decided to returned for dinner the following night. Roberto our waiter, was extremely attentive, helpful, professional and it turns out we are from the same neighborhood in CDMX....go figure.! We mentioned that we wanted to set up a reservation right there and then for Friday, since we would be celebrating my birthday. He not only made the reservation, he let them know that. Even though it was he's day-off......that we would be celebrating a birthday, mine..!! The food on Friday did not disappoint, it was as delicious as the night before as well as the drink ( A Gelagetza). My wife's dish was a caldo de pollo, and she liked it just like the mole. Me I had my Huazontle of course hahahah.! But way, at the end of our meal. The waiter brought a gift dessert dish with the words "felicidades" in Spanish. And a lady play Las mañanitas on a saxophone, and they sang the mañanitas as well.!!!! Wow, I mean wow.... Attention to detail and a great gesture by all the folks there, not to mentioned Roberto. Truly recommend this restaurant, if you are ever in Oaxaca.!!!! read more

Overall my favorite restaurant experience in Oaxaca! Settle in and enjoy the chips, salsas, and a glass of something because service isn't the fastest (though it is friendly and helpful). During our meal there was live music, and Chef Celia Florian visited our table twice. The dining room is open and airy, green plants and cactus, lots of natural light. The tres moles, guacamole, and house wine were just delicious, and we shared a corn cake and flan for dessert. There are lots of good restaurants in Oaxaca and I really enjoyed this one for its winning combination of good food, relaxed vibe, and friendly service. read more

Absolutely a place you will enjoy and come back to. Great service from their waiters and servers. The food is exactly what we were looking to have in Oaxaca, the traditional Mole and Oaxaca Tamales.

If I were in the States and ate food from Las Quince Letras, I maybe (?) would consider eating there again. But, in Oaxaca, surrounded by all these restaurants that serve traditional food, this place doesn't stand out. In fact, the black mole is a dismal failure. I ate there based on the high reviews but now I don't think that any were written by actual Oaxacans. Full disclosure, I'm not one either but my family went to see the state that my mom grew up in and I've been eating mole all my life. You can imagine my surprise and disappointment when I tasted the least flavorful mole in my life while dining at Las Quince Letras. I mean, mole is supposed to have a multitude of flavors composed of so many spices. Even the relatively nonspicy ones are rich in tast. Yet this place fails in delivering that. The layout was lovely. The servers were slow to refill our water glasses when they ran low. The meat was pretty good. But I can't over the fact that the mole was so disappointing that all the other details seem superficial. Eh, if you're a tourist, it's a clean place that plays up the food decently. Customer sevice is ok. If I hadn't grown up eating this, I would probably rate it a 3/5 as far as service goes and 4/5 in regards to the food. But I can't get past the mole. read more

Amazing food and place, would go back 100 times right in the center of town where all the fun is

My favorite Oaxaca city restaurant, Las Quince Letras, has the most amazing móles in town. I tried the duo with móle negro, and coloradito...so delicious! The tortillas are fresh off the comal, served by smiling waitstaff. Gracias, Chef Celia! read more

The food was good and so were the drinks. However, the service although friendly felt a bit too slow considering it was nowhere near full. read more

Las 15 Letras was one of my top restaurant experiences during my time in Oaxaca. The service and ambiance was great. We started off with ordering delicious cafe de olla and freshly squeezed orange juice. We then received complimentary sweet bread as we waited for our main dishes. Although they have a small menu, the restaurant specializes in every item they have. The enchiladas and my breakfast plate was superb! A lot of flavor in the meals and I honestly got full before I could finish my plate. Extremely satisfied with this place and I would recommend anyone to come here for brunch. read more

Great place. The venue is super nice. It has a small indoor patio, with ample room for large parties. The food is super authentic, good flavors. Is a very comprehensive sampler of the local cuisine. The servers are very knowledgeable. If you are not sure what to order they will give you good advice. Is not the kind of place in where the server just pick the must expensive item on the menu. Close to the city center. read more

Good food but a bit overpriced. The Chile Nogales looked very pretty but the flavor just wasn't there.

Absolutely a great experience! sat up on the rooftop and watch the Day of the Dead parade since it's on a corner the parade came up the street and turned right in front of us. the food was incredible. triple MOLE!!!!! our waiter was incredible! loved the warm and welcoming feel of the place. you won't be disappointed! What a great way to start off our Oaxacan vacation. Gracias Las Quince. Since Oaxaca is now my happy place iwill be back! read more

Amazing mole tacos. Good optional for a less formal dinner in Oaxaca. Everyone kept recommending it!

This is a fabulous, family owned restaurant. They serve authentic oaxacan's food and have some of the best mole in town.

Beautiful outdoor seating in comfortable environment. Professional attentive service with helpful suggestions. Delicious cocktails and beautifully plated delicious food. On our second visit we had a terrific shrimp dish of sautéed shrimp in mezcal whit mole, it was fabulous. read more

Wonderful food worthy of their awards they displayed at the entrance. I had the almond mole with chicken and my partner the Chile Michiote.

The service was good, but not the best food. The meat was a bit dry and was not tasty. My husband had the 3 moles and that was a better choice. If the waiter does not like the tip, they will let you know. At least our lady waiter made us aware that tip was not included and needed to leave 10 percent. I would eat at the more authentic places like the markets to get the best tasting food. read more

High hopes for this place based on recommendations but even 1/4 full the service was meh and the food was ok. There are better options IMO.

Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, and excellent service. My girlfriend and I went here on November the second, obviously a very busy time, but were seated quickly in the beautiful outside area. The clientele included both locals and tourists, and our waiter was extremely gracious. We both decided to get the trio of moles, so he wisely suggested we get 6 different types. Three were indicative of the indigenous cuisine, while the other three were more Hispanic in origin, yet all uniquely Oaxacan. These were delicious, as was the sangria and dessert. To top it off the prices are quite good as well! Overall I would highly recommend. read more

I love this place. Every time I come to oaxaca Aid her over and over again. Besides all of the food, being really good, the service is great. And you must try the homemade chocolate mousse. The prices are decent and the ambience is great. They have fresh juices and homemade chocolate drinks. read more

Good drinks. Nice dining room and vibe. Attentive staff. All the moles have chicken stock (for the vegans and vegetarians out there, I asked). The trio of moles was very good. Would have gotten 4.5 stars had they not run out of fish and pastel de elote for dessert. read more

I recommend trying the plate with three different types of Mole. It's a great way to sample; the black mole, the yellow mole and the almond mole. I discovered my favorite is the almond mole. The prices here are definitely higher than local spots yet still a great place to try some traditional Oaxacan dishes. The guacamole starter was a small portion compared to other restaurants yet still good. The service was great. read more

One of the best meals I've ever had. Delicious traditional Oaxacan food made with so much care. Great service as well

Terrific spot to sample traditional Oaxacan specialties. I had the mole sampler and just about died from pleasure. Great service, delightful ambiance, although it does feel a bit touristy.

There was a line of people out the door just waiting to get on a waiting list so they could wait an hour and a half to get a table! (We had reservations.) Once we received some food, we could not understand why so many people wanted to eat here. Our waiter was slow and unhelpful and spoke no English, so couldn't answer any of our questions, even using our limited Spanish. We had heard about this place because of the cheese-making featured on Eva Longoria's TV series, where they added chapulines and herbs to their cheese. So one of us ordered that cheese dish, but never came across a grasshopper. The other dishes were really boring, as were the drinks. But mole dishes we ordered were supposed to come with rice but there was none delivered until we pointed that out on the menu to a manager, who eventually brought a tiny portion of rice for each dish (we were halfway done by then). All in all, very disappointing. If you want a real dining experience in Oaxaca, go to Criollo. read more
