Good quality food, pricier than other places but I had just recovered from an upset stomach and they seemed very cleanly so I took a chance. My French toast was exactly what I needed. Many of the decorations in the space were made of recycled materials which I think made the space very chic but sustainable. My partner ordered the eggs Benedict oaxacan style with pan con mole, queso y chapulines. IT WAS DELICIOUS!

Meh. I found this place to be a little overpriced for what it is. It was quiet when I went in,…read morethere were only 2-3 tables occupied around lunchtime. They have a large menu mostly comprised of sandwiches and burgers. Some odd items for Mexico including a bagel with lox and a Rueben. With that said I'm a little tired of Mexican food after being here for about two weeks so I opted to give it a try. I actually really liked the broccoli salad that came with the sandwich, it was tasty and fresh. Would definitely get that again. The sandwich was good, but the bread was terrible - so dry and hard. It was a bummer because the rest of the ingredients were yummy. They should have just thrown it on some simple white bread and it would be 10x better. Cheesecake was yummy but again a little pricey at 80 pesos. Probably wouldn't come back but I would consider getting a small side of the broccoli salad to go as a snack in the future.

This is a great place to go for shrimp, in ceviche, a taco, tostada, and the camarones al coco…read morewe're all good. Nice cold beers in a chilled mug. Reasonable prices. They also have octopus if you prefer.

My husband had a red pozole and I had chicken soup--both excellent! They bring out complimentary toasted tortillas and a thin, garlic-y guacamole which is truly special. Also, this place is cozy, cheap and kid-friendly (even though both high chairs were broken, which was annoying)

It was expensive, but delicious! So...... visit at your own risk!

Review for my fellow English speaking tourists:…read more This place is great. They became our go-to for food and drink in Oaxaca. Part of that was because of proximity to our hotel but they are in the main historical center so it's probably close to most hotels. The food selection is pretty good. They have pizza, salads, seafood, quesadillas, moles, and more. They only have dos equis on tap (Amber and lager) but they have a great cocktail list, lots of liquor and mezcal selection, and bottled local craft beer. The Portfirio Mezcal Porter is unique and one of my favorite Porters now (I hail from San Diego, so I am pretty well versed in craft beer). The service is fantastic and their prices are very good. Oh, and they have live music at night every day of the week!

On the quieter side of the main square in Zocalo, this one is worth foregoing the more popular…read morealfresco places right next to the cathedral. We had a simple but delicious lunch of chicken and avocado sandwich and chicken enchiladas. Both were prepared nicely, and they serve delicious chips and spicy salsa before lunch. And for my nondairy friends, they serve a very strong cappuccino with lactose-free steamed milk. I also liked that the majority of the folks sitting around us were Mexican, not the tourists. Always a good sign...
