I think I had the best tortilla soup of my life here, cooked in a clay pot that's likely been stewing for years and that I'll never be able to recreate at home. Also, delighted to find huitlacoche quesadillas on the menu. These are the types of places that keep me coming back to Mexico.

The tasado taco is an amazing blend of flavors. They have amazing mole -- with two mole trios -- or dedicated mole dishes. The mole negro is incredible! And the Coloradito with pork belly was my fav. They had great soups -- we tried boththw corn and the carrot specials. Just such a magical place bc of the hospitality and food combo! Thank you, Miguel (sp?)!!

Hubby got the mackerel and the veggie terrine. He said the mackerel was the best he ever had. I got the tomato salad and the tacos. Both were very good.

From the moment we arrived at Tlamanalli, the experience felt truly Michelin-star worthy. We began…read morewith a delightful welcome from the kitchen: espadín mezcal, refried beans, guacamole, orange slices, and chili-seasoned pumpkin seeds -- all on the house. For starters, we ordered two traditional soups: sopa de flor de calabaza (squash blossom soup) and sopa de nopal (cactus soup) -- both earthy, comforting, and authentically Oaxacan. We then tried three moles: mole negro (my personal favorite), segueza, a pre-Hispanic corn-based mole, and the special of the day, mole zapoteco. We finished with three desserts: tejocotes en dulce (sweetened Mexican hawthorn fruit, which I found a bit bland), flan Tlamanalli, and nieve de níspero (loquat sorbet -- delicious, and another personal favorite). To end the meal, they surprised us with chocolate de metate on the house. The service was warm and attentive, with multiple thoughtful extras -- a welcome touch you don't often find. There is clear attention to detail throughout, from the beautiful plates to the presentation of each dish. It truly feels like a home-cooked meal -- because it is. This is not a restaurant mass-producing dishes. It is run by Abigail Mendoza and her family, and each dish is cooked only after you place your order, which adds to the sense of care and intention behind every plate. If you're looking for an unforgettable culinary experience, immerse yourself in traditional Zapotec cuisine at Tlamanalli.

It was a little thick and it had tiny seeds floating in it (sort of like strawberry seeds). I enjoyed it. We were asked if we wanted sopa (soup) or ensalada (salad). I got the soup and my boyfriend got the salad. The soup was a little oily and bland. It was red broth with bow tie noodles. I needed to add a lot of salt to it. The salad looked good. It had a lot of carrots on it. Also, it had coconut, which was unexpected. I'm glad that I got the soup though. For the entree, I got the pollo barbacoa and my boyfriend ordered the tacos. We were given four options to pick from. The sauce for the chicken was good and it also included rice and vegetables. For dessert, we were given a small plate with sliced carrots, raisins, and cream. It was super weird and not my thing. I don't like carrots though. My boyfriend thought it tasted like cake frosting.

Very delicious and the mole negro got my partner addicted to mole The chicken was rolled which was an interesting presentation You also get a bread basket with a delicious dipping sauce and butter Decor was classy. I enjoyed sitting in the courtyard to eat. There were plants everywhere and birds too. Beware of the mosquitos! Some minor issues: - The cocktails were very weak! I would probably avoid these here (overly sweet and little alcohol) - Sometimes the service was a bit slow. It took over 20 minutes to get the check and we asked twice for it. I don't really fault since it was a busy night with large parties. We just chatted while we waited and eventually had to find a staff member to get our check
