Sanzin - Review - Centro - Oaxaca - The Infatuation

"Chapulines and karaage don’t usually end up on the same plate, but here, the union somehow works. This small but mighty restaurant draws us in with its refreshing use of Oaxacan ingredients and traditional preparations paired with Japanese techniques. The result is an out-of-the-box menu that Oaxaca has never seen before. There’s tamamiso with mole, soba noodles made from local wheat, tender tasajo skewers, and a cooling finale in the form of bright, seasonal fruit nieves, like matcha and prickly pear. The cherry on top at this lunch-only spot is the affordable prices and low-key atmosphere." - Mariana Camacho
