Chocolate Mayordomo

You definitely must stop here for a hot or cold cocoa drink. It has an authentic flavor and great variety of food and drinks . Affordable prices. Staff is a little bit slow but be patient.

We had an amazing Mocha coffee drink. Staff was professional and attentive. The shop has a restaurant in the back. Definitely a higher quality dining experience. We didn’t eat anything but really enjoyed the drinks, service and ambiance that this place had to offer. The staff in the kitchen made our mocha drinks with care and precision, it was amazing to watch and lovely to see the pride they take in the product they sell. The shop has free mole tastings and you can buy mole paste here to take home. This is the best place to buy mole paste if you’re traveling international since it has a label and ingredients listed.

Stop reading this and go! Delicious chocolate! And I cannot leave out Noe who took the time to answer all our questions. He is exceedingly patient, incredibly knowledgable in not just chocolate, and just unbelievably nice. If the exceptional chocolate doesn't make you want to visit, stop in anyway and Noe will likely change your opinion.

Great service! Food is amazing! Prices are a bit above the normal in this area or for the type of food. Chocomil and the hot chocolate were irresistible we had to get it. The presentation in serving it table side was a great touch!

Must try if you want to enjoy some hot chocolate. The food was also good but I preferred the hot chocolate and pastries.

Love this place. Decent food and prices. Clean and good lighting. The only problem is the high volume of the music playing. Will be great to set the music to something slow or Oaxacan music.

We had the hot chocolate with milk and the nutella crepe. Both were very good. The nutella crepe was the best we have ever had and very decadent. Staff was vey friendly too

Extremely good place for breakfast. Will come back again.

Best chocolate ever!! A must when in Oaxaca. Have a cup there and buy the chocolate tablets to take home along with the mole.

The hot chocolate was amazing with a pan dulce the next day I try the cold chocolate was so delicious the service was amazing and the location is perfect, love it

Best Chocolate besides my mom's. It just tastes so good. Try it in the morning with a Concha and believe it will make your day.

Best hot chocolate I've ever tasted, food is very good I came here for breakfast 3 times in a row before trying another place for breakfast but I'm still here on a trip got one more week so I know I'll be back. Food is good especially theyre mole negro, enchiladas de mole and tamal de mole where my favorite.

Mexico is well-known for chocolate, with the same pronunciation in Spanish. Mayordomo is one of the largest and best known brands and there are at least 8 locations in central Oaxaca. You cannot make a trip to Mexico without sampling, or rather experiencing chocolate. Each store has a busy retain counter where one can buy boxes of chocolate. There are two major types of chocolate and it is mostly in terms of how much cinnamon and proportions are in it. Regardless of detail, it is all good. There will be an eating area inside and a chocolate preparation operation going on where you can watch them mix and grind the chocolate. You can sit and simply have a cup of hot or cold chocolate, done with milk or water or a meal to eat with your chocolate. The meals are basic and good, so not complicated. Menus are in English is you look terrible confused or simple ask. Prices are very reasonable. The cost for a serving of chocolate is about 15 pesos. The exchange rate has been in the high teens to a Us dollar, so that is around the price. We have experienced exchange rates of 22 pesos = $1 and as high as 13 pesos - $1. If you do the math, you are paying around one dollar for a serving of the best chocolate you will ever have. I will mention that Mexicans are among the most hospitable and courteous peoples of the world. Being gracious and helpful are cultural strengths, making visits to the country pleasant experiences. The chocolate comes to your table in a pitcher with a staff person or waitress frothing the brew with a wooden mallet-looking device which swirls and blends your concoction and pours it into cups. It is soooo good and rich that you realize that you do not need food...in fact, the chocolate IS food. That said, you might, just might get a piece of bread or roll to sop it up. We bring back boxes of chocolate as gifts. Like little bricks, these boxes fit nicely into your check-in bags. Enjoy. A great way to rest your touring tired legs and feet. And there are bathrooms inside, also.

Good selection of food. I enjoyed the tamal de rajas del pollo. Service is great until you get your food, then you have to get the servers attention for anymore food, drink, or payment.

Excellent chocolate, very helpful staff and you can buy a lot for super cheap! For example, I bought 4 packs of chocolate and around 40 bars of mini chocolate for ~$5USD. They make pretty much free souvenirs. You can sample a small bar of chocolate when you come into the door. Plus, they make hot chocolate for you on the spot $15 Mexican Pesos. It wasn't the best hot chocolate I've had (I prefer champurrado), but it's a good souvenir stop.

Get any chocolate drink your heart desires and bring some Mexican cocoa back for your friends and family. They have tasty meals too.
