The 32 Best Restaurants in Oaxaca, Mexico | Eater

"In a yellow facade just blocks from the Santo Domingo cathedral, chef Andy Sanchez prepares an effortless menu of simple but sophisticated dishes that put a modern spin on Oaxacan tradition. The octopus carnitas tacos are a constant hit, as is the rotating ceviche of the week. Micheladas are made with a mix from the beloved nearby La Giralda Bar, and a robust breakfast menu includes stacks of pancakes piled with tropical fruit. [$$$]" - Omar Alonso

Came for brunch and loved it. Really great quality food, made with excellent, farm-grown produce. Portions are very generous, and even topping portions (e.g. strawberries for the pancakes) were more than I’ve ever seen anywhere else. We ended up having to take away a part of our order as it was a lot to have in one go. The outdoor patio is nice and calm, with a fountain adding to the serenity. Loved it!

Eggs Benedict was ridiculous. Just a chef trying to be fancy. There was like 1/8th of a tablespoon of Hollandaise sauce swiped across the top of the egg. (The Hollandaise Sauce is the whole point of the dish) Also it was on, like a cinnamon roll or something which is a clashing flavor. I didn't even eat the bread. Then I ordered papas because there was a picture of crispy seasoned papas on Google. But mine were undercooked, not crispy at all and no flavor, it was like if you had boiled potatoes and sprinkled it with paprika, zero flavor except an unseasoned raw potato flavor (I couldn't eat those either). Hire someone who knows how to cook to come up with a new menu. I told a local about it and they said yeah, people know their food is not good. Really annoying to spend $15 on garbage. I went and ate breakfast again at a different restaurant after that because I was so pissed off. Learn how to make food that tastes good if you're going to charge people money for it. I guarantee this star rating is massively overrated. Haven't had such a disappointing experience in a while.

A beautiful restaurant in Oaxaca’s centre. The food was delicious and so were the cocktails (I loved the oaxaquito and the mezcamoto). I shared the fish ceviche and the trilogia of quesadillas for starters, had the fettuccine with mushrooms and shrimps for a main (great smoky flavour). Unfortunately, I did not have dessert, as I was too full by that point!

This was a surprise to find the best tacos i had in the whole Oaxaca trip. We tried octopus and short rib tacos and they were juicy, they were delicious, they had the best spice level. And as a finisher churros are highly recommend!

Delicious papas w tons of garlic and grilled char flavor. The trilogia de quedadillas was great as was the ceviche. The fish tacos were OK, I’d try something else next time! Tasty local beers too.

Popular for dinner but breakfast is just as good. Prices similar to other places but bigger portions, well cooked. Yogurt with fruit was ample, with seeds and toasted nuts and some chocolate cookie type sprinkles at the bottom. We also had ranchero eggs which came with beans, cheese, avocado etc. Waiters don't do English much but there is an English menu.

Brunch in this place is very good and fulfilling. Service is very good, installations are clean, and the ambiance is nice. I just would improve the quality of the drinks, we ordered three mineral orangeades and none of them were gassy enough because they use liter bottles instead of a small 355ml one to keep it fresh. We really enjoyed the avocado egg toast and waffles. Thank you for everything!

It’s good but I think the food lacked flavor or originality for the price. The guacamole was great, though. The service was just ok

Great spot, open longer than other nearby spots. Staff was super nice. The wait was pretty long for the food. Favorite was the quesadillas trio

Chill, laidback spot. Great service. Breakfast: French Toast - 5/5 Eggs and Potatoes - 4/5 French toast is delicious. Brioche with chocolate...yes, please. Eggs were cooked perfectly, over easy...ham was sliced thin, and delicious. Potatoes were seasoned perfectly, but could have been cooked a tad bit longer. Service is great. Very nice, quiet place to come relax.

Went here for desayuno. Nice place. Food was good. My café americano sucked, quite frankly. No WiFi. With so many great options in Oaxaca I won't likely be coming back for breakfast.
