El Tendajon

The most expensive, yet the most disappointing dining experience in Oaxaca. Ceviche De Pescado - the flavor was lime with little else. Papas Tendalove - undercooked quarters of potatoes. They were not sautéed or fried, just boiled (not for long enough tho). Tacos Bajaoax - very very bland. Barely felt the fish taste, it was full of carrots. Pesto pasta - okay, but bland and not worth the money. Day after eating here extreme gastrointestinal distress began… Service was fine, waiter was kind.

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!

Carefully prepared, locally produced food in a relaxed, friendly restaurant and bar. The guacamole (con chapulines!) and the carnitas de pulpos were top-notch. Service was warm and attentive, and I will return here again to try some of the other dishes!

The restaurant is incorrectly labeled in terms of pricing on Google — a budget of 200–300 MXN is not enough for a full meal. While the dishes are beautifully plated, the food is definitely overpriced for what you get. The staff is friendly and attentive, but it’s hard to justify paying 195 MXN for a single taco. It makes me wonder how locals can afford to dine at places like this regularly.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Great prices and AMAZING FOOD. I had the pork rib with mole and risotto and it was totally worth it.

Very good service and affordable! Food is delicious you have to try the pancakes with bacon !

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.

Excellent food and drink. Highly recommend quality, fresh and delicious. better than some suuuper expensive meals we had.
