Guzina Oaxaca

This place was pretty busy on a Sunday morning. You walk in and the first thing you see is fresh tortillas on a comal. Everything we ordered tasted great—good flavor without being overly salty. The mole negro was especially good.

A cool fairly large restaurant with a front patio that serves creative Mexican food with impeccable service. The salsa was made at our table was the highlight - spectacular, maybe the best I have ever eaten. The tomato soup was also just perfect. Highly recommended!!

This review is about my experience last night, not the food, though it was good. I was having issues paying with my credit card despite trying tap, insert, and swipe. Each attempt involved staff manually inputting the bill and tip%. Two waiters and then the owners all tried to process it. I'd asked for a 10% tip, but during one try, 15% was selected, which I hope was an honest mistake on their part. The whole situation was quite embarrassing, especially being surrounded by staff. I ended up calling my credit card company to resolve it. While I was on the phone, another family, in a truly heartwarming gesture, noticed my situation and offered to pay my bill ♥️ (thank you!! I wish all the best to you and your family). The owner allowed them to pay while I was still on the phone! I'm incredibly thankful for the kindness of that family. However, I felt the owner's action were inappropriate, almost as if they prioritized getting the money immediately. It would have been far more kind if they had waited for me to finish my call, as my card was ultimately unlocked and I could have paid myself.

Came for dinner on a Saturday night with a reservation. Got seated quickly in the upstairs area. We ordered drinks first and they got my order wrong - probably misheard me when I said the Herbal Gin & tonic and brought some blue Malibu concoction. The table side salsa was great and we liked our taco appetizers. However, they never came back to ask for another drink order which wasn’t great. The pacing was also off, which is a big pet peeve of mine. The entree arrived before we were even done eating apps. We got the duck to share, which was overcooked and the skin was rubbery. We wanted to love the experience and while the lengua tacos were great, we would not come back.

Beautiful space, great service, great food. The mole negro was amazing, as was the salsa marital. For the experience we had the price was amazing.

Grilled octopus (3/5): octopus was tender, but overall the dish was really sweet with the sweet potato and the sauce they poured on top. Zucchini flowers (3/5): tasted more sweet than savory to my surprise Guacamole with grasshoppers (2/5): guacamole was fine, grasshoppers were really salty and not crunchy at all Pulque (3/5): not what I expected - I think this is their take on pulque. It was also really strong. Coconut mocktail (4/5) - it was delicious and refreshing Ice cream (5/5) - more like sorbet, it was really good

Rene was just the best. Very attentive, but not overdone along with the rest of the wonderful staff. They made my birthday and our anniversary very special and we would come back anytime. The chocolate Mole is the best I’ve ever tasted.

This has got to be the best meal we had in Mexico City. Every dish was a gastronomic fiesta! We tried the duck tacos, shrimp salad and fish of the day. Sounds simple, but the taste of each dish was exquisite. A must try when in Polanca!

Creative cocktails served in a mini gas can that was actually pottery. Grasshopper infused appetizers and table side homemade salsa were fantastic. The octopus and snapper main courses were excellent. Service was friendly and we didn't have to wait for a table even without a reservation.

Had a great meal at this location . The restaurant has various seating options ... upstairs , main level or outdoor seating. It has a quiet vibe modern decor and full bar. We opted to start with the suckling pig Taquitos which were prepared simply on small corn tortillas with guacamole with radish and chicarone finish. The other app we opted for was the special tamale with sweet corn huatalcoche. This was very very good the masa perfectly prepared and flavored . The restaurant also offered table salsa included in the meal with baked corn and blue corn tortillas. The salsa was delicious and you can choose your level of heat. All fresh prepared ingredients. For the meal because of my love of mole we opted for the duck and red mole tamales. These were so tasty and was served with extra mole which very savory. The waitstaff was highly responsive and accommodating. We had two cocktails which were reasonably priced . One margarita (no salt) which I prefer . The only issue was it was so sickening sweet. This place is a solid choice for Oaxacan Mexican cuisine. This might not be everyone's taste. The menu is on the smaller side but everything is done well. 2300.00 Mexican pesos all in with gratuity.

Our first meal in Mexico City was here, and there were no regrets! Our favorite dish was the Suckling Pig Tacos. Super tender and flavorful! 10/10, would recommend: P.S. don't forget to order salsa, they make it in front of you. Amazing.

Muy rica la comida! El lugar es bonito, tiene un espacio al aire libre muy agusto en donde puedes ver a la gente caminando

It's got to be about the food, experience and the service and this place is all that! Food is just so delicious and the service is so attentive. We ordered the pork tacos, beef tongue, beet salad and rib-eye. They were all phenomenal! The home made fresh salsa is next level and it's full of flavor! If you are in MC, do not miss this gem of a place! P.S the restaurant manager, Victor, is the best! Thank you for this incredible experience. We can not wait to be back!

We 4 started with a tasty mezcal and had an absolutely fabulous meal of Oaxaca specialities. I had sea bass with green mole- delicious. The restaurant was quiet ona Wednesday and the service gracious

Delicious food. Tlayuda was amazing, highly recommended. Very filling, probably one of these should be enough for a meal. The mole was the best I ever had. Can't wait to be back! Tamarindo margarita was great.

We were excited to try this restaurant since we'd heard so much good stuff about food in Oaxaca. The restaurant was pretty empty, on a rainy night. We had made reservations and were seated promptly. We started off with a couple of mezcalitas which were absolutely delicious and in my opinion much better than traditional margaritas. We decided to go for the Oaxacan appetizer board. At the recommendation of our server we got half a board for three people and it was plenty of food! The items on the board were ok but there was definitely too much cheese. The chapulines were a nice crunchy addition. We also got the duck tamales which were too dry and dense, as well as a chicken entree with mole which was delicious. We got to try a pretty good Mexican red wine and for dessert we had the chocolate cake which was great. Service was very attentive.

Awesome mole negro and delicious tazajo. Location and premises quaint and inviting .........

We had an excellent time at Guzina Oaxaca; we tried few dishes and a couple of cocktails. We initially wanted to try the mezcal cocktails recommended by friends; we tried a couple of "Gazolinazos" they were really good... we love the presentation in a ceramic 'Gas bucket' we also liked the fact that 1 cocktail was actually 2 given that the bucket is big enough fit 2 serves. The cocktails were very unique and special, something interesting to try. We then got inspired to try some of the food, the ordered three small dishes, we liked all of the but I have an special mention to the 'tacos de cochinita' the pork was really nice and perfectly cooked and the ceviche was really authentic as well (very different to the tradicional Peruvian ceviche). Both recommended. The service was "ok" nothing really special, the restaurant is a bit pricey but location and quality are in line with prices.

Everything was good, though I can't say I was blown away by any of it. They make your salsa at the table and let you choose how spicy you want it to end up, which was cool. I'm not too big on mol negro, but ordered it anyway based on their recommendation, so maybe this one was my fault.

Not 5 stars...more like 10 stars! I was introduced to this place on a CDMX walking tour. However, it was so damn good I had to come back for seconds the same day. The food is not your typical Mexican food that Americans are used to. Oaxacan cuisine is so unique and distinct that my words won't do it justice. The service is top-of-the-line and everything I had here was incredible (try the duck tamales!).

In a Mexico City neighborhood (Polanco), Guzina Oaxaca was well recommended by our friends because the owner is Oaxacan and also owns a restaurant and hotel in Oaxaca. Chef Alejandro Ruíz serves authentic Oaxacan plates in his outpost in Mexico City and we were super elated to try his cooking. Twice a week, a truck makes the six-hour drive from the southern region to Mexico City to deliver dozens of ingredients. "We bring everything from hierba de conejo, chepiche, tlayudas, chocolate -- everything is made from Oaxacan ingredients," Mr. Ruíz said. "And more than just Oaxaca, from the regions of Oaxaca, where people still preserve traditional recipes." With that, we were treated to an amazing runway of dishes, never before experienced and more than umteenth times to be revisited. The warmth and hospitality at Guzina Oaxaca was insane--- where our waiters were seriously concerned that the kitchen did things right for us from the amazing moles to tlayudas (bitesized ), chapulines, (grasshoppers), greens, chiles and even the more pervasive art of making the salsa Oaxaqueña tableside and to taste: mild, spicy, Mexican spicy. We picked the Mexican spicy of course. I loved the people who work here. And dear God, thank you for introducing us to this glorious table of culinary tastes, traditions and history. Not once did I hope I would experience Oaxaca in Mexico City and Guzina, a surprise find, delivered one of the most intriguing and delicious meals I've ever had. At the end of the dine, as though you couldn't possibly eat another bite, a tray of handmade Oaxacan house made chocolate bites (dark, unrefined, raw & sexy hot) was offered with warm smiles on our way out--- sealing the memory of a glorious meal to be repeated often.

We've been eating street food for our entire trip so my boyfriend planned a surprise date for our last night- it was an even bigger surprise that we were going to eat Oaxacan food! He made reservations via their website ahead of time, so make sure to do that. One thing we were shocked about was the price of our meal- with two drinks, two entrees and an appetizer (homemade salsa was on the house), we think our meal in the states would've been at least $120, but probably more. Our meal was about $50, which added to the positive experience. We got two mezcalinis, tamarindo y jamaica, both were delicious. We ordered the ceviche de pescado, which was extremely fresh, flavored so well with fruit and lime juice. The mole negro con pechuga de guajolote could've been better if the turkey wasn't so dry. The mole and wild rice was combo was delicious! Our favorite dish of the night was the pulpo zarandeado, it was very large pieces of very tender octopus that were flavored extremely well, and complimented with Mexican rice and creamy avocado. It's been two days and I'm still thinking about the flavors of the dish. The waiters were very friendly, making up laugh all night and we left the restaurant with a little jelly candy- tasted like tamarind!

I just can't stop coming here. Love this place! Low key Oaxaca food spot with very affordable prices. Love their mezcalinas, I'm obsessed with them. Tried the passion fruit and cucumber one and totally recommend them. I've had numerous meals here but would highlight the tlayuda (chorizo was delicious), the chicken mole and the pan de elote for dessert.

Better than Pujol. Bold claim, I know. But since my friends and I had similar dishes in both -- the mole, the octopus, the tortillas -- I can tell you that their version here is superior. Everything we had from the lengua (tongue) tacos to the tomato salad was excellently prepared. The service was also top notch with table-side salsa preparation and the host perfectly attentive. It's also a beautiful space but a wee draft-y (some of us kept our coats on a January visit). If you're in Mexico City, highly recommend you go here!

My bf wanted Oaxacan food but couldn't make it so we decided the next best thing was to find it in Mexico City. Came across this restaurant on eater.com. Every bite was good. We had: Tlayuda tradicional- think crispy quesadilla except Oaxacan. not much of a description but it's the closest comparison I can't think of. Cheese and mole onions and lettuce on the inside with a side of chorizo and grilled beef. Jitomates de riñon rostizados- baked tomato, with cheese balls topped with ground grasshopper paste. Fresh produce, it was a transition to our next meal. Certido ConfItado- softest suckling pig I've ever had. The sauce it came with complemented the dish. Definitely a must try.

This is probably the most underrated restaurant in Mexico City. Oaxacan food is my favorite Mexican cuisine and a friend from school recommended this place. The location is ideal, in the heart of Polanco. They also take reservations, which was great. We walked in and were seated promptly. Service in DF is impeccable but they really take it to the next level. They make the salsa in front of you to your preference, which was a treat. I don't remember everything we had but I know we had a tuna appetizer and amazing mole enchiladas for the main course. My friend also loved their drinks! You must try their mole negro - it's the traditional Oaxacan dish. It has a chocolate taste and is beyond delicious! I went several times and I definitely recommend!

This is a famous Oaxacan cuisine restaurant. The moles are what we had here. The style from that region is interesting and really enjoyed the peppers and the many different moles on our large tortilla quesadilla style entree. The place could be passed by as the street is busy and fancy and this has a quiet dark sign but inside is super fine and light. Service was perfect.

Items Selected: Americano Café de Olla Carrot Bread with Pomegranate Marmalade French Toast with Guava Oaxaca Salsa Mole Tamale with Chicken, Bean Tamale with Hoja Santa, Yellow Tamale with Chicken Huitlacoche Omelet with Avocado Side of Black Beans Made to Order Tortillas Tlayuda Tradicional with Tasajo and Radish Salad Unable to carve out a trip to Oaxaca on this trip, the sites to be seen and foods to eat in Mexico City far too tempting for a first timer, it was via Uber that the early Wednesday trip was made from Condesa to Polanco for breakfast, the morning menu at Guzina Oaxaca almost as tempting as that at dinner with the restaurant itself brightly lit and doors flung open to the early Spring weather. Open at eight o'clock in the morning daily, Chef Alejandro Ruiz trimming down his famous Casa Oaxaca el Restaurante to bring a taste of the region to the Capital's most well-to-do neighborhood, those arriving at Guzina Oaxaca before noon can expect the restaurant to be fairly empty as staff members spend time attending to daily tasks such as folding napkins and completing order sheets while still offering the same sort of attentive service found at nearby El Bajio, the offer even made to offer some afternoon items just a few minutes after unlocking the front door, though in the end this would prove unnecessary given the breadth of interesting breakfast options. Focused on Organic products and scratch cooking, the 'local farm to table' ideals of many new American restaurants seemingly old-hat throughout Mexico, it was with seats offered 'anywhere you like' that a two top was selected in view of the bar as well as a woman at the window hand-forming Tamales as well as fresh Tortillas, a bold Americano plus another gritty Café de Olla poured with the former complimented by free refills, the first of those presented along with complimentary housemade Bread featuring ground Carrots and a hefty spice profile alongside Jam made of Pomegranate. Offering Cocktails even at this early hour, the Mezcal list particularly sizable, it was with light music chiming overhead that an order of four items was requested despite server's warning that this was potentially 'too much' food, the total bill of just over $32USD all-inclusive once again deceiving as the portions are indeed quite large, the French Toast featuring two big slices garnished with a Flower and Guava puree originally feared to be under-dressed, but in fact just right due to the sweetness infused to a center that eats like pudding. Brought a collection of condiments to supplement the entrees, a stone bowl of smoky Salsa presented alongside steamy Corn Tortillas and room-temperature Black Beans with a hint of Citrus, Green Onion and Cilantro, it was after no more than fifteen minutes that the rest of the order was presented in an array that quickly overwhelmed the two-top, the Omelet folded around Huitlacoche and a touch of white Cheese immediately noted by its smell and absolutely delicious as the "Mexican Truffle" added sweetness and a complex nutty flavor to the three farm-Eggs cooked firm on the outside, but creamy within. Unable to pass-up fresh Tamales, the waiter telling us that two Chefs arrive *early* each day to have them ready for breakfast, it was with leaves and husks unfolded that three tight packages revealed their contents, the Corn flavored by Avocado Leaves and diced Chicken probably the most 'standard' of the group while the Black Beans in Sacred Leaf with fiery Red Sauce and version laced with Mole were both exceptional, the later even served with a sidecar of extra Mole that was liberally added to the Tortillas plus vegetables served alongside the Omelet. Unfamiliar with the term Tasajo, a sliced and grilled style of Beef not dissimilar to Bacon in terms of its preparation and service as a Breakfast Meat, it was on the recommendation of the staff that a Tlayuda Tradicional accompanied by spicy Radish Salad was ordered as an example of a 'typical' Oaxacan breakfast, the crisp Tortilla layered with Refried Beans and Cheese anything but run-of-the-mill whether by itself or eaten with tender Meat and Salsa on top, definitely a dish worth searching out whether here or at one of the many street carts...though this one comes with comfortable seats, great service and a complimentary Chocolate for only a few Pesos extra.

The only change I would have made to my lunch here is to reserve a table at 2:30, not 1:30, so there was more of a buzz when we arrived and started dining. It's a lovely, inviting, open, warm space, with friendly and attentive service (a couple of the managers spoke English fluently, the rest of the wait staff predominantly speak Spanish). We thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary salsa made to each table's taste. Given that some of our fellow diners don't love the spice, we had a mild salsa without too much cilantro, served with the homemade baked tortillas, both blue corn and the denser and in my opinion, more flavorful flour tortillas. Since we inhaled our first salsa, we were quickly given a second, albeit a much spicier one. We tried the sampler of Oaxacan specialty bites, which was quite delicious and fully able to serve 4 to 6, even though it's listed as being for 2 people. It includes lightly spiced and delightfully crispy fried grasshoppers, beef jerky, tender short ribs, meat-stuffed chile relleno, chicharron, toasted masa cakes (memelas) topped with mole, queso fresco, quesillo (Oaxacan sting cheese with a banana-ey flavor), a quesillo quesadilla, and guacamole. The meat and cheeses shine the most when wrapped in the housemade tortillas. The grasshoppers, chile relleno, and cheese were the standouts to me. We were happy with the braised beef with the sweet pineapple mole, though the standouts were the tuna tostada (tangy, fresh tuna, chock full of flavor, and atop crispy tortillas), and the lusciously tender lengua with a scrumptious tomato-based mole sauce, served over rice. We were just perfectly stuffed by all this. This was one of the standout lunches we had in CDMX!

Great Food the chicken with mole was the best!! Service was great the manager Ernesto was top notch.

This was my first time trying Oaxacan cuisine and I must say that Guzina Oaxaca just inspired me to plan a trip to Oaxaca. The place was nice and cozy, with only 4 tables on the second floor. So make sure to make a reservation before heading there. The staff was very friendly, helpful by making recommendations and attentive because our glasses were never empty. I definitely would recommend trying the Flor de Calabaza as an appetizer since it has a unique sweet and savory flavor. The octopus was very good as well but make sure to leave room for dessert because the Pastel de Elote is amazing and is served with a side of rose petal sorbet. Pair it with a Cafe de Olla and you're good to go.

This is, HANDS DOWN, my favorite restaurant in Mexico City. Given that it is of Oaxacan influence, I am sure it doesn't accurately represent the culinary aspects or greatness that Mexico City has to offer... but I don't care. It's amazing. They have the traditional table side salsa making, where they present the ingredients and ask you what level of spice you prefer... and they then proceed throw it all in the molcajete to make it fresh. My favorite dish is their mole with turkey and plantains... but I don't think I have had anything that I disliked. They use to have a marzapan martini that was my favorite drink... but their selection of Mezcal and other cocktails are JUST as good. Service is immaculate. Which makes everything all the better. GO HERE GO HERE GO HERE.

Wonder food service and atmosphere- I live in Virginia, so it was a real treat to enjoy this genuinely Mexico food. I work colleague suggested the restaurant when I told him I enjoyed mole...and served over braised short ribs it did not disappoint. I also enjoyed the olive infused salsa and the corn-based custard for pudding.

A rich experience tasting the oaxacacan cuisine . Amazing moles with subtle twists in presentation and protein coupling. Wonderfully warm service.

Enjoyed a delicious dinner here while visiting CDMX. The menu is fairly simple, but has a nice selection of taco/taquito appetizers, then fish or meat entrees. The cocktail menu is excellent and the drinks are large portions - we each had one that lasted for the entire meal. I also loved that they make salsa fresh to order at your table to start the meal, which was not an additional charge. Service was attentive and I enjoyed the ambiance as well.

Superb Mexican food. Beef tongue tacos were possibly the best tacos I've had in my life (I lived in Texas and California). Octopus and Mexican rice entree was delicious and tender. Highly recommend. Also, their cocktails and strong, so watch out if you plan on going to the art museum afterwards. Maybe museum first and eat. I'm not complaining! Service was good but some room for improvement. I still don't mind, food was so good I would come back.

Amazing customer service! Food was excellent! We came in for a quick bite to eat and we ended up ordering more! Kid friendly and the staff was beyond accommodating. Definitely need to try the memelitas and the tacos cecina! They recently renovated, the restaurant is clean, authentic and welcoming. Happy belly over here

This is a solid "okay" place. I went for breakfast based on Yelp reviews for decent Mexican places in Polanco. Nothing wrong with it, just okay. It seems like a place many tour guides bring their groups for "Mexican" food. The restauranteur spoke English and greeted us in English as obvious foreigners. They got one of our orders wrong but fixed it ASAP. If you have time to explore other neighborhoods, I highly advise you check out more exciting places first. Otherwise, food is okay and prices are decent.

In my final evening in Mexico City I got lucky to get a seat at this restaurant. There is sometimes you have good food at a great restaurant, but sometimes you eat food made by impeccable precision. The food in this restaurant was beyond what I was expecting. The food aroused emotions in my mind and I cannot tell you how special the salsa was. Wine was great, but I wish there were more wine by glass option. Service was great and we got appropriate attention.

Wow, wow, wow, holy wow. This place is great. We were all over the menu and everything was super. Mole was best ever. Really pleased and great service!

One of my favorite meals in Mexico City. We ordered way too much food, but much of it was delicious. The salsa, made in front of us, was complex and flavorful. The standout dish was the Oaxacan specialty bites (especially the grasshoppers and the queso fresco) and the lengua with mole sauce. When you're there, you feel like you're in someone's comfortable sunroom or living room. I'd love to go back.

I was brought here following the recommendation of a Mexican friend who described the restaurant's food as contemporary Mexican cuisine. After making a reservation in advance, I showed up at the restaurant and the waiter gently guided me to the table. I am not sure if it was result of the weather (it was raining) or the restriction of shops for not selling alcohol (Mexicans are voting the next day), but it was quite empty by 9 pm. The waiter explained that the chef is considered to be one of the best in Mexico and his idea is to preserve the food culture of Oaxaca region by using traditional ingredients that are still produced by local farmers, but giving a contemporary touch to the dishes. All well explained and once orders were made, the waiters prepared a salsa with the fresh ingredients right next to the table. The dishes came in the right timing and the attentive waiter wanted to make sure if everything was under what was expected. I ordered Chichilo Negro as main dish, which is a beef steak that comes with a dark thick chili based sauce that was something that looked liked chocolate and tasted like gravy. Very very delicious! It was surely a nice experience in terms of service, taste and it is way different from the other Mexican food I have tried. Location wise, Polanco neighborhood is where the fancy and high-end shops are located (fashion, cars, furniture). So as a consequence, it is reflected in the price. Do not expect to have cheap Mexican food here.

First meal in CDMX, what a great introduction to Oaxaca cuisine! Really opened our eyes! You can taste the difference in the ingredients they use! Best tortillas and mole we have had so far... and that's after eating at Quintonil and many other highly rated restaurants. The service is impeccable, they go out of their way to make sure you are enjoying everything. Definitely a must on your trip to CDMX!

Horrible service and food!!!! I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone!!! We waited 1.5 hours for our food and there were only two other tables with people in the restaurant! The food came and every plate was cold. We sent it back and they brought cheese quesadillas to the table. We were offended that they did that because this restaurant is not a street taqueria! We got up and left. Do not eat here. Even the manager didn't care.

Súper cute place with amazing service. The food was very good and I would be happy to go back and try different things as I came here for breakfast/brunch.

I had the mole negro, the taste of the mole itself was tolerable. But the turkey served with it was dry and without any flavor. Now the salsa they make for you at the table it's exceptional, tostadas served with it not so much. Again no flavor or salt on them. The drinks were. It well balanced all you tasted was the mezcal and not the tamarindo, big disappointment. For the price you expect better quality of food.

Wonderful flavors. Had the beef tail. Subtle layered flavors. Hearty and light at the same time. Duck tacitos. Rich slightly bitter sweet mole. Excellent service. To order salsa. Yum.

A real Oaxacan find in Polanco. I am down in CDMX monthly on business and have had this spot on my radar and finally made it. So glad I did. Unbelievable homemade tortillas, table side Oaxacan salsa, and mole to die for. A fun, friendly spot with great service.

The ambience is very comfortable. The service is really good from all the staff. Food is great and potions are fair. The taste from everything was as expected, it brought memories from Oaxaca. The Botana Oaxaqueña is a good option as starter. You should also try a Mezcal (not for lunch time if you are going back to work). Prices are ok, considering that it's a restaurants located at Polanco. The only reason I didn't rate with 5 stars is because I was looking for more traditional dishes (nieve de leche quemada, tasajo, etc)

What a delightful place!! We came here for dinner tonight and I was really wowed. Right away, I had a favorable impression. The service was welcoming. The place smells great. The dining room is casual, warm, and inviting. There is a lady making fresh tortillas in the front. The food is simple, fresh, and delicious. A cook came and made salsa tableside and gave us a running narrative. The same cook came back with a tray of ingredients, described them, and let us smell them and touch them. The food was very fresh and tasty. We had tacos, a sampler platter, and a very creative raw ahi dish. We had rice pudding for dessert. All very tasty. We enjoyed the atmosphere so much that we lingered. The manager came and visited with us before we left. A very personal touch. Overall a top notch experience! I will definitely be back.

It is understandable for someone to make a mistake, but not so many. Also the wait time to be served was horryfing. My experience was completely ruined and I even got mad (unfortunately). Too bad because the food was tasty.

Great experience! The waiter comes by to show you the ingredients for your salsa and makes them in a molcajete. The meals are explained and the mezcal choices aren't bad. We've tried the gazolinazos, a mezcal drink brought in a small gas refill container. The Oaxacan appetizer plate had a chile relleno that had us wanting more. Must try the mole, I could not get enough. Tortillas are handmade there too and the chocolate is made with water, as they do in Oaxaca. Enjoyed several meals there.

We came here as part of a food tour and had their salsa (which was fantastic) and something that is kind of like a sope (also very good). So we decided to come back another day for dinner. We ordered a couple of appetizers which were not that great. We did have the agua chile with tuna, and I thought it was exceptional -- one of the best things we had in CDMX during our week long stay. Our fish entree was also only OK -- low in flavor and kind of over cooked.

Outstanding food and great service. I would highly recommend the mole dishes which were very unique. The maitre 'd Victor was wonderful.

The food was wonderful and the staff was very friendly and suggested amazing drink and entrée. Will definitely be back.
