The Best Mezcalerías in Oaxaca City | Eater

"Occupying a lively corner on the calle M. García Vigil, La Popular is, as its name suggests, quite popular. Frequented by locals and tourists alike, “La Popu,” with its ever-changing art displays, offers a fun and casual environment for an easy meal, a chela, and a tasty house mezcal. The mezcal is sourced locally and includes some nice picks from Miahuatlán (Cuixe, Tepextate, Mexicano). Another reason for a mezcalito here is what’s just across the street: the consistently delicious street food stand Empanadas Nocturnas del Carmen, which serves late-night empanadas de amarillo and memelas de queso." - Niki Nakazawa

La Popular Named correctly 100% full of locals, greats vibes, and delicious food. Services itself was calm and honestly not needed. You get a great view of the street perfect for views and conversation. The food spoke for itself. México city’s restaurant scene was quite disappointing if I’m being honest but Oaxaca absolutely smashed it out of the park on the first go. We had the Pozole (spicy chicken soup) and Caldo De Camarón (spicy shrimp soup) during a rainy day! Meal for the mood and was packed full of flavour strong 9.1/10 Paired with torta carnitas which was fantastic with the soups! The Salsas were fresh and tasty! Mojitos some of the best I’ve had on the trip so far. Really hard to find a fault in this place especially with the reasonable pricing!

We ordered the shrimp and tacos, and they were genuinely delicious. However, the ceviche was extremely disappointing — it didn’t taste like ceviche at all, and we couldn’t even eat it. What made the experience worse was that the staff showed no concern or reaction whatsoever. They simply added it to the bill without saying a word, which felt really unpleasant and unprofessional. I wouldn’t recommend trying the ceviche here at all.

It's called La Popular for a reason. Love this place and always return. Fun , noisy , non pretentious atmosphere with delicious food. Sometimes you have to wait for a table as it is tiny (you can also try La Popular Otra just up the street ). Super sweet servers.

Came during lunch time in the wet season and were seated right away. We ordered the milanesa and carne asada Torre’s and the squash blossom quesadilla. All were incredible!

Restaurant style mexican food! If you want to have good traditional food but do not want to sit on the streets, this is the place. The pozole verde had a lot of flavor and is accomplished with lots of sides. Waiters are not fast but you can enjoy the scene outside!

Food options are about common mexican dishes. Portions are small and prices are average. Not a bad place to try.

One of the best meals I've had in Mexico. Each dish ordered was delightful and they sell Pacifico beer which is always a bonus!! Staff were lovely. Food came quickly. Great art. Highly recommend
