"Flor Heras is a third-generation chocolatier and co-owner of Rito Chocolateria, the shop and chocolate company her family founded years ago. Today, Heras is pushing her art even further with Reina Negra, a new sub-brand of obsessively sourced bean-to-bar chocolate that you can sample and purchase at the Rito storefront. Situated across from one of the busiest markets in town, the shop sells packaged chocolate as well as agua de chocolate, fruit-filled pastries, and other ready-to-eat treats. It’s also where Heras holds small workshops where visitors can learn everything about chocolate, from the raw ingredients to the process to its history and cultural significance to the Oaxacan people.

"A cacao-focused chocolate shop run by a third-generation chocolatier that ferments, roasts, and processes beans in the traditional way from start to finish, producing rich hot (or cold) chocolates, an exceptional chocolate ice cream, and packaged cacao products like bars and jarred moles to take home. The experience emphasizes ancestral chocolate-making techniques and offers deeply flavorful, terroir-driven cacao products." - María Ítaka

The best chocolate experience in Oaxaca — no exaggeration. Their chocolate ice cream is a must have. It’s rich, dense, and almost brownie-like in texture. It tastes like pure, real cacao rather than something overly sweet. If you only have time for one chocolate shop in Oaxaca, make it this one.

Such a wonderful experience here - not just the hot chocolate which was so delicious but also talking with the owner, who gave detailed explanations of the type of cacao and mixes and how they make them. So refreshing to see someone so passionate about the work they do and it showed in the quality of the product! The ice cream was also heavenly.

The most delicious chocolate ice cream I've ever had 🤎 I love chocolate, but I've never been a huge fan of chocolate flavored ice cream. Turns out I just had never had a good one! It came served on the cutest cup, but you can also get a cone. It's a very deep chocolate flavor that's not overly sweet, and the cocoa nibs inside provide a nice crunch. Truly loved it. Bought some chocolate discs for making chocolate drinks at home and a bar with pataxtle pieces. Can't wait to try them!

This is the best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever eaten. And I’ve eaten a lot of chocolate ice cream.

Perhaps the best hot chocolate you’ll have.

I bought an iced chocolate and a portion of chocolate ice-cream. The seller, like every good salesman, praised his products and said they're the best in Mexico, which, of course, I took with a grain of salt. The drink was nothing to write home about but that ice-cream was probably the best chocolate ice-cream I had in my life - rich in flavour and not overly sweet. The addition of cacao nibs creates a nice sensation to otherwise boring texture. Highly recommended.
