Zandunga Sabor Istmeño

My favorite finer dining experience in Oaxaca Centro. I've been here 6+ times in the last year and I come here for the best craft cocktails and calming atmosphere when I'm in town. The staff is the sweetest and extremely knowledgeable on the local ingredients. Very chic decor, a must visit!

Food was fine although we expected much better reading from reviews. The place is nice but the atmosphere is “heavy” , not relaxed at all. Service was so so, we had to ask for silverware but they didn t bring. They were removing plates and glasses while we were still eating. Stressful

Came here for my partners 40th birthday. She ordered the roast pig, it was excellent! The cocktails were also very tasty. I took one star off for the platter. It just tasted like reheated samples. Not great at all, average at best. Cheese balls, rubbery and cold. The problem was after we were done eating…our server disappeared. We wanted more cocktails. We also wanted a dessert. No one came to our table….we were literally forgotten. Not only that, after 20 min, they cleared our table as though they needed it for another reservation. It literally wrecked our night out here. I mentioned this to the lady when paying the 1000p…she showed she did not care! Will we be back…no.

Food and drinks was among the best we had in Oaxaca. Service was good and the ambiance is excellent. We loved the tamales in mole sauce and the salad was great too.

AMAZING! We highly recommend the Cochito Horneado, it was the best dish we have had so far during our Mexico Vacation. Super friendly staff and beautiful atmosphere!

Really delicious dinner. I ordered one local speciality with mole necro. The service is very friendly and we had actually no waiting time. The ambiente was great as well. Everything was clean.

This is the best food we had after a week a Mexico! The food is so fresh and so tasty!! No salt or sauce needed, the fresh ingredients are enough! Love it
