"Recommended for garnachas, the Istmo de Oaxaca snack of fried masa rounds topped with stewed meat, queso fresco, salsa, and vinegary cabbage slaw that exemplifies Istmeño flavors." - Sophie Friedman

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Struggled to find gluten free items, but the majority of the menu was gluten free here! We got 3 dishes to share, and they were all delicious. Courtyard where we ate was beautiful. The mezcal drink we had was also phenomenal. The best drink we had in Oaxaca! Would recommend!

After lots of walking, we stopped here for lunch and mezcal cocktails and were very happy with everything. The corn elote was sweet and delicate, the enchiladas con mole a great flavorful and savory pairing with that. Cocktails were also great, and what an excellent atmosphere.

If you’re looking for excellent dishes and a wonderful experience you need to check out this restaurant. The service ambience match the magnificent menu. Moreover the mix cocktails are a must try. I think the restaurant is well priced and well worth the experience.

What an amazing restaurant. This place is a wonderful example of something that I love to experienc in different places. They take Oaxacan food, a cuisine that is rich with flavor, texture and aroma but born of humble origins, and they elevate it in the context of fine dining. The result is a spectacular experience that presents all the best aspects of traditional dishes with care and respect. The embellishments are minimal and only serve to frame the food of Oaxaca and lavish upon it the same love and attention that any good food deserves. Don't miss a chance to eat here.

Food was mid compared to the other spots we’ve tried in Oaxaca so far. I do enjoy my corn & cheese tamale, but the other vegetarian options here felt limited so I had a mushroom tlayuda to supplement (large portion size!). My partner had the catch of the day which he found dry and bland. Vibes in the restaurant were nice with and the service was attentive and kind. I liked the courtyard seating and the central location of the spot. It felt like basic tourist-y food overall.

My wife and I went here on our honeymoon. The food was delicious and I especially recommend the sweet elote tamale! We did however have a horrible service experience. Our server was very sweet and “recommended” a glass of the house wine since it was our honeymoon. We had already ordered cocktails but she insisted on having us try the wine and when we said it was nice poured us glasses. Given the context it seemed the house wine was a gift from the restaurant for our honeymoon. Although we honestly didn’t want wine, we forced ourselves to finish it to show gratitude for the kind gesture. When the bill came we were shocked to see the wine on it for 390 pesos! I alerted the restaurant of the error but they said we had accepted the wine and refused to take it off. So basically we were forced to pay for wine we didn’t even want on our honeymoon! This is not the type of service you expect at a fine dining experience. It was obviously a communication error, but seeing as both my wife and I had the impression that the wine was complimentary they should have taken at least one glass off the bill. It really tainted the entire experience of dining here.

Loved the vibe at Zandunga, relaxed, welcoming, and full of Oaxacan charm. I had the ceviche and the corn tamal, and both were incredible. The ceviche was super fresh and well-balanced, and the tamal was soft, slightly sweet, and full of flavor. Definitely a place I’d come back to.
