I’d never had Oaxacan food before — it was very good and the service was great. Not everyone in the party liked mole, but almost everyone found something they liked — even the kids. I will definitely return. To try another dish.Is this helpful?

I was looking for something cultural and delicious, and I’m always hesitant to choose a Mexican restaurant because nothing ever tastes authentic—but this place really hit the spot. It was amazing! The live music was the cherry on top. The food was incredible—the café de olla was perfect, the mole was outstanding, and the homemade tortillas made me feel like I had traveled to Mexico. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be that the champurrado tasted a bit watered down. But they did mention it was dairy-free, so I understand. I really hope they keep the live music because it made the ambience so much better. I totally recommend this place!Is this helpful?
