   The food was amazing so I really really recommend coming here if you want a great meal. The live music was fun, but it really made it hard to have a conversation..

   This restaurant is Amazing. I came here to celebrate my son's birthday and there were 9 of us. We got there early and were still seated right away as our tables were ready. This which was great as we didn't have to wait. The staff here are incredible, especially our waitress. The food was great and everyone loved it. The drinks were really good as well. I highly recommend it for small or large groups. I will definitely be coming back!!!

   Love the food here! We always enjoy our meals here and the drinks as well. Can be just a tad too loud in the back of the restaurant.

   I always have the mole! I also had a margarita called "La Chingona" which was very good.

   Server put me at a table that was wet, it took for ever to get a glass of water and for the waiter to come over to our table. Took a while to come out as well. Chicken tacos were dry. The drinks were good though.

    Our group of 6 all loved every appetizer and entree. Ceviche, octopus, ribs, tacos, and enchiladas were all a hit! So was the margarita "tree." We appreciate the thoughtful service and will be returning soon. I'm happy I got to introduce my friends to Ruta Oaxaca (including the toddler who enjoyed bites of almost all the meals and the sauces). I also have to mention I loved the new menu and I appreciate the gluten-free options/labels.
