Zandunga comenzó en la barra de la cocina, en la sala, el comedor o en el patio, donde la gente llegaba a disfrutar los fines de semana de garnachas y platillos elaborados por Aurora Toledo. En 2002 abrió formalmente sus puertas como restaurante. Hoy en día cuanta con dos restaurantes Zandunga Sabor Istmeño y La Zandunguera donde su compromiso es otorgar a la gastronomía istmeña el lugar que se merece; una de las mejores cocinas del estado de Oaxaca. El patio principal es acogedor, los salones son especiales para momentos inolvidables y la Mezcaleria es una de las mejores selecciones de mezcales de la ciudad

    Di 4 estrellas porque manejando la reservacion con Vds. era muy complicada. El numero de telefono no funciono. La senorita que recibe los clientes a la entrada nos dijo que hay que usar Open Table. Entonces fui a Open Table y hize mi reservacion, recibi mi confirmacion en correo y cunado llegamos el siguiente dia al restaurante, mi reservacion no estaba registrado con Vds. (la senorita en la entrada). Yo la ensene mi confirmacion, esperamos en la puerta de entrada, ella corriendo por aqui y por aca, hablando con otros. Al fin acepto nuestro reservacion. Era demasiado stress en fin para disfrutar su lugar. Entonces 4 estrellas y eso era liberal

    Para mí el mejor restaurante de Oaxaca, yo vengo a esta hermosa Ciudad de 3 a 4 días al mes y siempre vengo a comer o cenar aquí. Mi sugerencia de primer tiempo, la tlayuda con costilla y si eres de buen comer pide el cochito horneado, no te vas a arrepentir. El servicio es bueno y una felicitación a Erick el Gerente del restaurante siempre viendo que todo marque excelente.

    The entire evening was wonderful from start to finish. But Eduardo, our server, stood out particularly. He was attentive, friendly and seemed genuinely pleased to be working there and serving us. He made an excellent dining experience all the better!

    I am totally baffled as to why this restaurant has a Michelin star. Paper napkins? This was a completely average meal.
