Casa Oaxaca el Restaurante

I really wanted to love this place, but had a very mixed experience. The table side salsa is a treat, but it did not taste nearly as good as it looked. The ricotta filled squash blossoms were lovely and surprisingly good. I would recommend them. For my main I had the dry noodles and it was sadly underwhelming. I might come back to try their desserts, but I am wary overall. Also worth noting that the rooftop dining provides an amazing view of Santo Domingo and for that alone is worth coming here.

Interesting culinary experience. Beautiful presentation. We all appetizers on the menu to explore, all of them very unique, so much flavor!! Impressed by this Chef. They are big sized appetizers tho! The mole “mancha manteles “ was an explosion of flavors. The main dishes we tried are in the pictures. Well done ???????? . The service was excellent. Servers were very very very friendly. Place nicely decorated.

The food was great but compared to everything else we ate in Oaxaca, it did not live up to the hype. Dinner reservations are filled way in advance so it’s best to grab lunch. Impeccable service. Food wise I actually thought the best part of the meal was the freshly made salsa they prepare at your table. We had the insect plate with ants, larvae, and grasshoppers which is quite interesting. Lamb dish was good. The roast pork dish had a sour olive flavor that I didn’t quite understand. The interior and decor were excellent. Overall worth a visit but underwhelming.

This place was really good, a bit pricey but their dishes are really great. The salsa made right next to your table was a great experience and it came out really good. I definitely must comeback and try other dishes from their menu.

This was the best meal in Oaxaca. We sat on the rooftop terrace overlooking the Santo Domingo and the ambience was lovely. We ended up getting in without a reservation by showing up around 5:30pm on a Sunday. They weren't serving alcohol that day, not sure if it's common or due to the fact that there was an election in the city that particular day. All the food was very flavorful and the chef managed to make an elevated taco that was worth spending more than on the street. The best part of the meal for me was the dessert. There was the most incredible chocolate mousse ball that still can't stop thinking about. The mamey dish was also a really nice way to enjoy this unique fruit. I come from Canada and the price of the meal was a fraction of what you would pay back home for the same quality and experience. A top recommendation if you are visiting Oaxaca.

One of the best fish dishes I've ever had! I ordered the fish of the day which was Mahi Mahi. Absolutely amazing. The service was top notch. Definitely get a table on the upstairs terrace instead of downstairs. The atmosphere upstairs and beautiful and calm.

They also do table-side salsa. It was a great experience and a fantastic restaurant in Oaxaca.

When you arrive (I recommend getting a reservation) you receive a little paper container for your mask. At least I think that's what it was for haha!

Amazing place. Amazing Friendly service, very professional from Alex, and Cesar. Incredibly tasty food, cocktails, and desert. Lovely atmosphere. The food is also an experience where they prepare sauces in front of you and the way they serve cocktails.

impeccable presentación of the food.

All local products and ingredients. Try the mezcal cocktails and the mole

Just a perfect meal from start to finish. Highly recommended
