I would give this place 4 stars for the food and 5 stars for the atmosphere and overall vibe :)

I ordered the green curry and honestly it did not wow me. The flavours were bland and it did not have the richness I was expecting. I feel like if the chefs cooked the veggies longer in the curry paste, it would be much better. However, it felt like the veggies were simply steamed as an afterthought.
The dessert was delicious although a tad dry.

What I LOVE about this place though is how they sell local goods to support independent artisans in oaxaca, and their amazing bookstore.
Their bookstore is also very well stocked with a wide variety of books, and also to my pleasant surprise - an amazing selection of feminist writers and activists! I also had the pleasure of discovering some poetry from local oaxacan residents as well.

This place truly does amazing food! They have great Vegan and Veggie options as well as some meat choice too. It's a great mix of flavours without being over spicy. Each meal comes with bowl of bread and bits to dip, that sauce is warm but a tasty treat. The staff are very lovely there. Top tip to wear mosquito repellent if they are fond of you. It's got beautiful plants around but they attract the mosquitoes.

Try the tacquitos!!!! These are just the most amazing dish ever. You get two taquitos with plantains and two with stewed hibiscus flowers, smothered in black bean sauce and guacamole. With cheese it’s vegetarian, without its vegan. (70 pesos) Their vegetarian menu of the day for 120 pesos is also great and includes soup, salad, entree, dessert and a drink. They also have great fresh salads. You just can’t go wrong. And there are book shops for kids and adults in the same courtyard.

It's a beautiful place, very organic, is vegan and vegeterian people, has artesian beers, smells like you're in the middle of the nature. Great service and prices.

An absolute must. La Jícara is a cultural Oaxacan spot that combines a mainly vegetarian (tasty, with a couple of meat options) restaurant with a bookstore of independent publishing houses. The venue has three additional stores: organic, crafts, and children’s bookstore.
