Overrated.
I came because so many food bloggers said it’s a must try, but I could have done without the perfunctory service and overpriced food.
I ordered the Oaxaca black mole tamal and it was meh. I’ve had better at random stands at mercados for 1/4 the price.
When I didn’t finish most of my food, nobody seemed to care. I ate half of the complimentary amuse bouche, since it wasn’t hood. Some sort of fish. I also only ate a few bites of my already small tamal and left 2/3 of it. It was alright, but I guess the tasteless amuse bouche and uninviting but polite service didn’t make me want to stay. I just paid my bill and left.
Is the tamal that I ordered good? It was fine. It wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t worth the price. The vibe didn’t justify the price either. I think you should go to another restaurant if you only have so many meals to be had in Oaxaca, ya know?
