Excellent place to enjoy typical Oaxacan dishes with an impressive homey flavor! Hand-made tortillas and freshly prepared agua fresca. Everything was top-notch. The cheese flan is a must-try! Very friendly and with excellent recommendations! We'll be back!

Excellent!!! Exquisite !!! Delicious!!! Everything is super mega recommended!!! Atmosphere, Attention, Taste, Quality and ideal temperature of the food!!! Kindness from the moment you arrive and they receive your car...you have to come check it out because it is the best place. The natural flavored waters with snow, I especially recommend the Guanabana, mango, starter zucchini soup with corn and poblano chili or bean cream with tortilla strips and pasilla chili, marrow soup. And you have to try whether or not the Oaxacan mole, the tlayudas (they are very big) the ideal is to share a basket. You will be fascinated by everything!!!! It is very worth it
