    Lo mejor de Oaxaca. Todo esta delicioso. Pedimos el Ceviche Molcajeteado, los Camarones en Coloradito y el Amarillo de Pulpo. Los postres deliciosos (nos regalaron uno por el cumpleaños de mi pareja). Todo increible - 10/10

    This was so fantastic. The insect tostadas were so delicious. Sounds scary but it must be done. The presentation makes you instantly comfortable…you can’t see a thing😁

    Food was served cold/lukewarm, and the service was indifferent. Lots of flies swarming around our food. The ambience was otherwise good and the drinks were very good. Overall a sub-par experience.
