Aquí, un ritmo animado acompaña la transparencia de luz que hace vibrar los colores. La sutileza de lo esencial subraya el poder evocador de los olores y sabores que surgen de la cocina de Alejandro Ruiz.

Se mezclan los aromas y los sabores de hierbas mediterráneas con las oaxaqueñas. Así, la albahaca y el romero comparten sus tintes con la hoja santa, la pitiona y el shorobobo. Asimismo, granada, pescados y mariscos, venado y cordero alternan con chapulines, huitlacoche y quesillo.

Cinco sentidos influenciados por una extraordinaria vivencia gastronómica.

    I did my homework before this trip, and everything I had read about this place proved to be true, and then some. Salsa prepared tableside was transcendent, then the crudo pesca was a sublime starter. My last night in Oaxaca, so I ordered TWO entrees: short rib mole manchamanteles (brilliant) & cachete de res (beef cheek, magnificent). This joint is a must, a MUST, you will not be disappointed!!!

    My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner on the rooftop. Gorgeous setting next to the main temple! We ordered mezcal cocktails, the tomato and burrata salad, the quesadilla, and the short rib entrée. Everything was delicious and without a single flaw. They surprised us by mixing up a fresh salsa in a molcajete at the table. Got to try fried grasshoppers -a salty ingredient in the salsa if you prefer. Do not miss this opportunity when in Oaxaca!

    Food took toooooo long to be served , Confusion with our order , we were planing to have a great evening for our 40th anniversary and tuned to be a bad experience.. More name of restaurant than a real experience At the roof top we were seated next to a table with a lot of kids being noisy and no romantic at all
