   The one place our friends that live in Oaxaca said was a must, and they were right! Delicious food, friendly service and nice location. We came in for lunch after a hot day in the botanical garden and the courtyard at Origen was perfect with its airy atmosphere. With a refreshing beer in hand, we started with three appetizers and were blown away. The Fish Ceviche, Duck Enchiladas and Beef Tartare were amazing… so much so that we had another Ceviche as our entree. Our kids shared the Res-Tirada Rib-Eye and loved it! Great service and atmosphere, with authentic cuisine. Our favorite in Oaxaca so far! A+!

   Extremely disappointing. They moved location recently and so the historical positive reviews are no longer valid. I reserved believing it was still the original location where friends had positive experiences and recommended it. The restaurant is dull with minimal ambience, the food is ordinary by Oaxaca standards, wilting salad leaves showed just not fresh standard, the kitchen looked temporary, no tasting menu ( which was at the old location), service was muddled, dead roses on the table. Then a premium price to even the Michelin one star restaurants in town. Apparently a new management and food team with the old brand name in new location. We felt we had been deceived. So much better other choices now in Oaxaca.

   Food was fresh, flavorful, well prepared. The ceviche and tomato salad were outstanding.

   We had the roast pork loin, which was excellent. Lovely setting. My big complaint has to do with the wine prices. There was no mention of wine by the glass. When I asked for 2 glasses of white wine, they actually said they had that. When I got the bill, the cost of each was around $15.00 each. We had eaten in many other restaurants in Oaxaca and had not had that kind of charge for what tasted like a house wine.

   La comida es buena, pero sobrevalorada. El lugar deja mucho que desear, está bastante descuidado y tiene un aspecto sucio. Te piden una tarjeta para hacer la reservación y no estaba ni a la mitad de su capacidad. Únicamente tienen dos opciones de vino tinto. En general le falta capacitación a los empleados, llegamos y nadie nos recibió.

   Me pareció uno de estos lugares donde te cobran caro y te sirven escaso, la comida de muy buen sabor. Pero por el precio nos quedamos hambrientos. Varias cosas del menú no tenían (cosas tan básicas como Sprite para mezclar un cóctel) el vino blanco no lo tenían frío, muchos mezcales. El lugar lindo y tranquilo, la gente muy amable

   The food was excellent… provided one kept pace with the blistering pace of the courses. Our first drinks arrived mere moments before the appetizers. The mains were placed on the table (getting cold) while we were still enjoying the appetizers. We were literally still on those first beers by the time dessert was tabled. Such a missed opportunity to showcase their beverage menu. They need to slow down. We mentioned this to the staff member who took payment who made no apology - even that feedback to them was hurried as they nodded and even completed my sentence in saying it was too fast. Ambience was neat, a hidden courtyard, although the lighting was a bit collegiate and overdone. With a few adjustments this place could be a gem.

    La ubicación de la aplicación está equivocada, tuvimos que correr al otro lado del andador para llegar. Al llegar no había mucho orden. El servicio no fue el mejor, pero la comida estaba deliciosa.
