Our Story The goal,to guarantee a wonderful meal with authentic cuisine & fabulous margaritas,serve over 50 artisanal & ancestral mezcals,over 100 types of tequila brands in a vibrant unique atmosphere,boasts excellent service. Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine opened in Astoria 2021 with such a wonderful,successful home run that a 2nd location opened in Patchogue March 2022. Ruta Oaxaca means “Road to Oaxaca,”a historic state in the southern part of Mexico. Mr. Castillo & his Partners are keenly focused on honoring Oaxacan culinary traditions, whose fame is derived in great part from its many varieties of moles.By legend,these ancient recipes are more than sauces,they are the very focus of the meal.Ruta Oaxaca proudly features four moles,each prepared using the Oaxacan mole recipes that have made the cuisine world famous.

    The service was great, and the drinks were strong. Not the tastiest, but they did the job. The guac seemed old. Not great. Chips good. The vegetable enchiladas were TERRIBLE. Like, inedible. They had a syrupy sweetness that was just awful. I don’t know what ingredient made it like that, but I feel queasy just remembering the flavor. My friend got something with chorizo and thought it was fine, nothing amazing. I was excited to try a New Mexican place, but this one is a no go from me.

    Good was excellent. They didn’t have their ANC license yet so were unable to try their margaritas. I got mole enchiladas and they were excellent. Meat was tender and the mole sauce was well done. My wife got tacos and she really enjoyed them as well. It’s a good restaurant and worth going to

    My husband and I tried out this new Brooklyn location on Smith Street and were very happy with our dinner. The entrees offer a new take on Mexican food. My grilled fish was perfect, the corn and quinoa base and jicama salad were great additions, Hubby got the Asada entree and the medium cooked beef was juicy and flavorful, not stringy and tough as beef can sometimes be. Looking forward to going abck and trying some other dishes.
