Diner notes
5 out of 5
Went here for the first time with friends for brunch and we were all really impressed. The flavors a freshness of everything were outstanding! They had mocktail options, which I really appreciated. I started off with the Piña Tatemada, which was lovely and delicious. We shared the Tlayuda (fun fact: it’s gluten free, which our GF friend appreciated). The flavors in this dish were incredible and the tomatoes were so fresh. For my entree, I had Huevos Divorciados, which was also excellent. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to come back!

We came here for both a private dining event and a brunch and we were blown away both times. Great flavors and a wonderful staff. The chef made an effort to speak with us on both occasions and really puts a lot of effort and thought into his dishes. A new favorite and would highly recommend to anyone considering coming.

Food was great. This is upscale Oaxacan food. With that being said, yes the dishes are smaller and more artistic. But the quality is there. The drinks are very good as well. The chef is doing great at sticking to the roots and hitting the authentic taste of Mexican food with all the spices. We went for brunch and at the beginning it was not busy, but as it got busier our waiter was not checking in on us. BUT the busers did a great job of coming and filling water as well as getting things for us. Truly enjoyed it and hope to be back soon.
