Oaxaca Restaurants

Casa Oaxaca

Casa Oaxaca Review

Chef Alejandro Ruiz is behind some of the most creative food in southern Mexico—rack of lamb in pineapple and vanilla sauce and venison tamales with mole are just a few examples. Wild game is featured heavily on the menu, though the kitchen also has a way with red snapper. Not one course falls short here: appetizers incorporate local herbs and greens and desserts such as a guava tart with rose-petal sorbet perfectly balance citrus and sweetness. The specialty cocktails are excellent, especially the sangria. The room is modern, open, airy, with white stucco walls, simple wooden tables and chairs, and a beamed ceiling. It's casual and effortlessly romantic.

    There are 2 Casa Oaxaca restaurants. One is in the small hotel and the other is located near Santo Domingo. While I agree with the previous poster that the food is over-rated, the ambiance and service were very good. The artwork in the larger restaurant (not the hotel location) is worth seeing.

    Terrible room, average food, and indifferent service. How could you go so wrong? This room had terrible ambiance, and the food was average, with prices that would have made me expect much more. There are much better restaurants in Oaxaca, Try El Teatro Culinario, which has yet to be reviewed here.
