La Carta de Oaxaca

Fodor's Review:

True to its name, this restaurant serves traditional Mexican cooking, with Oaxacan accents. The mole negro is a must, served over chicken or pork; another standout is the albondigas (a spicy vegetable soup with meatballs). The menu is small plates, which works out to your advantage because you won't have to choose just one savory dish. The small space is sleek: the open kitchen is enclosed by a stainless-steel bar, the walls are covered in gorgeous black-and-white photos wedged together like puzzle pieces, and the light wood tables and black chairs and banquettes look more Scandinavian than Mexican. The place gets very crowded on weekends, and stays busy until late, though if you have a small party you usually don't have to wait too long for a table.
