    Brunch was fantastic — delicious Memela (appetizer), chilaquiles w chorizo and entomatodos w steak for main entrees. This isn’t a chips and salsa place — it’s lovely, quality cooking your Oaxacan Tia would make. Authentic and like a warm hug. Your stomach will leave happy. Front room of restaurant was bright and happy, middle and back was dark — it could use more light and decor to sync with the front. Didn’t have any brunch cocktails but those being served seemed to enjoy. Pretty dinner plates and bowls, appeared to be handmade, but the flatware knives couldn’t cut through warmed butter. Service was just ok— I’m sure it will get better over time and with experience. Would definitely return for brunch and we look forward to dinner service soon.

    Beautiful restaurant. We ordered the enfrijoladas with steak, papas bravas, tlayuda and the blue corn pancakes (the star dish for me-perfectly sweet) The tlayuda was light and fresh- the matcha sauce on top was phenomenal. My husband ordered the enfrijoladas and he really like them- the steak was cooked perfectly. Everything was so flavorful. Staff was friendly and the chef came out to chat with us for a while. Can’t wait to come back and try their dinner menu and cocktails!

    This place is amazing, food is truly Mexican/oaxacan full of flavors. Their selection of plates and mocktails are very appealing that I want to go back so many times so I can try the whole menu. Every single detail in the restaurant is thought or brought from Oaxaca, so it really takes you to that place. Plateware is beautiful! Can’t wait for them to open night service! Totally recommend it!

    The ambience at the front of the restaurant is very vibrant compared to the back, due to differences in lighting and noise. Originally, we were supposed to sit up front but the tables were too high for us, so we got moved to the very back. Our waitress, J.C., was not welcoming. There was some confusion while placing our order, so everyone’s food was served except mine. She didn’t apologize and came over to say that we told her we were sharing. Then, the table beside us ordered a birthday dessert, so we asked if we could have one as well (since 2 of us were celebrating our birthdays) and she was a bit hesitant but said sure. Overall, the food was good but experience wasn’t the best. I’d go here for a casual breakfast and somewhere else for birthday/special celebrations, especially if you’d like a nice, candlelit dessert like they do at La Parra, Maple & Ash, Hide + Seek, etc.
