Casa Oaxaca el Restaurante

October 23, 2025

Food was tasty, but not what was expected from a Michelin place! Flavors were very similar to food you'd get outside, thus I'm questioning the price value! Portions were good and we didn't leave feeling hungry! Especially the salsa was great, made fresh at the table in front of you and customized to your liking! Unfortunately, I got food poisoning from the scallops, which symptoms almost caused me to be hospitalized! From what I read though, it's caused from a heat resistant algae toxin - so I'm assuming in good faith that the restaurant had no control over that and it's an isolated situation! The atmosphere was good... We were sat upstairs, outside and right by the church, so it was expected to be loud! The interior is beautifully decorated, very simple yet feels homey and Mexican. Service was decent... Staff was very friendly, but we were seldomly checked in on and occasionally had to call for assistance or to order! Perhaps normal in Mexico and just not what we're used to! Sadly not many spoke English, which of course generally isn't to be expected in another country, but would've been nice in a Michelin place! Translate app helped a lot! All in all it's a nice place and recommended for dinner, but don't know if I'd go out of my way to book again!

The attentive staff clearly demonstrated remarkable attention to detail throughout our visit. Please note that this establishment prioritizes fresh preparation over speed, so allow ample time for your meal. The culinary creations were truly delicious and well worth the wait. We appreciated the dedication to quality evident in every aspect of the dining experience.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere, good service, excellent plating and good dishes. We had the insect tostada which was great, duck (good, but needed more rendering on the fat), rabbit which was quite good, super tender short rib and a whole fish. All of the flavors were good, but nothing remarkable to want to return. Experience was quite good for a 1 time visit.

I arrived at the restaurant with relatively high expectations in light of the reviews and was further surprised to discover that the place had won a Michelin star for 2024, which raised my expectations even more. The prices are indeed expensive compared to Mexico. The starters were much less good than many other restaurants I've eaten at, we ordered ceviche which was the least tasty and quesadilla. The meat dishes were better, although small. In terms of service, I will say that there is a sense of haste and acceleration in clearing the table which was very unpleasant, the minimum is to ask before clearing a plate when we haven't finished eating and to take my glass when there is still water in the bottle on the table. The service really needs improvement!

Based on the reviews I expected this place to be style over substance or a victim of hype, but we had an exceptional meal here. Fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavours, attentive staff. Better in my view than other Michelin-recommended places in the city.
