Had a great night at Origin! The cocktails were amazing — super creative and perfectly made. But the highlight was Pedro, our server. He went above and beyond, was incredibly kind, and made the whole experience feel special. Great service, great drinks — definitely coming back. The one place our friends that live in Oaxaca said was a must, and they were right! Delicious food, friendly service and nice location. We came in for lunch after a hot day in the botanical garden and the courtyard at Origen was perfect with its airy atmosphere. With a refreshing beer in hand, we started with three appetizers and were blown away. The Fish Ceviche, Duck Enchiladas and Beef Tartare were amazing… so much so that we had another Ceviche as our entree. Our kids shared the Res-Tirada Rib-Eye and loved it! Great service and atmosphere, with authentic cuisine. Our favorite in Oaxaca so far! A+! Their mole dish was something that I have never tasted before. So much flavor and good decoration. Great service as well

It is one of the best restaurants that I have in Oaxaca. Relaxing vibe, excellent food and good service. The waitress explained each dish very well and recommended dishes to customers have certain restrictions. No rush and can really enjoy the food and vibe. Highly recommended to try beef tongue with chichilo mole, the spice and salt just balanced very well and would make you want to keep eating. They change menu seasonally.

This place came highly recommended and we were looking forward to the rib eye steak for lunch. First the good: the potato appetizer was the best dish. The drinks were good. I had the soda of the day- mango passion fruit with seltzer water. My short rib dish was delicious, but not what I expected— a bowl with cous cous, veggies, and bits of ribs in a delicious sauce. I expected whole ribs. Now the issues: service was very slow with little personality, especially at these prices; The New York steak was over cooked. The setting in a courtyard was basic and we were swarmed with flies once the food came. Also, the restaurant was poorly responsive by OpenTable message, phone, and What’s App to modify our reservation. I had to go to the restaurant to make the change. Overpriced. I have a feeling it used to be better.
