Fodor's Review:

This venture from the folks behind the Casa Oaxaca hotel explores the extreme limits of chef Alejandro Ruiz's talent with some of the most creative food in southern Mexico. The room is modern, open, airy, and effortlessly romantic. The incredibly well-priced tasting menus are the way to go; one allows you to taste four different moles, with venison, duck, or fish. The kitchen also has a way with snapper.

over-rated but wonderful artwork

Posted by cintal from Atlanta on 6/16/08
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.

Food: 4.0 Atmosphere: 5.0 Service: 5.0 Value: 4.0 RATING: 4.4

Terribly Over-rated

Posted by chinesebookie from Chicago on 3/27/08
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.

Food: 2.0 Atmosphere: 1.0 Service: 2.0 Value: 1.0 RATING: 1.6
