- KkristineSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 11, 2024We think our food and evening at Origen was not only the best experience in Oaxaca but perhaps anywhere. It is is cultured, so above most aesthetically. The food was simple but it reminded me of the early years of Che Panisse in Berkeley, CA....More infoOrigenPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Oaxaca•4
- KKatVIPChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined on Jul 31, 2024This was such a wonderful experience! This is a true family business, and mom/dad/and son were all in attendance. We were the only people in the tasting, and so it really felt like we were just tasting Mezcal with this lovely family having us over. They were friendly, knowledgeable, warm, and passionate! I would very much recommend this!More infoMezcal Tasting Room by Gül-RooPrice: Very Expensive• Mexican• Oaxaca•5
