Contemporary Mexican Cuisine in a modern setting. Curated Mezcal and Tequila menus to match authentic Oaxacan and regional Mexican food.At Oaxaca Club, each dish tells a story of ancient recipes and cooking techniques passed down through generations. From our traditional hand-made piquín, verde, and chipotle salsas, to our delicate Aguachile Amarillo with fresh serranos and quelites, to our hearty bone-in braised short-rib birria, we see it as our mission to capture the essence of Oaxaca's endless love affair with food, and bring a little piece of Oaxaca to you.Similar to wine, Mezcal reflects where it's grown; in Oaxaca's sun-soaked hills and rugged valleys, ancient agave plants absorb the region's rich volcanic soils, imbuing the spirit with a subtle earthiness. Our carefully curated menu is always evolving with the seasons, ensuring each visit brings the freshest and most vibrant flavors to your table and to those you share it with.

    The food selection is terrific but I always go for the Kale salad with blackened shrimp. The pecan vinaigrette dressing is so delicious. This is a great place to enjoy food!

    The food was delicious! The eggplant appetizer and the meatball appetizer were so delicious! Two of us had Lasagna and the homemade pasta and all the ingredients were so so good! It had both Bolognese and Bechemel in the Lasagna. Two others had the Tagliolini al Limone, scallops in pasta with a lemon buttery sauce with pistachio nuts was divine! The fifth person in our group had the Tagliatelle Bolognese , 2nd time this person ordered this dish, they liked it so much the first time they visited the restaurant. Service and drinks (Limoncello spritz) were great too! Would highly recommend this place.
