Casa Oaxaca El Restaurante
Price: Very Expensive•Regional Mexican•4.6(1,355)Aquí, un ritmo animado acompaña la transparencia de luz que hace vibrar los colores. La sutileza de lo esencial subraya el poder evocador de los olores y sabores que surgen de la cocina de Alejandro Ruiz.
Se mezclan los aromas y los sabores de hierbas mediterráneas con las oaxaqueñas. Así, la albahaca y el romero comparten sus tintes con la hoja santa, la pitiona y el shorobobo. Asimismo, granada, pescados y mariscos, venado y cordero alternan con chapulines, huitlacoche y quesillo.
Cinco sentidos influenciados por una extraordinaria vivencia gastronómica.Restaurante Catedral
Price: Expensive•Mexican / Southwestern•4.6(528)Restaurante Catedral brings local, regional and international dishes together to offer a truly unique menu. Start your day off with a breakfast of Teotitlan Del Valle Style eggs or the Socorrido, which is a pork rind casserole with sausage, egg and cheese served in a red sauce with Water Chiles stripes. Restaurante Catedral is the perfect place for a date night. Come enjoy the house specialty of homemade ravioli with Hierba santa that is filled with suckling pork and topped with grated cheese. Restaurante Catedral also serves meat and seafood dishes, like the roasted beef tenderloin, grilled octopus and fried mullet.
Criollo
Price: Very Expensive•Contemporary Mexican•4.6(1,931)Criollo is located in a neighborhood adjacent to the center of the city of Oaxaca.
Chef Luis Arellano is a cook with a spirit that is both attached to his roots and creative and evolutionary.
He builds the menu adapting to the local products available and the seasons, inspired by the different techniques of Oaxacan cuisine, making nods to the coast, the valleys, the mountains and the Istmo of the state of Oaxaca.Tierra del sol
Price: Expensive•Traditional Mexican•4.5(341)Tierra del Sol is a restaurant that takes its name from the Mixtec song, a melody that has become an Oaxacan hymn.
Just like that nostalgic song, this place celebrates in its own way the culture of an exceptional people: the Mixtec or ñuu savi; the first does it with her poetry and the second with her food.
Our chef: Olga Cabrera, cook, is the architect of such gastronomic praise, and she achieves it from the knowledge and respect for an ancient cuisine that she inherited from the women of her family and her community, Huajuapan – in the heart of the Mixteca region of Oaxaca -, a knowledge that seasons with his special passion for traditional dishes.
CASA OAXACA Reforma
Price: Expensive•Traditional Mexican•4.4(102)Nos encontramos a 15 minutos del centro histórico.
Un lugar para abandonarse en los sencillos y cotidianos placeres de la buena mesa. Los diferentes espacios juegan con la luz al tono que tu ánimo elige: un soleado jardín, un cobertizo acogedor, una sombreada pérgola.Restaurante sin nombre

Everything we ate, from the divine corn and squash blossom soup, to the miniature braised short rib tacos, to the incredible elote tamale, was exquisite. They offered us a scrumptious complimentary amuse bouche of chicken mole on chicharrones, a basket of incredible little cheese breads, and the most gracious, warm service. We want to go back and try everything, as the party of six next to us was doing, with very evident delight. One of the best dining experiences ever.More infoRestaurante CatedralPrice: Expensive• Mexican / Southwestern• Oaxaca•4.6
