Our Story The goal,to guarantee a wonderful meal with authentic cuisine & fabulous margaritas,serve over 50 artisanal & ancestral mezcals,over 100 types of tequila brands in a vibrant unique atmosphere,boasts excellent service. Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine opened in Astoria 2021 with such a wonderful,successful home run that a 2nd location opened in Patchogue March 2022. Ruta Oaxaca means “Road to Oaxaca,”a historic state in the southern part of Mexico. Mr. Castillo & his Partners are keenly focused on honoring Oaxacan culinary traditions, whose fame is derived in great part from its many varieties of moles.By legend,these ancient recipes are more than sauces,they are the very focus of the meal.Ruta Oaxaca proudly features four moles,each prepared using the Oaxacan mole recipes that have made the cuisine world famous.

The chips and salsa were TOO good. The margaritas were nice, some very interesting. I lived in Oaxaca for two summers and was looking forward to authentic chicken mole. I was somewhat disappointed: the flavor was excellent but, unlike in Oaxaca, the chicken was cooked separately and the sauce added when the dish was served. The chicken was overcooked and did not have an infusion of mole flavor. My dinner companions enjoyed their enchiladas and tacos. I tasted and did not find them to be as good as in Mexico. We ordered flan and tres leches. Both were too sweet for my taste. The flan was coffee flavored and was missing the slightly bitter bite of caramelized sugar.

The service was great, and the drinks were strong. Not the tastiest, but they did the job. The guac seemed old. Not great. Chips good. The vegetable enchiladas were TERRIBLE. Like, inedible. They had a syrupy sweetness that was just awful. I don’t know what ingredient made it like that, but I feel queasy just remembering the flavor. My friend got something with chorizo and thought it was fine, nothing amazing. I was excited to try a New Mexican place, but this one is a no go from me.

Good was excellent. They didn’t have their ANC license yet so were unable to try their margaritas. I got mole enchiladas and they were excellent. Meat was tender and the mole sauce was well done. My wife got tacos and she really enjoyed them as well. It’s a good restaurant and worth going to
