The food here was amazing! Mayan tacos and traditional Pozole were on another tier in comparison to all the other Mexican food I've eaten recently.

Great food and service. Very tasty food at good price in the heart of Oaxaca city centre. The drinks were fantastic. We came for lunch but will definitely come back for dinner and the live music in the evening!

Fantastic food, very affordable prices, and delicious cocktails! We highly recommend this place. A big thank you to Ulises, the cocktail master, and to Juan de Dios and Fátima, the talented chefs!

It is a great restaurant with super service. We got great recommendations and it was all very tasty. Later they had live music which was super fun. We loved it.

Great Mescalini’s, great food, great service, great atmosphere. Thanks

Excellent place to eat something very delicious that is not traditional, their drinks have a great variety of beer, cocktails are delicious, delicious, delicious. I ordered the mango mescalina and OMG it really tasted like mango. My father ordered the fish of the day and I had the Texans Burger, which was very delicious. The atmosphere of the place was very pleasant, the service was very attentive, kind and cool person. Our waiter was Rodolfo, we recommend him, he helped us with all our questions, thank you. Definitely we are coming back he also told us there live music tonight after 730pm.

A must when in Oaxaca!! Food, service & live band 10/10. The Birria was especially amazing - soooo delicious. Would come back over & over again!

We dropped in after a long day of walking and found this to be the perfect place to relax. The service was great especially on such a busy day. We had the 3 mezcalinis and the mango drink was my favorite! Definitely recommend stopping here.
