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.

    I ordered the sea bass with capers, lemon and a tomato salsa. It was delicious. My husband ordered duck which was a bit tough, but he liked the flavor. He said if we went back, he would order the Seabass as he enjoyed the bite that I gave to him. The selection of wine was very good. The service was excellent. We would definitely go back again.

    Fantastic dining experience at the end of our holiday in Oaxaca. We ate a lot of wonderful food but Cafe De Oaxaca was the best overall meal by far.

    El servicio es bueno, el concepto es bueno referente a la fusión de ingredientes oaxaqueños, a pesar del esfuerzo, no se resaltan los sabores originarios de Oaxaca, los puntos de cocción del pato y el short rib fueron pésimos, nada sobresaliente, postres buenos, sinceramente no regresaría.

    Elegantly presented Oaxacan cuisine on a lovely rooftop. Great service. Imaginative dessert. Variety of mole dishes-choose from duck and venison and the usual meats. Excellent cocktails.

    Food was completely delicious. The location is wonderful. The service was extremely efficient but lacked a little charm and was pretty speedy. Oaxaca is an extremely beautiful place but we felt they see a lot of tourists coming through and the people working in the restaurants are reflecting that.

    Casa Oaxaca is one of the top restaurants in Oaxaca de Juárez (Oaxaca City). The menu is unusually spectacular, the top level is open to the sky with a view of Santo Domingo cathedral. There are several waiters per table, so food arrives timely and no finished plate sits very long on the table. I highly recommend Casa Oaxaca.
