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.

Amazing food - don’t recommend the alcohol pairing as you don’t get much each course - very family style ambience for dinner - lunch setting is better but still well worth the price of 105 per person for 7 courses plus pairing
