Our Story
The goal – to guarantee a wonderful meal with authentic cuisine and fabulous margaritas, serve over 50 artisanal and ancestral mezcals, and over 100 different types of tequila brands in a vibrant unique atmosphere that boasts excellent service. Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine opened in Astoria in 2021 with such a wonderful and successful home run that a second location opened in Patchogue in March 2022.

Ruta Oaxaca means “Road to Oaxaca,” a historic state in the southern part of Mexico. Mr. Castillo and 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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Ruta Oaxaca in Patchogue offers an incredible dining experience with "excellent food and service." This Mexican restaurant is a "neighborhood gem" known for its delicious tacos and "best margarita selection." The outdoor patio is charming, and the staff is attentive. However, it can get "soooooooo loud" indoors.

Our server was great. My friend was very unsure about the spice level of sauces, and without us asking, the server brought out two different sauces for her to try. When we said they were too spicy, she offered a third sauce (the winner), and my friend ended up loving her meal!

I wanted to love this place as I’ve read so many great reviews. The service was good but the food left me wanting something more. It was beautifully presented but everything needed salt. It was just too bland. The quality is there. They have 1/2 price margs 12-4 Sat/Sun

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the service and the presentation of the food. However, we’re sorry that the flavors didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback about seasoning is invaluable, and we’ll definitely take it into consideration. We appreciate you mentioning our half-price margaritas, too! We hope to have the chance to impress you on your next visit.

It was our first time here and we really enjoyed it. The pitcher of white sangria was delicious and a good value. We loved all the tacos, and service was great! We will go back!

Food was absolutely wonderful. Got the special (seafood enchilada smothered in a spicy creme topped with calamari), birra tacos with mexican corn on the side. WOW. Everything was amazing. Appetizer was guacamole with house chips and salsa. Drinks were also amazing. I got a “no mames” flight margarita with dragon fruit, tamarind, mango and passion fruit. I will for sure be revisiting very soon.
