Excellent good food.
Wonderful place for really fresh Oaxacan dining. Some of the best salsa verde and chilaquiles around, and there is a lot of competition! We also loved the shrimp a la mexicana, which was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of chili peppers. I also recommend the sopes, which have a great chewiness and corn flavor. On any given day the menu seems to vary, since this is not a high volume restaurant. However, there were plenty of tempting options, for both vegetarians or pescetarians as well as meat lovers.
Though the location is a far cry from the pretty - albeit sterile - setting of Pier Village, which is only a few blocks away, we never felt unsafe, and appreciated the plentiful free parking. The waiting staff was patient, welcoming and friendly, though I have to say that ordering in English would have been tricky, since she did not speak much english. But that all contributes to the authenticity of the experience.
Overall we were so impressed with the quality, flavor and service that we chose this restaurant to cater a going-away party for our daughter, who is crazy about the food of this part of Mexico, as well as the overall culture and warmth. Go check it out, but don't tell too many people about it since we don't want to lose our table there!
