This restaurant was closed for a long time and has now opened with a new owner. Chef Iliana de la Vega has left Oaxaca. I understand that the new owner has hired a chef to design a new menu that will focus on contemporary dishes. Call ahead for hours and other info.

Downhill

Having been a fan of the restaurant previously there, the moles were a disappointment. there's no need to go all the way to oaxaca to get bottled style mole which is wnat it tasted like. two of the females in the party felt like the waiter, an older man, was leering at them. that was confirmed when he had to be told that she was married to another in our party after asking her plans for the weekend. the younger bus staff was professional and tried to make up for the food and shoddy waiter. that much money for mediocre food and creepy service just isn't worth it when there are so many other great oaxacan restaurants. really sad.

The food, service, and decor were wonderful - unfortunately 3 of us who ordered the same dish in our party of 7 became violently ill that night with food poisoning. i'm afraid the kitchen isn't as clean with the new owners. bummer!
