Ordered the Canasta Oaxaquena. The meat, cheese and beans were delicious. Everything on our plate, including the tortillas were flavorful. Not only that, the young servers tending to us were very attentive and had great customer service. Wish I could have thanked the elderly lady cook who made our dinner. If you’ve never had this type of Mexican food, it’s a must.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Absolutely fantastic start to finish! Came in for my birthday dinner. My wife and I shared the mole negro and mole Amarillo. Both were very flavorful and worth getting small boxes to take home the little bit left on both plates. The server was very nice and brought over a piece of flan for my birthday. Again, delicious! We will definitely be returning.

Rice and beans are flavorful. The rice reminds me of the chicken oil rice that comes with hainan chicken. I’m guessing they used chicken stock to cook it. It’s much better than white rice and not mushy. The rellenos peppers were flavorful and molotes were nice as well. Chips a bit burnt but appreciated the fresh tortillas and chips and salsa. They didn’t charge extra for them. Good friendly service. Kids menu of the same items but in smaller portions.
