The beef fajitas here were hands down the best my husband or i have ever had!! This says a lot coming from a foody who eats a lot of them! The salsas were both delicious as well! Perfect blend of flavor with spice, and to top it off, our service was excellent! Both friendly and fast. I will definitely visit... More

Loved the tlayuda- a giant corn tortilla with refried beans, shredded pork (cecina)and we added the Oaxacan cheese- it's served like a pizza, in wedges. We tried 2 molés( green and red, which a bit spicier) -both were tasty and my son enjoyed a grilled, thin cut steak.. The restaurant is open air, often with a marimba player outside on... More

This is a great place to start a day in Las Crucecitas. The menu is diverse, the service and food are great. It is authentic mexican food, served simply. The owner (Guillermo) is always on site and is always making sure that your dining experience is good. The Tlayuda con cecina is incredible and worth a visit by itself. This... More

Sabor de Oaxaca is a delightful, homey restaurant with delicious Oaxacan food. The restaurant offers an array of different flavored mole sauces, distinguished by their color, each one more flavorful than the last you might have tried. Their Tlayuda with cecina brings together a rich combination of tastes and is something that you should NOT miss if you are in... More

We spent a week in Hualtulco and this was the best place we ate. Very authentic for the area. My wife and I got the sample platter and it was well worth the price. There is a local dish that is kind of a dip made from grasshopper that was great. Next time I'm in town I will got here... More

El Sabor de Oaxaca is located next door to the Hotel Maria Mixteca, about half block off the zocolo. The decor and ambiance is attractive and decorative. The menu varied and appealing. Food was excellent as was the service. Prices are moderate; excellent value.

We wandered here our first night, tried a variety of other spots and returned here for our final dinner, as we liked it best. The prices are about the same as elsewhere, but the food appeared to be fresher and tastier. the service was very good, though the English was limited. Being off the town square, it was a bit...

We were in this restaurant a couple of times during our stay in Huatulco the last week of December 2012. During our first visit it was really hard to get in, there was nobody taking care of "the front of the house" getting you on a waiting list or so. When a table became available, one of the waitress told... More
