La comida espectacular con ingredientes muy frescos! La chuleta de cerdo que ordenó mi esposo! 🤩el postre de leche quemada, una explosión de sabores! 😋 También las bebidas muy ricas, y el mezcal tobala’ de la casa, delicioso. El servicio podría mejorar. Nuestro mesero no hablaba inglés, y tenía las uñas descuidadas. También el volumen de la música estaba muy alto. Otro tipo de música más adecuado para comer tranquilos también ayudaría mucho al ambiente.

Ancestral is one of the must Restaurants to visit while in Oaxaca. The open kitchen with an open flame grill and authentic tortilla station brings that rustic flavor that enhances the taste of Oaxacan food. Loved all the various Moles. The Almond mole with the Pork was especially yummy. Furthermore, we had two sharing plates that we as a group of four couldn't get enough of: the Banana 'fritter like' things, and the Potato and Chorizo croquettes. Both great bites. Now the room. It is outdoors and the ambiance is what I would expect a Oaxacan kitchen and outdoor space to look like if this were part of a large house or hacienda. Don't miss it.

Pésima experiencia, servicio inadecuado, camareros que confunden los platos, juntando todos los platos, que pena el chef, excelente comida, me pregunto cómo puede conseguir premios con tan pésimo servicio. Los camareros se rieron y se equivocaron en casi todos los platos.
