Cabuche — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Do not give this man your business!! What is the problem with the owner???? He is so mean and rude.

We ate a nice and relaxing lunch . They cleared everything away. We asked for the bill. Waitresses completely forgot a salad that we had ordered. That isn’t a big deal…it happens. But we saw that the salad had been charged on the bill, we told the waitress that we never received it and would she correct the bill. She returned after a bit and said the salad was ready for us to eat - even though she had cleared the table and we were preparing to leave. 😳. Then here comes the unhappy owner who proceeded to insult our b1ish attempts in Spanish at explaining and tell us condescendingly that his was not a fast food restaurant. He insisted that the salad was ready and therefore we must pay for it😠. It was a pretty uncomfortable exchange. His tone was loud and angry.

It really does NOT matter how "good" the food, the service or the location of a restaurant is if they put your health at risk for their lack of hygiene and...

An ‘authentic’ Mexican food restaurant (they serve burritos!) for those tourists who don’t want to venture to the street food stalls or don’t want to spend money on the really wonderful restaurants Oaxaca offers. Service is also dicey. I’ve eaten there three times. First time food was good but service quite slow. Second time when after half an hour I asked where my tacos were I discovered later that we had been billed twice for those tacos. Tonight I asked for my beer after my first course was served. Tip: when your service is not great, at least serve the drinks. Again, I was charged twice for the beer. And they serve really overpriced very average ice cream. I only went tonight because I saw they had a free table and Oaxaca is crowded for Christmas. I won’t ...
