Café Casa Mayor — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Came here a bit early on a Monday, at about 330pm. Saw the bad reviews but wanted to try it out for myself anyway because I love interesting drink menus.

We’re ready to leave without...

They also ground 1 kilo of coffee beans for us to take home with us. Highly recommend it! The menu is with QR code only, so bring your cell, and they are a straw-free restaurant so just keep in mind when you...
