Café Nuevo Mundo — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Clean, very attentive good service. However that’s kind of where it stops being above average. Ordered the Jamón Serrano baguette, limonada natural and a brownie to go. While the read was fresh it was chewy which while not great for the Serrano it was everything else that buried any hint of the barely there in quantity Jamón Serrano. The Tomato was oversized but again fresh, same for the red onion and lettuce. There also was simply a lopsided portion of cheese to Jamón Serrano ratio that caused this to fail. The chopped fried potatoes were heavy on the salt as well. Then come the brownie- it’s a cake like brownie which we’ve all had at some point but it was very dry and only came with a white dusting on top which made things worse.

I wish I could say the sandwich was palatable, but it was gross and I left with a sick feeling in my stomach. Not sure why this place is rated so highly here. At least they are friendly, so I’ll give them an extra star for that. But save your money and...

Quite busy cafe very popular hangout amonst locals and expats. A good option for breakfast and also a wide range of sandwiches avalable throughout the day at decent price but the strong side of their business is definitely coffee. Exellent choice, from house blend, dark roast and a few gurmet blends. Available in whole beans or grind it for you right there and then to suit your coffee drinking habits: espresso machines, Italian moka, filter etc. Possibly the best coffee in town. Very helpful staff behind the bar and good table service. Strongly...
