La Cabaña — Restaurant in Oaxaca

TOURIST TRAP! Was a part of the tour to Monte Alban and we were NOT told that we'd be going there and was NOT included in the tour price. $150 pesos per person buffet style. If you didn't eat there, you went hungry as there isn't anything more around. The food was HORRIBLE and COLD! The ONLY hot foods were the soups. The most flavorful thing they had were the fried grasshoppers as toppings. The flower squash soup was probably the best thing there and only because it had vegetables. All the moles I tasted were COLD, then you pick whichever one you like and they serve you a piece of boiled COLD chicken topped with choice of mole sauce. The upside is that for $150 pesos you get to sample typical Oaxacan food which was extremely disappointing and unsatisfactory. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff. You'd eat better at the Mercados. Like in another review, you mostly get SAUCE or SOUP with very little meat. The pozole was ALL maíz/ homeny and NOT AT ALL what pozole normally taste like. I understand that flavors differ from region to region but you'd expect some likeness. The ONLY people there were the ones brought in the tour buses. If you take any day tour out of Oaxaca make sure to pack a lunch or get stuck eating at this...

An all you can eat restaurant. Very good price and not so strict when it comes to not being able to finish your dish. We payed only 150 pesos per person excluding drinks. We ordered 2x Coca Cola bottles and 2x All you can eat dishes for a total of 340 pesos. We didn't even really finish our dishes completely and they didn't calculate extra costs. The toilets were very clean. Staff was friendly. Sometimes they felt a bit pushy, especially when it came to ordering drinks. There were a lot of flies flying all over the place, and I mean a lot. Also, many food dishes only contained the sauce, there was nothing else in there. The staff told me that they were preparing the foods but it was gonna take a few hours. So we weren't able to taste like 30% of what they were offering. Those 3 things were the only negative things about the place. Overall a...

Where to start, I don't know if I had an off day. But I tasted everything and the sauces, maybe like 1-2 were Ok (almendra was pasable), But! I couldn't pick up ANY flavor on the meat, stew, beans, even the potatoes with chorizo. I love tatos and I would assume it's a simple thing to pick up in flavor cuz it's made with Chorizo, but even that was bland. The water flavor, they mentioned it's mixed with normal sugar... I think anyone would disagree. If the made with a different ingredients I'd get it. But they just were reserved on the info.

How we found this place? It was a stop we did with a tour and I can 98% tell you the same food that they served outside of the hotel (street stalls to be more exact), had more taste/texture to it than the buffet.

For the price it's fine since there is many options, BUT as a tasty...
