Restaurante Coronita — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Our visit to Restaurante Coronita was quite disappointing. We ordered a variety of dishes, including chicken with salad and rice. Unfortunately, the portion sizes were very small, especially the chicken, which was so dry it was inedible. When we brought this up to the waiter (who was very kind), the manager (or whoever he consulted) was rude and suggested we make soup with it or dip it in the extremely spicy sauce instead of addressing the issue.

Additionally, they brought steamed vegetables instead of the salad we ordered and refused to correct it. Another dish, the tlayudas, came with minimal meat and beans, making it dry as well.

Definitely a tourist trap, but we still ordered the 7 mole dish for 750 pesos against my own gut instinct. Several mole were good, but several just didn't have much flavor at all. I was really surprised how dull they tasted. The dismal mole were sprinkled with chicken, and came with a lemon onion side dish, a scoop of rice and tortillas which you can ask for more. This mole dish is waaayyy overpriced, made for gringos. Each individual mole dish was very smal, and did not come with any vegetables such as avogados or tomatoes. Service was good, but I would order something else, or go...
