Restaurante Mia Arroz — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Absolutely beautiful restaurant in a verdant area. We chose a table in the back, outside, with wonderful views of the surrounding fields and hills. There's an impressive carp pond by the bathrooms and outside sinks to wash one's hands. The waitress thoughtfully brought an anti-fly candle to our table and it really helped discourage the unwanted flying visitors. The various dishes we ordered were served promptly, and we all enjoyed the freshly prepared spring rolls, fried wontons, sopa de tamarindo (a new taste and a bit sweet for me), ensalada de mango (highly recommended), pad thai and chow mein. With the views, the coolness of the fresh air, the beautiful architecture and design, and the quality of the food, this was one of the most enjoyable meals we have had in quite a long time. Are the flavors authentic? We weren't really bothered by that question. Oaxaqueño friends brought us; without a car of one's own, access from the city is challenging. If you're going to CASA at Vista Hermosa, Mia Arroz...

Being a surprising Asian option in the heart of oaxaca, I went in wondering how this fusion style food would taste like.

The food is very tasty, the pad Thai was just right on the spiciness, and the fried rice with shrimp was equally good. My only complaint was the fried ice cream being rock solid in the middle, making it hard to eat it, and the coffee in the tiramisu was very strong, it overpowered the rest of the cake. Other than that we had excellent service, the atmosphere and design of the restaurant was well put together, and my party all had a great time dining here.

I would absolutely come back here on my next trip back to this city...

Ate here 3 different times, and tried 3 different things. It's pretty good. I'm from a town with a lot of Asians, so this didn't taste particularly Asian (to me). It has a very strong fan base in Oaxaca. The "fusion" is sort of Oaxacan and I miss the Asian peppers. It's good, just not the best for me. However, I did enjoy the fried wontons very much. The Vietnamese coffee is also very tasty. This is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have seen in Oaxaca. Love the walls that open up to let the breeze flow through, the color scheme and the over all setting. I would give this a 3.5. My favorite thing was...
