Wombat Oaxaca — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Really cheery restaurant/bar/cultural/co-work space. We went for the first time yesterday to see the family Ràices perform. I could not believe that we were finally able to attend a music performance in Oaxaca that was acoustic and didn't make our ears bleed from over-amplification in a small space! Thank you, thank you! There's an attractive bar to sit at and tables as well in an open shaded area. The menu is interesting, mainly salads, tacos, burritos, hamburgers and a few pasta choices. I enjoyed the salad with falafel and the pasta with curry, cilantro and goat cheese was very tasty. Our waitress couldn't have been more personable. Drink prices are already accessible (50 peso glasses of wine) and cocktails are two-for-one Monday to Friday from 3:00 to 6:00. I look forward to returning for Happy Hour and to try their garnachas. Definitely a fun place to spend a hot afternoon and the next time I see in Oaxaca Events that they're showing a film, I'm going. It's located a block west of Pino Suarez and a bit south of El Llano Park....

I asked the waiter if the tacos came with wheat or corn tortillas because I can't eat wheat. He said corn so I ordered them. I ate two and began to feel ill. I asked one of the staff if the tortillas were wheat and was told they were. Soon after they wanted to give me the check. I was shocked and said as much. A slight argument ensued and the waiter claimed I never asked him about the tortillas. In the end I was not charged or they'd get one star. But it's hours later now and I still don't feel well, so 2 stars feels generous. The food I...
