Zicachela — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Me and my girlfriend went here on a monday by chance.. and I was blown away by these guys. Jerónimo is a great host who is fluent is English, yet patiently allows you to struggle in Spanish to get some practice in.

Pepe was manning the grill, and made us the best slow cooked steak taco’s I ever had. It’s their monday night special, and the meat had been on the fire for the past 10 hours.. and yeah that was definitely worth the effort.

The beef was topped of with some onions, cilantro and crispy potato sticks who added a nice crunch. You get a green and red homemade salsa to splash on top and get ready for a great meal.

We shared some lemonades and pina colada’s and we had an amazing and very affordable evening. Don’t let their tough looks intimidate you, these guys are straight up gold!

We will definitely be back!

Much love Alex & Inez

Ps. The vegetarian taco’s...

Monday they have tacos de suadero and they are delicious! I had to get my order to go and the fries on the tacos were so crisp they stayed that way by the time I got home and even hours later when I ate a leftover taco.

I’ve had a burger here before and it is also quite good.

The owner is super nice and will chat with you a without being too chatty which makes it comfortable and pleasant place to have a beer while waiting on your order.

10/10 will...

Tacos and burgers were all pretty good, however I'm pretty sure the tacos were supposed to come with some salsa but nothing came with it, quite dry actually. The big drawback though was that it took almost an hour before we got our to go order for four, when the restaurant was almost empty. I'd go back but not...
