This place is a real gem 💎, its really hard to find really good Mexican food. We have gone twice and have tried different plates and well, we give it a 5 out of 5 for the flavor and the dishes they serve. It is a little warm not to bad where you cant stay there its just around 76° inside. The aguas frescas are all good, homemade not poweder like other places. I recommend the agua de Jamaica. Just FYI this place does not offer chips and sauce just to let you know. Which is fine because the food is so good you finish it all up and the chips would only take the taste from the food. We ordered the mole enchiladas, oh its so 🔥, we had it with the chicken, the chicken is grilled just right. En tomatadas are also awesome, I recommend you get the beef or steak yum 😋. The Burrito I forgot what the burrito was called but it had everything, steak, beans, lettuce, cheese and fresh tortilla. Last plate we had was eggs and chorizo it was also great came with 3 homemade corn tortillas. All the plates a 5 out of 5. They have a green sauce it was 5 out of 5 flavor taste and spicy. The darker sauce I didn't care for its a 3 out of 5. All and all it's a must. Stop on by staff is friendly and...
Read moreMy husband and I live in Oaxaca most of the year, and we were craving some authentic food that reminds us of "home." Ocho Regiones—or, Mi Lindo Oaxaca, as all the signage and menus say?—hit the spot!
We enjoyed the alambres (although we'd never had it with pineapple and ham before) and the tlayuda mixta (minus chorizo). I couldn't tell what kind of cheese the tlayuda had, but it didn't seem like Oaxaca cheese (quesillo), and I would've liked to see a little more of it. Still, the flavor and textures were all there, and we liked the house-made salsas provided to top our dinner with!
The tortillas—both for the tlayuda and the alambres—were clearly hand-made, but the ones for the alambres were an unfamiliar texture that seemed like the stretchy texture of flour tortillas, though they were made with corn. Still, they worked great for the alambres.
Great variety of options that we'll be back to enjoy again! Reasonable pricing. They do upcharge for additional tortillas ($3 for 2) and any extras.
At 4 p.m. on a Sunday, the place was nearly full, and we were the only gringos in sight. A...
Read moreMy Mexican born husband would have given the food a 4 instead of my 3 and he ordered Tlayudas mix. I had a Torta and it was okay but I've had MUCH BETTER at many places. The 2 salsas they served us had no flavor but just as we were finishing lunch I saw someone with a light green one and it was much better. If you do not speak Spanish, you will have a very hard time here even with a translator on your phone. This place is beyond hot and although they have fans and a window unit they were not on. It's AUGUST for God's sake!!! My poor husband was a hot sweaty mess and kept having to wipe the sweat in between bites. No joke. Nobody ever offered to turn on more airconditioning or those fans. The aguas frescas (tamarind and passion fruit) were the best part of this meal. Our server was obviously new and/or not trained as we had to keep getting her attention. My husband can go back if he wants but I for sure will not...
