Our Story The goal – to guarantee a wonderful meal with authentic cuisine and fabulous margaritas, serve over 50 artisanal and ancestral mezcals, and over 100 different types of tequila brands in a vibrant unique atmosphere that boasts excellent service. Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine opened in Astoria in 2021 with such a wonderful and successful home run that a second location opened in Patchogue in March 2022. Ruta Oaxaca means “Road to Oaxaca,” a historic state in the southern part of Mexico. Mr. Castillo and his Partners are keenly focused on honoring Oaxacan culinary traditions, whose fame is derived in great part from its many varieties of moles. By legend, these ancient recipes are more than sauces, they are the very focus of the meal.

    Everything was perfect. Didn’t even intend to say it was my significant other’s birthday but it spilled out after a couple drinks and the wait staff came through with singing to her and delivering her dessert for us both. Fine experience

    By far the best Greek restaurant ever in NYC. The food was amazing and the service OMG! ….excellent. The music or DJ was spectacular, it opens your senses to the food. It was a little bit to loud, but at the end it didn’t matter too much as everything was “Perfect”.
