- LLanaSpain •6 reviews5.0Dined on Apr 23, 2025We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and while we felt somewhat rushed at the beginning of the evening (meal was served within 15 minutes of sitting down and dessert came out immediately following the plate clearing), the restaurant and serving staff were lovely. A beautiful, quiet setting and the fantastic flavours in the entrees were enjoyed. Complimentary appetizers and birthday cake to share were a very nice touch as well.More infoZandunga sabor istmeñoPrice: Expensive• Traditional Mexican• Oaxaca•4.4
