Tierra del sol
Price: Expensive•Traditional Mexican•4.5(395)Tierra del Sol is a restaurant that takes its name from the Mixtec song, a melody that has become an Oaxacan hymn.
Just like that nostalgic song, this place celebrates in its own way the culture of an exceptional people: the Mixtec or ñuu savi; the first does it with her poetry and the second with her food.
Our chef: Olga Cabrera, cook, is the architect of such gastronomic praise, and she achieves it from the knowledge and respect for an ancient cuisine that she inherited from the women of her family and her community, Huajuapan – in the heart of the Mixteca region of Oaxaca -, a knowledge that seasons with his special passion for traditional dishes.Casa Oaxaca El Restaurante
Price: Very Expensive•Regional Mexican•4.6(1,416)Aquí, un ritmo animado acompaña la transparencia de luz que hace vibrar los colores. La sutileza de lo esencial subraya el poder evocador de los olores y sabores que surgen de la cocina de Alejandro Ruiz.
Se mezclan los aromas y los sabores de hierbas mediterráneas con las oaxaqueñas. Así, la albahaca y el romero comparten sus tintes con la hoja santa, la pitiona y el shorobobo. Asimismo, granada, pescados y mariscos, venado y cordero alternan con chapulines, huitlacoche y quesillo.
Cinco sentidos influenciados por una extraordinaria vivencia gastronómica.

- CChrisAtlanta •1 review4.0Dined on May 7, 2025Restaurant was very good—excellent food and presentation. Lovely views from the top deck. Staff very attentive and helpful. Service was prompt and polite. Only drawback was being seated next to a large and loud mezcal tasting party, but the staff did give us a different table on request. One note: many steep flights of stairs(like all over Oaxaca), a challenge for older or less agile customers.More infoPitiona Cocina de AutorPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Oaxaca•4.4
- 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
