   Our go-to for brunch on Mother's Day - definitely a great place to go for drinks and food - has a delightful outdoor space.

   The noise level made it difficult to carry on conversations. Perhaps adding some sound pads could help?

   Food is not Oaxaca authentic. Pozole does not taste like the real Mexican pozole, not even close. They add cheese to every dish!!

   Just not enjoyable. Had outdoor seating - basically picnic tables - not comfortable at all. Music was blaring and I mean blaring. Asked to have it turned down as you couldn't talk to the person across from you - staff seemed offended by the request and moved the speaker down the bar, but then proceeded to turn it back up. Food was ok - but didn't have much flavor or kick. Tacos were tiny and the asada was dry. Across the board, just wasn't that great.

    The food and service are terrific. Great margaritas, great tacos, great ceviche! But it’s so loud on the patio you can’t hear yourself, much less your dining companions.

    Loved Casa Oaxaca. We went for my teenage son's birthday dinner. The outdoor patio was perfect, lovely place to hang out, Nelson (our server) was so attentive and kind, and the food was delicious. Try the cactus tacos! Will definitely go again.

    We ate outdoors on the patio. There was a rain storm and staff quickly brought down flaps as needed so we were dry and protected. So the space was comfortable even in pouring rain. We are vegetarian and there are a few options but the menu is mostly meat. We found enough and enjoyed everything we had from delicious creamy guacamole to interesting tacos and finished with tres leches cake. We had a very attentive waiter as well. Overall a good experience!

    We were a party of 9, outdoor seating. The staff, food and drinks were amazing. We did the pitchers of margaritas and they didn't disappoint. The food came out pretty quick, fresh & hot each time we ordered. Would highly recommend!

    Our margaritas and tacos were stellar. The young woman bussing our table was a little too enthusiastic...we weren't done with the chips (I thought she was bringing more!) and we needed our plates and utensils for our next round of tacos! It was also difficult to get our check at the end of our meal. Otherwise fantastic and will be back!

    We reserved a table for 3 indoors via Open Table and when arrived they said they had no indication for indoors and only had an outdoor table (it was 40f and windy) The patio area was cold and also very loud. We left without having dinner. No apology for the mistake from the staff.

    The service was excellent, the decor great, the food good but not outstanding. The indoor space is very small and noisy, and not well separated from the busy kitchen and storage entrances. Overall it’s a good restaurant but certainly not for a romantic dinner or even more relaxed and calmer conversations.

    Great food- cute vibe-- pleasant servers! The enchiladas with the green and red sauce were amazing. My friend was a vegetarian and they quickly offered to make vegetarian enchiladas for her. We made some special requests, like half Green enchilada sauce and half red and they had no problem with these. The mole sauce which we tried was also delicious. Nice beer selection, my friend had a strawberry mango jalapeño margarita which she enjoyed as well. Tres leches was the best! Nice value too.

    The tacos and ceviche were delicious and service was very good. Noise level, however, makes it very hard to have a conversation indoors. They also need a second women's restroom.

    Great food. Enjoyed the fish ceviche and the tacos and especially the margaritas! My friend had a traditional margarita and I had a mango margarita. We sat in the large tent and while it was quite noisy from boisterous customers it was nice that the tables were nicely spaced and I didn't feel I was dining with the people sitting next to us.

    We arrived for out reservations a bit early but we were seated immediately, the server was very attentive for the most part. We started with the spicy pineapple margarita and classic margarita - both very good, balanced and not too sweet or tart. Then to the food, started with the fish ceviche which was very citrusy tasting and well seasoned. Then on to a feast of tacos (fish, shrimp and chicken), all tasted fresh and filled with plenty of slaw. The star at the table was the birria tacos with consommé. The birria’s (not on the paper menu but just ask for it) very flavorful and I loved the crispy texture of the taco shell…I could drink the consommé - nice beefy flavor and well seasoned. The lively energy music was also a nice touch, I’m looking forward to returning.

    The food was great, the margarita excellent and all the wait staff was very friendly. Just a few notes: the small table we were at in the front of the tent was often forgotten. It took a long time to get our waiter to the table and as other staff breezed by they didn't see us waving at them or calling them. Also, the table was a bit small to hold our dishes for 2 people, it needs to be a bit bigger- too crowded. Finally, the churros were extremely greasy and not edible, but our replacement flan was excellent! All the other food was great, as it has been when we have dined before. Just giving some constructive feedback, we will definitely be back again!

    We picked Casa Oaxaca for a party of 7 50th birthday party. All loved their food selections, I enjoyed the Mescal Mule and they were kind enough to make a fuss over my wife's birthday at dessert - singing over a sparkler-topped ice cream Sunday. Waitstaff was great and prices were, as always, reasonable. Great casual place in Bethesda. (Only beef - the Saturday night crowd was noisy - hard to hear.) Check it out!

    I've been there several times and it has always been good. My favorite dishes are the chili relleno, queso fundido, and the ceviche mixto is fabulous. Lots of varieties of Margaritas and service is friendly and prompt. They also have a great outdoor patio with a bar.
