Traditional Mexican
Zandunga comenzó en la barra de la cocina, en la sala, el comedor o en el patio, donde la gente llegaba a disfrutar los fines de semana de garnachas y platillos elaborados por Aurora Toledo. En 2002 abrió formalmente sus puertas como restaurante. Hoy en día cuanta con dos restaurantes Zandunga Sabor Istmeño y La Zandunguera donde su compromiso es otorgar a la gastronomía istmeña el lugar que se merece; una de las mejores cocinas del estado de Oaxaca. El patio principal es acogedor, los salones son especiales para momentos inolvidables y la Mezcaleria es una de las mejores selecciones de mezcales de la ciudad

    We were starved for fresh greens we could trust eating in Oaxaca. They have the best salads and roasted vegetables. The tamales were heavenly. Everything was perfect. We ended our meal with homemade ice cream. It was the best!

    We were the only people in the restaurant. We were seated and waited for 15 min to have someone take our order. Servers saw us waiting but continued talking to each other. After not even having our drink order taken, we walked out.

    Great ambience, lovely food, we really enjoyed our experience. We gave only three stars for the staff because they weren’t very friendly and brought absolutely everything all at once, Giving us some time to enjoy the delicious food would be much better! Thanks !

    Beautiful location. The service was awful. Server brought all courses at the same time and then ignored us until we needed the check. The food was absolutely reheated in a microwave. The portions were tiny. Not a good experience at all.

    My wife had a delicious chicken soup, like a consommé, which came with a number of add ons. She also had fish of the day, which was nicely seasoned -- came with sweet potato, pickled vegetables -- some of which were too hot for her -- and a mild tomato sauce. I had pico de gallo, which was quite good and filling with small scrimp added. I also ordered the house chicken which was nicely served, and almost enough to share. In fact, I couldn't quite finish my meal although I did enjoy it. The service was excellent.

    Fui porque hace 5 años había ido al restaurante y tuve una muy buena experiencia, sin embargo para la cena de año nuevo, la sopa fría, el conejo en barbacoa soso y lo único bueno el postre.

    Los alimentos son buenos. Tal vez de lo mejor que hay en el área, nosotros pedimos un tamal y el cochito ahumado. Lo que mata al lugar es el PÉSIMO servicio que tienen cuando comienzan a tener demasiados comensales. Después de los platillo estuvimos 35 minutos sin que nadie se acercara a retirar los platos, estos sucedió hasta que nos levantamos de la mesa para pedirle a la persona que estaba en la entrada que alguien se acerara a la mesa. Pedimos postre y 30 minutos después no llegaba el postre por lo que decidimos mejor pedir la cuenta, para nuestra sorpresa nos trajeron el postre junto con la cuenta. En general, una buena experiencia de alimentos se vio opacada por un servicio terrible. Definitivamente no recomiendo este lugar.

    Luger bueno, buen espacio. La comida muy buena. Las bebidas fue lo que nos decepcionó bastante. La calidad digamos 7.5 de 10 y el tiempo de entrega horrible. Pedimos 2 rondas de cocteles. En la primera tardaron 14 minutos y en la segunda 12 minutos. Los chicos por minutos se desaparecían y eso fue lo que nos desagradó un poco. El precio de coctelería no es muy barato que digamos, así que esperábamos algo mejor.

    Schöne Umgebung und interessante Speisekarte. Wir waren zu viert und sehr zufrieden mit dem pico de gallo als Vorspeise, die Guacamole war nicht außergewöhnlich. Die Hauptspeisen waren in Ordnung doch sehr auf den touristischen Geschmack angepasst. Insgesamt ein netter Abend jedoch ohne Highlights

    La comida está bien. Bastante cara y el lugar bastante apagado. Hay mucho ambiente en la ciudad en general y acá la atmósfera era aburrida. Comí rico pero no regresaría. El servicio no fue el mejor: trajeron una bebida primero, mucho después la otra. Cubiertos también a destiempo, detalles no graves pero que simplemente no hicieron que la experiencia fuera del nivel de los precios del restaurante.
