Unbelievable meal. Fine dining in flip flops (in a good way). Amazing service, exceptional food and very reasonably priced. Our favorite restaurant of the trip.

About the restaurant

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.

The food was nothing short of excellent — every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The overall service was prompt and well-organized, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. However, one unfortunate moment stood out: our main server appeared to disregard our table after the initial order was placed, showing noticeably more attention and courtesy to other patrons. Whether intentional or not, it was hard not to feel that we were being overlooked — and sadly, it seemed based more on appearance than anything else. While the rest of the staff more than made up for it, and the server who brought our food even went back to get props to explain everything that went into our meal. we left happy with the meal, however the experience was a reminder of how important it is for hospitality to feel inclusive for all guests.

Nos encontramos a 15 minutos del centro histórico.

Un lugar para abandonarse en los sencillos y cotidianos placeres de la buena mesa. Los diferentes espacios juegan con la luz al tono que tu ánimo elige: un soleado jardín, un cobertizo acogedor, una sombreada pérgola.

Fantastic. Same chef as the one in El Centro but much easier to get last minute reservation. Menu is slightly different than the other one, but everything was five stars all the way. Amazing service and food. I must try if you can’t get into the other one.

About the restaurant

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 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.

Featured in the VIX program AL CHILE. Traditional Oaxaqueño cuisine. It is very good and I recommend visiting for lunch. Also check out the roof top bar area.
