About the restaurant

Restaurante Casona Sforza abraza un concepto de hospitalidad donde el confort y la elegancia se conjugan en un entorno donde la naturaleza y el diseño estimulan los sentidos.
A cargo de los chefs Andrés Trujillo y Vanessa Franco.
Este nuevo capítulo gastronómico se ha concebido a partir de un auténtico compromiso con la sustentabilidad y el empleo de las más depuradas técnicas de preparación para rendir un homenaje a las bondades del mar y la tierra, al tiempo que se resalta una cocina sincera con la premisa de comer rico y con el producto de la mejor calidad.
La pesca del día, mejillones, pastas frescas y ensaladas son algunas de las opciones del menú principal.
La panadería y la repostería, que se suman a la propuesta culinaria, aportan un toque inédito, pues en la mañana se puede disfrutar de bizcochos que salen de su propio horno, mientras que por la tarde se dispone de postres que cuentan con técnicas refinadas y en los que incorporan mango, mamey y chocol

Amazing, all in all. Pasta and risotto cooked to perfection with very intense and distinct flavors. Our highlight was the semi frozen mango dessert.

Our best meal in Huatulco. The view is great, the food is sophisticated but approachable and great cocktails. They were able to accommodate my partner’s allergies. The burrada dish was a highlight. Amazing live music, too. Omar was a terrific server. 7 drinks, 2 appetizers, 2 mains and a dessert for around $150 Canadian. We will be back.

About the restaurant

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.

Marvelous place in city centro. Roof terrazza is wonderful with a view of the church. Food was outstanding. It rained but the covered portion was completely dry. Highly recommended! A place not to be missed.

Food was fantastic. Drinks were really nice. Loved the saké, however would have loved to have see more locally produced, preferably low intervention/ natural local wine. Setting was very unique. Service was great. Only piece of major feedback would be to improve the music. My partner and I were shocked to hear such a seemingly unthought through, basic, and random playlist whilst eating such a beautifully curated, elevated menu in such an elegant setting. For us it really cheapened the whole evening and felt totally dissonant and incongruous with this outstanding culinary experience in the middle of a stunning remote location.

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.

I cannot recommend Tierra Del Sol enough. Especially if you get a seat on the roof deck. Great food, impeccable service, perfect drinks, and great view. Make reservations and go!

Restaurant 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.

Great restaurant...many steps to reach the rooftop dining area, but worth it for the view and the coolness of the evening. BUT...if you can't climb a circular staircase and many stairs, select a different restaurant.Very loud music came from a neighborhood bar, but it is in the middle of a loud city, so it was to be expected. Food is great! Staff is very nice, service is slow, but the food is worth the wait.

The food was so good, very strong and distinctive flavors. I’d prefer the portions to be smaller so I could have tried more dishes (solo diner).
