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

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.

An exceptional culinary experience by a Chef-Sommelier couple, Luis Pabón & Gaby Moreno featuring seasonal dishes and natural wine.
The seven-courses tasting menu emphasizes local, seasonal ingredients and a masterful natural wine pairing (with local beer and mezcal thrown in).
Prepare for a memorable meal in a beautiful space that is open to the surrounding tropical forest and sky.

4-courses tasting menu and A la carte is also available.

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!

About the restaurant

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.

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.

En Metxcalli nuestra inspiración es Oaxaca, multifacética y vibrante, que nos transporta a un viaje de infinitos aromas y sabores que activa nuestros cinco sentidos y evoca la grandeza de los mercados, la complejidad de sus mezcales y pluralismo de la cultura e identidad.
Nacido en costas oaxaqueñas, el Chef Gerson Madrid experimenta y plasma los colores de los sabores tradicionales, cual pintor a su lienzo y los caracteriza por trazos gruesos de contemporaneidad, llevándonos a través de una aventura de sabores que cuentan con personalidad propia, que nos evocan a nuestra tierra, a nuestra cocina al sur de Oaxaca y a nuestro propio hogar.
A lo largo de su trayectoria, el Chef ha recorrido la republica en busca de sazones y vivencias que complementan la experiencia Metxcalli.

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).
