Our Story
The goal – to guarantee a wonderful meal with authentic cuisine and fabulous margaritas, serve over 50 artisanal and ancestral mezcals, and over 100 different types of tequila brands in a vibrant unique atmosphere that boasts excellent service. Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine opened in Astoria in 2021 with such a wonderful and successful home run that a second location opened in Patchogue in March 2022.

Ruta Oaxaca means “Road to Oaxaca,” a historic state in the southern part of Mexico. Mr. Castillo and his Partners are keenly focused on honoring Oaxacan culinary traditions, whose fame is derived in great part from its many varieties of moles. By legend, these ancient recipes are more than sauces, they are the very focus of the meal. Ruta Oaxaca proudly features four moles, each prepared using the Oaxacan mole recipes that have made the cuisine world famous.

    This is one of my favorite Mexican spots on Long Island and their outdoor patio is officially open for the season. We started with a frozen margarita flight and loaded nachos. For entrées, the salmon with their signature mole was unreal and the chicken tortilla pie was packed with flavor. And do not skip dessert! The cornbread tres leches and coffee flan were both incredible. The vibe here is everything, and they have live mariachi on Friday nights and special events. If you’re going out for Long Island Restaurant Week, they offer a prix fixe menu with options like their chicken buñuelos, enchiladas, tacos, and of course desserts like tres leches and flan.  For Cinco de Mayo, they go all out with live mariachi, tequila and mezcal tastings, and a full day of food, drinks, and music.  And for Mother’s Day, they host a special brunch experience with live mariachi and a full menu in a really fun atmosphere.  They have two Long Island location in Patchogue and Woodbury as we as Brooklyn and Astoria. (We visited the Patchogue location.) 📍 Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine

    It’s officially margarita tree on the outdoor patio season on Long Island 🍹🌸 Ruta Oaxaca is one of those spots that just hits different when the weather gets nice. The margarita tree flight on their outdoor patio is a MUST! 🍹🌺 They’re known for authentic Oaxacan-style dishes like tacos, fresh guac, enchiladas, and their signature moles, plus a huge tequila & mezcal selection. Perfect for a girls night, date night, or just because you want to sip margaritas outside again 💃🏻 🍹 ☀️ Send this to who you’re going and sharing a margarita tree with 🍹 Ruta Oaxaca 📍 Patchogue, NY

    Food was delicious. The service was really good, from the server to I think manager or owner who was going around making sure everyone was doing well and even gave us free shots. They had a mariachi band which was great, and even took requests. Had such a good girls night there. Drinks were on point too. Pleasently surprised with this place !

    Very expensive there were no specials. Tables very tight next to one another, the place was empty, but another couple was sat right next to us. Service was slow to take order, to clean up dirty plates. Food was good smaller portions than expected.
