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.

In addition to our culinary offerings, we boast a varied selection of beverages that will delight even the most discerning palates.

Very quiet place, servers are friendly upon arrival. They answer every question I had and knowledgeable regarding the origins of certain dishes. The mole tasting is a must, sample all 7 and then choose the one you prefer to order a dish.

Had a lovely bday dinner here. Great view from the terrace and the staff is great. My short rib was a little on the dry side but aside from that it was delicious

Really enjoyed the mole tasting and the explanation provided by our waiter. Food was good - my wife and I had five of the moles between us. She loved the mole with beef tongue.

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.

I had to choose between Pitiona and Los Danzantes. I ended up choosing Pitiona because they didn't require a credit card deposit at the time of reservation. I came here to celebrate my cousin's 60th birthday. It was absolutely perfect: elegant, excellent customer service, refreshing drinks, and an extremely delicious dinner. I got the fish, my cousin got the chicken mole, my husband got the tuna with risotto, and my cousin's wife got steak. The chef sent us a complimentary seafood soup (in a little cup); it was super tasty. Everything we ate was DREAMY. We will visit them again if we go back to the historic center of Oaxaca. If I could give it more stars I would. DELICIOSO!
