Bien vale la pena trasladarse a este restaurante que no es muy céntrico, ya que cuando llegas, el servicio y la comida compensan el viaje (tampoco esta muy lejos). La minilla, los totopos "istmeños" y la posta de robalo al horno, es lo que comí y fue espectacular. El servicio personalizado y muy cálido hacen que te sientas muy bienvenido. Es de lo mejor.

Very safe bet for Oaxacan fair, clean restaurant and the staff are kind and cordial. Wide range of dishes to choose from, fewer vegetarian dishes of course of still a nice selection, compared to what I expect one will find in the rest of Tuxtepec. I was only passing through the city one night, and issued at the hotel where the restaurant is located, in part because reviews were so good for the restaurant and I thought it would make it easier to stay here before leaving first thing in the morning. It did! I just wouldn't rave about the restaurant as though it's an amazing experience in gastronomy. I got the empanadas especiales (plantain dumplings filed with ground meat) to start, three large fried dumplings . They were yummy, though if have liked them better stuffed with traditional beans instead of meat. Rather they were served with a tostada shell filled with beans. This appetizer could easily be an entree. I also got a shrimp plate "al ajo" with garlic, served with rice and a standard iceberg lettuce garnish/salad. It was average, only slightly over cooked and slightly over salted. I've become amused to that in Mexican restaurants, though as a chef myself, won't let folks off the hook for it! The agua de malanga (accompanied by the slow food logo) was delicious, just a little too much sugar! I certainly wouldn't have considered this restaurant a slow food establishment based on the food, but appreciate the Mission of sourcing food from small farmers and preparing local traditional dishes, of which. There 6 or fewer on the menu of about 60 options total.

Good buffet but kind of pricey. The servers bring meat to your table to try. Has private room for parties.
Good service. On buffet has different kinds of salads and soup. Usually have fried Bannans with cheese and cream. This is typical food from Tuxtepec. On the week-ends has live music in Spanish and in English.
