La Flor de Oaxaca - OAXACA DE JUÁREZ

The food was good enough, though far from the best Oaxacan food we have had during a 10 day stay. BUT THEY DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS AND VERY RELUCTANTLY TOOK DOLLARS (at only 10 pesos per dollar). There was no advance notice of either....Unless you have pesos readily at hand, AVOID THIS PLACE. You are barely welcome. On the plus side the staff were competent, pleasant, and professional everything the management is NOT.

We went for lunch, after walking about the city all morning. We were shown to our table by a very correct waiter, and found ourselves to be the only gringos there. We ordered freshly-made fruit and vegetable juices to start, both of which were very...nice. I ordered the beef tongue, meltingly rich, with a piquant, tangy salsa verde, and my partner had the mole amarillo with chicken. Both dishes were accompanied by a delicious rice. We also split an order of the Oaxacan tamale, which was delicious, wrapped in a banana leaf which flavored the tamale with a slight smokiness, and was filled with a rich, slightly sweet mole and meat. Very nice, moist, rico! We finished with a couple of cafes de la olla. Service was impeccable. We will definitely return.

This food is very delicious and the price is affordable. The enfrijoladas is corn tortillas dipped in ground bean on the side served with a piece of grilled meat tasajo. On top of the enfijoladas are sliced onions and fresh cheese. This is one of the delicious dish we recommend the enfrijoladas. I will comeback to this place with my family and friends.

Un lugar muy tranquilo para comer, la atención es excelente y los precios son muy buenos, mis hijos y yo quedamos muy satisfechos con el servicio y la comida, sin duda es un lugar al que volveremos con frecuencia.

Excellent service and perfect Mexican taste the ideal place to eat
