Rural-inspired dishes

This spring you’ll find unique flavors from the great diversity of ingredients found in each of the 8 regions of Oaxaca. Mainly from the Sierra Sur, but above all from the community that inspires us; San Mateo Yucutindoó, where the fields are largely free of pesticides and native ingredients and wild crops are grown with natural rainwater irrigation, meaning that much of our produce comes in its purest state.

In each dish we proudly express our gastronomic singularity and cultural heritage using ancestral techniques and numerous types of corn, chilies, seeds, tomatoes, herbs, mushrooms, and pumpkins.

Enjoy!

Menu

A proposal rooted in the culinary habits of the Sierra and other distant corners of the state of Oaxaca.

In this place each dish is given the same value and none is less important when eating; because each technique and ingredient has its own rich history.

As in the towns of Oaxaca, a good meal would not exist without a real tortilla, a spicy salsa or some well-seasoned beans.

Here everything is carefully curated to enhance the experience of a good table.
