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.

Tierra del Sol is a restaurant that takes its name from the Mixtec song, a melody that has become an Oaxacan hymn.Just like that nostalgic song, this place celebrates in its own way the culture of an exceptional people: the Mixtec or ñuu savi; the first does it with her poetry and the second with her food.Our chef: Olga Cabrera, cook, is the architect of such gastronomic praise, and she achieves it from the knowledge and respect for an ancient cuisine that she inherited from the women of her family and her community, Huajuapan – in the heart of the Mixteca region of Oaxaca -, a knowledge that seasons with his special passion for traditional dishes.

    I don’t understand why this restaurant wasn’t packed. The food and price point are excellent. We met the owner and his wife, the chef. They are charming and excellent guides to the cuisine. We found the indoor seating to be airy, yet warm and quiet, which we preferred to being upstairs on an open balcony in February. Their speciality is the moles, all seven of which are offered, and we finished every bit of the two that we were given with our dishes. The watercress salad had the most awesome local tomatoes (in February, no less). Dessert for us was an amazing chocolate layer cake with buttercream and chocolate mousse in each layer, studded with truffles. With a tad of syrup the cake would have been perfect. It was a touch dry. My only comment was that we arrived early in the evening and communication with staff was hard, because we didn’t speak spanish well. In about 15 minutes a native english speaking server was on the scene, who would have solved our issue. Highly recommended
