   Amazing food - don’t recommend the alcohol pairing as you don’t get much each course - very family style ambience for dinner - lunch setting is better but still well worth the price of 105 per person for 7 courses plus pairing

   I had the pleasure of dining at this charming spot, and I have to say, it was an absolute treat for the senses. The 6-course tasting menu was perfectly balanced, offering a delightful mix of fresh ingredients with bold, traditional Oaxacan flavors. Each dish was expertly crafted, with incredible attention to detail – nothing was too heavy, and everything was served at the perfect temperature. The flavors were vibrant and beautifully executed, especially the roasted eggplant and the dish featuring zucchini flowers, which really stood out for their depth and uniqueness. The desserts were also a highlight, with just the right amount of sweetness – nothing cloying, just a perfect balance. The ambiance of the place is truly special – surrounded by chickens, roosters, and their chicks, creating a very authentic and homely feel (in tribute to the restaurant’s name). What made it even more perfect for us? It’s pet-friendly, so we didn’t have to leave our furry friend behind. Definitely a must-visit – highly recommend you go without hesitation!

   Does not live up to reputation or reviews. Pork tacos were very dry and all dishes were average

   The food is excellent and very well presented. The wait staff is very attentive. However, the only choice is the fixed-price menu, which is around $80pp w/o drinks and around $100 with. If you are a couple, it is best to get one order with and the other without drinks, as the quantities are ample. Great food, but definitely a splurge and not for everyday dining.

    While all dishes were pleasing visually, I felt that there were just so many and perhaps too many flavors on one plate ? After a bite or two , it was just too many flavors and made me want something more simple somewhere during the dinner ! Must every dish be a showcase for how many ingredients one can put in a dish ? The desserts were repetitous - the gelled raspberry jam in both was off putting , let alone the room temp soupy one .. I was so excited to eat here but left me less so . It seems to be the new thought that every dish is a featured dish but with so many flavors it left me wanting for food that celebrated the the main ingredient instead of covering it up with too many ingredients that stole the show ! Such as the beef was beyond beautiful but was covered up in a myriad ways as if one were hiding an ill prepared meat ! Showboating it seems to me !
