Guzina Oaxaca

Good service. Food is all right.
We came here for beef tongue tacos but they don’t have it for breakfast. Breakfast overall is not great but not bad either - recommend coming for dinner instead

If you are looking for authentic food in Mexico City, this is it. These folks honor the Oaxaca tradition with incredibly tasty drinks and food, especially the traditional salsa and mole. Highly recommend the squash blossoms, fish of the day with green mole and tamale with pork and brown mole is out of this world. They make the salsa fresh table side. We asked for Mexican spicy level and they delivered. Service is excellent and staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. Eating here feels like becoming a part of history and like you’re part of a family. Highly recommend.

The food was good. We got here before the end of breakfast. I felt rushed to order from the breakfast menu. The prefer was taken at 12:20 and I had to remind the manager about our food. They prepared the food in a rush obviously. If I knew it would taken that long all they had to say was lunch will be a better option. Not coming back. It was highly recommended by our concierge. Too bad my experience wasn’t the best.

Great food with a Oaxacan menu (so it will be slightly different than the average Mexican food, which is good if you’re here for a while). The salsa made in front of your eyes was spicy and flavorful. The pork taquitos melted in our mouth. Ceviche was sweet and peanuty so a great change from the ceviche you’ve had before. Will definitely be back.

Great little place. Had brunch there and we all enjoyed our meals. The cafe de olla was fantastic! The tlayuda was great especially with the chorizo. Lots of good options. Not cheap but not too expensive either. Has indoor and outdoor seating.

Made a reservation here for a Thursday night. It's a small restaurant and they were quite busy. Great service from the hostess to all the wait staff. There's even a person that opens the door that leads to the bathroom hallway. We ordered the meat appetizer which was delicious. The thin cut steak was so flavorful with that beefy roamfree beef. The sausage was good. They made the salsa tableside so it was nice and fresh. We ordered the duck with mole as well. The mole was great, had the depth of flavor you would expect in a good mole. Overall a great experience.

Oaxacan cuisine with a modern interpretation. The quality of the ingredients are authentic and excellent.
We start with a simple salsa made right at the table made from roasted tomatillos and tomatoes. It’s a bit too watery for my liking, but overall very tasty - so much so that we probably ate too much of it that we couldn’t finish the rest of the plates.
The Oaxaca platter to start is like a Oaxacan charcuterie with tons of variety. The chicharron is particularly crispy yet still airy. The quesadilla allows the cheese to really shine through. The cheeses, a stringier kind as well as a grittier kind with jalapeño mixed in, are fresh but maybe a bit overly salted. The grasshoppers are have a fun ting. The slice of roasted pork is textbook perfect, while the stuffed chili with pineapple and meat is awesome with a fun sweet flavor mixed in.
For mains, the octopus is lightly coated with a layer of butter, perfect in terms of texture to yield a soft chewy texture. There isn’t so much an exciting array of flavors, but the textures are quite interesting. The esquites on the side provides an excellent chewy texture with the shells not completely removed.
The duck tamales and mole is done exceptionally well. The duck is very soft and stringy, which is contrasted from a mushy texture that the masa yields. The mole is sweet and flavorful, which goes quite fittingly with the duck. Unfortunately, we were very full by the time we started the tamal that it was almost painful to finish the dish. The portions are huge here.
