Entirely outdoors, the dining room is a straight-edged work of smooth concrete and a canopy of trees and Edison bulbs stretched over handsome wood tables set with flickering candles. Chirping birds and burning incense add to the romance. Serving only a tasting menu, the kitchen leans on traditional Oaxacan recipes and local ingredients. Dishes like their quesabirria with shrimp, pickled cabbage, and guacamole are on point. Refresh your palate with atole with mango and passionfruit sorbet before an indulgent flourless chocolate cake with ice cream.
