This was our very first stop in Oaxaca for food. They had a chalk menu on the wall as well as a paper menu, but I was hoping for a vegan "plate of the day". The server at the counter wasn't sure what was vegan that day, but she brought out a manager (or owner, not sure) who was able to share vegan options with us. She created a plate of the day that came with a fancy water (I chose chia with lemon), a soup (vegetable including nopales), a main dish sampler (rice, spaghetti with pesto, and a Oaxacan dish which ended up being a seitan dish), dessert (a flan-type pie), and bread. She offered a few options for the Oaxacan dish in the sampler, but we weren't really sure what anything was and asked for a surprise. The whole meal was relatively healthy and a steal. They also have a little store so you can buy fresh bread, amaranth cookies, chia seeds, and other natural food options.
