• Great Mex-Italian!

I've been here a number of times, since it is pretty hard to find clearly-marked vegan food in Oaxaca (and some places don't understand what vegan means--like when your 'sandwich vegano' comes out with cheese). The menu here has a number of items clearly marked as vegan including a whole page dedicated to it. I believe the menu changes occasionally, but some favorites of late (all vegan) are: Ensalada vegano: Just a great salad. Has tofu and nuts and cranberries Bruschetta: fantastic european style grilled bread with a delicious topping of tomatoes olive oil and basil Lentil soup: just delicious soup served with the same great bread Entomatadas de Tofu: sort of like chilaquilas with tortillas and tofu in a tomato sauce Taquitos: soy-chorizo in fried taquitos with a sauce, and served with fries Seitan in Mole sauce. Many other items, including a great cous cous, veggie burger, and vegan pasta bolognese. The prices are moderate for here (cheap for US) with prices about $80-120 (MXP) for entrees. The owner (who is very friendly and attentive) eats vegetarian, but the restaurant does serve meat. One other note on the owner-when a hungry stray dog wandered into the restaurant, he politely asked it to leave, and then gave it some food outside. Also, when workers were making noise outside on the street during dinner--instead of asking them to quiet down or being angry, he gave them free coffee and complemented them on the work. It's nice to support people who are genuinely kind and care about animals.
