Tasty Mexican Food

Has a wide variety of Mexican vegan food that’s otherwise often hard to find. Besides the mole everything else also gets a thumbs up.

Would recommend the Mushroom Tacos

Had the Mushroom Tacos and they were very good. Definitely want to come back to try the 7 moles de Oaxaca for 2. Attentive service.

Edit:
Went again two years later and did not disappoint, probably some of the best food we've had in Mexico so far! Lovely staff and vibe.

El lugar está muy bonito y los platillos son espectaculares, los sabores son muy típicos del sur de mexico, como mexicana y ex carnista les aseguro que no tiene nada que envidiarle a los platillos con animales muertos. #Veganuary

Pros: Sabor , Ambiente , Servicio

Awesome Menu

This beautiful restaurant has a very creative menu and the best chocolate de leche I’ve ever had. Everything I’ve tried here from the potato tacos to the moles to the dessert is top notch. I could eat here everyday and try something new.

Pros: Fully vegan , Sweet servers, Beautiful ambiance

Good Food & Cute place

Food was good, but not spectacular. I want to go back and try more things, but overall the vibe and place is cute. The food was decently priced for what you get and I ate every last bit. The presentation is amazing.

Good food

The place looks really nice, the staff is very friendly but it is quite pricey and very small portions. The food tastes good but I expected more by the reviews I’ve read.

Pros: Place, Food, Staff

Cons: Pricey, Lonely

Best food I’ve had in Mexico

It’s for sure a little pricier than anywhere else I’ve eaten, and the portions aren’t very big so I needed to order two dishes to feel full (but this did mean I got to try more amazing food). However, if you want a really special vegan meal then I don’t think you should miss this place. The almond mole was absolutely delicious. By far the best meal I’ve eaten in Mexico (in 5 weeks of being here). I would come back at literally any excuse.

Pros: Beautiful presentation , Amazing menu - I wish I could try it everything, Lovely setting

Excellent food in a lovely space

Hierba Dulce is an instant favorite. A slow-food restaurant servicing freshly made Oaxacan delicacies, all plant-based, with emphasis on local ingredients.

The enmoladas are exquisite. The mushroom
pibil tacos are tasty. And the “stew” is surprisingly delicious and unique. Don’t miss the almond-milk horchata.

The ambience is very pleasant, with both an elegant indoor dining room and a charming courtyard. Service is warm and helpful, and both Spanish and English are spoken.

After trying most of the vegan places in town, Hierba Dulce is our fave for traditional Oaxacan cuisine, and a favorite overall.

Highly recommended. Enjoy!

Amazing food, great atmosphere

All the food (Ceviche, Pibil mushrooms) and drinks (Tepache, Fruta Colada, Chocolate Oaxaqueño, soda natural) we had were delicious! The location is beautiful and the staff friendly! Definitely highly recommended!

Authentic de-industrialized cuisine

I specially loved Falso Papadzul a Yucatan dish with a creamy pumpkin seeds sauce it was delicious and Sopa de guías a very traditional simple and comfy Oaxacan soup. If you love chocolate you can't miss their mousse. They also have an interesting cocktail menu but I didn't try any. Is the best WFPB I ever had (so far) they really understand how to handle each herb. The only restaurant in Oaxaca I visited twice and I want to go again because they have so much to offer.

Pros: Excellent service

Cons: They don't offer breakfast!!

Delicious Vegan Food

I ordered the enchiladas and my friend got the mushroom adobo tacos. Both dishes were full of flavor! We arrive around 8:30pm and there was no wait and the service was very good.

Awesome food, cocktail & service!

We had the tropical cocktail (sweet but oh so good) and the Oaxaqueño (awesome). We had the Sikil P´aak as an entree - very good but so spicy. We then had the almond mole (a tad spicy) and the tlayuda. The mole was to die for. The tlayuda was nothing special but I think that’s just how the dish is lol. The food, ambiance, drinks and service was amazing.

Pros: Lots of options to choose from, Amazing cocktails, Fantastic presentation

Cons: Spiciness of the food we had

Next level

If you can only visit one place in Oaxaca, let it be hierba dulce. This place is authentic, affordable and suuuuper tasty. We had enchiladas and mole verde and we definitely will be back. The drinks are also another level. Just something special. Must try.

Pros: Tasty and original food, Fair prices , Beautiful interiors

Next level experience in Mexico

This is a must have experience in Oaxaca.
Gourmet meets with local cuisine.
If you try just one restaurant, this is it.
Best value/price in whole Mexico.

Necesario reservar

Muy buen lugar! Es muy lindo y el menú todo se ve deliciso. En lo personal sentí que le faltó un poquito de sabor a la comida, pero eso no hizo q volviera, aunq no tenía reserva y como la cocina cerraba no me atendieron😒eso no me gustó (llegue 8:10 y cierran 9) pero en general muy rico

Pros: Comida tradicional, Postres buenos

Cons: Necesario reservar, No tanto sazón

Excellent Ambience

These feels like a very high end restaurant: beautiful decor and presentation. The food was good and well priced, but the flavors didn’t blow me away.
