Great vibe in this place and some of the best mole in town. The Enmoladas De Pollo is a great mole sampler and one of my favorite dishes of any restaurant around.

My favorite Mexican food in Austin!Amazing and interesting Mexican cuisine! Delicious cocktails. Pull style queso is bomb. The huitlacoche with cumin seasoned cashew butter appetizer is out of this world. Mezcal and ghost pepper martini.Must try

Amazing authentic Oaxacan restaurant! We went for happy hour / dinner, and it was sooo tasty.We got a few things to share off the HH menu (memelas and arroz Frito con huitachoche.) For dinner, we got the ceviche (which I’m still dreaming of), queso fondido, mole with duck and tres leches. Honestly everything was phenomenal. I can’t wait to go back — I highly recommend!Don’t sleep on the margs - they were delish. The mezcal menu is the most extensive one I’ve seen in Austin.Service was very attentive and the atmosphere is cute. Glad they turned this space into a great spot.

I loved Enoteca, the restaurant that came before this, but since it's all by the same people, I was excited (although a little trepidatious) to give it a try. I really liked it! It is expensive, but not egregiously so, to me. I don't go to South Congress to pinch pennies. I liked my drink even though I don't normally like mezcal. I loved the aguachile. It felt creative, upscale, and exciting. It does not give me the sense that they're really going for average home style Oaxacan authenticity, which is fine. I also tried the spiced chocolate cake, and while I don't think it's something I'll crave, I did enjoy it. It was interesting and memorable.

Wonderful happy hour menu. I recommend the mango chamoy margarita and mamelas de rajas con nopal. Service was very nice and ambiance was colorful and reminded me of my many travels to Mexico.
