Great Oaxacan food, creative chef, beautiful presentation and yummy!! From moles to veggie tacos to grilled meats! Great drinks, very attractive artsy decor. Friendly and caring service!
Sundays from 5 to 8 PM there’s a great DJ in the back room playing salsa, Cumbia, merengue and Bachata with dancers of all levels. Very friendly and no cover charge. There’s also a great happy hour menu every day from 4 PM to 6 PM with drink and food specials at very reasonable prices.

I scarfed my food down too fast to take a picture, but I got the 2 taco plate and it was dope. Def one of the better Mexican food places in Oakland and I don’t know how I’m just discovering this place now. Will def be going back and trying everything else.

we made the mistake of going to a 'Mexican' place in the US the week after coming back from Mexico. Unfair comparison perhaps, but also not, as you can get better Mexican food in Healdsburg in Sonoma than you get here

Really good food and drinks. The memelitas appetizer with carnitas and the passion fruit mexcalita were the highlights. I will definitely go back to try some of their other things.

A little piece of Oaxaca in Oakland. Elnrestaurant Mesa Maguey has tables for couples or large groups. Also, it has a good atmosphere and dance floor for those who enjoy dancing salsa, cumbia, huaracha, rumba and guaguanco with DJ Toc@ritmo and his collection of records from all over Latin America.
Mesa Maguey has a full bar for those who enjoy spirits. And of course there is no shortage of the internationally famous mezcal from Oaxaca.
Fresh waters, orangeades, and sodas for those of us who simply enjoy dancing.
Mesa Maguey offers Oaxacan culinary specialties such as ribs in green mole, red mole, tlayudas, and fish and seafood.
A little corner in Oakland that you have to know.
The employees are very friendly and helpful.
