7.5 or maybe 8. Amazing. Veggie tlyaudia was favorite, mole enchilada was nice and light, mahi tacos were great and filling, queso fundido was solid

Incredible Oaxan food, loved the queso fundido and mole! Saved and can’t wait to come back.

We weren't planning on going here but changed our mind mid way and I'm happy that we did. The service was excellent, the food was good and the mezcals were mind-blowing We joined the donaji mezcal club because why not, it's a pretty awesome concept and I'm not saying no to another shot of mezcal. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting SFvisiting. Note: The quantities are good so be careful about ordering too much food. One entre is pretty filling for one person

The food was absolutely delicious - closest thing to authentic in the city. Honestly I don’t know the last time I had mole that good. The drinks were also very well made.

Amazing place, incredibly unique and delicious food, the tacos are insane, I had the Tlayuda oaxaca, incredible, I also had the dried ground up crickets that were delicious, and their chili oil is fantastic, really nice staff, very personable, Lupe is a gem. Insider tip: get a Mezcal bingo card.

This vendor has been a long time favorite of my back in the Bentocart days. But haven't been to the restaurant until yesterday. I had my all-time favorite Pozole Verde, in addition to a spicy margarita, and salsa Guacamole and chips. Then it was coconut ice-cream and churro to end the meal. I had a great time and I can't wait to return.

Food was not great. Service was unusual- order of dishes a bit chaotic and taking food before done eating

I really wanted to like their food but it just wasn’t for me. The presentation was amazing, the host was super friendly and helpful and the overall ambience of the place was great.
First I learned the pronunciation of Donaji, a Oaxacan Princess, is (doh na hee).
A friend and I had margueritas: he had the Coco, and I had the Cadillac. Both drinks were delicious. There was no G4 Reposado, so they graciously swapped in another delicious, smokey Reposado.
We split a Mercado Ensalade, and there was plenty to split. The greens and oranges were fresh, and the pickled onions and hibiscus vinaigrette were just the right combination of sweet and sour.
He had the mole chicken enchiladas with a side serving of rice to ensure all the delicious mole was eaten. The combination of 26 ingredients blended to mole perfection was made for a flavor packed entree. I don't like mole, so I ordered the Mole Rojo Spare Ribs, without the mole sauce with a side of refried beans. What came to the table was the delicious Mole Rojo 1/4 chicken, without the mole sauce. I let them know I had ordered the Spare Ribs, and they apologized for the error, and said it would take a few minutes. I hated the thought that the chicken would go to waste and I decided to keep the different protein. I enjoyed a perfectly cooked piece of chicken, with a wonderfully spiced crispy skin with a small portion of pickled vegetables.
When our waiter returned with the dessert menus, he also brought two complimentary shots of Mezcal, orange slices an Tajin spice. The waiter again apologized for the order mix up. The smokey Mezcal was very smooth, and the orange slice and Tajin spice really elevated the taste.
We split the Churro Donut with warm chocolate sauce. Again, like all the other food, the churro was perfectly crisp and without any deep fried oily-ness. We struggled to use all the silky smooth, pourable chocolate sauce!
We both felt <$60/ person without tip was reasonable for the quality. At 6 PM parking in yellow loading zones on 24th Street was readily available. On a Wednesday night a DJ started to mix at around 8:45 PM. The DJ was experimenting with the sound volumes and eventually got it right, so conversation could be said & heard across the table.
This is definitely a place I'd recommend to friends and family.
Definitely a place to return to

Food was great. Service was good. Noise level was fine until the DJ showed up. I don't have an issue with having a DJ but why does it have to be so loud that you can't even hear the person talking right next to you - it's not a dance party, it's a restaurant where people are eating and chatting. They said they have the DJ on Wednesdays and Thursdays FYI.

Nice, but could have been better. Needs broader menu, and real highlights need to be better emphasized. People come here to sample authentic Oaxacan food, so the menu and food selections should bring that out more and differentiate better from your standard Mexican restaurant. Service could have been more attentive, although would have been forgiven if the menu lived up to expectations.

delicious from first sip of excellent Cadillac margaritas to last bite of chocolate goodness and fruit especiale dessert. COMO SIEMPRE!

Really good chicken mole enchiladas. The mole is a bit spicy and sweet. I do wish they came with rice. Had a reservation for two outside but was able to get seated inside with no problem.
