I had a 6:30 p.m. reservation, but the experience was disappointing due to poor organization and long wait times.
We waited about 8 minutes at the entrance without being offered water or any basic attention. Water was only provided right before we were seated.
The wait times were excessive throughout the meal. The appetizer took 20–25 minutes, and the main course took 30–45 minutes. There was a clear lack of coordination between the kitchen and the service staff, and no one communicated the delays until the food was already being served.
The Paloma I ordered was extremely light — it tasted like grapefruit water rather than a proper cocktail.
On a positive note, our waiter was excellent: very kind, friendly, and attentive. The food was good, but the long wait times were disappointing and overshadowed the experience.
The restaurant has potential, but it needs serious improvement in service timing and overall coordination.

Went for our anniversary, had a reservation for a booth and anniversary. When we arrived hostess was unsure where to place us and made us sit to wait for a table to be cleaned with only a couple tables occupied at the time. Once we got a table ordered drinks and appetizers. Highlights of the night, appetizers and specialty drinks. Ceviche and their tostada chips are excellent. Be aware that you get what you pay for and nothing else. Chips and salsa had to be ordered, extra chips were charged. Main courses we got their taco Tuesday tacos, salmon & coconut pistachio mole, and birria tacos. Portions are generous for meat and size. Our salmon was overcooked and the mole was cold. My partner wished she hadn’t broken her rule on not ordering salmon/chicken at restaurants. Our tacos and birria were tasty but the texture of the meat were overcooked by a hint and made the birria a little grainy. Finishing the night with complimentary coffee tres leches cake on account of our anniversary was a thankful surprise. The cake was overcooked ending up in a chewy texture.

I think this is our new favorite place in Atlanta. All of the dishes are amazing particularly for a vegetarian. You have to check out the hot cakes. The waitress and manager were also wonderful. I recommend this restaurant across all categories

This place is so excellent. I took a party of 8 to dinner for my husband's 40th birthday here recently and I was impressed through and through. The service was so friendly and attentive. Dinner - each dish was so well and authentically crafted and well executed, and each bite was so impressive. The restaurant also served complimentary cocktails that we enjoyed, but all the cocktails were well mixed. The desserts were amazing - tres leches was good, but churros were incredible. We will be back for more.

WOW... A really nice change of pace for a Mexican restaurant. Not the same old thing, get ready for a taste explosion of realness!
We absolutely loved our meal last night - truly one of the best in a long while. It was our first visit and felt like the trendy upscale restaurants in Mexico City. The herb guacamole was outstanding, and the carne asada was cooked perfectly. We also tried the bacon steak tacos and the burrito de langostinos which were also good. The drinks and service were also great. We look forward to coming back.

We had our work Christmas party here. Most of the ppl are Spanish speakers. Then there were 4 blk ppl. (Me being 1 of them) we black ppl sat together on one end of the table and all the Hispanics filled the rest of the table. We ordered our food first, but we were last to get our food. And when I say LAST I mean everyone was DONE eating and had their leftover in to-go boxes before we even got our meals. So we got all of our food to-go and left as soon as it arrived. We didn't sit there and wait for them. They were chatting up a storm at that end of the table, which is fine. But I dont know why they got everything they wanted and needed.. but it took an hour for us to get our 4 drinks, and 2.5 hours to get our food. We got there at 1130, and ordered our food at 12. We didn't get our food until 230.

Besides the really good food what sets Oaxaca apart is the absolutely best and caring service, location, the ambience and stress free, free parking.
