Claro is a restaurant known for its cocktails, including the frozen and claro/oscuro milk punch. It features a small, intimate dining space with an organic Oaxacan vibe. The tuna tostada and garnachas de venado are standout dishes, while the bone marrow mole and duck mole receive high praise for their delicious and thoughtful preparation. The chocolate mole cake is a must-try dessert, and the mezcal gelato offers a sweet and mild smoke aftertaste. The mezcal menu is focused on unique options, so it is good to be aware of it if looking for something else. Reservations may be needed, as it can be a popular spot. The atmosphere, both inside and in the backyard, is nice, and the staff is extremely friendly, creating a welcoming environment. However, some customers have mentioned that the portions can be surprisingly small for the price, and the starters like guacamole and salsa are seen as uncreative and underwhelming. The restaurant is also a great choice for those with dietary restrictions, as the chef is celiac and ensures everything is gluten-free. Overall, Claro is an excellent restaurant experience that is highly recommended for anyone seeking phenomenal Oaxacan food, especially if they appreciate a good drink and a beautiful bar design.
