About Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine

Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine is a new gem in the neighborhood, offering authentic Oaxacan cuisine that stands out from the typical Mexican fare in the area. Despite not having a liquor license yet, the food speaks for itself. Generous portions and flavorful mole sauce make dishes like shrimp flautas, fish tacos, and eggs oaxaquenos a must-try. The menu also includes unique items like pork ribs, mole enchiladas, and shrimp flautas with deep-fried jalapeno peppers. The brunch menu is outstanding, with flavors spot on and generous, satisfying portions. Steak quesadillas may look more like tacos, but the well-seasoned steak makes up for it. While the service may be a bit eager and inexperienced, the delicious churros and tres leches cake make it worth a visit. The veggie empanada is super filling and satisfying without feeling guilty. The staff is knowledgeable and polite, and the interior has a bright, clean look. The staff is warm, attentive, and friendly, making kids feel welcome and leave well-fed. The cocktails are delightful, especially the Amante Picante and Orale.
