"I visited Maria y su bici for dinner and I had a really good experience. Food was delicious, incredible service and great atmosphere (it feels like a small piece of Oaxaca/Yucatan). Definitely I’d go back to try Queso Relleno."

"Very nice place, must !. The food was really nice but not exceptional compared to some other restaurants I tried. Friendly service and you can taste excellent mezcal (some can be very pricey though but worth I think)"

Hotels, Activities & Food
It actually specializes in Oaxacan food, which is fantastic if you aren’t going to be able to make it to Oaxaca for a while. It’s slightly more expensive than some of the other places around town, but you can still enjoy a seriously good meal with a starter, a main, and a drink or two for less than $25 per person. I highly recommend the sampler of the three moles.
