El Sol Y La Luna - Oaxaca

A nice place to enjoy meal. Good ambience and live music. Very romantic and relax.

Ambiance 3 Service 2.5 Food 2.5 Drinks 2.5 A 3* review is being generous... This was easily the worst meal I had in Oaxaca. If you look at my other reviews you see I 'm not super harsh, but this place was not good. The salad was fine, but I 'm not sure if it is a Oaxaca City thing, but everytime I order a salad or appetizer it comes out with or after my meal. What is with that? I get the salad to fill up so not to overindulge on my meal. I will specify moving forward cause this could be cultural, so my fault not the restaurants fault. The steak had to be the lowest grade quality. It was cooked probably, I can say that. The mushrooms/onion sause that accompanied the steak tasted like canned soup in green bean casserole. The chimichurri tasted like cheap store bought. The garlic sauce tasted like ranch dressing with garlic powder added. The potatoes that accompanied the steak were actually good. Potatoe salad like, but nice. Don 't get me wrong I did eat my food because I was already paying for it and it was eatable but as someone that doesn 't cook I could have made this 100 times better. Never saw the waiter again after I order the food (someone else brought it out). I had to hunt him down for the check. They did have some nice live music. Sidenote (didn 't impact my rating) My table was so wobbly that I was scared everytime I touched it. The server tried to fit it but it barley made a dent (I should have moved). And the second I went to cut my food my mediocre sangria, spilled everywhere. This part did impact my service rating...I cleaned the table with napkins. I explained what happened to gentleman that brought out my food. Nobody ever wiped the table (just sat at a stick table with a sticky floor the rest of the time) and no one every asked if I wanted to order another glass of sangria.

I had the arugula salad and a pizza with ham and mushrooms. Both were delicious. The candle lit back patio is beautiful. Great ambiance, selection of food and drinks.

Only a great experience if you happen to be around the music (a little after 9:00 I was there). How does this fruit look like a lime, but tastes like an orange?
