El Escapulario has a great variety of Oaxacan dishes, some that you don't find too often. Everything I've had is delicious. The Pollo en Salsa de mango, and Mole Verde Pipian are a couple of my favorites. We almost always come in for lunch, the comida corrida or menu del dia. With that you get to try interesting delicious delicious,... More

This small restaurant , run by Esther who does the cooking, is by far the most authentic Oaxaca style food. No frills nor fancy service. The food is made on the spot , so relax and take your time.

We were a part of six-two were children. The service was personal and fantastic. The food also excellent. Lovely view from the window. I highly recommend eating here and supporting the fine work Ester does.

This is a lovely experience. Upstairs, small restaurant, served by the most lovely lady. It is like eating at Grandma's. everything we had there was excellent. Get the soup, it has a tomato base, vegetables and avocado along with tortillas. A meal in itself.
