This is a place where they have a great latin atmosphere. Apart from the exquisite food, on any other night they have different shows such as a live band, comedians, dancers, even strippers! It is a great place to hang out with your friends or family.

The place was clean and you could see there was a high standard of food hygiene/ prep but I didn't rate the food it I was honest. Over 8 bucks for one burrito was also kind of expensive for a 'fast-food' type place. It was very busy here so I am sure the locals rate it.

First time eating at Real De Oaxaca and we were so pleased. All the food was great, especially the pork. Serious Oaxaca food. The service was great and we were not rushed.The menu is vast and the servers will help you with your order, if you are not familiar with the food. On the night we were there, we were able to enjoy some great music. We will be back.

The folks at El Pescador take Mexican food and ramp it up to a delicious art form & do it with style and authenticity. Extensive menu of favorites and specials welcomes you to the great food that's coming. Have a drink too, if it's after work! You'll enjoy. ...

Admittedly the food is pretty decent. But you need to weigh the quality of the food against the awful service and questionable business tactics of this place. I am of the opinion that servers are surly & difficult and their service is exceedingly slow, even when the queue is short. I am also of the opinion that I have been overcharged on multiple occasions... by different cashiers... so make of that what you will. Don't spend your money here, instead spend it at another Mexican restaurant where they treat their customers with respect.

What an adorable eatery. Inside is spotless and super cute.The service is excellent. All of the menu choices are great and they have a big menu. The pozole is great and I love their rice. I also love their salsa. You will love this place. Give it a try. I do wish they would turn the TV off, but it is not loud.

Please don't be discouraged for the location. They have valet parking at weekends and the BEST Best Chile en Nogada!! Remember the famous movie called "Como Agua para Chocolate" where they have Chile en Nogada, well here you find them at its best setting! Too bad that I couldn't get the recipe!!! As a Mexican American I know what is really a good Mexican food and here Ramiro and Jaime really know what they are doing! Couple years ago I visit for the first time with friends and they were very pleased with the food and service. Love to hear that they don't serve burritos and tacos which is most of the non-Latinos know about the Mexican cuisine. The only thing that I don't like is that they extended the restaurant area and a crafts store was added. I am not against our Mexican traditions but when I want to eat I don't want to be distract by the anything else. Love the wall with the pottery pieces and during my last visited I inquired about a painting that was on display but too bad it was out of my reach. I have stopped multiple times to get Enchiladas al Mole which are delicious too! Once I saw a television anchorman there and this is a place to find a well diverse clientele. The Chefs are very charming and once I saw one that waved at me from another table. they serve Cetto Wines which are from Baja. Very acceptable. Try el café de Oya with a cinnamon touch. Delicious.. I am hungry now.. Enjoy Amigos !
