La Cabaña del Indio

TOURIST TRAP! Was a part of the tour to Monte Alban and we were NOT told that we'd be going there and was NOT included in the tour price. $150 pesos per person buffet style. If you didn't eat there, you went hungry as there isn't anything more around. The food was HORRIBLE and COLD! The ONLY hot foods were the soups. The most flavorful thing they had were the fried grasshoppers as toppings. The flower squash soup was probably the best thing there and only because it had vegetables. All the moles I tasted were COLD, then you pick whichever one you like and they serve you a piece of boiled COLD chicken topped with choice of mole sauce. The upside is that for $150 pesos you get to sample typical Oaxacan food which was extremely disappointing and unsatisfactory. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff. You'd eat better at the Mercados. Like in another review, you mostly get SAUCE or SOUP with very little meat. The pozole was ALL maíz/ homeny and NOT AT ALL what pozole normally taste like. I understand that flavors differ from region to region but you'd expect some likeness. The ONLY people there were the ones brought in the tour buses. If you take any day tour out of Oaxaca make sure to pack a lunch or get stuck eating at this disappointing place.

Buffet with endless variety of tasty, fresh oaxacan dishes. Recommended!

It’s is a buffet - not a gourmet restaurant; it doesn’t pretend to be something else. Nevertheless, the food is wholesome and there were more veggies options than most places we’ve eaten at on our trip. We had attentive and friendly service. While you’re not going to go out of your way to eat here - you will not be totally disappointed when your tour bus bring you here.

Ok

An all you can eat restaurant. Very good price and not so strict when it comes to not being able to finish your dish. We payed only 150 pesos per person excluding drinks. We ordered 2x Coca Cola bottles and 2x All you can eat dishes for a total of 340 pesos. We didn't even really finish our dishes completely and they didn't calculate extra costs. The toilets were very clean. Staff was friendly. Sometimes they felt a bit pushy, especially when it came to ordering drinks. There were a lot of flies flying all over the place, and I mean a lot. Also, many food dishes only contained the sauce, there was nothing else in there. The staff told me that they were preparing the foods but it was gonna take a few hours. So we weren't able to taste like 30% of what they were offering. Those 3 things were the only negative things about the place. Overall a great experience.
