• birthday brunch, party of 8

  Went here for a birthday brunch as a group of 8 with a 1215pm reservation. A few people in the party were late but they still let whoever had arrived be seated, which I liked. It's nice and spacious inside and very cute and then there's outdoor seating in the front. It was not overly crowded or overwhelming, which was a big plus. Our waitress Daniela was so nice and accommodating with our drink selections and what not!! And I love that she didn't rush us out of there. All of their cocktails sound so delicious but I stuck to the amor salvaje ... it was very good. We got chips and guac and patatas bravas for the table to share- both were good. Everyone either ordered the breakfast burrito or the chilaquiles. Burrito is the way to go if you want something filling. One person got the pork carnitas tacos and said they were really good. Would def come back here to try some of their other drinks and tacos next time!

• bridal party brunch, party of 4

  For a Michelin rated restaurant, I have to be honest in saying that I was underwhelmed. When dining at Michelin rated establishments I'm looking for bursts of flavor, a water glass that never gets empty & a table that is always clean. Unfortunately at Oxomoco, in some cases, this didn't prevail. We also had a slight issue with management which was appalling, so I left Oxomoco saying, I'll probably never return. The space is absolutely beautiful, when I entered it was if I was transported to a cafe in Mexico City. I was there for brunch with some girlfriends to celebrate a bridal party and we were super excited to dine and fellowship. As we got started, I ordered the Jamaica Agua Fresca. It was light & refreshing, not overly sweet or overpowering. However, my glass seemed to have a crack in it. When I picked it up in an attempt to drink it, a red ring was cemented on our beautiful wood table. I alerted our waitress and she immediately got me another glass, but I had to ask for the stain to be cleaned up as it was a bit of an eye sore. Nonetheless, after asking, it was handled swiftly. We then ordered chilaquiles, a tuna tostada (not pictured) and a Caesar salad as our appetizers. The chilaquiles were phenomenal and my favorite dish of the day. I didn't eat the tostada but the girls seemed to enjoy. The Caesar salad, mixed reviews. Plating was beautiful but the dressing was almost too tangy for some. But the tacos, were severely underwhelming. We ordered the steak, lamb & pork tacos. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to get a lick of salt in the seasoning & the grease spilled out of the steak. The lamb and pork were drastically dry and the steak was overly greasy. For a $22 price point, the size and taste, absolutely not. Now the issue with management starts here. 4 pork tacos were ordered so that each of us could have one. The first two girls took a bite of theirs and immediately put it down saying they did not like the taste at all. Myself & my other friend took a bite of their tacos to see what they meant and we concurred. Dry and no flavor. This prompted us to have no desire to continue eating the pork taco. Now mind you, as we dined, no one stopped by our table to ask how everything was. So at the end of the meal, when our waitress finally did, we told her that we didn't enjoy the pork tacos and pointed to the two that had two bites in them and the two that remained untouched. We then asked if we could take the two untouched off of the bill. The waitress said she'll take care of it and we thought that was all. However, the manager then came over & delivered an arrogant speech. She said the kitchen doesn't take back food so they're doing us a favor, if we didn't like the tacos, there are tacos for everyone so she's not sure what the issue was, and that we should have said something earlier rather than waiting for the end of the meal. We alerted her that no one from the staff checked on us so that we had the opportunity to tell them that we were disappointed in those tacos and when the opportunity arose, we took our chance. Also, she said that after food is sent out from the kitchen that it can't be taken back. It may not be re-served, but the options at that point are the customer eats it or it's tossed as waste, which most restaurants have a budget for. Her tone in all of this was arrogant, condescending and completely uncalled for. And our lovely bride told her such which resulted in an apology. She then came back after, apologizing again, and said there was a miscommunication regarding what she was told about the tacos. What the miscommunication was, I'm not sure, but the apology was again given. The waitress then brought us all complimentary margaritas to seal the apology, star for customer service. All in all it was a good dining experience because my girls & I have a good time anywhere we are. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this establishment. For high quality & fine dining experiences there are better bangs for your buck.

• group dinner

  This restaurant is absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable of the menu and seemingly food (and wine) in general, and the atmosphere was delightful. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially given their corking fee is $50 which was perfect since our group was bringing wine from California for the table.

• birthday dinner

  I wanted to like Oxomoco. Being from Austin, Texas, and my wife is from Mexico, I wanted to eat at the Michelin starred restaurant and thoroghly enjoy the meal. It wasnt bad, just not what you would expect from a featured Michelin restaurant. Lets talk bar service. Soda and tonic are not the same. Soda water is carbonated water, while tonic water is carbonated water with quinine and often a sweetener. Tonic water has a slightly bitter, citrusy taste. When a customer asks for soda, that is what they want. The second time the restaurant attempts to pass off tonic as soda, and the customer insists on soda, the issue should be corrected without an issue. At Oxomoco, the waiter and the bartender discussed the customer with the customer just a few feet away. It is never okay to do this. Most people don't go to restaurants for the soda or tonic. They go for the food. Consider making chips and salsa free. I had some pretty decent swordfish tacos. A solid 4, I would encourage copia style (add an extra corn tortilla) and go ahead and add a third taco. My wife had the wood fired grill chicken. That was a solid 5. We were there celebrating my stepdaughter's birthday. They brought her meal out about 7 minutes ahead of the other folks in the party. When asked about desert, only one person responded and off the waiter went. Which was the third staff member acting as our waiter. If we wanted something else, I guess we didnt count. I kept wondering what we did to warrant spotty service on a Tuesday evening. We had 8pm reservations, and it seemed to me, they were more interested in getting ready to close than to serve their customers. A sure fire way to close permanently if they continue. Again, good food, ok service and terrible attention to detail.

• birthday dinner

  I have been here a few times and Oxomoco never disappoints! I most recently came here for a birthday dinner and everything was fantastic. The host was very accommodating, the service we received from our server, Dan, was 10/10 and the food was exceptional. Oxomoco has truly earned their michelin stars and is a restaurant you should take your friends/family to celebrate them if you want to give them an amazing food experience. Must get: Salsa (comes with 7 different kinds, each with varying spice levels) Beef tacos - incredibly tender and flavourful - definitely our favourite - especially with the roasted peppers Lamb tacos - amazing, also tender but not quite as juicy as the beef tacos Dessert - definitely need to get the strawberry shaved ice cream. It is extremely unique and blew our minds. The cocktails were fantastic too - spicy mango margs and something else with Mezcal Thank you, Oxomoco Team!
