El Mare - OAXACA DE JUÁREZ

La mejor pasta en México. Tried the Arrabbiata, Prosciutto y crema, y Bolognese. Todo divino. La selección de vinos es decente, pero nada espectacular. La selección de Mezcales es mejor y es el único lugar en la ciudad donde se pueden comprar botellas de Mezcal. El ambiente es acogedor y cálido con gran jazz y blues juegan suave en el fondo. La ubicación es operada por dos personas, el chef y el servidor y es popular con expatriados locales italianos. ¡Esperad a esperar vuestra comida!

Ha sido popular por un tiempo. Los sabores son siempre ricos, tengo un número de go-tos en el menú, pero es un lugar donde la exploración es recompensada. Larga lista de vinos para comprar y llevar a casa.

Amazing homemade pasta at great prices! Nice quiet atmosphere right on the main part of town. They have an unbeatable wine selection on this coast, better than any of the expensive restaurants, as they function as a wine store too.

There is nothing whatsoever about this cozy little restaurant that could be remptely mistaken for pretentiousness. There are perhaps six table, set upon a floor of sand and under a roof of palm thatch. No matter. Chef/owner Mauro, Italian by birth, has been cranking out excellent, authentic Italian comfort food since sometime in the last century. Nothing extravagant, no culinary party tricks, but rather great helpings of well-prepared, lovingly seasoned home-style meals. The pastas are consistently al dente, and the entrees are always flavorfull. He also seves one of the best flans in town—all somewhat miraculous in that he operates a one-man kitchen, even washing the dishes! Wines, and a full bar. Prices very reasonable.

Consistently good food, service and atmosphere! But if they fill up quickly!
