Cafe Lavoe

I read the reviews and yes, the service was a little slow but the drinks were made to perfection. We were not in a rush and wanted a nite-cap! Prices were reasonable and the place is pretty cool. The Hector Lavoe’s lighted pictures are WHATS UP. We had boneless and their take of Buffalo Sauce was very good. Also, the house Hot Dog... Excellent. It’s packed with some heat! I think it should be renamed to a sausage sandwich because the sausage it’s self it chopped. The melted cheese was so good!!!!

Great location and great service. It's a small hotel so it never felt overrun. Often, it felt like our own place. The breakfast selection was delicious and the hotel staff was always attentive. The room was very clean and comfortable.

Nice quaint place. It's not a mezcal bar per se but that's what I came for on my way home. I started with the Coyote (didn't love, it lacked any nuance or character. I'm not sure how to describe other than meh. Maybe someone else will like it, I dunno), then I had the Jabali which I really like (of course it's the most expensive on the menu, but it's just $9 American dollars and had good balance of smokiness. Not too strong not too weak). I ordered french fries on the side but mezcals come with orange slices and peanuts. Get a seat outside and enjoy.

The champinones burger was a great late night dinner with a great view, fun atmosphere, and a cool breeze. Accompanied with a not-too-sweet and refreshing caipirina, Cafe Lavoe was a very nice surprise after a long day of sight seeing and shopping! ❤🇲🇽❤

Yum! Good cocktails and great rooftop vibes. The burger was a perfect late night snack!

Good rooftop! Good prices but I feel they need more people, they took too long to bring our order!

Skip the pricey place next door and go here to hang with locals a great reasonable prices and still with a rooftop view. Nice range of Oaxaca delicacies too. Support the micro-economy!

Okay, I am reluctant to make this post because next time my table will be full instead of waiting for me. This is an idyllic little restaurant with wonderful staff, food, and nightly specials on their beverages. My highest recommendation when you're in Oaxaca.

This place is amazing. The food is simple but extremely high quality and low cost. Outdoor seating sets a strong ambiance.

Buen lugar para pasar el rato. Nice good prices beer is great, mezcal is ok and food is ok also good place to chill out

Amazing rooftop, extremely well priced drinks (mezcal and beer deal) + great Mojhitos. Food looks good too. Relaxed vibe and nice staff

Nice atmosphere and excellent location right next to Santo Domingo Church

Good mojito promotion on Wednesdays !! You pay one and get two

Great rooftop bar, decent burgers, mezcal, and friendly service.

Very cool sort of hidden rooftop bar

Lovely rooftop terrace and good service

Delicious cocktails and bar food

Bread was good.

Great burgers

¡Me encantó! Fue uno de mis lugares favoritos para cenar súper rico en el centro de oaxaca y créanme que buscamos y buscamos hasta que dimos con esta joya! Cerveza bien fría, unas alitas súper delis como nunca las había probado, doraditas y el sabor súper rico muy casero el sabor. La ensalada deliciosa y una muy buena porción, una hamburguesa de lentejas(súper buena opción para vegetarianos), los aros de cebolla deliciosos, el mojito deliii. Y para cerrar el postre súper rico y casero😋 y bueno que decir del carajillo, estaba delicioso lo amé!!!! La atención súper súper buena, se nota que le ponen cariño a cada alimento y bebida que preparan. Muchas felicidades.
