203 Trujano, located just one block west of the zocalo. Serving contemporary Oaxaca food based on old family recipes. Low keyed music in the background and the work of contemporary Oaxacan artists displayed on the walls lend an intimate atmosphere to this good sized interior patio. One of Oaxaca's seven moles is featured each day and there are many delicious variations of chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers) - from mild to hot.

Unusual dishes include a cream soup of smoky chipotle chili and nuts and a spinach salad with jicama, bacon, and red hibiscus flowers. Specialties include Oaxaca's seven moles and organic salads, as well as special chiles filled with traditional ingredients. Praised as “my favorite restaurant in the city” by Frommer's Mexico 2003. Housed in a 150 year old colonial home with tables filling its charming central patio.
