Good food

Main courses were good, the breads didn’t impress me (the sauces were very acidic and were expensive). Prices are a bit higher for Oaxaca

Great project producing amazing flavours

I actually didn't eat in the restaurant but I did a cooking course which was run by ethnofood and the food and flavours were incredible! It was so good that i tried to go back to eat in the restaurant but sadly it was closed😒if the restaurant food is anything like as good as what we cooked during the course, you have to give it a try!

Cozy backyard place

Food is served in a little backyard.
A lot of food wasn’t available. The French Bread was nice, but the fruit on top was cold, so the toast cooled quickly.
Food was nice.

Pros: All vegan, Friendly staff , Cozy place

Cons: Not everything was available

Obsessed!

We LOVE Etno! Probably the best place we've been to in Oaxaca. Everything about the food is amazing. Try the waffles! Nice garden setting and super friendly staff. If you're wondering if you should go - this is your sign!

Authentic oaxaca cuisine

I enjoyed the experience here, we tried the mole tasting. The almond and olive mole was our favourite. The food was good but nothing special in my opinion. I'm sure the food was all done really well it was just a bit bland to me. Drinks are good and staff are really nice. Lovely setting. Reasonable prices.

Love love love!! Delicious

Fully vegan menu. Went for breakfast. They didn’t have bread at the time so I got waffles & Oaxaca spicy potatoes (because lots of the reviews said portions were small) and it was HUGE!
Waffles had incredible passion fruit flavoured ice cream. The potatoes were huge, couldn’t eat them all. Staff were so helpful. Cute little courtyard to sit in with good wifi so even did a bit of work. Will absolutely come back here to try other food.
Only con is I had a hot chocolate and it was very bland so wouldn’t order again, but that’s just my opinion!

Pros: All vegan & great options , Huge portions for what I ordered , Great vibe

good but not great

I was expecting a bit too much maybe. It was good and the staff was friendly. It was also really reasonably priced, but my mushroom salad could have been a bit more exciting or substantial. It was good and fresh, but just not like I will want to go back for it. I would however go back to try other things on the menu. The kitchen hours only 1pm - 5pm are a bit slim too, would love this place for brunch.

Great food, wonderful service

Came for breakfast, had the French toast and a hot chocolate with ginger. Food came out so quickly and was excellent. The bread was perfectly done and the fruit and syrup just the right amount of sweetness.
Wish there were two pieces instead of one, so a bit small and a wee bit expensive for the portion. My hot chocolate didn’t have much ginger taste to it but was good, I like strong ginger, was not too sweet which was good. Outdoor patio was nice and quiet. Owner, chef all staff very welcoming.
Came back and had the Etno sandwich - excellent portion, flavour and quality

Pros: Everything vegan, excellent menu & service , Fresh, excellent food quality, presentation , Nice outdoor back patio

Cons: Small portion for French toast

Salí decepcionada

No tenían ninguno de los platos con mole, así que pedimos unos sandwitch que decían tener queso vegano, pero los trajeron sin, al preguntarles... pues que tampoco tenían. Los bocadillos no eran nada del otro mundo, muy poca cantidad por el precio que piden. Yo no recomiendo el lugar, salí decepcionada, una pena la verdad.

Pros: Lugar 100% vegano, Servicio atento y amable

Cons: Poca variedad donde escoger , Caro, No muy sabroso

Just OK

Happy they are vegan, and I really wanted to like them, but service was slow and the dishes really not very good for the price.
Everything had sort of a fussy design, but mediocre implementation.
One of the times I went I had avacado toast - pretty easy to do well - who doesn't like avacado toast, right?
I found it underwhelming in every way - the bread was huge, not much at all on top and expensive for an easy, inexpensive item in Oaxaca.

Pros: Vegan!, inspired ideas

Cons: Fussy, poor execution, too proud

Not vegan

Milk ingredients used in some chocolates and cheese used in cooking class.
Cakes are amazing but ask about milk ingredients

Pros: Amazing cakes

Wonderful - Must Try

I came here here a few times while in Oaxaca City. The restaurant is fully vegan. All the food I had was great and plentiful. The backyard seating area is really nice - you could spend an afternoon there. I highly recommend this restaurant to vegans and non-vegans alike. I usually ordered three course meals and the bill would be $200 to $300 MXN per meal (I have a big appetite and didn’t share any plates, but some dishes are big enough to share). The chocolate bonbons are delicious. My only suggestion would be to reduce the sweetness of the horchata / make it sugar free.

My favorite Oaxaca Vegan Restaurant

Food is great. Right next to my hostel. My complaint is that it closes kinda early. Wouldn’t recommend the hot salad, everything else I have had is fantastic. Owner is cool. Definitely should go.

Pros: Vegan restaurant , Inexpensive, Cool owner

Cons: Closes early

Book a cooking class now!

We sadly didn’t a chance to eat at Etnofood but we did do a cooking class which we can’t recommend it enough! We had a wonderful day learning how to make mole oaxaqueño. Took a trip to the market to get ingredients and learned about the trees we passed along the way. Martin was the best teacher, very informative, and we had a blast!

Pros: All vegan cooking class!, Amazing food, Martin!

Chocolates and the Etno Sandwich

This cafe and garden is a lovely place to whittle away an afternoon. We ate a few things here but enjoyed the hummus-filled Etno sandwich the most - it would likely be even better if the bread was lightly toasted (you could request this, I'm sure).

Definitely ask for the artisanal chocolates! They are creme-filled, beautifully presented, and available in 6-7 different flavours. I can recommend the lemon and jamaica ones, in particular.

Buen ambiente y decoración pero escaso y caro

Etnofood, bonito lugar con mucha vegetación y espacio amplio, amables, sin embargo no cuentan con variedad y muchos de sus platillos no están disponibles, es muy caro para un platillo simple y el servicio no es muy bueno.

Delicious vegan options :)

I had a fantastic 2 experiences here😄I got to try vegan mole, and I also had the hummus sandwich which was delicious. I also had the matcha latte with soy milk (i think they also had almond), and a lemon chocolate bonbon (DELICIOUS). I happened to show up right before an all vegan chocolate tasting, and it was a fantastic experience! The man who makes all the chocolate there told us so much of the history of Oaxaca chocolate, and we got to sample many of his creations, including the lemon cream filling used in the bonbons— apparently he made a pie with it too, I wish i had gotten that. Everyone is welcoming and the food is wonderful. Just know the portions aren’t huge and it’s slightly pricey.

Pros: Delicious, Great service

Cons: Somewhat pricey, Not a huge menu

Delicious and flavorful

This is a must if visiting Oaxaca. I also did the cooking course, where you learn about the history and use of many local ingredients. Made a delicious fresh juice, salad, rice, and mole that was not overly complicated, absolutely incredible and something very doable again.

Amazing!!!

You must come here if you are in Oaxaca!! The quality of ingredients and taste of all the dishes was in fact otherworldly. The staff is passionate, kind, and knowledgeable regarding veganism. I will definitely be back one day:)

Pros: Wonderful food!!!!, Kind staff, Cute environment
