Went to this establishment for Mother’s Day on the Saturday right before it. We made reservations & were the first customers for the day! The food was delicious as well as the drinks. The server was exceptional & knew all of the drinks & items on the menu to make heartfelt recommendations for new patrons. The bar was nice & our table faced the open sidewalk which was wonderful as the day was marvelous. We will definitely be back as we traveled from Hempstead Long Island to eat here.

I came here because the other place I was planning on wasn’t open yet (it was 3pm). I saw Ruta Oaxaca had some good reviews, so I thought, why not?! I was pleasantly surprised, especially when I found out it was happy hour! Even though I waited over an hour for my friend, I was well taken care of. I sat outside and was the only one there, which was nice as it was a little tight in the outdoor seating hut, and it could be tough getting around if it was full. They brought out fresh salsa and homemade tortilla chips that were incredibly crisp and thick. The salsa was just the right amount of spice and complimented my delightfully refreshing margarita. I got the casafortunas, a spicy, slightly sweet, summery margarita with a poblano salt that goes down easily… so I had two. The cucumber cools the heat down a little, so the combinations of the sweet & spicy mix together nicely.

I never had Mexican food like this before.The whole cuisine I thought was mediocre before this place showed me a new level I never could have imagined. Everything was exceptional, but my favorite had to be the chicken buñuelo appetizer. The mole was incredible.

Absolutely delicious food and drinks! Some of the best mole I have ever had. Calamari was crunchy yumminess and the ceviche was fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommend the white sangria & la chingona! The vibes and service was also great – you are bound to enjoy this meal

This place is probably one of the better Mexican cuisine places in Astoria. You get the vibe that it’s a bit more fancy than your typical mom and pop taco shop but not overly upscale, definitely a good date spot. As others mentioned menu prices are a bit on the pricier side for what you get however the flavor of the food is worth the extra dime. I had the steak tacos which were very tender and savory, coupled with the Alma del sol cocktail which was extremely refreshing. Service overall was fairly good however could’ve been a bit more attentive especially on a not so busy night. That being said, great food can make up for slightly sub par service which is certainly the case here. I will definitely be returning.

Overall, the experience at Ruta Oaxaca was good. The food was tasty, the atmosphere welcoming and their service was efficient for the most part. Reservations were easy to make.

The best lunch I’ve had in a long time occurred at this unassuming Mexican restaurant located in Astoria. From starting with the traditional margarita to ending with dessert everything was beyond expectations. The chips and salsa were very good but then the vegetarian empanadas really started to get this excellent culinary experience going. The star of the show came next, the beef short ribs in Oaxaca mole. The beef was wonderfully tender and flavorful but the mole took it to another level. To put it plainly it was the best mole I’ve ever had. The pretty and tasty dessert was the perfect finish.

I love every dish I’ve tried here! The food is amazing. Drinks are delicious, love the 2 for the price of 1 on Saturday’s. The Rosita drink is my favorite here. Great prices so refreshing from Manhattan prices. Make a reservation if you’re coming with a large group of people as it can fill up quick. The chips and salsa they give you to start are super tasty. I’ve tried a few dishes here, the enchiladas mole, pork tacos (cochinita pibil), the shrimp costenos, and beef short ribs and they are all worth getting. There is another location in L.I. that I haven’t tried yet, but hope to soon.

Fantastic tacos and amazing tres leches, super quick service we were seated immediately, given chips and great spicy salsa right away, and got our order of chicken tacos and pork tacos quickly. Attentive servers kept refilling our waters and we didn’t have to wait long to get the check and pay on the little pad thing that the server brought to our table. All in all great experience and really really good tacos.
