I have never been to Morocco so I can’t speak to the authenticity, but the food sure was good. On top of that, they have a selection of Oaxacan beers and the staff can help you find just the right one.

The food is as good as I remembered from back in the days. I've truly enjoyed the CousCous and the cake. Calm atmosphere and attentive service

Great Moroccan food! Lovely place with a lot of space to sit. They also have some local artisan beer. Huge dishes so worth sharing!

Such a tasty and accidental find. I’ve struggled to find diverse vegetarian options in Oaxaca but it was right under my nose! I had the Falafel Pita and tabouli which were both delicious. The falafel was like none I’ve tried, more like “meatball” style with a tomato base and softer and I really loved it. Great for take out or even a quick snack, but I’ll be back to dine in at some point! It also looks like they have some craft beer options too which I need to go back and try. Overall I’m so happy I stumbled upon this place!

We were a party of 13! We had the best food and service! Healthy and flavorful food! We had flavored waters and teas! If you are looking for an alternative this is the place to try! The food came out quick! Very reasonably priced! Would definitely come back!

Hidden gem in Oaxaca where they offer delicious Middle Eastern food in a very tranquil atmosphere. Portions are very generous and food is very tasty and comforting. Dessert is a must. In the pictures: 1. Lamb and veggies couscous 2. Mediterranean plate (hummus, olives, and salad) 3. Briouat (traditional Moroccan almond desserts) 4. Mineral orangeade and mint tea 5. Moroccan table with window view

Great food! We had Kofte and lamb cous cous with vegetables and the plato de Moroc (a selection of salads). We topped it off with baclava and mint tea. Atmospheric music from the Middle East. Highly recommended for an exotic change from Mexican cuisine.
