Delicious, well prepared, authentic Oaxacan foods! We have been several times to this unique outdoor restaurant in San Felipe del Agua. Service is lovely, fun to look into the outdoor kitchens, wonderful gardens, and habitats for chickens, geese, rabbits, pigs its just great! Always 100% happy with our experience. We are retired chefs and restaurateurs. In my top ten amazing places for dinner in all of my travels.

I had a fantastic experience at Restaurante Entre Lenos. From the moment I walked in, the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home. The food was simply spectacular: I tried the oven-baked barbacoa, and it was one of the best I've ever eaten. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the presentation impeccable. Plus, the soft music and rustic decor added a special charm to my breakfast. Without a doubt, this is a place I'll return to and enthusiastically recommend.

There are some places so amazing that it’s hard to really focus on the food. Imagine a restaurant set in a beautiful backyard with trees every where and an herb/vegetable garden making it a truly farm to table experience. And the staff so down to earth that you feel right at home. They didn’t rush us one bit even though we really took our time in ordering the food. If you are big on cocktails, I’ll recommend coming for lunch/dinner and not breakfast because their bar is limited for the morning time.

Possibly the best restaurant I ate at on my recent trip to Oaxaca. The food was absolutely delicious, and the location is stunning. My kids enjoyed seeing the animals and playing on the playground. Highly recommend!

Uffff 100% recommended. The staff was very friendly from the beginning. Spectacular food!! My family and I had an incredible time. It was cloudy for us so the weather was excellent but I recommend that you bring a mini fan in case it is hot. Everything is made on the spot, even the bread, which is wonderful. Something that I am very grateful for is that it is petfrienfly, the staff even brought them little plates of water 3. The only drawback I have is that there were a larger than normal amount of flies but the restaurant is prepared and provides you with some fans to scare them away, be careful that fan is not to provide air, it is only to scare them away. From then on we loved Entre Lenos.

Okay okay, this place was great. Service was exceptional, food was delicious and drinks were what we expected! They have IPA beer here, and good Negronis as well. The pizza is mmmmmmm and the past was also very tasty. Great job on the Italian take for dinner. My only regret was coming back for breakfast. I hear it is awesome, but we didn't have time to try it out!!!

One of the best things I ate in Oaxaca. The place, although far from the center, is very pleasant, the staff very attentive and friendly, and the food is even better. We ordered the sharing platter and loved everything, especially the mole coloradito and the mole negro. The mescalinas were also delicious and offered a 2-for-1 discount. We lucked out and found a spot on a Sunday afternoon, but it's advisable to make a reservation; it was quite full. We'll definitely find a place to visit again in Oaxaca. We'll definitely visit Entre Lenos again.
