Opening times
Directly behind one of our favourite restaurants in Oaxaca City, Criollo, is the Casa where the chefs Enrique Olvera and Luis Arellano greet you with open arms. Kickstart the day with a brekky rivalling up there with the best, before heading up to the patio for a swim in the pool and a sip of the hose mezcal on tap. And with a restaurant like Criollo right on your doorstep, who are we to complain.
