"Sample the Seven Moles Oaxaca is known for its moles. The most famous is mole negro, the black mole—a thick, rich mixture of ground chiles, nuts, chocolate, and other ingredients. But that's not the only type of mole you'll find here. Los Pacos specializes in these rich sauces and you can sample seven different kinds to compare and see which you like best. If you find one you really love, they sell mole paste to take home with you, so you can prepare Oaxacan mole yourself. Los Pacos has two locations. The original is on Belisario Dominguez in the Colonia Reforma (north of the city center). This location is more popular among locals, and has an outdoor children's play area. The other is on Abasolo in the historical center. The centrally located one has a roof terrace, perfect for enjoying warm evenings in Oaxaca ."

Overall a nice experience, just a bit pricey. I enjoyed the service, it really was amazing. My mezcal cocktail was delicious. The insect tostada was actually pretty good! The best part was the mole, of course! I had the sampler and ended up choosing the mole estofado it was amazing!

Absolutely the best restaurant in Oaxaca. Top notch service and food. Our waiter Ricardo was terrific. Every dish suggested was perfect. Every dish we had was awesome. The mole by far is the best here in Oaxaca. Looking forward to returning to sample more items on the menu. Highly recommend this establishment

People rave about this place’s mole, so maybe that’s what you should come here to try. Not ordering the mole is probably where I went wrong, but I wasn’t super impressed with the meal my friend and I had here. We actually came inside of this restaurant due to a sudden torrential downpour of rain and hail, so I didn’t have a chance to research what people recommended about the place. All that said, I wouldn’t rank it as “bad” (I’d give it a 3.3/5), but it just wasn’t at all worth what we paid. We paid about 650 MXN (~$36 USD) for 4 tacos al pastor, 1 torta, 2 beers, and 1 cappuccino. The tacos and the salsa (especially the burnt one) were the stars of our meal, but the meat in both dishes were fairly dry. The torta was all right but had strange additions like chicharron and chile relleno which made it have a textural strangeness and odd mixture of flavors. Long story short, come for the mole sampler, and avoid tacos/tortas when you’re here. Also be prepared to pay a bit more than what’s reasonable for a decent dinner in Oaxaca.

As a Mexican, this is some of the best traditional food I've ever had. The mole is simply amazing. The escamoles are the best I've tried. Paco, his wife and the staff were friendly and attentive. They accommodated us bringing our 2 huskies and a beagle for dinner - and served them too! We're recommending this place to everyone we know. We can't wait to come back.

Los Pacos is a restaurant we go to when we want to eat mole. We ate here a few years ago and really enjoyed it, so we were eager to eat here again. We both ordered mole dishes, I wanted to try the mole verde and my wife wanted mole negro. The mole verde dish was pork in the mole with a side of rice, it was fantastic. My wife ordered chicken enmoladas with a mole negro, another fantastic dish. We both agree that Los Pacos mole negro is the best we have had anywhere. The service started off very good, but then for some reason slacked off. The restaurant wasn't busy, so we were a bit puzzled by the inattention towards the end of our meal. Although the restaurant has a nice interior, we were seated near a group of 4-5 people who were rather loud. I guess bad luck and not the restaurant's fault, but it diminished our experience. The other disappointment was with dessert. We ordered a piece of chocolate cake to share and it was very dry. I honestly don't know if it was supposed to be dry or if it had been sitting around too long. Either way, not very good. Although our visit wasn't the perfect dining experience, I highly recommend this restaurant as a place to be able to try some really good moles.

We ate here our first night in Oaxaca City. The food was well prepared and service was good. The Mexican wines were also good. We had the moles tasting menu. I definitely recommend

Came here tonight to try the 7 Oaxacan moles and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious as were the cocktails. I got a raspberry margarita and my mom got a guava and mezcal cocktail. We had an incredible server- Roberto. He did a fabulous job explaining the menu and giving us recommendations.

We really enjoyed our food at the restaurant. A local guide suggested we visit the restaurant as they serve all the 7 moles to taste and hands down it was the best experience. The moles were delicious and we decided to buy 3 moles to take back home to Germany. We also ate the tacos de puerco which was recommended on their menu and for the right reason! Victoria was serving us and she was the warmest person. She gave us insight into Mexican culture and great recommendations about coffee as well as the nearby cities we can visit depending on what we might be looking for. She made the experience worthwhile along with the food.
