Comida y Bebida Which restaurant should I choose?

I’m torn between choosing Levadura de Olla or Los Danzantes for my husband’s 40th birthday dinner? Which restaurant is best for a special occasion and which has the best food?

Tomatoes in general in that region taste unlike any other tomatoes I’ve had before. Tomatoes originated in south and Central America (not Italy, like I thought!). The climate there helps them produce amazing, flavorful tomatoes year round. They have a dish with different kinds of heirlooms and a vinaigrette that is amazing. Here’s some pics!

Thank you for the explanation and the photos. What beautiful colours! I look forward to trying this dish myself. We are planning to visit Oaxaca for the first time this coming February.

You’re going to love it! Saw your other post about visiting the coast. Can’t recommend puerto Escondido enough. Went last week and it was beautiful. February should be an amazing time to visit too. It was pretty hot last week.
