" What a fantastic evening at La Rueca! The ambiance is simply mesmerizing with views of the Santo Domingo church twinkling against the night sky. We started our meal with the house specialty—a warm baguette with an assortment of delicious cheeses. For the main course, I had the duck ravioli, which was beautifully presented and flavorful. Aldo, our server, was very attentive in ensuring we had a great experience. Overall, highly recommended for a romantic dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Slightly disappointing experience. Despite the nice decoration and view, the food was not as good as I anticipated. The menu had some items denoting French origins, but they lacked authenticity in taste. Service was adequate but could be better considering the ambience was set for a more upscale experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" A great find in Oaxaca! The setting is wonderful, but the food didn’t quite live up to my expectations. The chilaquiles I ordered were average, and the coffee was lukewarm. The servers were kind but seemed a bit disorganized. I look forward to trying brunch here, which I’ve heard is much better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon La Rueca during a stroll through Oaxaca and decided to give it a try for lunch. The terrace was packed, and we were lucky to snag the last table. I ordered the Croque Monsieur, which was good but not quite as good as what I've had in France. The service was friendly, but we had to wait a while for our food. I'll definitely return to see if the dinner menu offers more authentic choices. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about La Rueca, my expectations were high. The restaurant boasts a lovely setting, especially the views from the terrace. However, I was disappointed with my meal; I ordered the lobster soup, which came lukewarm and lacked flavor. The staff seemed overwhelmed and less attentive than I hoped for. I would have loved to see more authentic French dishes that truly represent the cuisine's richness. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in Oaxaca, this restaurant should certainly be on your list! The unique French dishes were a pleasant surprise. Enjoyed a lovely meal on the terrace with delightful scenery. The service was friendly and knowledgeable - they knew the menu well! I highly recommend the vichyssoise; it was delightful! Will definitely return for more authentic experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed overall. The food lacked flavor, and the service felt slow during our visit. With so much competition in Oaxaca, it's hard to justify a return visit. I was hoping for great seafood, but I wouldn’t recommend it based on my experience. " (*Curated Review*)
