" La Rueca exceeded my expectations! Fantastic cheese platter for starters, followed by an exquisite lobster bisque. The staff was very welcoming and provided great recommendations. I’d definitely come back to try their breakfast menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried La Rueca, and I must admit I was a bit underwhelmed. The service was decent but not exceptional, and it took quite a while for our orders to be taken. I went for the onion soup, which I expected to be rich and satisfying, but it ended up being quite bland. The atmosphere is lovely, but I felt the food quality did not match the beautiful setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" A beautiful place for brunch! I had the French toast, which was among the best I've ever tasted. The atmosphere is beautiful with an incredible view - perfect for an Instagram post! I can't wait to come back for a dinner date and try more from the menu. Highly suggest making reservations, as it gets busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had our bridal brunch here, and everything was perfect! The rooftop terrace was decorated beautifully, and the views were breathtaking. Aldo, our server, went above and beyond to make us feel special. The food was delicious—everyone raved about the chilaquiles! I would definitely recommend La Rueca for special gatherings; the atmosphere truly sets the tone for a lovely event. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited La Rueca during our trip to Oaxaca and was pleasantly surprised by how much we loved it. The desserts were fantastic, the view from the terrace simply unbeatable. The service was cordial, though they were a trifle slow in pacing. All in all, we had a lovely time here. " (*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*)
