“ An unplanned pleasure! I hope I have the opportunity to visit again on my next trip to Paris! We stumbled upon this place as we were hungrily searching the streets for a new place to eat (we = 2 adults and their child). Must admit that at first impression I almost skipped the place because I thought it was a bar. But I am so glad my wife convinced me to give it a go. Food = Excellent! The menu screams authenticity and the food we had competes favourably with high-end Mexican restaurants we knew in London. I personally had a dish with Mole Negro sauce, which was absolutely fantastic. No food was left on the plates, I can guarantee that. Staff = Excellent! We worked through my disastrous French skills, through a mixture of French, English, Spanish and Italian, with the three ladies in charge all helping to make sure we were all understanding each other. Truly a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that put everyone at ease. The prices are on par with what you would expect to pay for the area, but no one left the place hungry. And I could enjoy Dos Equis beer instead of the ubiquitous Heineken, so really can't and won't complain! In summary: if in the mood for some delicious Mexican food with a chill and fun atmosphere, and can't fly from Paris to Oaxaca, come to Zicatela. ”

“ Really good Mexican food, different to what I expected but pleasantly surprised, tasted really authentic. We were served by Ali who was really friendly and knew the menu really well despite being so new. Would highly recommend, spice levels weren’t bad at all and there are different levels to suit you described on the menu. Food and drink were good value too. ”
