Nimbus Cocina Creativa

Oaxaca City


This relaxed family-run restaurant has relocated to a new location in the Colonia Reforma neighborhood. It's a little less central than it used to be but remains, in the eyes of many oaxaqueños, the purveyor of the best pizza in the city courtesy of its wood-fired oven (and fine cooks). Also worth sampling are the salads, pastas, artisan bread and Italian sodas.
