Vibrant Oaxacan spot on Coyoacán’s plaza with standout mezcals and moles, good service, premium pricing, and occasional service hiccups; great if you want regional flavors and mezcal culture.
Corazón de Maguey delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality anchored in authentic Oaxacan cooking and strong mezcal expertise, paired with outstanding plaza-side setting that defines the Coyoacán experience. However, inconsistent plate execution and occasional service friction during peak times prevent grade A territory, positioning it as a competitive neighborhood destination rather than a regional standout.
One caveat: Occasional reports of bland or lukewarm dishes amid many strong meals
