“Oscar, We have thought about Oaxaca and Casa Crespo often since we have been home! Our 2 months in Mexico were fabulous, and our fondest memories are of Oaxaca, and the dinner at Casa Crespo. If we win the lottery between now and Wednesday, we will be there for Mezcal tastings with you and your staff!”
- Karyn Armour
In recent months, Oaxaca has been abuzz over the fabulous dinners that are been served up at Casa Crespo. It all started out sometime ago when artist/chef Oscar Carrizosa started creating, at his B&B, unforgettable feasts that would bring together friends and members of the artistic community.
For Oscar Carrizosa, the act of cooking is nothing less than alchemy. He brings together foods from the eight regions of Oaxaca to a table. Those who had the good fortune to attend spread the news. Soon the dinners became famous and turned into a bi-weekly affair.
The restaurant and the staff seemed to reflect Oscar's personality; relaxed, fun, intelligent. We suggest you order the "tasting menu". With every course Chef Oscar Carrizosa will come to your table to comment on the preparation, etc.
4 years and well over a score of dinners later, Oscar decided to make these sumptuous encounters available to a broader public and he just opened Casa Crespo restaurant at Allende 107, just two houses west from Santo Domingo church..
