El Morocco Restaurante-Lounge-Cafe

A small square on Jose Lopez, El Morocco offers freshly prepared Moroccan dishes. We always started with salad and humus. The best humus we've ever had. We tried some of the main dishes over our month in Oaxaca and were never disappointed. The staff obviously cares about what they do. The chocolate cake became a take-out article several other evenings. Very recommended.

At this moment, due to local COVID-19 restrictions, El Morocco can only take-out or home delivery on limited menus. We ordered the home delivery of a number of dishes, and they proved delicious! They were also delivered on time, on a Sunday afternoon, with a...delivery service Ya-Va ', which a properly masked person sent home on a motorcycle, almost 45 minutes from the restaurant location to the north of the city. We ordered several orders from their braided squid bowl, and several orders from their vegetarian alternative, an eggplant dish, both served with couscous and salad and small containers of and excellent tzatziki, The squid was perfectly boiled, and the eggplant dish was also great. We will order again while the stay-at-home rules are available, and then we will go directly to the restaurant when the new normal allows it.

We have often eaten in El Morocco, both in its old location and in its new environment in the historic center of Oaxaca between El Llano and Conzatti Parks. We love their salads, vegetarians, chicken or lamb couscous, pastilla and juicy Lamburger. Consistently excellent food and... good service.

This is such a treat to have Pastillas (pastry with chicken seasoned with curry, cinnamon and sprinkled with powered sugar)...sounds wierd but the taste is awesome. This restaurant makes individual ones for a single serving at only 130 pesos! My friend ordered a salad and...we shared this lovely meal.

Amazing aromas. I have eaten in Moroccan restaurants in many different countries and this provides all the right flavors.
