I had the most incredible birthday dinner at Quixote, and Roxy made the entire night unforgettable. From the moment I sat down, she radiated kindness, warmth, and genuine joy in what she does. She recommended amazing dishes and drinks, brought me a birthday shot, and even surprised me with a rose and a beautiful birthday dessert. It was such a thoughtful and heartfelt touch.
The food was absolutely phenomenal — I ordered way too much because I wanted to try everything, and I have zero regrets (plus leftovers are amazing). Every plate was delicious and beautifully seasoned. My favorite was the squash blossom and grilled branzino.
The atmosphere, the candlelight, the service, and the flavors all came together perfectly. Roxy truly elevated the experience with her energy, attentiveness, and kindness. Thank you for making my birthday so special. I can’t wait to come back.

Sexy and innovative, this place is great for date nights. The menu is unique and I love the sangria on the cocktail menu! We ordered the chicken tacos and ahi plate. The price is on the higher tag for what you get but it’s a fun experience. The service can be friendlier but I get it, it’s busy and they have lots of people to take care of. I’d go back just to have that sangria again! Located in the LaFayette Hotel.

Truly an experience! My wife and I went for the first time to celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary. The vibes of the restaurant are unmatched upon walking in it was so dark couldn’t see much but when my eyes adjusted the interior was stunning from the stained glass windows to the old school architecture look was amazing. Not only the but the food was phenomenal we started with the chicken tacos which were a 10/10 some of the best fried chicken tacos I’ve ever had for our entire we ordered the steak and can I say one of the best deals I’ve had in a long time another 10/10! After finishing our dinner the waitress did bring out a pineapple sorbet with hibiscus orbs and a rose as a anniversary dessert on the house the sorbet was so refreshing and such a nice gesture when we find ourselves back in San Diego would visit again for sure!

What a beautiful experience ! The interiors are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! From the stained glass to the cutlery everything was beautiful! old school architecture look was amazing. The chilli garlic shrimp tacos are a must have! Oaxacan cuisine at its finest! Lovely dining experience!

Today was the first time we have ever been here and it was an excellent choice. Roxanne was our server and she was very welcoming, attentive, and gave great recommendations. We ordered the garlic shrimp tacos (MUST TRY), and the guacamole con chicarones and added queso fresco. The atmosphere is VERY unique Spanish/ Mexican decor which was beautiful. Thank you and we will be back again!

Food was tasty but the menu was incredibly small and not many options. The place in itself is pretty small but the design and architecture is very good. It was overall a chill spot but nothing crazy.

Quixote at the Lafayette Hotel is an absolute standout. The cocktails are creative, beautifully balanced, and clearly crafted by people who know their stuff—every drink feels intentional and memorable. The food is just as impressive: bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and dishes that are both elevated and comforting. The vibe ties it all together, making it a perfect spot for a great night out. Can’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic place. Really cool dark look to it. It’s like an old church inside with beautiful stained glass and really nice decorations. It’s almost medieval-like.
But the food is just delicious. It’s not your average cheap Mexican restaurant; it is a little pricey but the food is amazing. All the appetizers we got were fantastic (huitlacoche tamal and the caviar crab cake ) and the ribs were delicious. Honestly, even the sides of the dish were great.
I’m usually not a fan of paying a lot for Mexican food but I’ll make an exception for this place. It’s such a different cool experience. 100% recommend for a date night and please try some of the weird dishes. If you just want tacos you can go anywhere else.

Terrible food. Really a disgrace to Mexican cuisine and especially Oaxacan cuisine to serve such poor quality and poorly executed food.
We got the Huitlacoche tamal which was chalky and flavorless on a bed of some type of kidney beans. This is an ingredient you have to serve fresh and this was clearly not, made worse by a poorly made tamal with chalky masa.
We had the chapulines which should be crispy and toasted, but it tasted like they were fried a week before and refrigerated so they were chewy which was a shame.
We ordered the crab donut which came with a dense, hard, unseasoned donut. The tuna tartare was slimey and seasoned with sushi flavoring.
Lastly we had the festin which came with overcooked and unseasoned steak, shrimp, and chicken accompanied by what appeared to be a microwave quesadilla. Sadly the best thing out of the whole night was the overcooked chicken after you wipe off the sad excuse of a mole sauce they put on top of it. How good a mole is is probably the best indicator of whether a restaurant deserves to call itself Oaxacan and this did not deliver.
The service was also painfully slow to top it all off. Cocktails were good but we didn’t even have a chance to order more than one drink since the waiter didn’t check on us.

Lovely
I was in search of a ceviche and stumble across the version they have here called the campechana. It’s not bad, but after a couple of bites hard to continue to eat. Their website is down so looking for what was exactly in it without photos was iffy. I didn’t expect it to be black would not try again. I got it to-go, the inside was very dark and I’d like to actually see what my food looks. I ended up tossing it which sucks for 18$ spent.
