Nestled in the heart of Oaxaca, El Sol y la Luna is more than just a pizza restaurant; it’s an experience. With its stunning rooftop patio adorned with lush plants, diners are treated to both aesthetics and ambiance. Reviewers consistently rave about the vibe, noting the attentive and humorous service that makes the evening feel special. Emily Giang lauded the rooftop’s beauty and the service, though she found the margarita pizza decent but not the pinnacle of flavor.

On the other hand, Cameron Taggart found joy in their arugula salad and a savory ham and mushroom pizza, emphasizing the enchanting candle-lit patio. Hallgeir Berge's mention of live jazzy music adds another layer to the atmosphere. However, it’s Martin Mejia who sheds light on the unique offerings: from gourmet French fries to flavorful empanadas, every dish sings authenticity. His family indulged in pizzas and a decadent Nutella crepe, transforming the meal into a memorable culinary journey.

In essence, while some may find the pizza needs a touch more flair, the overall dining experience at El Sol y la Luna—with its vibrant energy and diverse menu—is indeed a delight not to be missed.

Reviews For El Sol y la Luna

Wow! We got a table for 11 people on the rooftop area, and it was absolutely amazing! The environment was very aesthetic and I love the amount of patio furniture and plants that were present. There was also an upstairs bathroom, which was convenient. The guy that was serving us was so super patient and funny, which I really appreciate. He was very attentive to anything we needed. The margarita pizza I ordered wasn't the best margarita pizza I'd ever had, but it was still good. I also ordered the juga del dia--I forgot what it was, I think maracuya? Either way, it was decent. The majority of our group got drinks, and they were good. Overall, not my favorite place for food, but I LOVED the service and vibes here! Do rooftop if you can.

I had the arugula salad and a pizza with ham and mushrooms. Both were delicious. The candle lit back patio is beautiful. Great ambiance, selection of food and drinks.

Beautiful rooftop with live music. Excellent service even though they were super busy for Mother’s Day and the pizza was divine (had the mushrooms, olives, goat cheese and arugula)

Wow great food & service! We’ve been here for 3 days in el Centro trying all the authentic traditional food Oaxaca has to offer. When my family suggested switching it up going Italian & pizza I was apprehensive. So we found El sol y la Luna and our server Jorge was so attentive and gave us great recommendations. We started with French fries that were homemade felt like home with 4 sauces. We tried two empanadas that Jorge recommended and they were full of flavor and must try cheesy fresh deliciousness. We order two pizza’s pepperoni & bolognese with a lasagna for our family if 4. The cheese the sauce so light yet full of flavor we ate it all. My kids ordered the Nutella crepe for dessert and it was so authentic warm gooey Nutella goodness. Had a bottle of wine to pair with the meal it was perfect. Great food amazing service one of my favorite meals in Oaxaca. Thank you Jorge for a great dining experience.

Just a great experience if you happen to be around for the music (a little after 9:00ish the day I was there). What is this fruit that looks like a lime but tastes like an orange?

That was absolutely the best carbonara pasta I've had in my life! It was very authentic very tasty and very filling. Then add on a nice warm basket of bread, some delicious sauces! What a good luck we just happened to find this place We were seated instantly and served wonderfully.
