Noches Oaxaqueñas/Don Porfirio

Frommer's Review

This dinner show presents the colorful, traditional folkloric dances of Oaxaca in an open-air courtyard reminiscent of an old hacienda (but in a modern strip mall). The dancers perform traditional ballet under the direction of owner Celicia Flores Ramírez, wife of Don Willo Porfirio. The menu includes the plato oaxaqueño, a generous, flavorful sampling of traditional Oaxacan fare, with a tamal, a sope (a thick tortilla), Oaxacan cheese, grilled filet, pork enchilada, and a chile relleno. Other house specialties include grilled lobster, shrimp with mescal flambéed at the table, and spaghetti marinara with seafood. Meat lovers can enjoy American-style cuts or a juicy arrachera (skirt steak). The show takes place nightly at 8pm during high season, and Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights at 8pm in low season.
