Our Story The goal – to guarantee a wonderful meal with authentic cuisine and fabulous margaritas, serve over 50 artisanal and ancestral mezcals, and over 100 different types of tequila brands in a vibrant unique atmosphere that boasts excellent service. Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine opened in Astoria in 2021 with such a wonderful and successful home run that a second location opened in Patchogue in March 2022. Ruta Oaxaca means “Road to Oaxaca,” a historic state in the southern part of Mexico. Mr. Castillo and his Partners are keenly focused on honoring Oaxacan culinary traditions, whose fame is derived in great part from its many varieties of moles. By legend, these ancient recipes are more than sauces, they are the very focus of the meal. Ruta Oaxaca proudly features four moles, each prepared using the Oaxacan mole recipes that have made the cuisine world famous.

    This is one of my favorite Mexican spots on Long Island and their outdoor patio is officially open for the season. We started with a frozen margarita flight and loaded nachos. For entrées, the salmon with their signature mole was unreal and the chicken tortilla pie was packed with flavor. And do not skip dessert! The cornbread tres leches and coffee flan were both incredible. The vibe here is everything, and they have live mariachi on Friday nights and special events. If you’re going out for Long Island Restaurant Week, they offer a prix fixe menu with options like their chicken buñuelos, enchiladas, tacos, and of course desserts like tres leches and flan.  For Cinco de Mayo, they go all out with live mariachi, tequila and mezcal tastings, and a full day of food, drinks, and music.  And for Mother’s Day, they host a special brunch experience with live mariachi and a full menu in a really fun atmosphere.  They have two Long Island location in Patchogue and Woodbury as we as Brooklyn and Astoria. (We visited the Patchogue location.) 📍 Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine

    The service was terrible. They never checked on us despite only 3 other tables being occupied. Had to ask for the check and to order. sent back the chilaqulies. Worst I have ever tasted. The server was nice but it didn't make up for the overall experience.

    Was a fantastic experience from the beginning of service to the end! We were here for a small birthday celebration and everything from the food to the incredible service was seamless! They even surprised us with a free churro dish at the end was the icing on the cake. Will definitely be back!!!

    Tried this place tonight- can confirm for the price tag this places does miss the mark on a lot of fronts. My group thought that the chicken quesadillas mixto tacos and pescado with rice and beans were all JUST OK. Our server was nice but distracted and could have been more attentive. The noise level was too much - I get they have a live mariachi band but it made communication very hard at our table cause of how loud they were. The final part was that - the restaurant was HOT temperature wise- I get its summer but the threshold to turn on the AC in this humidity should be low. For the price we paid and the value of everything, I would not return.

    Fish tacos were excellent! Overall, different dishes for 5 people were really good. Service was excellent! NOISE LEVEL WAS OFF THE CHARTS! (But maybe I’m just getting old…..)

    Very nice service and good drinks. The tortillas were bland and the vegetarian options were undercooked and without much flavor. The fish taco was very good.

    The food was good. However, the music was too loud. The restaurant emptied out and the singing was too loud, we couldn't hear anything anyone was saying. We left with a big headache.
