Zipolite, Oaxaca
Thai and Asian dinners in a garden, by a Bangkok-born chef
Mao Mau is a Thai and Asian kitchen in a garden off Calle Mangle, cooking since 2020. Chef Peter was born in Bangkok's Silom district and learned to cook from his grandmother. It's gay-owned, dinner only, outdoors in the garden, and it's one of the most recommended dinners in Zipolite. It's open Wednesday to Monday from 6pm to 10:30pm and closed on Tuesdays. Book ahead in high season.
