Oaxaca is an upmarket Mexican restaurant near Barceloneta, the kind of place you take people to impress them. Part of a restaurant group that has other restaurants, but don’t let this put you off, this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Barcelona. The food is genuinely authentic and delicious. The guacamole made fresh in front of you at the table for example. On the pricier side, but well worth it due to the luxury setting and quality of options on the menu.
