Ruta Oaxaca Mexican Cuisine
Description
Among Astoria’s many Mexican restaurants, Ruta stands out for its hot pink signage, elaborate tequila and mezcal cocktails, and focus on regional Oaxacan cuisine. You’ll find the standard lineup of popular Mexican dishes here, but the menu’s stars are the entrées that showcase different kinds of mole. A Oaxacan specialty, the labor-intensive sauce is made of various chilis, herbs and spices—and often, chocolate. At Ruta, it’s offered generously on dishes like the pechuga en mole and enchilada mole.
