Exhale Oceanside

We were excited to try out this new Mexican restaurant close to home. What attracted us was the Oaxacan influence to the cuisine. Especially the Tlayuda. We found it to be very fresh and tasty, though not made like a traditional one. Still it was very good. Jasmine was a delightful server, helpful in managing our special requests. We don't eat beef or pork, and there was no chicken Tlayuda on the menu. However, the special dish of the day was half a roast chicken. She asked the chef if they could prepare a Chicken Tlayuda for us and they did! We brought our own bottle of wine, and the corkage fee was very reasonable. We dined late Saturday afternoon, which was good to go early as the crowd picks up by 5:15 and the restaurant gets very noisy. Overall, for us it was a very good value.

Nice ambience and great food. Service good as well.

Exhale is quite new. They have no known phone number. Very trendy, creative mexican food, all very good. Creative craft drinks, but they are pricy. Great casual place for scharing foods with friends. Try everything. Nothing I haven't liked. You must be open minded to sharing your table, but that is fun sometimes. I'll go again.

Great Food!!! Great service. Little pricey but will defi6go back.

The food was amazing! Excellent blend of flavors, beautiful presentation and knowledgeable server who gave several wonderful recommendations! Oysters are off the hook good! Can’t wait to try the dinner menu
