RESTAURANTS

Oaxacan cuisine is an experience you simply cannot miss. During your visit, we invite you to discover some of the region’s most iconic flavors: from traditional ice creams — especially the famous leche quemada con tuna — to local delicacies such as piedrazos, chapulines, nicuatole, quesillo, traditional breads, and regional sweets.

Oaxaca is also the land of mezcal and sal de gusano, a combination that is deeply rooted in its culinary identity.

Be sure to try tamales in their many varieties — filled with mole, beans, sweet flavors, rajas, or green salsa — as well as the famous seven Oaxacan moles, considered one of Mexico’s greatest culinary treasures.

And to complement any moment of the day, don’t miss traditional drinks such as hot chocolate, champurrado, or the ancestral beverage known as tejate.
