Cuisine Oaxaqueña : Guide Pratique

Must-Try Oaxacan Dishes

Oaxacan cuisine is considered the richest in Mexico. In Puerto Escondido, don't miss: tlayudas (large crispy tortillas with beans, cheese, and meat), mole negro (a complex sauce with 30+ ingredients), mezcal (smoky agave spirit), tamales wrapped in banana leaves, and fresh ceviche made with the day's catch. The central market and El Adoquín offer the most authentic street food experience.
