BOOKMexican Kitchen. Gourmet Oaxacan food. Recommendation: Cheese in herba santa and mezcal.
BOOKThe best Spanish food in Oaxaca. Recommendation: Their black mole with blackberries has been recognized with international awards, as well as their paella and their fish. Ask for a jug of clericot for the heat since they prepare it very well. For dessert: The Catalan cream or believe me bruleé.
BOOKTo get the full Oaxacan experience, arrive early because it gets crowded and the food runs out. Ask about the meat aisle or the steakhouses. If you want to be totally Oaxacan, go first to the butcher shops and buy your Metlapil jerky and chorizo so they can prepare them on the grills.
