The experience

Oaxacan food is a world of its own, and the markets are where it lives. In the 20 de Noviembre market the “pasillo de humo” welcomes you with tasajo, cecina and chorizo cooked over charcoal, next to stalls of crispy tlayudas and memelas with fresh salsas.

We walk the colorful stalls of local produce, find the small family places that only locals know, and finish with something sweet: Oaxacan chocolate, alegrías and fresh corn tamales.
