Local Food Guides

Oaxaca is known by food aficionados all over the world for its rich culinary traditions and specialty dishes. If you want to sample the best of Oaxacan food and happen to be in Oaxaca on a Sunday, making a trip to the traditional Tlacolula Market to eat everything in sight is a must.
