Oaxaca City

📌 We arrived back into Mexico after a short connection in Mexico City and a tiny regional plane. We were keen for the renowned food scene of Oaxaca. Immediately the place seemed like another great town, the colourful streets and street food created a vibrant atmosphere.

📌 We found some great shops, there were lots of artsy and clothes shops, lots of markets and cafes as we wandered around. We struggled to find some quick food on the afternoon we arrived, particularly as we had no idea what to order. By chance we stumbled across a street food spot that was busy, we simply pointed at what someone else was eating and asked for two. We eventually realised we were eating Tlayudas, a popular Oaxacan folded tortilla. They were delicious!

📌 We enjoyed some delicious dinners, a lovely rooftop serving southern Oaxacan dishes such as garnachas On our final night after the food tour we also enjoyed some delicious stuffed croquette plantains, and some octopus with black mole ( a speciality of Oaxaca).Read more
