- Oaxaca, the food capital of Mexico, is known for its incredible Mexican street food scene using indigenous ingredients. As we were planning our route through Mexico, we knew Oaxaca city had to be our first stop! We love to dive deep into each destination’s authentic culture; and one of the best ways to explore a new place is through its food and people - both of which are easily accessible at local street food markets.
In today’s video we take you around the city of Oaxaca to taste the delicious Mexican street food (Comida Oaxaqueña) this region is famous for!
We start the street food tour at Mercado de Abastos with memelas for breakfast. This Oaxaca speciality is a must-try and the perfect start to our day hitting the streets! Memelas are made with a corn-based tortilla topped with beans, quesillo (Oaxacan cheese) and whatever other toppings sound good.
Next, we head over to Mercado 20 de Noviembre for Cafe de Olla (Oaxacan Coffee), Chocolate de Leche (Oaxacan Hot Chocolate), Pan de Yem (egg bread), and Mole Negro. Mole negro is one of the most famous dishes in Oaxaca and in Mexico. Oaxaca is known for its seven moles, but the negro is our favorite! This complex and delicious sauce usually goes on chicken, but today we had ours with beans, rice and fresh corn tortillas!
Cooling off with a Horchata from a street cart outside the Benito Juarez Market, you can’t miss the amazing aguas and nieves on the streets of Oaxaca. We tried a Mezcal Nieve and a Tuna Nieve (prickly pear cactus) - amazing!
Afterwards, we head through the long maze of street vendors and spot a local, pre-Hispanic drink known as Tejate. This drink was different than all the others. It was more savory and has strong notes from its maize and cacao ingredients. Definitely a must-try in the state of Oaxaca!
You can’t do Mexican street food without Elotes y Esquites! Just typing that makes our mouths drool… This famous cheezy corn street food star is one of our all-time favorites. Spicy, salty and so yummy - you MUST add this to your street food list in Oaxaca.
As if our stomachs weren’t full already, we hit one last gut check in preparation of the finish line and chow down on a massive, crunchy Tlayuda. Known as the Mexican Pizza, Tlayudas are huge, crispy corn tortillas topped with the tangy Quesillo, beans, cabbage and hot sauce, then grilled over an open flame grill. You’ll see Tlayuda joints scattered all throughout Oaxaca!
To cap off the night, we head to the local Mezcal bar to taste the ‘other Tequila’ that Oaxaca is known for. With Mezcals in hand, we cheers to the best street food in Mexico - salud!

Such a sweet first stop, the lady cook behind you was so proud and such a lovely grin. Touched my heart❣️❣️❣️❣️Great videos💞💞💞💞
Wow the food there looks fantastic 😍 it’s a dream of mine to go to Mexico
The street food was so good! Hopefully one day you’ll get to visit - highly recommend Oaxaca!
Can’t wait to go back pero me quedo esta vez ❤️❤️
Same here! Loved that place 🇲🇽
That corn on the cob looks so good!! Wish I was there!!
I so appreciate this video. Oaxaca is on our short list, hopefully this year. We're also vegetarian so appreciating the tips here. And yeah, mole is so good but hard to find without animal fats. We did find just one vegetarian mole negro this past weekend at a market in Chicago and paired it with vegetarian "chick'n." LOL. And I LOVE everything they do with tamarind in Mexico!
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed this video! We loved Oaxaca 🇲🇽 Enjoy it when you visit!
We absolutely loooved rthis video! We've never been to Mexico but the food looks amazing - we love anything with corn in so this would be perfect for us 😂
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it! Any video where we just walk around eating and drinking is a great day 😂 The corn in Oaxaca is so good! Y’all would love it there.
You're making me miss Mexican food so much!
If Mexican food was all we could eat the rest of our lives we’d be happy with that 😊
Merry Christmas to you Ashley and Jordan. 🎅
Thank you, Merry Christmas!
While Oaxaca was on my list for a visit to Mexico (at some point) I had not really given much thought to the food. While I enjoy Mexican I really wanted to visit the old town and also Monte Alban. Thanks to you I now have yet another reason to visit. Enjoy Christmas.
There’s definitely much more to Oaxaca than the food, but the Oaxaqueña comida cannot be missed! Merry Christmas!
Iam Mexican American out of all the videos I looked up of traveling n trying street food in Oaxaca u guys are the best travel buddies/ Couple nice video 😊👍 😎 that Oaxaca food looks so delicious even though I had ate most of the food already due to my Mexican heritage there is still one or 2 things I haven't tried n the food down there is cooked differently much more delicious I bet 😋🤤🤤 u guys are so Lucky maybe next time u guys go again u invite me? 😊👍💪😋🤤
Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed this video :) The Oaxacan cuisine is DELICIOUS!
Usually in indigenous influenced towns and country side mexico people drink from bolws. In aome places they use clay bolws and in others still use the jicara(he-ca-ra) that is a fruit of a tree that looks like coconut shell or pumpkin hardshell. So no necessarily you need a spoon just use as a regular cup.
Excelente lugar ❤❤❤❤
we love Oaxaca. My wife has been twice, me once. Maybe next October. its great to see all the old sites again and get your spin on things. Its always nice to share.
Agreed - Oaxaca is a great place to visit, especially around dia de muertos!

Are you vegetarians?
We eat vegetarian 🌱 the majority of the time (99%)
Masks
No, people in Oaxaca don't drink coffee with spoon
It is used to cool your coffee if it is hot, just move it in the drink
