Stop 2

Indulge in the region’s signature dish, Mole Negro, served alongside another traditional Oaxacan mole that highlights the city’s rich culinary heritage.

Stop 3

For the adventurous, try a handful of chapulines — crispy fried grasshoppers — and discover why this local delicacy is worth a try.

Stop 4

Continue through Mercado Juárez for another round of regional favorites: a stringy, flavorful quesillo and a rich, traditional nenguanito.

Stop 5

As the walk heads toward the Zócalo, taste the pre-Hispanic drink Tejate, made with cocoa and corn, paired with a lightly sweet Pan de Yema.

Stop 6

Relax on one of Oaxaca’s beloved terraces, where a Tlayuda with meat and a warm soup with chicharrones are served with a view.

Stop 7

Each bite reveals the deep culinary soul of Mexico’s food capital — and as always, the tour ends with a flavorful Secret Dish to complete the experience.
