Personally, I prefer the grilled one, but the corn was delicious and Don Paco is a great choice in Oaxaca. Unlike the starchier corn used elsewhere, this was definitely sweet corn. It is bathed with mayonnaise, queso fresco, chili powder, chili sauce, tajin and lime. It was a delicious snack that was not too, too heavy. Delicious! Beware, there is ALWAYS a line.

The best "elotes" (corn on a cob) and "esquites" (a kind of maize soup) in town! Really, I have…read moretried quite a few and these are really the best, I know you might think "how difficult is it to boil some maize" well it is an art! What makes these elotes and esquites so delicious is especially the home made mayonnaise, grated cheese and chilli powder. Of course also the love it has been made with. There is another "elotes y esquites" lady on the other side of the park (av. Benito Juárez) but they are truly not as good as the one on Pino Suarez.

You ever wondered why almost always there's a line up? One of her secrets, which she told my mom, is she adds chile de arbol & other spices to the water where she boils the corn. Considering all the people who come to buy from this lady, she's fast, I've never had to wait for more than 15 min, even when it's really busy, and it's always the same excellent quality. Another secret? Other places just add mayo (which I don't like) & cheese on the top, well she adds some at the bottom, so you have both in every single bite.

Tacos del Carmen is a taco stall located in the city center of Oaxaca. It gained popularity after…read morebeing featured on Netflix's Street Food highlighting tacos in Latin America. When we got there there was a line of people who hadn't yet ordered and others who were waiting for their food. Someone walked up to us asking for our order. Then we waited as they cooked everything in front of us and handing them to patrons. We got the chile relleno ($30 MXN) and mushroom tacos ($30). We liked the chile relleno one more as it was cheesy. Both tacos were a little oily but they were good. There were some salsa stations on the side for extra flavor. There was nowhere to sit so people either ate standing or took their food to go. This stall was authentic and the food was inexpensive. This was street food at its core.

What can I say about this burgers? Hmmm they're awesome!!…read more Seriously my husband has been on a quest for burgers here in Oaxaca, and we drove a few times by this place until one day we decided to stop and eat something. We're talking about big sized burgers with many combinations of ingredients, One of our favourites is the Hawaiian buster or the master burger is great too. Their French fries are really good too, and I can't forget to mention their milkshakes. I just love the vanilla one although I would lo like it even more if they had a bigger size. The location is easy to find but they don't have a parking lot, this is not a problem since there's plenty of parking in the streets close by. The only problem is since they're so good, every time we go is busy, like we've had to wait for 30-40 min sometimes but in the end it's totally worth it, believe me!
