I usually get flour,sugar and oil, and also dog food, there's a 25kg bag for $360. Which when you have a big dog comes very useful plus it's a good quality product. Also when we have family reunions we buy all our meat, condiments & bread here. There's a baking section with lots of yummy baked goods at good prices. I did prefer when there was a variety of bagels to choose from but now they come in 1 flavour already packed. Sometimes you can also find good deals on clothes & shoes. You'll find less people if you go early morning during weekdays, weekends tend to be really busy and there big lineups but you don't have to wait for too long.

They can deliver your meat if you call ahead or have your order ready for pick up. The best part is this is not only a meat shop, you can get different kinds of cheese, dairy products, produce, baked goods, imported stuff like cookies, oils, etc, liquors & even some over the counter medicines.

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.

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.

Super popular with tourists, thankfully not too many people the day I came. I got chile relleno and…read moremushroom tacos, could've done with more flavor for the mushroom. Also got an empanada with amarillo (yellow mole) with chicken - SUPER tasty flavor, really enjoyed that. The sauce is also quite liquidy. Everything made on the spot so it's hot, and there are three salsas you can add at your leisure. 30MXN each per taco, 60 MXN for the empanada.

It's a whole little center of tiny nieve establishment outside a church. Honestly all of the establishments offered almost identical flavors of nieve so I think it's just a matter of finding one with good sitting. We went during the week and place was full. The place is full of so many vendors asking to purchase something constantly while eating but I did not mind much because we ended up buying from most of them. They are almost all indigenous vendors who offer hand crafted items from bracelets to alebriges. There is also live marimba music. This is a must stop when in Oaxaca. All the locals recommend coming to las Nieves. Can't wait to come back.

My favorite place to get my ice cream is El Niagara, I remember going as often as I could with my dad or my mom when visiting family. And to this day I keep ordering the same combinations, mamey w/lemon, leche quemada w/tuna (prickled pear) and last but not least sorbete & strawberry. This plaza was recently renovated, so now you get a different feeling when you visit, there's also some food stands and the traditional candy/dessert stand (that I've heard is not that great, I just don't like getting too close to it as I am scared of bees)
