Just had dinner on a whim and already thinking about my next meal here! This restaurant specializes…read morein pozole--they have at least 5 different kinds. My husband had a red pozole and I had chicken soup--both excellent! They bring out complimentary toasted tortillas and a thin, garlic-y guacamole which is truly special. Also, this place is cozy, cheap and kid-friendly (even though both high chairs were broken, which was annoying)

I have been here 3 times and every time it is CLOSED. I have no idea what the actual hours are…read more However, the first time I discovered this place, it was a Sunday evening and they were open and I had the best vegetarian torta EVER. It was expensive, but delicious! So...... visit at your own risk!

Was literally on my way to a restaurant a mile away for some lunchtime tamales and atole…read morechampurrado and walked smack right into this food stall. They do three kinds of tamales: mole, verde and rojo, and champurrado. I got two tamales de mole, used to the wimpy tamales in the states. Whoa, these babies are freakin huge. I was so full after one. And the mole was complex and rich and sweet and savory all at the same time. Duh, it's Oaxaca. The grandmas know what's up.

We've only been here twice and every time it has been really good. There's pork tacos only. They…read morehave the usual, Chamorro, costilla, maciza, cachete, etc. There's some extras available like red salsa, cucumbers, guacamole, pico de gallo and onions w/habanero. The portions are big here, medium size double tortilla and tons of meat, for my husband who is a big eater 3-4 tacos are enough. Our recommendation is the meat could be warmer.

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.

I am a big fan of this place, I am seriously considering going there right now but I guess it's too…read morelate, so it will have to wait until tomorrow. 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.

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!
