Tlayudas El Chepil is worth the journey. The location and restaurant may not be for everyone, but…read morewe loved it. From ordering without a menu, watching the son prepare our tlayuda outside on the sidewalk, to the enjoyment of the food...even had fun when my agua mineral spritzed all over! 75 Pesos for the tlayuda , three links of delicious chorizo and two bottles of water. Astonishing! Our tip was more than the bill........Please let your hair down and make the venture.

There are loads of places where you can buy your typical Oaxacan late night snack: Tlayuda, but I…read moremust say (after visiting several) this is one of the best in town! I love the small (invisible during the day) restaurant with only 3 tables, if you come with a group they can but tables and chairs outside also. The family that runs it are very friendly and efficient. They cook the Tlayudas and meat outside and prepare them inside together with the tostadas (hard tacos with meat, cheese and vegetables). I personally love the Tlayudas with Quesillo. You can add tasajo (thin steak type meat) but the Tlayuda sencillo, so only cheese is more than enough for me. Of course with a nice refreshing drink, if you want they also have coffee and Champurrado (a drink that tastes like hot chocolate). The best thing of this place is that it's in the same street as the botanic garden/Santo Domingo church, it's pretty cheap and it's open daily from about 8pm to 1:30am.

It was raining and we ran inside the first open restaurant we could find and I feel so lucky it was…read morethis place. Good quality food, pricier than other places but I had just recovered from an upset stomach and they seemed very cleanly so I took a chance. My French toast was exactly what I needed. Many of the decorations in the space were made of recycled materials which I think made the space very chic but sustainable. My partner ordered the eggs Benedict oaxacan style with pan con mole, queso y chapulines. IT WAS DELICIOUS!

Meh. I found this place to be a little overpriced for what it is. It was quiet when I went in,…read morethere were only 2-3 tables occupied around lunchtime. They have a large menu mostly comprised of sandwiches and burgers. Some odd items for Mexico including a bagel with lox and a Rueben. With that said I'm a little tired of Mexican food after being here for about two weeks so I opted to give it a try. I actually really liked the broccoli salad that came with the sandwich, it was tasty and fresh. Would definitely get that again. The sandwich was good, but the bread was terrible - so dry and hard. It was a bummer because the rest of the ingredients were yummy. They should have just thrown it on some simple white bread and it would be 10x better. Cheesecake was yummy but again a little pricey at 80 pesos. Probably wouldn't come back but I would consider getting a small side of the broccoli salad to go as a snack in the future.
