La Escondida: Oaxacan cooking 101, this all you can eat buffet will be the
visitors introduction to Oaxacan cooking. A local guide would be helpful
when dining here but almost all dishes are without excessive hot spices
(Chiles). This place crowds up on Sunday a Oaxacan family day. Cab or
drive south of the city on the Mitla road just a few miles from the city.
Hacienda de la Santa Marta: A DC 3 crashed in a field so the story goes
and rather than move it a restaurateur built his place around it and now the
kids play on it while parents dine. (Legend only) Owned by the same operators
of .La Escondida this one follows the same buffet formula and is Oaxacan
cooking 101, north. On the road to the archaeological ruin of San Jose El
Mogote in the beautiful Etla valley, This place crowds up on Sunday a
Oaxacan family day. Cab or drive north of the city on the Etla Valley road eight
miles from the city. Great food, plenty of choices $120 pesos Buffet style
Oaxaca's Zocalo Restaurants: Oaxaca has a large central park called
the Zocalo that is surrounded by pedestrian-only streets. Two second
floor restaurants on the west side overlook the large plaza and one has a
nice view of the Cathedral. A third second-floor restaurant on the east
side is set back a bit from the park. These restaurants have sidewalk
dining below them. The second floor restaurants, La Casa de la Abuela
and El Jardin serve Oaxacan cuisine at reasonable prices and include
the exotics like roasted grasshopper.
Terra Nova the restaurant on the east side of the plaza is traditional
with less Old Oaxaca ambiance but good food at good prices. Terra
Nova Alto on the top floor overlooking the zocalo is quiet and delivers
good regional food at good prices.i
The east side of the plaza or Zocalo now has a Japanese sushi
restaurant and a fast food start-up competing with the traditional eateries.
Coffee Shops: Coffee grows in Oaxaca State and some great coffees
come out of the local shops. Several cafés offer free WiFi for those
traveling with a laptop or notebook.
