Drinks are included in the price.

Cenaduría Tlayudas Libres
Drivers double-park along the entire block to eat here. The tlayudas are large, light, crisp, hot tortillas folded over frijoles, quesillo (a stringy goat's cheese from Oaxaca) and your choice of salsa. They make a filling, tasty meal, but half the fun is taking in the late-night scene as motherly cooks fan the streetside charcoal grills. Sit around on benches or at tables in the adjacent building.

María Bonita
Come here for economical and tasty traditional Oaxacan food. Precede your fish, steak or mole with a good appetizer or soup, such as the sopa Xóchitl (squash, squash blossom and sweet corn). There's a good breakfast range too. The old building is on a noisy corner, but the tasteful art and relaxed service make it all OK.

Restaurante Los Danzantes
Delicious Mexican fusion food and a spectacular architect-designed setting make Los Danzantes one of Oaxaca's most special dining spots. An old colonial patio now sports high patterned walls of adobe brick and cool pools of water in a highly contemporary configuration, half open to the sky. Welcoming young staff serve up a small but first-class selection of food: try one of the excellent duck dishes.
