La Tlayuda

Located in the heart of the Centro Histórico, just a stone's throw away from the iconic Zócalo, La Tlayuda is a must-visit for any fan of Oaxacan cuisine. This humble taqueria is famous for its giant, crispy tlayudas, piled high with beans, cheese, and various toppings. The best part? You can choose your fillings, allowing for a truly customizable meal experience. On weekends, the place gets quite busy, but the atmosphere is lively and the food is worth the wait.

Open from 11 AM to 9 PM, La Tlayuda is open daily. Find it at Calle de Tacuba 20, just steps from the Zócalo. It’s a bit of a squeeze to get in, so arrive early to secure a spot. A small price of around $10-15 per tlayuda makes it a budget-friendly treat in the city.
