• Mercado 20 de Noviembre - Oaxaca’s culinary scene is a delightful blend of two worlds, both equally appetizing. In the morning, a vibrant array of eateries and vendors open up, ready to kickstart the day for Oaxacans. As evening approaches, the scene transforms with a fresh set of stalls and vendors, ensuring the culinary festivities continue. Locals will tell you: the true flavors of the city emerge at night.
  On this afternoon-to-evening tour, participants will explore this culinary transition, savoring some of the city’s finest nighttime food spots while understanding their vital role in Oaxaca’s community life. The journey includes strolling through historic neighborhoods and public spaces, offering a glimpse of a side of the city that few visitors experience, day or night.
• Oaxaca - The adventure begins in Oaxaca’s historic center, just as the night food stalls start to appear and new aromas fill the air. The first stop is a vendor outside one of Oaxaca’s main markets, serving tortas and tostadas to workers since 1930. Joining the after-work crowd, participants will taste these famous and hearty creations. Next, the tour continues to a new family-run restaurant, now a neighborhood favorite, known for its dedication to a fundamental Oaxacan ingredient: beans, served from large clay pots. Here, a sampler of their comforting dishes, which creatively honor traditional Oaxacan cuisine, will be enjoyed. The exploration proceeds to a small shop run by a local woman passionate about cacao and chocolate, where her artisanal creations will be sampled.
• Iglesia del Carmen Alto - As the tour progresses through the neighborhood, another iconic streetside business will be visited. This family has been selling tortillas stuffed with chicken and mole since 1965. Now managed by the fourth generation, their stand is a strategic stop for evening shift workers, hungry locals, and those fueling up for a night out.
• Museo Belber Jimenez - Energized, the group will join locals in a nearby park for one of the most traditional and satisfying Oaxacan street foods, corn in a cup, perfect for a stroll while snacking. With cup in hand, the night parade continues to encounter the heavyweight of Oaxacan late-night meals, the tlayuda, a large, thin, and crisp tortilla topped with various ingredients. Just as the taco is to Mexico City, the tlayuda is to Oaxaca – affordable, filling, and endlessly customizable. A visit to a local favorite selling them since 1952 is included. To conclude, traditional Oaxacan sweets will be tasted from a stand in a church courtyard, followed by a mezcal tasting led by a young master distiller, one of the few women crafting this agave spirit. It’s a perfect conclusion to an outing celebrating the guardians of Oaxacan culinary traditions and their nighttime endeavors.
