What you can expect

Experience Oaxaca’s night food scene with clear logistics, safe routes, and the comfort of A/C transport. Your local host will pick you up from your hotel or Airbnb and guide you to three selected street-food spots where locals eat at night. Each stop represents a different traditional dish so you can understand Oaxaca’s flavors in a simple, safe, and structured way.

Your first stop features a tlayuda, a large, crispy tortilla grilled over charcoal and topped with black beans, fresh vegetables, cheese. It is one of Oaxaca’s most iconic foods and a staple of the city’s night culture.

The second stop highlights garnachas from the Istmo region, a specialty rarely found outside these communities. These small fried tortillas are topped with seasoned ground beef and finished with pickled cabbage, giving them a flavorful balance of savory and acidic notes. They are served in a family-run spot where locals gather after work.

The final stop focuses on a tasajo taco, made with thin slices of tender beef cooked over an open flame. The meat is soft, lightly seasoned, and served in a warm tortilla with classic Oaxacan toppings. It is simple, traditional, and very popular among night-time diners.

This is not an improvised tour—our routes are verified, our hosts are trained, and small-group operation ensures better attention and safety. You will have dedicated time at each stop to taste, ask questions, and enjoy the experience without rush. At the end of the experience, you will return comfortably to your hotel or Airbnb.

A reliable, efficient, and flavorful night activity designed for travelers who want real street food with the peace of mind of a trusted operator.
