The greatest hits 🇲🇽 1. @fondaflorecita_oficial’s huitlacoche and squash blossom memelas 2. @origenoaxaca’s 🐜, 🦗 and 🐛 salad 3. @eldestilado’s squid ink pulpo 4. @elhidalguensebarbacoa’s lamb barbacoa 5. MEAT ROW at Mercado 20 de Noviembre 6. Inexplicably delicious street hamburgesa 7. Pink chorizo tostada 8. Fish with lard and chicharone at @pitionaoax, without question the best meal we had in Mexico and the most memorable meal I’ve had this year. Can’t return soon enough.
commute ☁️
Taco de suadero 🌮 Brisket, tripe, chorizo and pigs head, all cooked in the same bubbling pot of juice and fat 💦, finished with lime, cilantro, radish, onion, and habanero. Thank you @jorgevallejo for the tip 🙏🏻
A day of mezcal 🍶in the heart of Oaxaca. Tasted maybe 50 different varieties, watched and helped in the process of distillation at San Dionisio Ocotepec, and brought back a reasonable haul of 25 liter bottles of the finest stuff. A day well spent in the Oaxaca countryside. See stories and IGTV for the making of Mexico’s liquid soul ✨
Contemplating how to take these 🌵 home with me
Wishing I could wake up here every day🌿 One of the oldest buildings in Oaxaca, converted from a former convent @casaantonieta ✨
One of the best bites of our dinner at @quintonilrestaurante was simply its fresh tortillas made with local CDMX blue corn. I would have been happy if we were just left with a stack of them and the house made salsa, black bean, and habanero sauce, but we restrained ourselves enough to continue (barely). 2/ Nopal cactus from the boroughs of Distrito Federal 3/ Crab-stuffed tostada with lime, radish and chile habanero 4&5/ Roasted cuitlacoche with potato sauce, chile serano and roe. Cuitlacoche is the result of a plant disease caused by a pathogenic fungus that causes smut on ears of corn. Also known as ‘Mexican truffle’, it is unbelievably delicious roasted- like a cross between corn and maitake. 6/ Tumbada risotto with local abalone - a take on a Mexican seafood rice stew with a rich shrimp and fish stock 7/ Atocpan style mole with mushrooms from Puebla 8&9/ We were kindly invited backstage by Chef @jorgevallejo to witness the action and he generously gave us a low down of his favorite fondas and taquerias 🙏🏻 We also learned that his two year old daughter’s first bite of solid food was roasted baby eel 😅and she now regularly indulges in the Quintonil tasting menu. That is one lucky baby.
Oaxaca style 🌵
