Oaxaca After Dark Street Food Experience and Hidden Eats

More than simply tasting food, this experience is designed to connect you with the history, preparation, and cultural significance behind Oaxaca’s most iconic street dishes.
Along the way, your local foodie guide explains the origins of the dishes, the ingredients used, regional influences, and the role these foods play in everyday Oaxacan life while experiencing the energy and atmosphere of authentic neighborhood food spots beyond the tourist crowds.
