Enrique Olvera of Pujol in Mexico City is the guiding hand at Criollo. Chef Luis Arellano is the spirit of this kitchen, his most influential role may be as its ambassador. He has spent time creating strong and supportive links with with the small farmers in the Oaxaca state. It is from these small farms that the best heirloom corn, herbs and other produce are sourced. Enjoy the dinner tasting menu for a special occasion or try the weekend brunch in the garden.

Almu is a fascinating Restaurant and garden located in San Martin Tilcajete, a 35 minute drive outside of town. Great food all cooked in the traditional way over open fires.

Xochimilco is one of the most traditional neighborhoods of Oaxaca City. This "barrio colonial" is located in the north part of the city, great for walking, art galleries, cafes. Generally a quieter part of Oaxaca.

Centro is the heart of the action in Oaxaca! Great dining, most of the Museums and Galleries, shopping and people watching. The very heart of Centro are the Zocalo and the Cathedral. Grab a sidewalk cafe table and see what's happening.

Markets

Most neighborhoods in Oaxaca have their own Municipal Market. Mercado de la Merced is the market for Casa en Libres. This is the traditional style market with lots of vendor stalls selling almost anything you might need, i.e. food, flowers, household supplies, etc. Sunday is the big day here with the market spilling out into the streets.

This is the largest Mercado in town by far, also with the best prices. They have EVERYTHING - fruit, meat, flowers, clothing, electronics, household goods, etc. Worth a visit even if you don't need anything. You should avoid the afternoon heat by going early in the day. The Abastos Market is huge, crowded, and noisy and many people have a better experience going with a local guide!
