1. Ancestral Cocina Tradicional

    Mexican

    Eating under a thatched roof in a tree-shaded courtyard in Barrio de Xochimilco, you'd be forgiven for forgetting the rest of Oaxaca exists. This open-air spot does traditional Mexican cooking rooted in family memory, which means the food feels earned rather than performed. The crowd tends toward travelers who did their research and locals who like that. Go for breakfast and watch the comal work happen right by the door.
