Look at these plates. This says it all. The food is good, organic, tasty, but come on folks, this is Oaxaca, you can do better. The place is north of the historic district so a bit out of the way. If I go to this district there are other places to go to.

Itanoni has a passion for local, native corn and they have the most outstanding tortillias in Oaxaca. They are open for breakfast and lunch only. I only go when I can get there before noon so that the breakfast menu is still available. Favorites are the tinga Tacos and the 3 tostadas. My friends are hooked on the egg platters.... More

This place for lunch only...closes at 4pm is as good as everyone says! Please take a dictionary with you, as there is no wifi. Totally recommend as the foodie destination of Oaxaca!

Also had a great house made orange fruit smoothee in a jar. Service was kinda lame, but there was a big party in the... More

This place rocks! The corn is unlike anything you will have tasted in Oaxaca. Delicious lunch spot outside of the Centro, well worth the walk. The lemonade with yerba buena is outrageous. Remember, they close at 4pm.

This was a favorite lunch place for us...wish it was open for dinner too! On my first visit I asked the server (older man - owner?) what he suggested and his recommendations, a tetela espirituosa and mixta "de ese" were delicious.
