After our day tour at Monte Alban, we went back to the Mercado 20 de Noviembre for more local food and some fresh blended juice.

Here is a typical menu you can find at most stands in the mercado. In our opinion, basically everything is good there.

Oaxaca - the capital of mexican cuisine

You can guess our favorite dish is ceviche? We are having it anywhere we can find it! The best we've found so far is at Terraza Los Amantes. The ceviche was bathed in a maracuya + lime sauce that just had a perfect balance of flavours.

Our other favorite dish is the one with mole sauce but honestly we liked all their Mercado homy dishes.

Last night we went to Humito Cocina to listen to a jazz band called Faros quartet. Unfortunately we didn't make a reservation and the whole place was full except for their downstairs section. Food was good though. I highly recommend it, as long as you make a reso for upstairs.

For cheap food, we recommend going to Mercado 20 de Noviembre. They have a lot of options there.

Otherwise El Ceviche Loco in the Benito Juarez mercado has good ceviche but not as good as the one from Terraza Los Amantes.
