Tacos del Carmen is a taco stall located in the city center of Oaxaca. It gained popularity after…read morebeing featured on Netflix's Street Food highlighting tacos in Latin America. When we got there there was a line of people who hadn't yet ordered and others who were waiting for their food. Someone walked up to us asking for our order. Then we waited as they cooked everything in front of us and handing them to patrons. We got the chile relleno ($30 MXN) and mushroom tacos ($30). We liked the chile relleno one more as it was cheesy. Both tacos were a little oily but they were good. There were some salsa stations on the side for extra flavor. There was nowhere to sit so people either ate standing or took their food to go. This stall was authentic and the food was inexpensive. This was street food at its core.

Super popular with tourists, thankfully not too many people the day I came. I got chile relleno and…read moremushroom tacos, could've done with more flavor for the mushroom. Also got an empanada with amarillo (yellow mole) with chicken - SUPER tasty flavor, really enjoyed that. The sauce is also quite liquidy. Everything made on the spot so it's hot, and there are three salsas you can add at your leisure. 30MXN each per taco, 60 MXN for the empanada.

An unassuming taco cart located near Benito Juarez market, across the street from Hotel Rivera…read moreDiamanté. Popular with locals. They serve 2 things: tacos de cabeza de res (tacos with beef head meat), and consome de res (beef broth soup). The tacos are tender and very flavorful, served up with a nice salsa verde that balances the richness of the meat nicely. Dress it up to your liking with limes, red sauce, or a spicy green sauce. I love flavorful broth soups, and for me, the first sip of the consome, served in an unassuming styrofoam cup, was a transcendental experience. I can imagine it would be even better to have this delicious soup on a chilly evening. Very reasonably priced. Our tab for 2 people: 9 tacos + 2 consomes + 1 Coke = 123 pesos. Tip generously because it won't break the bank. Return often because they deserve your support.

This cart serves an amazing hamburger. I love in n out but I prefer this spot. During various trips…read moreto Oaxaca I have let 5 folks take a bite of my burger and they all immediately ordered their own...sometimes two!! You can get your burger with several toppings but the best is "con todo". It includes the patty, a slice of cheap ass Fudd ham grilled, American cheese or Oaxacan quesillo, lettuce, tomato, grilled or fresh onion', some pickled jalapeños, a few chunks of pineapple, Mexican Mayo and a little mustard. The hotdogs aren't that great but they have them. Mario's usually shows up after 5 or 6 near the Zocalo but they may move around. After 10 pm the line gets long with all the drunk folks needing something to soak up all that mezcal or beer. But don't worry because the cook has his technique down. They were only 35 pesos but worth twice that!!!

I loved the burgers and hot dogs at this stand. The delicious aroma pulled me to check out what was…read morecooking, and I was shocked to see all of the ingredients that were being used to give these hot dogs and hamburgers a Oaxacan twist. You got regular hot dog buns, but with gooey and toasted cheese and topped with bacon , Pico de Gallo, ketchup, mayo, mustard and *chapulines*. I had to try these and it was amazing!!! They also top the hot dogs with chicharrón for more crunchiness. The hamburgers have fresh grilled pineapple with a meat patty topped with ham and cheese, and you can also top with tomato, lettuce and salsa. We visited this stand several times on our Oaxacan vacation and I must say I think I am addicted and will miss it!

Hubby got the mackerel and the veggie terrine. He said the mackerel was the best he ever had. I got the tomato salad and the tacos. Both were very good. I can't find it five stars because i felt the menu was limited and my dishes did not blow me away. Had my expectations been lower i would give five stars.
