Tlayudas El Chepil is worth the journey. The location and restaurant may not be for everyone, but we loved it. From ordering without a menu, watching the son prepare our tlayuda outside on the sidewalk, to the enjoyment of the food...even had fun when my agua mineral spritzed all over! 75 Pesos for the tlayuda , three links of delicious chorizo and two bottles of water. Astonishing! Our tip was more than the bill........Please let your hair down and make the venture. read more

There are loads of places where you can buy your typical Oaxacan late night snack: Tlayuda, but I must say (after visiting several) this is one of the best in town! I love the small (invisible during the day) restaurant with only 3 tables, if you come with a group they can but tables and chairs outside also. The family that runs it are very friendly and efficient. They cook the Tlayudas and meat outside and prepare them inside together with the tostadas (hard tacos with meat, cheese and vegetables). I personally love the Tlayudas with Quesillo. You can add tasajo (thin steak type meat) but the Tlayuda sencillo, so only cheese is more than enough for me. Of course with a nice refreshing drink, if you want they also have coffee and Champurrado (a drink that tastes like hot chocolate). The best thing of this place is that it's in the same street as the botanic garden/Santo Domingo church, it's pretty cheap and it's open daily from about 8pm to 1:30am. read more

Excellent place to have dinner. It's very authentic. I was visiting with a group of 10 and we all loved the Tlayudas. There is a few varieties but with a large group we got to try them all. I personally like the Tlayudas with "sesina" and "quesillo". read more
