Grasshopper-topped tlayudas and seven moles. Mexico's culinary soul.
If Mexico City is the capital of Mexican street food, Oaxaca is the soul. Tlayudas — massive tortillas topped with black bean paste, quesillo cheese, and chapulines (grasshoppers) — are essentially Mexican pizza, and they're better than actual pizza. The city's seven mole varieties take days to prepare. Mercado 20 de Noviembre has been serving tasajo (dried beef) over open flame since 1978. Mezcal isn't street food, but it's everywhere and it makes everything taste even better.
