One of the richest states, culinary speaking, is Oaxaca which is located in the southwest of the country. Oaxacan cuisine has been influenced by diverse indigenous groups that live in the area such as the Zapotecs and Mixtecs, as well as the varied geography of the state: from mountains to the coastal areas. This cuisine, uses specific ingredients such as chocolate, mezcal, mole and chapulines (grasshoppers) when preparing the typical dishes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AGUAMIEL-01-03-300x199.png\" alt=\"AGUAMIEL-01-03\" width=\"650\" height=\"432\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Mexico City, during the past few years, we have seen a renaissance of Oaxacan restaurants opening its doors and inviting locals and foreigners to taste the traditional dishes and flavors the state offers.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of our top three restaurants where one can enjoy Oaxacan food in Mexico City:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3511\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3511\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-10-at-5.24.38-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-05-10 at 5.24.38 PM\" width=\"550\" height=\"709\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3511\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tuna Ceviche at Guzina Oaxaca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guzina Oaxaca<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Located on Avenida Masaryk (Mexico City&#8217;s 5th Avenue), Guzina Oaxaca is led by Alejandro Ruiz an acclaimed Oaxacan chef and creator of Casa Oaxaca (in Oaxaca city).

A few years later he decided to venture into a more casual eatery: Aguamiel in la Roma neighborhood, which opened in December 2015. The restaurant serves traditional dishes prepared in a contemporary manner, it is important to mention that the majority of the ingredients are brought in twice a week from Oaxaca.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3509\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AGUAMIEL-01-01.png\" alt=\"AGUAMIEL-01-01\" width=\"650\" height=\"432\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tlayuda at Aguamiel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you arrive and see the mezcal cart, you won&#8217;t be able to resist one of the more than 25 different varieties they offer accompanied with some sal de gusano. You must try the salted chapulines (grasshoppers) and of course the tlayuda, with either beef, pork or only vegetables. I recommend you visit Aguamiel with a group, this way you can taste more dishes as the portions are very generous. The restaurant is also open for breakfast where it offers an extraordinary torta de chilaquiles with yellow mole, this is a hearty sandwich filled with tortilla chips dipped in salsa.
