Teocintle-Tika'aya

Av. de la Independencia 12, Oaxaca, 68000, Mexico
$$$$ · Mexican, Contemporary
Just south of the Mercado de La Merced, this tiny little nook of a restaurant is a surprise in every way. With just a handful of tables and no menu in sight, the tasting pulls inspiration from Oaxaca’s Mixteca region. The young chef Toño García cooks with the maturity of someone much older, as he brings refined flair to indigenous preparations. His colorful, accomplished dishes wouldn’t be out of place in far ritzier settings, starting with the avocado croquette crowned with nopales. Fish and plantain wrapped in hoja santa in an aguachile pulls flavors from Mexico and beyond.
Reservations made through Facebook should be guaranteed before arrival to avoid disappointment, and don't forget to bring cash, as credit cards are not accepted.
