El Meson Oaxaqueno - OAXACA DE JUÁREZ

Right around the corner of the zocalo (main center), so easy to find. Variety of typical kitchen from Oaxaca for 100.- pesos. Not many but enough vegetarian options.

The people in my posada mentioned el meson. sunk in an afernoon because it rained hard. good selection of beer and mezcales, very cheap, beautiful waitresses. local Oaxacan clients, did not see any tourist. the next night he returned to try the buffet (95 pesos). Salad...bar to begin and form a girl and make tortillas on the comal while they waited. huh in mol negro, friijoles charros, friijoles negros, chile rellenos de queso, nopales, costilla de puerco en salsa, two or three types of molen plus salsas and more. nothing is dried, it is all in sauce. also with the buffet a sample of the house mezcal in a small plastic cup. what I really liked? black beans and rice had been six days in mexiko, without eating black beans and rice, and try different Oaxacan dishes. el meson oaxaqueno could appeal traveling on a budget, backpacking, lonely planet types. about eight tables plus a counter. inexpensive menu along with the buffet. not fine eating at any distance. not strange. but I enjoyed el meson and the prizes.
