If you are planning a trip to Puerto Escondido, you will discover that in this magical corner of Oaxaca, gastronomy also tells stories: ancestral flavors, fresh ingredients that seem to have just been taken from the sea, and recipes that resonate with the warmth of its people.
In this article, we invite you to discover three dishes that are a true representation of local flavor and culture.
Close your eyes and imagine the crunch of a freshly made corn tortilla. It is large, golden, and its surface is filled with flavors that envelop you: refried beans, cheese that melts and fuses with the sauce, that lard that gives it a unique touch. Whether accompanied with beef jerky, cecina or even vegetables.
This iconic dish is not only delicious, but it carries with it the spirit of community, where sharing a tlayuda is like sharing an intimate conversation with Oaxaca.
Also known as the "Oaxacan pizza," tlayuda has pre-Hispanic roots. In ancient times, large tortillas were prepared as a way to preserve corn, and gradually they became a versatile dish.
One of the dishes that best captures the essence of Puerto Escondido. The smoky aroma of the embers mixes with the freshness of the fish, seasoned with a chili sauce that awakens all your senses. The combination of intense, but balanced flavors is a tribute to the ocean that surrounds this beautiful region.
The term "a la talla" refers to the preparation of marinated and grilled fish on traditional grills, which has become very popular throughout the Mexican Pacific coast.
Immerse yourself in the freshness of Puerto Escondido shrimp ceviche, a true treasure of the Oaxacan coast. Prepared with fresh shrimp marinated in lime juice, each bite reveals the perfect combination of juicy tomatoes, red onion, cilantro and a subtle hint of chili that awakens the senses.
This dish is not only a delight for the palate, but an invitation to enjoy the essence of the sea, all while relaxing in Oaxaca.
The gastronomy of Puerto Escondido is an experience for the soul. It is not just about eating, it is about immersing yourself in traditions, in the heart of Oaxaca, where each dish is a story told with fresh ingredients and ancestral techniques.
Beyond these three culinary treasures, there are 7 types of moles, tichinda tamales and many other delicacies that you can only discover here.
