Hola!!
I’m Betsy Morales, a Oaxaqueña, someone who was born and raised in the beautiful city of Oaxaca!
Located in the heart of the city, is the world-renown Benito Juarez market, where my family has owned a family restaurant for over 20 years. I know the Oaxaca markets like the back of my hand, as I grew up in the markets.. surrounded by the flavors, smells, culture, traditions, and visitors from around the world!
It is an honor to share with you the traditions and cultures of my beloved Oaxaca.
I will share with you my knowledge of Oaxaca’s internationally recognized gastronomy.
In addition, the “Oaxaca Street Food Tour” supports the lifeblood of our community, generations of local business owners.
As we say in Oaxaca.. !Buen Prevecho!

Along the way we’ll meet market vendors who have been holding steady for decades and even visit the gallery of a group of young artists. We’ll end our journey with a meal in a family-run market restaurant, sampling several different types of the city’s most famous creations, mole,a dish that much like Oaxaca’s rich culinary heritage itself, is the result of numerous ingredients being lovingly and carefully mixed together.
