La Oaxaquense Food Truck

Tlayuda

The defining Oaxacan dish — a large, crisped tortilla base layered with black bean paste, quesillo, and your choice of meat, cooked on a comal until the edges char and the cheese melts into the beans

Tamales Oaxaqueños

Banana-leaf-wrapped tamales with a softer, moister masa than their corn-husk counterparts, typically filled with mole negro and chicken or pork

Tasajo or Cecina plate

Thinly sliced, dried or salt-cured beef or pork that's the backbone of Oaxacan meat cookery — grilled to order and served with refried beans and fresh tortillas

Agua fresca

House-made fruit waters that change daily — look for hibiscus or tamarind, which pair well with the rich, mole-heavy dishes
