El Mixteco, nestled in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, is a vibrant showcase of authentic Oaxacan and Mexican cuisine. The menu shines with traditional delights like garnachas, tlayudas—their Mixta Con Sprite and Al Pastor with Masa Roja standing out—and the surprise star, chapulines, offered as a complimentary botana or infused in the guacamole for a bold, regional twist. The rich Salsa de Molcajete and the smoky Crema de Mezcal elevate the flavors, while dishes like the riquísima picaña and tacos tazajo showcase hearty, well-seasoned meats. Fresh accompaniments such as calabazas asadas, radishes, and crisp salads balance the rustic plates. The unexpected ciabatta sirloin sandwich and juicy burgers bring a modern touch with perfectly crispy fries, delighting even those less inclined toward traditional fare. Paired with refreshing aguas like piña or blackberry juice, every bite at El Mixteco feels like an immersive journey into Oaxacan taste and culture, complemented by inviting ambiance and attentive service.
