Chasing a Plate is in Oaxaca, Mexico! Every Friday, the town of Ocotlan de Morelos holds its tianguis or open aired market where people come in from the rural areas and surrounding countryside to sell their wares. We catch a bus from Oaxaca (details below) direct to Ocotlan market (20 pesos/$1USD) to check it out.

Ocotlan market is famous for a few different kinds of foods. Empanada de amarillo oaxaca which is a giant tortilla that is folded in half and filled with amarillo mole, nieves or ices, barbacoa chivo and tejate, a pre-Hispanic drink made from corn, cacao and the pip of the mamey fruit. We manage to sample all of Octolan market's specialties!

Tejate: 7 peso/$0.40USD
Empanada de amarillo: 25 peso/$1.30USD
Nieves: 20 peso/$1USD
Barbacoa chivo meal: 100 peso/$5USD

Where to catch the bus: http://bit.ly/2pIzRKP (the pin for the station is incorrect on this map. Instead of turning left to head down to the pin, turn right and head up the road).

What an amazing day at Ocotlan Market Mexico!

We hope we've inspired you to eat and explore like a traveler, not a tourist.
