La Escondida

Fodor's Review:

The outdoor lunch buffet, served from 1:30 to 6:30, is a great reason to venture outside the city limits. (It's 3 km east of Oaxaca on the road to Mitla.) Waiters bring you a welcome cocktail and a typical appetizer, such as taquitos de pollo (small tacos filled with chicken) or memelas (fried discs of corn meal topped with goodies). You then select from more than 70 Mexican dishes, including several kinds of meat fresh from the grill. You can linger here, listening to wandering mariachi and marimba musicians—and let the kids loose on the small playground.
