Zandunga - Review - Centro - Oaxaca - The Infatuation

"If you’re looking for a place to try food from el Istmo de Tehuantepec while sipping mezcal with beer in preparation for a long night, Zandunga is the place to be. It’s a beautiful patio set in a colonial house in the city center, and, depending on the day, you can listen to local artists playing live music, like son jarocho with a modern twist. While the party is going, order the cochito horneado, which features pork ribs in ancho chili sauce and pineapple. It’s accompanied by mashed potatoes prepared in the regional style with carrots, peas, and olives. Additionally, you should devour the corn tamales, which have a slight sweetness due to the tenderness of the corn, plus garnachas served with picadillo made from finely ground beef." - Mariana Camacho
