"Almú is located in the fields of San Martín Tilcajete, a small town 45 minutes outside Oaxaca. The Oaxacan restaurant with an open-air kitchen is the ideal setting to begin or end a visit to one of the town’s many alebrije workshops, where you can see and learn about the traditional hand-carved wooden sculptures painted with natural dyes. All their dishes—like tasajo, a smoked and roasted dried beef, freshly made tlayudas, entomatadas, and tortillas stuffed with chicken and bathed in black mole—come in generous portions that can (and should) be shared. Bring some friends, grab a table made from a local tree trunk, and think about seriously getting into woodworking." - Liliana López

"Almú is a hidden smoke kitchen near Cerro María Sánchez, the sacred mountain in the Ocotlán district of Oaxaca, about 40 mins away from the city center. Located inside a copal tree reservoir, Almú serves homemade food prepared daily by cooks from the region, including delicious tortillas, quesadillas, and empanadas from the comal; black mole with rice and chicken; grilled veggies with quesillo that are melted under the comal; and the most delicious salsa de carne frita (pork ribs fried with a lot of garlic, and served with tomatillo sauce and frijoles de la olla).
