Empanadas del Carmen

Found this by accident whilst exploring Oaxaca city :). The ladies working are so friendly and work hard to give us the yummiest food! My favourite was the Quesadilla De Flor De Calabaza, simple yet delicious! In Sundays they have a more extensive menu. There isn’t a lot of seating so we went around the corner & sat on a bench, easy! It’s nice to get an easy street meal that’s also delicious and affordable😍. The Memelas were great too. They also have fresh agua frescas, the guava was yummy.

Amazing food stall in Oaxaca! The empanadas are big and so tasty. They have simple ingredients but taste so good. Highly recommend! Sunday’s they have a more extensive menu you can order from.

The ladies work organized and with respective hygiene measures. The empanada amarilla was good but what tasted better was the quesadilla con chorizo and spacy sauce.

Good empanadas at slightly higher price. Featured on Netflix apparently. Spicest salsa was not spicy. I am a medium strength spice eater typically. Worth a stop, but if you have limited meals in Oaxaca I would try somewhere else.

Wonderful empanadas. The sauce is heavenly. The Herba Santa (a sort of pepper leave) is beautiful. The tortilla is sumptuous. The only drawback: the chicken’s overdone.

One of the best street food we had in Mexico. Empanadas and Quesadillas are AMAZING!! we tried multiple, salsa verde, salsa amarilla con pollo are highly suggested as well as the oaxaca cheese quesadillas.

High quality and hygienic service producing super flavourful and rich empanadas and quesadillas - the portion of chicken in the empanada could be slightly more. (60 pesos each for the empanada de Amarillo and the quesadilla de flor de cabeza).

So fresh, so delicious, and so glad I came here! Had pretty much everything on the food menu including two quesadillas con flor de calabazas. They have three types of salsa (spicy, medium, and a mild tomato - all fantastic). My favorite was the picante.
