But going out for breakfast in Oaxaca City excites me. That\u2019s just how good and creative the food is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the <strong>modern use of traditional ingredients<\/strong> that find their way onto Oaxaca breakfast menus. And as a result, <strong>I generally suggest ordering one of the house specialties<\/strong>. They tend to be more interesting than your standard plate of eggs, beans, and meat served with salsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <strong>a few places others may consider the best brunch in Oaxaca that I didn\u2019t include<\/strong> because they were already featured on my list of best restaurants in Oaxaca.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest ones that come to mind are the restaurant and bakery, <strong>Boulenc<\/strong>, and <strong>Ancestral Cocina Traditional<\/strong>.

Las Chilmoleras: A Unique Breakfast in Oaxaca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/pHJxQko9Qjhu2DTy5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jalatlaco<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Oaxaca breakfast restaurant takes <strong>chilaquiles to a whole new level with its six different variations<\/strong>. But what impresses me the most about the menu at Las Chilmoleras is how traditional ingredients find their way onto the menu in untraditional ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, vegetarians won\u2019t have trouble finding a dish to satisfy since the menu leans heavily on the use of mushrooms, beans, and goat cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The building itself is a bright turquoise cafe on the edge of Jalatlaco, towards centro. There are a few tables inside and at least as many outside on the grassy corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, it also faces the busy street, Rep\u00fablica. But at this point, you should be used to loud noises in Mexico! Jaja. I would definitely put Las Chilmoleras on your list of breakfast restaurants in Oaxaca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Chepiche Cafe: An Inviting Patio for Brunch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccd<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/hWfmABfzpHDEGGE69\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Xochimilco<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The enchanting courtyard at Chepiche Cafe is filled with trees and tropical plants. On the edge, beautiful white columns frame a covered seating area that is decorated with large art canvases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the menu, there are a lot of traditional plates of eggs, but I recommend adventuring to <strong>try one of their more creative dishes<\/strong>, such as La Santa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/breakfast-oaxaca-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"A close up view of one of the best breakfast, Oaxaca.

The green leaf is stuffed with beans and cheese and enveloped in a red sauce that has an incredible depth of flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s topped with perfectly poached eggs and served with fried plantains, which balance the slight spiciness of the sauce. I\u2019ve been dreaming about eating breakfast here again ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

I decided on the bacon and egg sandwich which turned out to be incredible. The caramelized onions and sriracha mayo took this sandwich over the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\"><strong>Traveling to Oaxaca?<\/strong> You&#8217;ll want to read about my experience on  <a href=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/oaxaca-mezcal-tour\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6257\">this ancestral mezcal tour<\/a> with a local family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Pan:am Oaxaca Breakfast Spot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/w1rnTa3vNtYVBWHJ8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Centro<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/nByeqk9Q1tgo7GZG7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reforma<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two locations for Pan:am Oaxaca. The location in centro is close to Santo Domingo Church while the larger Reforma location is northeast of the city. The breakfast into lunch menu includes a lot of <strong>traditional Mexican breakfast dishes but with unique variations<\/strong> such as the use of nopales in their huevos divorciados. All of the eggs are local and organic too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the sandwiches are also rooted in Mexican traditions, such as the house made roasted pork leg in adobo on sourdough. There&#8217;s also a hummus and vegetable sandwich available. And I had to chuckle when I read the option to add bacon to the veggie sandwich. All are served with your choice of potatoes or house salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The evening menu (after 3pm) looks very similar but thins out a lot of the breakfast dishes. Overall, this is a solid Oaxaca breakfast restaurant with courtyard seating at both locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Amor del Cafe: Homemade Breakfast in Oaxaca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/koS4zWpnqsnmeKZk8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Map<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cafe moved from its Jalatlaco location to just over the other side of the highway, near the Pante\u00f3n General. It&#8217;s a little bit of a trek but they continue to serve incredible breakfast dishes and now have a small outdoor patio. <strong>You\u2019d be missing out if you don\u2019t eat breakfast in Oaxaca at Amor del Cafe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amor del Cafe has a long and varied menu of traditional Mexican food and other items that includes sandwiches, salads, and bagels. As a fan of savory breakfast, the enchiladas coloradito with chicken caught my eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/breakfast-oaxaca-centro-1024x673.jpg\" alt=\"Two vertical images of breakfast in Oaxaca, Centro.

The coffee was strong but not bitter. And the small plate of papaya was a nice start. But it was the <strong>beautiful plate of enchiladas smothered in a rich mole coloradito<\/strong> that stole the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mole was an incredible balance of spicy, chocolatey rich goodness. I made sure to soak up every ounce of sauce that I could with the tortillas. The owner and chef, Christian, even popped out to see if I enjoyed the meal. I&#8217;ve since returned to try the avocado toast with mushrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\"><strong>Love breakfast?<\/strong> Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/breakfast-mexico-city\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"69172\">my top picks for breakfast and brunch in Mexico City<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

And while the food menu is rather small, one review describes Marito &amp; Moglie as &#8220;simplicity refined.&#8221; Plus, I find the low-key atmosphere on the back courtyard especially inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The menu at Marito &amp; Moglie includes some hipster classics such as <strong>yogurt and chia pudding with fresh fruit<\/strong> and avocado toast. But it also expands to <strong>Turkish eggs<\/strong> and a couple of sandwiches. So it\u2019s not exactly a full-on Oaxaca breakfast restaurant. But it is a gem of a cafe for coffee lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Caf\u00e9 Boca del Monte: Oaxaca Brunch With Views<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/TSKfYs3uWCwzNGkg6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Centro<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jewel of Caf\u00e9 Boca del Monte is the third-floor <strong>rooftop terrace with stunning views of Oaxaca City<\/strong> and the surrounding mountains. The menu incorporates traditional food with more modern cafe dishes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For breakfast, half of the menu includes traditional breakfast dishes such as chilequiles, enfrijoladas, and various egg dishes. The other half is labeled as specialties which include a very rich croque monsieur and two vegetarian omelets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/brunch-oaxaca-1024x673.jpg\" alt=\"Two vertical images..

All of the dishes I saw looked great, including the enchiladas suiza and french toast. The lunch menu was also available when I was there. It includes a variety of sandwiches and salads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Grano de Mostaza<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/ytKsGrEGDBqDWWtT7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Universidad<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/wejgQGJHdsyayyWY6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reforma<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The double level warehouse-style building of Grano de Mostaza\u2019s original location embodies the university neighborhood in which it\u2019s located. And the <strong>fun, creative platings<\/strong> reflect the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, every plate I saw was consistently beautiful. The <strong>waffles<\/strong> are topped with fresh fruit and edible flowers. The <strong>large salads<\/strong> appeared incredibly fresh. And the Mexican favorites, such as chilaquiles, proved to be a nice portion for the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/breakfast-in-oaxaca-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Chilaquiles on a round plate.

The second location offers a more tranquil environment on the rooftop of Casa Curtiduria in the neighborhood of Jalatlaco.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The menu is similar, heavy on breakfast dishes with some sandwiches and salads to round it out. And if you like the fresh juices in Mexico, you\u2019ll enjoy the list of a dozen or so detox drinks on the menu at both locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Cafeteria Salamandra<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccd <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/DA2pYoYsExVMCgCn8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Centro<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My friend and I struggle to agree on restaurants, so we were walking to Mercado La Merced for a cheap breakfast in Oaxaca when we stumbled upon this small, unassuming restaurant. It was neutral ground. A new restaurant for both of us. So, we decided to give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The menu includes the usual breakfast items &#8211; <strong>entomatadas, enfrijoladas, enchiladas, chilaquiles, omelets, and eggs<\/strong> as you\u2019d like. So I was expecting the usual for a place like this &#8211; a decent breakfast with the typical flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I came here to report the rich dishes coming out of the kitchen at Cafeteria Salamandra. The enchiladas suizas were the best I\u2019ve ever had. And the dark red salsa on the table had a depth of flavor beyond just being spicy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My friend\u2019s club sandwich was also fabulous. The bread was perfectly toasted and layered with chicken, ham, and a fried egg with all the typical accompaniments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also serve fresh juices and smoothies to round out your breakfast. While the menu is simple, I didn\u2019t hesitate to add this restaurant to the best breakfast in Oaxaca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cheap Breakfast in Oaxaca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout Mexico, eating breakfast at the local mercado is one of the cheapest options. And fortunately, the mercados in Oaxaca are plentiful and spread throughout the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also find street food carts in the mornings selling memelas, tacos, tamales, and more. But keep in mind, on Wednesday street carts are not allowed in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mercado Breakfast in Oaxaca<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t go wrong with eating a cheap breakfast at the bustling <strong>Mercado 20 de Noviembre<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/hDixCVHqYWCCjcfx5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>) and the surrounding stalls. Although I prefer <strong>Mercado de la Merced <\/strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/JEJKPSuF2UJc4yep6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>) for its more tranquil atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside you\u2019ll find the top-rated <strong>Fonda Rosita<\/strong> and <strong>Fonda Florecita<\/strong>. And at <strong>La Cosecha Organic Market<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/FL8s2fpBJ5ajEzS86\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>) you can eat a traditional Oaxacan breakfast and shop for organic produce, honey, and other items at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re up for an adventure, head to the biggest local market in Oaxaca, <strong>Central de Abastos<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/akb15Ysy9swG3NG3A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>) where you\u2019ll need to watch your valuables (or better yet, leave them at home). It\u2019s easy to get lost in this sprawling market but you\u2019ll find some gems including the <strong>famous Memelas Do\u00f1a Vale<\/strong>\u2014her morita salsa lives up to the hype!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Street Food for Breakfast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the mercados, <strong>street carts are another place to find a cheap breakfast in Oaxaca<\/strong>. Those with more of a fixture in the city will have several women working the large comal and plastic stools for customers to sit. The memelas at Memelas San Agust\u00edn (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/1U6m3JSeNBpckXQf8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>) draw a quickly rotating crowd each morning and into the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"803\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cheap-breakfast-oaxaca-1024x803.jpg\" alt=\"A woman reaches to tend to the large round comal where she is cooking memelas, the ultimate cheap breakfast in Oaxaca.\" class=\"wp-image-6440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cheap-breakfast-oaxaca-1024x803.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cheap-breakfast-oaxaca-638x500.jpg 638w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cheap-breakfast-oaxaca-250x196.jpg 250w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cheap-breakfast-oaxaca-768x602.jpg 768w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cheap-breakfast-oaxaca-150x118.jpg 150w, https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/cheap-breakfast-oaxaca.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another favorite of mine is <strong>Tacos Del Carmen<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/kZJU4q7u6YX92mdJ6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). Since 1974, they have served quick snacks such as tacos (think the larger rolled variety), quesadillas, and memelas. They are known for their chile relleno which depending on the chile agua (a local chile used) can be fire spicy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite is the large empanadas amarillo. Oaxaca empanadas are of a different variety than you find in other parts of Mexico. In Oaxaca, they are heated on the comal instead of being fried. And in this case, filled with mole amarillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took a little getting used to the idea of having a torta for breakfast. But I enjoy eating the chorizo and egg torta at <strong>Tortas La Hormiga <\/strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/YpxyCQej1FFpMCj87\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>), located on one corner of Conzatti Park. It makes for a quick breakfast that you can take with you or eat in the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, that rounds out my list of best places to eat breakfast in Oaxaca City, Mexico. As you can see Oaxacan food lives up to the hype, even for breakfast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honestly, I don&#8217;t usually go out to eat breakfast.
