El Sabor de Oaxaca 919-359-1477

Opened by Rodolfo San Juan and Azalea Villalobos, the husband-and-wife team from the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, where they owned a restaurant, and where San Juan’s family has been in the business for generations.

The menu also offers tacos, sopes, huaraches and other familiar dishes, as well as a few dishes difficult to find elsewhere in the Trianlge. Tlayudas, for one, a popular Oaxacan street vendor food featuring a large toasted corn tortilla spread with refried beans and topped with cabbage, avocado, Oaxacan cheese and your choice of meat (beef tenderloin or pork). Huevos rancheros, atole (a warm masa-thickened porridge popular since pre-Columbian times) and other breakfast specialties are offered from 7 to 11 am.

Hours of operation:
