Casa BacuuzaCasa Bacuuza

Located near Puebla's historic center, Casa Bacuuza is headed by Chef Osiel Solórzano and Chef Abraham Serug. The menu features Mexican cuisine focused on the region of Oaxaca with some open fire cooking (bacuuza translates to "embers" in Zapotec, the indigenous language of Oaxaca). The setting is simple but pleasant with tiled flooring, plaster walls hung with woven handicraft embellishments and wood shelves lined with glazed ceramics. Specialties here include the house mole negro; a risotto of huitlacoche; and pulpo Chintextle, dressed with a paste made from ground chili peppers. The menu is rounded out by several preparations of tlayudas, the Oaxacan street food featuring a crisped corn tortilla folded over to encase various toppings.
