AlmuAlmu

For an adventure off the beaten path, make the trek to this rustic countryside kitchen south of Oaxaca City. More than once, you will wonder if you're headed in the right direction, up until you find an expansive shed with an open-air dining room surrounded by plants, trees, and pottery. Sweet smoke wafts from the kitchen, which is powered by burning logs that cooks move around with their hands. The offerings are traditional: Crispy memelas, hearty enmoladas enrobed in mole, and sizeable tlayudas stuffed with local cheese. Excellent tableside salsas enliven everything they touch. It goes without saying that this outdoor experience has plenty of charm and also assumes that guests don't mind dining with the elements.
