Huatulco is located in beautiful Oaxaca, the culinary capital of Mexico, and a paradise for foodies known for its delicious mole, tlayudas, and chocolate. Our Mexico vacation rentals with chef services bring Oaxacan cuisine to the comfort of your rental home so you can experience this culinary capital’s unique flavors during your getaway. Read on to learn more about Oaxacan cuisine and the culinary packages available with My Huatulco Vacation. We strive to take the stress out of meal planning while enriching your vacation experience with our convenient chef services.
Oaxaca is the culinary capital of Mexico, but what makes Oaxacan cuisine so unique? Oaxaca is incredibly diverse, with 16 Indigenous groups contributing to the cultural and culinary heritage of dishes like mole and tlayudas. Oaxaca cuisine is also influenced by distinct microclimates that grow all the ingredients used in the dishes. From mountainous terrain to tropical coasts, there are large areas to grow the corn, chiles, herbs, and greens that are staples in Oaxacan cuisine. Unlike many other states in Mexico, Oaxaca cuisine remains untouched by European ingredients with a commitment to tradition and homestyle cooking.
With so much diversity in Oaxaca, it’s no surprise that there are dozens of signature dishes to choose from. With My Huatulco Vacation, we can bring the flavors of Oaxacan cuisine to your vacation rental with our chef services. But, before we highlight our packages, we’d like to introduce you to a few of the most popular Oaxacan cuisines:
