Where One of Oaxaca’s Only Michelin-Starred Chefs Loves to Eat

Welcome to The Relisher’s Oaxaca, Mexico edition! This week, I met with Thalía Barrios García, the chef and cocinera (traditional cook) behind two of the city’s most exciting restaurants: La Cocina de Humo and Levadura de Olla—one of only two Michelin-starred restaurants in Oaxaca.

Below, the local chef shares her favorite restaurants, the must-visit Oaxaca restaurants for travelers, her go-to coffee shop, top mezcal experience, and more.
