Barbacoa Obispo Cocina Rural is a barbacoa restaurant in San Felipe del Agua, Oaxaca, that cooks meat in an underground stone-lined pit and serves it in Oaxacan masa formats.

Overview

Obispo centers on barbacoa cooked underground in a hot, stone-lined oven, served with a focus on Oaxacan cooking. It is listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide Mexico, and Vanguardia counted it among the taco establishments in that year's selection. It closes on Mondays and takes reservations through OpenTable.
