La Flamita Mixe Taquería
La Flamita Mixe Taquería is a multi-branch taquería in Oaxaca City serving al pastor, tortas, alambres and gringas, with inexpensive espadín mezcal.
Overview
Oaxaca Travel Tips lists La Flamita Mixe as having several locations in the city. The menu includes tacos al pastor, tortas, alambres and gringas, and the guide notes that glasses of espadín mezcal were sold for 25 pesos. Espadín is the agave most commonly used for mezcal in Oaxaca. The name refers to the Mixe, an Indigenous people of the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, though the guide does not explain the connection. It gives no street addresses or founding date.
Context
Oaxaca de Juárez has its own taco culture built on local ingredients such as tasajo (thin salted beef), cecina enchilada (chile-rubbed pork), chorizo, quesillo and chile de agua, served alongside the tlayudas and memelas the state is known for. Street carts are not allowed to operate in the city on Wednesdays, although the rule is often relaxed on holidays.
