I am a Chef

Hello, I’m Diego, a local host and chef from Oaxaca. I take great joy in exploring the city’s heart - walking through the historic center, visiting Santo Domingo, and discovering new art galleries and museums. What I love most about Oaxaca is its vibrant mix of flavors, culture, and creativity. As a chef, I know where to find the best food for every taste and budget - from authentic street food to fine dining experiences. I’m also passionate about street art and enjoy connecting with local artists in neighborhoods like Jalatlaco, Xochimilco, and Mitla. With deep knowledge of Oaxacan cuisine and mezcal, I look forward to sharing the city’s rich traditions, hidden gems, and warm spirit with you.
