At least when I was there in 2007, the prices were slightly higher than eating at a more typical place but I felt like they were justified. Everything was made with care and thought; the hoja santa wrapped around quesillo was incredible. I only ate at Zandunga once but really enjoyed it, especially the botana platter. I don't really know what istmeno food is either, but the platter had little tostadas with toppings I'd never seen anywhere else.AppleSisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245038276550520125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527222288894433369.post-9784216542569633272009-01-13T13:18:00.000-05:002009-01-13T13:18:00.000-05:00AppleSister; I knew that when I was looking for sp...AppleSister; I knew that when I was looking for specific restaurant recommendations in Oaxaca, I could go to your blog and get info with confidence.<BR/> I'd seen a rather florid review of La Biznaga elsewhere and it gave me doubts. It was difficult to get good Google results on Zandunga.<BR/><BR/>So, from what I'm reading here, you'd rate La Biznaga número uno, and Zandunga número dos?<BR/><BR/>What IS, exactly, "Istmeño cuisine"? I can't help but think of iguanas.<BR/><BR/>Saludos,<BR/> Mike (AKA "Anonimo" on CH and on TT)Don Cuevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512081335891808593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527222288894433369.post-4320175520823519102008-08-02T23:59:00.000-05:002008-08-02T23:59:00.000-05:00Just came back from a month in Oaxaca.

Their "arrachera" was tender. I tried the new El Naranjo and was thrilled. I had been to it with the previous owner Ilyana and found the new owner to be knowledgeable and willing to try new things. I loved the estufada and in particular what he did with the two-toned soup. You could order the the salsa made from one of the soups to be poured over chicken. Couldn't argue with the location either.Lourdeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195847211053491774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527222288894433369.post-61442319481984403192007-09-28T09:38:00.000-05:002007-09-28T09:38:00.000-05:00Those are some gorgeous squash blossoms.

In Puerto we ate at a large garage-type cantina and had squash blossom juice that was wonderful. <BR/><BR/>I've recently posted a picture of the squash blossoms on my photoblog - you should check it out. I will also be posting some pictures of the bay that we stayed on in Peurto (my in-laws home).<BR/><BR/>My husband loves Mexican food, so I will make sure he spends time checking out your site.<BR/><BR/>www.visualpeace.blogspot.comKBaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974540822001512309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527222288894433369.post-74566378364370197732007-09-25T21:02:00.000-05:002007-09-25T21:02:00.000-05:00Ha ha, yes I live to eat.
