El restaurante Origen abrió sus puertas en 2011: cada momento de su evolución ha sido importante para construir su historia actual. Rodolfo Castellanos muestra en él distintos discursos culinarios para comerse a Oaxaca.
"Aoaxaqueñar" es una palabra que este cocinero utiliza para describir sus platillos: risottos, ceviches, carnes y más se mezclan con ingredientes endémicos que les dan una identidad. Origen tiene como fresca alacena la enorme cantidad de ingredientes que se encuentran en los mercados, rancherías, granjas, cultivos y mares de esta tierra.
El umami oaxaqueño está tanto en diferentes tipos de maíces como en la vastedad de hierbas, frutas, verduras, hortalizas, frijoles y chiles existentes; también en procesos como ahumados, tatemados, fermentos, cocciones lentas y más. La elegancia de la sencillez y la armonía son dos de los sellos intrínsecos en el menú, que cambia por temporada.
Origen es un espacio que tiene su propia evolución; y así como en Oaxaca hay un mole por cada región, en este lugar las especias, condimentos, hierbas y otros ingredientes se transforman para ofrecerle al comensal un acercamiento contemporáneo que abre las puertas a técnicas e ideas de distintas partes de México y el mundo.

un deleite para los que buscan experimentar y degustar los mejores mezcales de la región. Inspirado en la sabiduría de María Sabina, este rincón oaxaqueño busca atraparnos con su enorme variedad mezcalera, ya que cuentan con más de 115 tipos de mezcal, que son las estrellas del lugar y adornan su barra principal.
Además de la variedad de mezcales de Oaxaca, Jalisco, Guerrero y Michoacán, Sabina también nos presenta una interesante variedad gastronómica. La filosofía del local es de «Picas + Mezcal», es decir, con platillos para compartir. Un gran punto a favor del lugar.

San Bartolo Coyotepec is responsible for the production of one of Oaxaca’s most popular handicrafts, Black pottery.
For almost all of the town's history, the color of the local pottery was a dull dark gray, until Doña Rosa Real discovered a way to create a shiny black finish to create barro negro pottery. The innovation made the pottery more popular and famous, with Nelson Rockefeller having a collection of her pieces. Doña Rosa died in 1980, but the tradition of making the barro negro pottery is being carried on by Doña Rosa's daughter and grandchildren who stage demonstrations for tourists.

Matatlán "The world capital of Mezcal" is a great point to experience the process of making artisanal mezcal from different agaves. It is worth visiting its different palenques, and the mezcal masters who work them. The national regulations that certify the production of mezcal determine that it must be marketed with a minimum of 45 to 48 degrees of alcohol; however, mezcals of up to 60 degrees of alcohol are produced for local consumption.

Gorgeous Santo Domingo is the most splendid of Oaxaca’s churches, with a finely carved baroque facade and nearly every square centimeter inside decorated in 3D relief with intricate gilt designs swirling around a profusion of painted figures. Most elaborate of all is the 18th-century Capilla de la Virgen del Rosario (Rosary Chapel) on the south side. The whole church takes on a magically warm glow during candlelit evening Mass.

Jalatlaco is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Oaxaca. At a very short distance from the city you can walk through the streets of a colonial-style town. Its cobbled streets, its colorful houses and its unmistakable provincial air would make you feel that you took a trip back in time. Its tranquility is balanced by an active commercial life: although there are hardly any cars passing and there are few people walking, you can always find a charming cafe around every corner.
