Oaxaca has many traditional drinks and snacks. This place is one of the most popular places to buy them. If you are daring to try new flavors, I recommend you the Chilacayota water. Also, there is a traditional snack (to name it someway) called "Piedrazo". Is an stale and dry bread with vinegar, carrots, quesillo and some spicy. I know it may sound grouse, but, we love it!
