Fonda Rosita — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Wow, we wanted to go to an indoor marketplace and de la Merced was close to our place. We wandered around and found a food court with 8 or 9 stalls with tables. Fonda Rosita looked interesting and we sat and watched some folks eating a soup that looked really good. The waiter was sooo nice and pointed out that they were eating chilaquiles.

Everything comes with BREAD totally included. I got pan dulce to dip in the chocolate and regular pan to mop up my chilaquiles. I could not finish everything, lo siento Rosita! So affordable, total was 130 pesos. Amazing, less than $7USD for a full on breakfast is wild. Attentive, sweet staff, muchisma gracias...

We had the chile relleno with chicken, and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever tasted—perfectly balanced, tender, and deeply satisfying.
