Tlayudas La Chinita — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Not sure what happened to the old listing. They had a ton of reviews and I had contributed prior. These tlayudas are simply awesome. Locals and tourists alike line up and wait for these delicious treats. You take a number from the young man at the end and wait for your turn. On a weekday at 9 pm I waited for 40 or so minutes. They are quick and diligent but the demand is very high. The first time I went I over ordered not knowing how big a regular tlayuda was and how filling it would be. They look thin but that thinness goes a long way. Happy to report that leftovers reheat very, very well either in a toaster oven or a skillet with a little oil. Get some flame grilled proteins. The perfect accompaniment along with the delicious salsas and radish. I will never not go here when visiting Oaxaca. People that say they are similar to others in town .. well I don’t know what...

Def recommending the smaller version to try. As the grande would be too much, even for 2 persons (Unless you haven't been eating for several...

Overrated. I don't know why Netflix picked this place as the "best" for tlayudas. Their local ringer must be a relative. Atmosphere is nice, the owners are nice, but the tlayudas are bleh. We took ours to go & by the time we got home (not long after) the tlayudas had fallen apart & become mushy. For all the cheese they seemed to have put on it you couldn't taste anything. Maybe it's better if you eat it right there, but after 15 years of eating tlayudas in restaurants and off an abuela's grill just down from my house, Chinita was one of the most disappointing...
