2. Spice City
If you like spicy foods than you will love any and all foods that hail from Oaxaca, because most of them involve chilies and a whole lotta flavor. In fact, Oaxaca boasts more kinds of chilies than anywhere else in Mexico, and that’s saying a lot. And the chilies, in addition to other spices and herbs, are part of what make Oaxaca’s most famous dish, mole, so tasty.
