Tlayudas El Negro (Doña Martha)
Tlayudas Libres Doña Martha
Oaxaca's most famous late-night tlayuda stall, freshly grilled over charcoal on the street; expect long queues and cash only.
Located at No. 212 Calle de Los Libres, between Morelos and Murguía, this is the most famous tlayuda spot in Oaxaca. Large corn tortillas are folded and grilled over street-side charcoal until crispy and the cheese melts, filled with pork lard paste, black bean purée, and string cheese, with options of cured beef, dried pork, or chorizo, before dining at plastic tables inside. Peak wait times can be 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cash only, with a portion costing about 80-120 MXN. Most records show it operates from evening until early morning, with varying opening times; arriving after 20:00 is recommended.
Opening hours
Nightly from approx. 19:00 to early morning (sources vary, latest around 06:00)
