Freida Kahlo's Restaurant
You can get most anything you want. At Freida's Restaurant.
OK, it REALLY isn't Kahlo.
Freida is of course, dead. But an enterprising woman who does look like her and dresses like her has a restaurant in the Mercado Morelos. Located in Ocotlan, just south of Oaxaa, in the State of Oaxaca. The Mercado is a huge indoor market of fresh foods and veggies of all kinds. Yes, they even sell the crunchy crickets you may have heard about. The crickets are dessicated and are covered with dried chili powder. They taste just like chicken, er, chiles.
There are probably a hundred merchants in and about.
Freida's doesn't have the crickets, but she does make a great enchilada with chicken, and other local favorite dishes. I had pure papaya juice. Everything I have had here has been scumptious.
I do not miss the Food Court.
