Is "foodgasm" a word? Well, it should be, because the Third Encuentro de Cocineras Tradicionales de Oaxaca (Traditional Oaxacan Cooks) and all their delicious offerings at the new convention center was, and still is, a taste treat overload.
Everywhere one looked.... temptation.
Hungry yet?
There were over sixty booths, each one offering mouth watering dishes.
And of course, one's eyes are larger than one's stomach.
I just looked for the most part, but succumbed to this super dish from Tehuantepec, of pork, an incredible potato/egg dish served with a perfect salsa.
And so good to see the Mendoza sisters from Teotitlan del Valle, some of the best Oaxacan cooks and quite renown.
And such nice and good friends. They gave me a freebie of their fabulous mole negro.
Then, I was happily full and just wandered around the huge space and drank in and ate up the good vibes... and took more pictures of the food and the amazing concineras, but you're hungry now, so go eat. I'll post more mañana.

Is this new convention center a part of las canteras? (Rock quarries) and the ciudad de archivos?
Yes, it is quite beautiful and impressive there, but the concineras still preferred the Plaza de la Danza, primarily for location.
Yes, this is way out of the way but I like that it expands the territory in Oaxaca and gets things outside el centro. Besides, it's an easier walk for me as my apartment is in Jalatlaco.
