Tasajo is Oaxacan salt-cured thin-sliced beef, grilled over wood coals at the Pasillo de Humo and served with avocado, salsa and warm tortillas to order.
Tasajo is the thin-sliced, salt-cured beef that defines the Pasillo de Humo grill alley at Mercado 20 de Noviembre, smoking over wood coals every lunchtime.

Served with avocado, tortillas and salsa, it is the canonical Oaxacan lunch.
