San Felipe del Agua is Oaxaca's hilly northern colonia, where weekends run slow across brunch terraces and pulqueria afternoons. The cooking leans comida casera rather than mole showpieces, with pulque as the local pour. It is the city off duty.

The full San Felipe del Agua food guide is still being researched. In the meantime, see the Oaxaca food guide for the places we cover, or the neighbourhood index.
