The experience at Alfonsina starts the moment you walk into Jorge Leon\u2019s home on the outskirts of Oaxaca Airport. You\u2019ll be driving through windy, narrow streets until you reach one of the many dirt roads of San Juan Bautista La Raya, Oaxaca. The first time you visit Alfonsina, you\u2019ll probably be driving up and down the street a hundred times with no luck finding the place. No signage, Alfonsina is located inside a modest brick home. Home to Jorge, his mom, siblings and cousins. Together they work hard to serve affordable lunch menus to the community nearby and a 5-course menu available to those who seek a simply delicious meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each day, early in the morning the team visits la Central de Abasto market in the heart of Oaxaca to buy fresh fruits and vegetables that are grown in different parts of the state which accompany dishes based on corn, seafood, and meat. Jorge\u2019s family is originally from the Mixteca, a small community 4 hours from the city. This is where the corn and meat come from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be sitting in a naturally-lit room with two communal tables facing a small open kitchen. Jorge\u2019s dad does the nixtamalizaci\u00f3n, <\/em>his mom will be making the tortillas, his siblings will be serving, and one of his cousins will be cooking right next to him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dishes range from an enmolada<\/em> to fresh fish with jicama or a sope <\/em>with sausage sourced from Etla, a small valley in Oaxaca. For dessert a traditional cup filled with fruit jello, yogurt, and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jorge\u2019s career brought him through some of the best restaurants in the country such as Casa Oaxaca and Pujol, though it\u2019s back at home where he\u2019s chosen to do what he loves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alfonsina works based on a direct message reservation system, it is not open to the public. If you\u2019re reading this you\u2019ll want to know how to reserve for your next trip to Oaxaca \u2014 it\u2019s as easy as messaging @cocinan<\/a> on Instagram. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
