Tejate is a corn and cacao-based drink traditional to the state of Oaxaca.  It originates back from the pre-hispanic era and was initially used during ceremonies.  It continues to be popular in Mixtec and Zapotec villages, especially around the area of San Andrés Huayapam, although it´s also well-known by people in and around other areas of Oaxaca.

Join us  to make tejate with Doña Julia, who was born and raised in Yatareni and has been making this delicious beverage alongside her mother since she can remember. Doña Julia works to transform locally-grown corn into a myriad of delicacies, from fresh tostadas to nicuatole and tejate.

Doña Julia is the lovely matriarch of several generations in Yatareni, and she has been filling bellies with delicious corn-based food for many decades now. Each day she prepares fresh tostadas, nicuatole, and other scrumptious things for sale in the city center.
