A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

  • My first ‘real’ taco was in Puerto Angel in Oaxaca in 1994. Chicken, tortilla and salsa verde from a cart while I waited for a colectivo to Zipolite. It was transformative. One of the best things I’ve ever eaten. I ordered two and ate six. Perfect simplicity. After many attempts, Ive come close to replicating it. The secret ingredient is, not unsurprisingly, extra fat. Schmalz specifically. And, more importantly, not screwing around w it adding unnecessary ingredients #chickentacos #tacos#tacosdepollo #salsaverde #oaxaca #puertoangel #oaxaca #schmalz #simplicity #comidamexicana #mexicanfood #cocinamexicana #glutenfree #dairyfree #foodphotography #theperfecttaco #ilovetacos #perfecttacos

    Does the schmaltz go in the chicken? Does you use thighs? Whole chicken? Inquiring minds want to know.

    @crothery whole legs, but thighs would be fine (skin on, of course). I add a big blob of schmalz, s&p and a can of cheap beer and toss it in the oven for a few hours (Dutch oven works too). You could also use duck fat, or extra chicken skin in place of schmaltz. Basically a rustic confit.

    @crothery also, I should remark. Once it’s pull-able, I take it off the bone and then add it back into the pan of fat and roast it for another hour or so to make some crispy bits and cook off any water that’s left from the beer. Intensifies the chickeny’ness and improves the overall texture. Don’t by shy w the salt.
