Tacos = bomb.com Yes to tacos. They are all great. Pozole was good too. But tacos would be a far better choice. Best tacos in Oaxaca in my opinion. It’s a family restaurant. I think you might have a chance to let your Spanish shine.

Search no more! Want real local food? Go here! Great tacos and quesadillas. Food is great taste and fair price. In a real local Mexican setting.

The proportions and quality of the meat here is just — wow. History was made here. This was the first time I ever had Carnitas con Chicarron. I’ll remember this day for the rest of my life.

Wonderful food in a bright, very clean environment. I’ve had their Tortas, Tacos, and pozole. Large servings, delicious fillings, tasty condiments. The Tacos de Lengua are great!

Amazing pozole, very friendly staff (they appear to be a family), fast service and great prices. This is my third pozole in Mexico and it's the best so far. They also have tacos and all kinds of Mexican dishes. Really great stuff!

Service: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Hygiene and cleanliness: 10/10 I went to this place 4 times in my week long stay, it is open in the evenings so perfect for dinner ☺️ We had Pozole Chicken (Way too good) Al Pastor Tacos, Gringa, Quesadillas and everything was amazing 🤩

They gave me a mix of tacos. I appreciated the server offering that as a suggestion. I took a bite out of one in the photo as you can see. Sorry I couldn’t wait ;) All of them were excellent! The service was great too! Would gladly return. This is clearly a ‘mom and pop’ taco joint, so the person who gave a poor review for them not having wifi, jesus Murphy! What reality are you living in? Give them a break! The average rational person will not be disappointed here. Clearly people in need of wifi for a 20 minute taco eating experience should avoid this place. Lol, my goodness

It was a great experience for us, food tasted good, guacamole was nice, and the price was affordable! It had a very local taste, and the spices and the garnish were good! We would definitely recommend, given the great price quality ratio.

A waiter car really make a difference at a restaurant. Ours was excellent! He made us feel welcome and gave us great recommendations. I can say all the tacos and burritas we ate were delicious. No this is not the fine dining that most people are looking for in Oaxaca, but for some tasty tacos and cold beers this really hit the spot.

Had tacos - chicken, beef and pork. Each was delicious. The sauces they provided were delicious and very complimentary to each. If youre looking for a simple place with delicious tacos and good service, you won't be disappointed.

This is a great neighborhood spot to grab some REAL food. No fancy food and fake atmosphere. If you want good food and a hometown neighborhood restaurant stop in here. The Pozole is very good. Try the tongue taco's. Before you leave make sure to get a slice of the dessert corn cake.

Great for late night munchies and wanting some real local casual food at excellent prices. Nothing fancy here so move on if your looking for that, however looking for great locals food your in the right place. Cleanish, excellent service, very friendly, safe environment for nighttime food. Live music was traditional Mexican and fun, remember to tip them please. Did I mention service was excellent!

We ordered lots of food togo and it was great! The server was very friendly, the price was very nice ( 2 grande posoles, 4pcs of 3kinds of tacos & extra guacamole were less than 300 pesos) they even wrapped the soup with tape !

It's fine. Thought it was cheap and cheerful, but compared to any other plastic chair place it's fairly standard. The quality of the meat and guac isnt good. The guac is neon...
