About La Oaxaqueña

La Oaxaqueña offers authentic Mexican cuisine, distinct from Tex-Mex. The restaurant serves delicious dishes, such as the chicken chimichanga meal and enchiladas with handmade corn tortillas, black mole sauce, and fresh toppings. The Oaxacan dishes are amazing, with highlights like molotes, a surprising vegetarian appetizer. The black mole sauce is noted for its decadence, while the horchata, enhanced with cantaloupe and pecans, is incredible. The atmosphere features Hispanic music and a cozy environment, though it is a small place with just a couple of dozen seats and standard bright color decorations. Visitors have noted the quick service, although some wish for more interaction from the staff. The restaurant is described as a "hidden gem" with a vibrant atmosphere, excellent service, and superb, flavorful, and fresh food. Customers have enjoyed the Oaxacan Dip, sopes, empanadas, and a large steak burrito, as well as the generous portions and great prices.

great food and presentation, yum!

Finally genuine home cooked Mexican food that isn't Tex Mex. Great humble atmosphere. The food was delicious, large servings.
the Margarita was somewhat average, tasted like they used a mix instead of it being prepared fresh. Service was good, kitchen just a little slow. The overall experience was very good.

We really enjoyed the food. The Tlayuda was giant and delicious. I had the empanadas fritas which were hands down the best. The staff was amazing and we had our 4 daughters so it was nice to see it’s a family oriented restaurant.
