“First time here. Ordered a pineapple 🍍 margarita. It's good except it doesn't taste like pineapple 😞🍍. Where is the sliced pineapple on the cup and the maraschino 🍒? But for the sake of not being high maintenance, I will end it here. Just asked. They don't have pineapples. lol“

“Buena la comida“

“Oaxaca Taco’s is hands-down one of the best spots I’ve ever been to! The food is absolutely incredible — fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every single time. Every bite tastes authentic and you can really tell they put care into the ingredients and preparation.

On top of that, the service is unmatched. The staff is always welcoming, attentive, and goes out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of. It’s rare to find a place that balances amazing food with such genuine hospitality, but Oaxaca Taco’s delivers both effortlessly.

If you’re looking for a spot that combines top-tier flavors with top-tier service, look no further. Oaxaca Taco’s truly sets the standard, and I can’t recommend it enough!

“Absolutely delicious food and great service!“

“Authentic Mexican food. I had the chili Relleno which was delicious. The chilequiles verde con carne were a very light green that I have never seen before but they were not lacking in flavor....they were pretty good. The tamales were a bit dry however. Last time we had tacos al pastor which were delicious. The owners are very nice and friendly. A nice find. They only have 4 tables inside. They do mostly takeout...but both times we ate in and noticed alot of repeat customers and the owners greeting them. Nice customer interaction. I will go back and continue to try new things!“

“Todo con un buen sazón y un buen servicio 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Not flashy, simple, deli kind of set up. almost hole in the wall. My first impression was....ummm..naa..but since my wife picked up the place, I kind of kept quiet and was willing to try it. Boy was I wrong!! This place turned out to be AMAZING. Probably one of the best Mexican food we have had. Ask for a burrito with BBQ sauce inside it.“

“The best Barria Pizza EVER. It was flavorful. They stuffed it with meat, as you can see. It was just mouth watering! It was my 1st time trying it and it was an amazing experience! They followed my order and added everything I asked for. They were also very kind and friendly upon walking in. I will definitely be back. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU💕“

“The food is consistent. And DELICIOUS. I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants as it’s my favorite. And this is my go to. Slow-er on the service but that’s due to how incredibly busy they are with take out orders alone. It’s family owned and run. They are so nice and I can’t speak enough about how authentic the food is.“

“My wife and I hired them to do a food truck for after our wedding reception. 15/10 decision. The tacos were incredible esp the General Tso chicken and the bang shrimp tacos. Plus the leftovers that weren't served at the reception hall made great afterparty food. If you like tacos and want to give your late night party crowd a treat after a fun night, highly recommend Tacoholics!“

“We went to El Rancho last month and it was absolutely delicious. The guacamole was very fresh and creamy. We also ordered the steak chimichanga and steak tostadas. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure 😊“

“My only issue was the ordering. First, when I sign into the app it keeps on sending me a link to click to get back into the app, which is annoying. Second, I clicked through online based on a coupon and started ordering, but when I signed in the promo disappeared and I had to keep logging out and in to get it. The app needs to be improved.“

“An authentic Mexican restaurant with a variety of options. I’m not the most expert in Mexican food, but I really liked what I had there. The food was fresh and the lamb tastes great. The inside atmosphere is so energetic and very colorful. The staff were nice and accommodating. Outside street parking is available but usually full during rush hours. Prices are ok, most are average, a little bit overpriced on few dishes. Overall very nice experience and recommended.“

“Alright, let me tell you something—if you’re looking for some real Mexican food, not that fast-food, drive-thru nonsense, then this is the spot. I’m talking about the kind of food that makes you sit back, loosen your belt, and reevaluate every bad meal you’ve ever had. This ain’t no “let’s grab a quick bite” kinda place—this is “cancel your plans, we eating good tonight” territory!

First off, the nachos? Forget about it! My daughter took one bite and straight-up said she may never eat nachos anywhere else again. And I believe her! This place ruins all other nachos for you! The burritos? Massive. The enchiladas? Smothered in sauce like they just got a hug from their abuela. And the salsas? They don’t play around—there’s heat, there’s flavor, and if you can’t handle it, that’s your problem.

And the staff? Man, they treat you like family—like the kind of family that actually likes each other! They keep your drinks full, your chips coming, and they do it all with a smile. Because let’s be real—if you’re working in a place serving food this good, you gotta be in a good mood!

So if you want real Mexican food, stop playing around and come here. Just be ready to leave stuffed, happy, and already planning your next visit. Oh, and tip your server! Don’t be cheap—if you can afford that extra side of guac, you can afford to tip right!“
