Oaxaca Taqueria
“The double tortilla soft shell tacos are slamming here, especially their $2 happy hour deal from 4pm-7pm.”
“Really great tacos, open late, usually can get a seat inside (or easy to take out), BYOB, chill atmosphere, and you can't beat the price.”
“Plus, I can be in and out of there with my food in about 10 minutes, happily plopped back onto my stool at Mission Dolores.”

It's a small place & the staff is friendly. Nothing glamorous – I wouldn't take a date here, but it was a great option for catching up with a friend. Great prices! I was really hoping for an empanada, but having fish tacos soothed that wound. The fish tacos were pretty great, but the side of corn was too spicy/hot for my weak palette. I guess I took the risk when I ordered it, but, a little heads up on the menu probably would've helped.
Overall an a-ok, but not memorable, experience. Worth your try!
This is one of the most flavorful Mexican restaurants around. They have a great selection of dishes cooked with mostly locally sourced ingredients. It's no wonder they have multiple locations throughout the city!
I had the Korean taco, the cold pickled cactus taco, and the mole chicken in this tiny chill hole in the wall in Park Slope. All three were super delicious and had awesome spicy balanced juicy flavours. I would gladly eat any of them and all of them again right now. My favourite was the Korean with the bulgolgi beef – worked amazingly well as a taco. Friendly quick staff, 4 tables maybe, very low key, very worth passing by for an affordable awesome meal in Park Slope.
My experience with the Oaxaca Taqueria on the U.E.S. has been very hit or miss, service-wise, but good food-wise. This location of O.T. is great in terms of both service AND food. Plus, I can be in and out of there with my food in about 10 minutes, happily plopped back onto my stool at Mission Dolores. Ha! Per usual, great food; can't go wrong with their carnitas. I'm especially a fan of their carnitas enchiladas; two of those, smothered in cheese, onions, and verde sauce, is just the perfect amount of food, regardless of whether or not you're day drinking. 😉
Came for the 2,50$ happy hour tacos and left happy, full and feeling like I stole something as the prices were so good. Phoned the order in 1 minute before the end of happy hour from outside the window of the place as I had my dog with me and the guy, even though they were slammed, brought my order to me outside with a huge smile and brought me my change. The bean tacos ruled, the tortillas were done perfectly and they weren't overloaded like most places, so my lap remained clean after chowing down. My partner had the pork and the chicken tacos and he loved his as well.
Taco happy hour ends at 6pm and I got here 6:15pm 🙁 It used to last until 7. Anyway, I got the pork and black bean tacos ($3.50 each) and they tasted great, but weren't that filling. The beers they serve are bottled Corona or canned Tecate ($4). In a really convenient location near the bars on 5th Ave and close to the Union St subway stop.
Friday night delivery – fast (35 mins total)
Guac has lots of avocado and lime flavor, some corn mixed in. Chips come in a plastic bag. Also served with chipotle? salsa.
Esquite had lots of corn, a bit apicy.
2 stars for food quality but 3 bc of 3 taco with rice and beans special. Korean taco is the best but not in comparison to more authentic ones. The sauce makes it tasty. The chicken mole one has good flavor but I decided I don't like stewed meat on tacos. Same with the barbacoa.
Not again.
I have to give this taqueria just mediocre ratings. I had three tacos: an al pastor, a Korean, and a chicken mole. The best taco of the lot was the Korean, which is not what I would have expected from a Mexican restaurant. The al pastor taco was actually the worst of the bunch: the spices were so strong, particularly the salt, that it completely ruined the taco. I could barely taste the pineapple over the intense saltiness. The chicken mole taco was pretty average as well. I would be willing to pay a little more for truly gourmet Mexican, but based on the quality and size of the tacos (average and medium-small), the prices are pretty steep. In fact, I think that the $ rating this place gets is flat out wrong, based on an average sized meal cost of over $15, I would put this place in a $$ category.
