Taqueria La Oaxaqueña Foods

I had the Carnitas plate. Excellent. The dining room was clean. You can see into the kitchen when ordering and it looks clean as well. The Carnitas plate and a water was almost $15.00. They have some unusual items (to me) on the menu that look interesting. I’ll be back!

Crispy tastefull beef tortilla with Hot sauce and coconut Juice. Not to busy though, but a great place to visit.

First time here and I can say that I was very impressed! Everything from the tortilla to the salsa was amazing. I had steak, cabeza, and lengua. The steak was seasoned good and the cabeza was nice and fatty which made it juicy. The lengua was decent, it could of had a little more seasoning. My favorite part was the salsa- the red one in particular. Everything about the red salsa was delicious. I didn’t give 5 stars only because I want to go back and see if the food is consistent

Update: I went back and it’s still good! I was even able to get a lot of red salsa.

Another update: a year later (9/5/23). I visited this place for the last time yesterday. I literally have always enjoyed their red salsa and always rave about it. It’s literally what’s saves their food. I ordered steak, chicken, pork, and chorizo tacos. I also tried a sope. It was okay, juicy cause I squirted 1/4 of the bottle of salsa on it. The meat was over cooked, dry and hard. They told me that ‘ran out of red salsa’ which I don’t believe to be true because when you sit down and eat at the restaurant you get a bottle of each salsa. I asked for a bottle and they told me they were completely out - although it was 2 hours until closing and there was literally bottles of salsa on the table. I paid for extra onions and cilantro— which I was not given. There was one lady in particular that seemed to not want to serve me at all and she was directing the other lady on what to say. The individuals true to their culture didn’t seem to have any issues with their food and I could see the juice dripping off while being served their food. So why was mine so dry and 65% inedible? I will keep my original reviews up because at one point I truly did enjoy the food. But after yesterday, I will no longer return, unless I can buy the salsa by itself because the tacos are no longer it for me.

This place is legit. We lived in Austin and in Dallas for 10 years and had some very bland Mexican food when we moved to Greensboro a few months ago. First we found the little storefront these folks own on S Elm, and loved the tamales we got there. The cashier referred us to the restaurant on Summit.

You order at the counter and can either take away or stay in the small eating area. No chips and salsa, no soda fountain, no silverware: it’s very bare-bones and mostly patronized by construction workers on a Monday.

I ordered chilaquiles, my favorite dish ever and one that’s often done pretty badly. Kids got a cheese quesadilla and steak tacos.

Quesadilla was plain (as expected) but made with oaxacan cheese and a great tortilla. Steak tacos were EXCELLENT with flavorful and plentiful meat, crisp onions and cilantro, and served with limes and tasty homemade hot sauces that were actually HOT! Chilaquiles were EXCELLENT with a homemade sauce (not just salsa or enchilada sauce!), nicely cooked eggs, and the right amount of cheese on top. Bonus, the refried beans here are made with black beans and are perfectly seasoned.

Super impressed and can’t wait to go back for the weekend menu items. We saw several people order tlayudas which well also try soon.

They have great customer service and never leaves me waiting for a long amount of time. The food is very authentic and tasty.

I wanted to order in Spanish but I was too nervous... The woman at the counter was so nice and explained all of the menu items to me. I want to support my Latino neighbors so I'm trying to learn Spanish and try new, authentic Mexican food. I ordered entomatados and I swear that is some of the best food I've ever had in my life. Please eat here.

Very happy to have discovered this place, stopped off the highway. Tortillas are fresh. Tacos are authentic. Will definitely go back next time we are in Greensboro!

Update: as promised, stopped back a year later, and this place is still *wonderful*. Ignore negative reviews — tortillas are fresh, and tacos so good they pull us off the highway.

The best Mexican food around.

The BOMB.com! The flavors was on point. I wasn’t expecting all that deliciousness. SN: I like mine plain!

Good food and helpful staff. The girl at the register spoke English, as my I speak limited Spanish, she was so patience with me and helped me make a good choice. My 5 year old daughter and I had a lunch date here and she’s a picky eater (she approved) Definitely will be back for both the service and food. I love these holes in the walls types of restaurants. Lucky for me this is close to my house too

I wanted some authentic tacos so I googled this location. I ordered chicken and steak tacos and these are THE best tacos I’ve had since I was in Mexico! I will be back 🥳

Best street tacos I ever had, for a good price
