I had an absolutely wonderful experience here! Not only was the food delicious, but the staff members were kind and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Thank you to La Oaxaqueña for a great evening! read more

Outstanding tacos and great Vegan options. The Carne Asada and Al Pastor tacos were outstanding! Full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The soy Chorizo tacos were also outstanding! Flavorful and tasty. Chicken Mole was delicious. Service was friendly and fast. read more

Like the taqueria that was renewed in Westwood Park a year later, La Oaxaqueña is looking better than ever through its interior decorations. Its customer service come out pretty decent and promising. Would love to come back only for one thing, deep fried grasshoppers. For over 16 years, La Oaxaqueña had a unique variety of protein choices, from ostrich to venison which were game meats. Grasshoppers are the only bug protein they bring back once again. After 4 years, they're here to stay while they're available, just like Donaji. I love the chewy texture of the exoskeleton. I have one soft taco for tonight. Next time, I'll come back for a pair. Make it a trio! On second thought, I'll keep this a pair. Way back then, I could've sworn I seen how La Oaxaqueña once made batter fried tarantula tempura, but that was removed for safety reasons. I'll be looking forward to find out what La Oaxaqueña has in store for us. read more

We stopped by for a quick bite and I really enjoyed their pastor tacos! Not the best I've had in the Bay Area or Mission, but still really solid. The tamale was a little light on meat and I probably wouldn't get again but tacos were good. Seating is first come, first serve, as most Mexican places are in the area. Quick service and good food, I'd come back. read more

In the ranking of Mission Tacquerias, I would say the quality of the food is near the top. The food is a mix of Oaxacan and Salvadoran (papusas, plátanos, etc.) I got plátanos maduros and a súper taco and my friend got 3 tacos and a papusa. This is the only place on Mission St that serves a super taco as if it is actually from Mexico, with charred onions, chopped jalapeño, and avocado. It's an order at the counter, sit down spot, and it typically takes 10-15 minutes to get the food. There's a good amount of seating but at 9pm on a Thursday is was full and we had to wait a few minutes for a table to turnover. At night, it's on a section of Mission St that can get a little rowdy, but it's right near BART. read more

Stopped by for a late dinner. The surrounding area is not great and the ambience of the restaurant itself is nothing special. When we walked in we were pointed to a table but nobody came. We then realized that it was an order at the counter type of place, no big deal but would have been nice to know when being seated. I ordered a super burrito with pastor. The burrito was finished on the grill which is gave it a nice crunch on the outside. Overall, not very flavorful, smaller than most burritos, and fairly light on the meat. The chips were also stale, we didnt even eat them. I was hoping for better for a $14 burrito. read more

Pastor, regular burrito: B The burrito tasted fine, I had a little higher expectations for a mission burrito. The pastor was tender but didn't have the same sweetness/acidity I typically like from pineapple. And I didn't see any option for choice of beans so it was defaulted to black beans. Convenient online ordering, plenty of options. read more

To be clear, I think the rating inflation makes 3 star to mean mid, or bad. But that's not the place. It's good a food. I've got the Oaxaca mole chicken and sauce was sweet and solid, the chicken itself was pretty good. They give you plenty of tacos on the side to wrap. The rest of the bean, rice, etc was a typical of what you get in a plate like this. It was good, not exceptional, all this for like $28 after tax and tip was much, even for SF. The service was ok and the inside ambiance? was good but not much to note. I tried the mole since the restaurant is called Oaxaquena but looking at the reviews, maybe I should've just ordered a simple burrito or tacos. I'll might come back to try them. read more

Order tacos and papusas. Asked for no cilantro and came out covered in cilantro. Tiny little place but super busy. Green salsa is super yummy. Super tacos were huge. Papusas were ok. Music is loud and venue is super loud, especially when full of people talking. read more

Visited this spot prior to a show at Chase Center, and it was a great experience! Let's get into it... Ambiance - The ambiance for La Oaxaquena was nothing spectacular, but it can accommodate both small and large groups. Shoutout to them for having a complimentary water dispenser for us water drinkers! It was a cozy place but had good energy. Service - The service is deli style where you go to the counter and order/pay and get an order flag so they can bring your food. Staff was friendly and helpful. No complaints here! Food - They offer Oaxacan, Mexican, and Salvadoran offerings. I was in the mood for a pupusa, and they were great! I got a combo plate with rice and plantains and the rice and plantains were also great! I watched other dishes come out and everything looked very good. 5 star experience on the food for sure! Overall, this was a good atmosphere, good service and people, and great food. Easy 5 star experience for me and I'd gladly come back to try other delicious items! read more

Stopped by to get a Pastor super burrito w/o sour cream. It came with chips. Super came with guacamole. The tortilla is grilled and comes with black beans. The guy brings your food to your table and brings you two salsa (red & green). It's super filling. I also got a Jamaica (hibiscus) aquas frescas. The ambiance is like any taco and burrito places in the Mission. They even checked in if everything was okay. read more

Came here off a whim on a late night craving Mexican. Lots of other factors that deter the average person from coming to this place, but man this place did not disappoint. Great service and friendly people. Inside was really clean and the set up is really nice. Ordered a asada super burrito and asada taco. Super burrito: Tortilla was crispy but the burrito was ripped in the middle unfortunately. Asada tacos: Tortilla was very crispy and Meat was seasoned perfectly. The best thing I ordered. Must try in the mission if your in the area. read more

Went at midnight on a Sunday and the place was still bustling. The food took a little while to come out, but everything arrived hot and fresh. The carne asada was flavorful and tender. The quesabirria, though, was a bit underwhelming on its own -- not very crispy or cheesy and didn't have much flavor unless dipped in the consommé. The burrito was solid overall. The guacamole was just plain avocado. read more

Small, clean, counter-ordering place. They had chicken mole, one of my favorite dishes. It was a quarter-bird dark meat covered generously with a thick and dark but not very vivid sauce. Rice and beans with were also plain but good. They had mango lemonade for a drink, so I added that. A solid meal, the chicken well-cooked. So overall a bit bland but a hearty meal. Good service also. Pretty satisfactory. read more

I tried regular tacos and everything was crispy very fried. Not flavor at all I ate fried carne asada y cabeza meat, needed to remove all the fat from the cabeza taco leaving it almost empty. I was starving and ready to go back to work so I could not take time to complain and wait for a new plate. Meat tacos should not be fried or tortillas unless less you warn it in the menu. read more

This was almost just another typical SF Mission taquería experience - but then that's when I saw the sign that read - "Today's Special: Jerk chicken burrito"!! WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?!! It sounded crazy at first, but when you think about it, it makes perfect sense - not to mention that the concept just works. I would love to return to try their classic burrito, but it's good to know that they have an innovative flare. BB read more

I came here with friends after a night out and the food hit. Service was pretty quick, you go up to the counter to order and they bring the food to your table. I got the super quesadilla with chicken and the mango lemonade and both were so good. My friends also tried the lemonade and loved it, they ordered a super burrito and tacos and they loved it too. It was still pretty busy late at night but we were able to get a table and had a great time. Would recommend! read more

Aside from the outside factors that make going here unenjoyable, people smoking, trash, filth, sketchy people outside, the food and service was actually really good. The inside of the restaurant is actually pretty clean too. Came here late night to fulfill my burrito craving and ordered the super burrito with a meat mix of Carnitas and Chorizo. I think the combination of the two gave a good punch of seasoning without being too salty. The lettuce and tomato gave a really nice crunchy fresness while the beans, rice gave volume to each bite without taking away from the meat. The tortilla the didn't hold too well, it had a really nice color and even crispiness all around For the price, I felt the burrito was a little smaller than other burrito's I've had. So naturally I was a little disappointed in the size. But nonetheless it was still really good and packed with flavor. The red/rojo sauce packed a lot of flavor. The heat creeps on your but isn't too overpowering. The chips were also really good. Bigger than more places I've been too, didn't taste old despite being near closing time. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. read more

Was in the area for an event and swung by for a quick dinner on a Sunday night. Ordered a super burrito with cabeza for protein and then chips and salsa. Cabeza costed an additional $1.50. The chips were the tiniest portion ever for $2, would prob just skip next time. Salsa is located in a mini fridge to the left of the counter. Burrito took about 10ish minutes to be ready. Portion wise it was pretty big, but flavor didn't really meet my expectations. There wasn't that much protein in the burrito and the cabeza itself wasn't that seasoned. I kind of drowned the burrito into salsa to get any taste. Vibes were cute inside though. read more

I love everything about this place. I been trying to find a good solid Mexican spot other than farolito and la taqueria. This place is definitely it for me!!!!! The food is simple but done so well. The carnitas was so good and crispy and prepared perfect. I love the decor inside and there's a good amount of seating inside. Location is convenient in the mission. My new fav Mexican spot! read more

When you first walk in, you get to experience the beauty of Hispanic culture. I really love how to interior is decorated. The cashier was super welcoming and helpful with the menu. He made a few recommendations on what to get. Then we sat down at a table and was given chips and mole. I've never mole but the mole was DELICIOUS. Overall, great service and great food! read more

Incredible hot chocolate and good vegetarian options! The hit for me is that the large tlayuda (the inspiration dish for the Taco Bell Mexican pizza) that is salty (from generous Oaxacan cheese on top), creamy from the beans + avocado on top, and especially satisfying with green salsa on top. Would recommend sharing one to try the other specialities (tamal and veggie burritos also caught my eye - they have a vegan chorizo option), as the whole tlayuda can get a bit heavy. I've only ordered takeout, but they do have a casual seating area that is a good landing spot before bouncing around the Mission! read more

We had the super burrito and the quesadillas, both of which tasted mediocre. The flavor was bland, so I wasn't sure if they were going for a healthy style or what, basically flavorless. And it took a while to get our food, even though we were dining in. read more

idk what the going rate for tacos is, but for some tacos that were marked as 3.75 on the menu, I ended up paying 10.24 for 2 this spot was actually an established shop inside a building. You order first then sit down with a number. There were cute tablecloth details at each table. We got al pastor to try to compare to El Charro that we had right before this and it was honestly fine but nothing remarkable. I did actually like the salsas though just cuz i prefer the more watery (rather than creamy) salsas. This spot also gave grilled onions which were quite tasty read more

good seasonings on the food!! service and ambiance is great! It's very lively with the music !

If you are a vegetarian or vegan, you know your Mexican food options tend to be pretty limited in San Francisco. Nothing against cheese or rice and bean tacos, but they don't pack the punch the city's savory meat tacos tend to. La Oaxaqueña is one of the only places I know with delicious vegetarian street style tacos starring soy chorizo (not the greasy red cumin flavored Soyrizo, much better). They also have burritos - soy chorizo is just one of their regular protein options, which is amazing! And the tacos are savory and flavorful and remind me if the meat tacos I once loved. The inside is colorful and cozy, service very friendly, I loved the music, food was delicious and inexpensive, sauces are great, and my tacos were accompanied by grilled onions and peppers. I am so glad I found this restaurant and have a place to get a vegetarian taco that isn't just rice. read more

Brush up on your Spanish and check this spot out asap. If you haven't had a tlayuda yet, do yourself a favor and try one. The menu has a broad selection of traditional Oaxacan and Latinx dishes. The salsas were packed with flavor and had the perfect amount of spice (for me). Super casual and great for late night eats. Cashier/server/owner(?) was charismatic and fast.
