Oaxacan cuisine in Troy?!…read more La Victoria looks unassuming, but trust me when I say this is no ordinary Mexican spot. It's owned by a Oaxacan couple, who are incredibly welcoming the moment you walk in the door. If you've never had Oaxacan cuisine, I highly recommend asking the owners for their recommendations based on your likes and dislikes. If you're up for trying something new, give the Tlayuda a try. It's absolutely massive and looks like a Oaxacan pizza. It's large, thin, and crunchy as it's a partially fried tortilla covered with refried beans, lettuce, avocado, meat, Oaxacan cheese, and salsa. It's incredible! The fajitas are also ! I tried the mixed grill fajitas with shrimp, chicken, and steak, and the portion was huge. They came with homemade tortillas, pico de gallo, and avocado slices. I brought home enough for two more meals - they were fantastic! They also have a large selection of Jarritos - Mexican sodas. I'm so excited to have such a unique spot in the Collar City, and I'm looking forward to trying more menu items. Go as soon as you can!

It came out very quickly was hot and tasty. My mom ordered a vegetarian dish, El Vegetariano, and ate the entire platter, which is unusual for her. She usually leaves a significant portion of food to bring home as leftovers later. She said that her dish was excellent. I had the enchilada supreme. Four enchiladas, one each of cheese, bean, chicken, beef. It was very tasty. Free fried tortilla chips and sauce for the table. Fountain drinks, the standard price, and free refills. A pretty standard straightforward family restaurant. I enjoyed the food, the service was very good, and the ambience was nice This place is tucked away in a corner of the Delmar plaza.

Although the Capital Region has barely any Mexican street food places, I think this one takes the cake. I love that it's hidden behind a bus stop on the corner of Central and North Allen. I love that you need to walk through a narrow hallway to order and that you have to speak Spanish because no one in there speaks English. It reminds me of brighter days... literally, brighter... in a place with actual sunlight. The walls are orange: perfect. There are random boxes of avocadoes and other grocery store items scattered throughout the dining area: hilarious. The entire menu is in Spanish, so as long as you can point, you can order. The music, the broken TV, the fact that the cashier was scrolling through Instagram as she checked me out and talked on the landline phone and asked me if I wanted anything else, all in Spanish: great. Let's be real. This place gets 5 stars for memories of the SW USA. It gets 5 stars for being completely authentic. If there was a similar place in the area, I likely wouldn't award 5 stars but I felt completely transported into hopefully a version of Mexico that I was very pleased. The tortillas are not perfect. The presentation is definitely perfect and traditional with onions, cilantro, radishes, and hot sauce. You can get lengua tacos. Good luck finding those closer than 100 miles from here. Check it out if you want something very different from what you're used to, but go with an open mind. This isn't a 5-star place, but it's a 5-star experience and I'm very grateful for its presence in the area.

We went because of the reviews. Mistake. They do a great job with their photos (whoever is doing…read moretheir social media should be congratulated), which bear very little resemblance to the food. We arrived on opening time (noon, not eleven, be aware) very excited to taste unusual things like empadanitas. Wanted to try the tacos Supreme, guacamole, homemade chips, and a few other things. The first indication of trouble? No guacamole. Nice lady behind the counter gestured to the fridge and said the avocados hadn't ripened. What were they doing in the fridge?! Second issue - no ice. Come on, folks, it's the first day of a holiday weekend! And then, out of crispy tacos. Wait. It's all supposed to be home made. How can you be out of crispy taco shells if you make them from tortillas yourself? The beef tacos (not crispy) were okay. The pico de gallo was almost all onion, which makes sense if you shop and know onion is cheap and tomatoes cost more. The empadanitas tasted and looked like they'd come out of a freezer - supposed to be chicken and potato, but I couldn't for the life of me find anything but slightly mashed potatoes in them. We broke one in half, each had a taste, then left the rest. Found out the guac and chips could be had as just chips and pico de gallo - for the same price! Seriously, since when does fresh avocado cost the same as a pico de gallo made mainly of raw onion? On top of that, I asked if the mild salsa was avocado as advertised. Yes. But there are no avocados? Is it fresh? Yes. (Rolling eyes.) Tostada. Crisp tortilla bottom (what a surprise. So it is possible.), small amount of what tasted like American cheese, cubed chicken (no, it couldn't be fresh, the pieces were all exactly the same size), grease, followed by... you guessed it. Onion with a smattering of tomato and a lot of something green that should have been cilantro but had no taste. The chips tasted home made, but cooked to the point where they were hard to bite into. Mainly, we were stunned at a bill totaling almost $60 (with tip) when we left most of our food and no one even bothered to say "Was everything okay?" let alone try to fix things. Maybe it was a different cook? Maybe they close during holidays? But this food was awful. This area isn't a hotbed of great Mexican or South or Central American food. Most people are happy with places like LaFiesta, okay. But from the reviews we'd thought this would be pretty authentic. It was anything but.
