This place some how reminds me of the cantina or Jabba's palace scenes in the Star Wars movies.....if those places were a ton more Mexican. You walk in and it has its own specific vibe and personality. This place is very similar to places like La Michoacana, or La Moreliana. Same type of deal, but it's only one location as opposed to a large chain if I'm not mistaken. They also didn't have any sort of fliers with their weekly specials like bigger places do. Some times large chain places are better and sometimes they're not. One thing this place named Oaxaca (If you only speak English pronounce it like this Wa-ha-ca) has that I love are these massive tostadas they sell by a brand out of Mexico named "La Fe". Some other types of stores sell the small La Fe tostadas which taste different and have a different texture. But the big ones are sturdy and amazing. If you've ever made tostadas one thing that often is the case is because of how thin the tortilla is with so many ingredients on top the tostada often cracks. This is not the case with the sturdy La Fe tostadas in their large size!! So those are hard to find in other places but they sell them here. Before I had to drive to a place in Pearland to find them. That in itself is a reason I'll stop by this place from time to time. They also have lots of produce. Lots of color combinations of fruits and vegetables. Looks really cool. It also has a meat market towards the back. They have Coca-Cola from Mexico in the glass bottles. Taste better in my opinion. Contains sugar as opposed to corn syrup. I've read that maybe people thinking the Mex coke taste different is just like a placebo belief or something. But really I think it tastes better. When you walk into this place to the right of you there's a restaurant sort of deal they have going. They serve Mexican food of course seeing as this is a Mex style market. I probably won't try the restaurant; reason being my wife loves to cook and she's the best Mex food cook ever. This place overall is kind of small, but it's packed with a diverse assortment of Latin American products. You can find not only Crema Mexicana....but crema Salvadoreña, and Hondureña as well. I'll be stopping by here occasionally. read more

On Wednesday I went to buy meat and the meat was expired and I returned it and the cashier took the meat but did not return my money to me she told me that I had to return until the manager was present Be careful when you buy meat read more

The customer service is basically you get what you get. I really dislike giving poor reviews because I understand the impact it can have on a business but after three times coming here, I give my opinion. This place is way overpriced. Poor food quality and a hole in the wall. All three times I attempted to give them my business, I simply had to walk out and laugh. I just don't get how some places are so delusional. I hope you can regroup and improve your business read more

When you think you want to have a good taco and a restaurant is too far you go somewhere close....although I used to give this place a good thumbs up....now everything is sky high in price and I feel they need new cooks the food was so greasy and the meat was dry and I think this used to be a great place what happened ya'll?? read more

New to the area and was wanting some good barbacoa and this place came up on Yelp so I went to give it a try. First I went in and told the cook in kitchen that I wanted to order a barbacoa taco cause it was my 1st time here. He offered me a sample of the barbacoa and I liked it. It wasn't the best but good enough to want to take home to my family. He directed me to that back where the meat Dept is and ordered a pound and a half. It came with some salsa. I went back to kitchen and ordered a fajita taco and barbacoa. Both we good but not the best I've had. I was excited to get home to let my wife and 2 kids know that I found a place with barbacoa, unfortunately this is the disappointing part..... when I opened the container to serve my family I found a huge ball of fat ( I know fat is needed for flavor) that wast edible and literally pulled out my food scale and I was shocked that it was 9oz of fat. So of the 22oz almost 1/2 was fat and not edible. Very disappointed read more

The food is below average and well overpriced. It is not fresh and always dry. If you order out, they will only give you the shitty salsa. The place is overcrowded. The person(s) taking food orders are usually not very helpful. The meat market cuts are terrible and not very sanitary. Compared to many other Mexican Markets, it is not very clean. I am not sure why this place is still even open. read more

Oaxaca Meat Market and Taqueria (OMMT) is a neat little place tucked away in a shopping center in Dickinson. Sandwiched between a Dollar General and a Biker "Ice House", it looks unassumingly small from the outside. However "don't judge a book by its cover". Inside you will find a traditional Mexican butcher shop, grocery store selling imported Mexican products, and a awesome taqueria lunch counter that serves some of the best *real* Mexican food I have tasted stateside. From the Agua de Jamaica and Tamales Oaxaqueño to spicy guacamole salsa and Chilaquiles, Oaxaca Meat Market and Taqueria serves up food most "gringos" are unfamiliar with...that is to say, its the food of interior Mexico, instead of the yellow-cheese laden "Tex-Mex" fare most people are familiar with. On my most recent visit I ordered both a flauta platter and a Tamale Oaxaqueño. If you've never had tamales from the interior of Mexico, you may be surprised to find out that they're the size of a brick and wrapped in banana leaves. While this homemade Tamale was not as good as those I've had in Oaxaca, it sure was a good substitute. Instead of using the traditional chicken and rich Mole Negro, OMMT uses pork and Mole Rojo. I surmise some of it might be an availability thing (I've never seen Mole Negro for sale outside of the states of Oaxaca & Puebla) My flauta platter consisted of two large flautas stuffed with chopped pollo asada and served with rice and beans. I washed everything down with a nice COLD glass of Agua de Jamaica...mmmmm Agua de Jamaica is basically a tea made out of dried hibiscus leaves...to which you add sugar to sweeten it. My dining partner had Enchiladas Huastecas, which were three panela filled corn tortillas, covered with melted Queso Oaxaca (Quesillo) and topped with a slice of Cecina de Rez (a very thin, tasty cut of beef). Anyhow I want to go back and try breakfast, because they have Chilaquiles and empanadas de flor de calabaza on the breakfast menu!!! read more

Doesn't look like much on the outside, but the little market they have inside is great! Always have what I'm looking for in stock. I've been driving out of my way to come here for their marinated fajitas, for years! Great stuff, friendly staff, definitely recommend! read more

The food is authentic. The burritos are big tortillas; they really fill them up. I had the fajita. So you are basically eating a big taco. They also have small tacos for kids. They have breakfast tacos. Their salsa is good- both red and green. They sell mexican pastries and produce as well. In the back of the store, they have a meat market. read more

A neat little place, a bit unorganized, English is extremely limited, but the staffers are friendly and the food is homemade and delicious. Worth the drive out to Dickinson. read more

Oaxaca Meat Market and Taqueria (OMMT) in a tiny strip center off the beaten path. It has been my favorite for several years and is the only place for fresh vegetables and fruits. I won't buy pico-de-gallo (fresh daily), guacamole, avocados or mangoes anywhere else. The taqueria serves some of the best, authentic food in Dickinson. Some mornings, when I go in for breakfast tacos, burritos or their banana wrapped tamales, the chef sings along at the top of the Latino surround sound which adds to the ambiance. It always takes me back to another place and time. read more

Good food, but after ordering three breakfast tacos...I saw the cook point at call me, called me "gringo" when asking about orders with the waitress...then they proceeded serve literally 9 other customers before serving me who came in and ordered. Not happy. Consider my business gone read more

A hidden gem! I love this place, they have the best fresh authentic Mexican food I have ever found. The tacos are amazing, they have the best salsa hands down. The grilled chicken is to die for! They also have a great variety of produce at a very reasonable price! read more

We went during the early evening on a Sunday. There was a steady stream of takeout customers during that time, but service was very quick. We ordered tacos al pastor, a torta, and 2 tamales oaxaquenos. Um, it's a LOT of food. (No problem, though, as they provided some takeaway containers). Everything was fresh and delicious. It was some of the best mexican food to be found on the south side of the Houston metro area. Highly recommended. read more

Worst place everrrrrrr! Nasty food! A lady with a baby sat next to me and begged for food while me and my family ate ! And she wouldn't leave us alone until I payed for her food read more

Better than authentic, this is real Mexican food. So much flavor, and what you see is what you get. Much of the food is kept piping hot in a steam tray, and I just point to what looks good. Never quite the same twice, never! Seating is in very casual, you might share a table in the front of the little grocery store and meat market, so not recommend for a classy date. read more

Wow....all these good reviews are shocking! I went on a Sunday and was taken aback by the smell of rotting meat. I could not believe that the lights in the meat refrigerators were spray painted red to disguise the dark gray meat. Everything on the shelves was so crowded and dusty. Definitely not somewhere I would revisit...not even for a pinata. read more
