    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.

    First time trying it and got an assortment of tacos. They were all delicious and the prices were great. The barbacoa all the way taco was the best barbacoa taco I've ever had.

    Tamale Oaxaqueño - a traditional Oaxacan-style tamale wrapped in banana leaves and stuffed with mole & meat.

    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!!!

    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.
