Absolute hidden gem!…read more We are so glad we happened to walk by this place because everything about it was incredible. The food was next-level--tacos, cebollas, tortas... honestly, all of it was amazing. Fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. What truly blew us away was the staff. A team of just three people managed to serve at least 30 customers within the first hour of opening, and they did it with speed, efficiency, and great energy. Watching them work was seriously impressive. You can tell this place knows exactly what they're doing--from the food to the flow. We'll absolutely be back and will be telling everyone about it. If you're nearby, don't miss this spot

THE spot for cheap street tacos served well into late night/drunchie hours…read more My hotel was in the area, so I was lucky to have access to Tacomer Taqueria for normal hours during dinner. Honestly, these times were when the taq wasn't even 1/4 full. I'm talking 6-8pm. The guys working are all so friendly and efficient. They work FAST. LOTS of street taco options with protein from res to puerco, and their al pastor comes with pina which is a nice lil treat. They're great for fast, cheap, and filling tacos. Oaxaca's taco game isn't that strong in my opinion, but Tacomer blows Roy's out of the water any day. Other than that, there's little left to be desired. There's one TV that plays anime. There's zero air flow, so honestly you get a lil bit of car exhaust and smoke from the grill while you dine. No frills, and honestly I'd go there again for how economico they are and the sweet guys!

I was recommended to come and try the food here by my friends. Seeing how there aren't too many…read moretaco places here to choose from, I decided to try it and it was not that bad. They have a lot of things to choose from on the menu but the one thing that stood out to me was the few meat options. They had chorizo, pastor, chicken and chuleta and some other options but not very many. I had a sincronizada and I think it was a gringa? They were both actually pretty good, along with some Agua de Jamaica. The items I ordered came with cheese, pineapple and ham on the inside, an interesting combination. The service is also fairly quick and the workers are friendly. The only thing I would say I don't like about these places is that they're so humid when you sit inside lol. I feel like it's because of the giant grill they are using to make the food. But other than that, I liked my experience here and recommend it if you're looking for some decent tacos in Oaxaca.

Tried both the Pierre and chicharron but just like everyone else said, the chicharron was our favorite. A little crunch and moist meat all together. The taco stand is differentiated by a pink neon lit pig sign and is easy to find by google maps. 17 pesos for ONE taco (not 8 as someone told us in line lol). Yummy! CASH only

It closes at 3am making it one of the latest spots open in the area and the perfect place to go after a night out. We waited in line to order and then got our food on the other side of the stand. We ordered the chicharron tacos ($20 MXN) which was crunchy and the salsa had a good level of spice. They also had more salsa on the side if you want more heat. They had no seating so you will have to take your food to go or eat it standing. Note that they are closed on Sundays but this is such a cool place to hang out at the end of the night. The food was good and cheap, and the vibes were cool. This is the epitome of street food.

Service was okay, it wasn't crowded at the time. The menu has a selection of tacos and plates, price is fairly cheap. I tried the vegetable tacos...mainly carrot and zucchini...they were cooked well, but adding salsa helped. There was a green and a orange/red salsa, but neither was too spicy. Overall, this is a fine place to eat.

They were happy to let me sit as long as I wanted, and there is wifi. The champurrado (a traditional Mexican chocolate drink made with corn flour) tasted like I remembered it when I made my very first trip to Mexico. I craved it every day, and went back three times for it. The tamales were amazing as well. If I go back to Oaxaca I will definitely go out of my way to come here.

He insisted I eat one before I leave. So that's how I ended up at tlayudas el negro. I had three choices of meat, the tasajo is a tougher meat so I decided to get one with cecina. Other options were costilla -ribs or chorizo. I was able to modify it and have it with very little cheese and I asked if they could not fry it too much. I ordered the enmolada for 120 pesos. The mole was good but it had a very thin layer of it, tiny pieces of meat couldn't taste the flavor and the tlayuda was extra crispy and burnt but it didn't bother me that much but I didn't enjoy this dish. I'm glad I tried it and you may like it. If you get a chance try one from the Mercado or the street vendors. If your gut can handle it. What I really liked was the garnish on top! Yes just this one or two herb pieces was delicious. It gave the food such a distinct flavor I liked the aftertaste. The herb is called chipeche. Service was great and there's live music, someone was playing the violin. I will not be back but you should try it. If you're a drinker I think you have a good chance of enjoying the food and atmosphere.
