    Not much to look at. But follow the locals' lead. This place is legit. They dos not have Carnitas, surtidas, cabeza. But they did have the most amazing Al Pastor (marinated pork seared on a shwarma style) that was slightly caramelized, earthy with paprika, tangy with pineapple. The oreja (pig ears) was slightly crunchy snappy, creamy, and fatty with a bit of funkiness. A full set up of pickled carrots, onions, lime wedges, 3 salsas and pico de gallo allow you to mix and match the flavors. Best with beer. Less than US$1 per taco.

    So many sauces!

    This is one of my favorite places to eat when we visit Oaxaca, there are a few Taco Roy locations but this one is the best! It's small but it's worth the wait if it's busy, you can always take it to go if you can't wait. I always order the "Gringa", it's made with two flower tortillas, cheese and your choice of meat. You can never go wrong with the traditional tacos de Al Pastor. Enjoy!!!

    Two Pastor tacos with 6 condiments for personalized enjoyment. Add a negro medelo for a total of $6. Half from the beer. Excellent Roy!

    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.
