Definitely a hidden gem with fantastic tacos. I have been here twice and already tried almost every taco they have minus the pork options. The staff is always so welcoming, kind, and helpful and they should be busier for the quality of the food! I've tried the chicken taquito, baja shrimp taco, grilled shrimp taco, birria taco, steak taco, and surf and turf (shrimp and steak) taco. The prices are fair and the tacos are very filling. They also give you chips with different salsas with every order. I love cheese on a taco and they added melted cheese to everything I ordered which I loved. read more

Tacos were excellent. We had barbacoa and Al pastor, chorizo and a few others. All of them were well above average. My son had wings that were so fresh and nicely dressed with a vinegary buffalo sauce. The decor is so cool and the booths comfortable. Was a bit empty when we visited so we got great service and attention from the staff. Surprised to see this place so slow on a Saturday afternoon so get out and give it a try!! read more

This place was fantastic, we had such a great experience! The food was delicious, especially the birria tacos, which had a nice, savory flavor. The consomé could've used just a touch more salt, but it was still good. The mole was full of flavor, and my husband loved it since he prefers his mole on the sweeter side. The plátano frito was amazing, definitely a must-try if you can get it as a side. We were lucky it came with the mole plate! I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food since my mom is an incredible cook, and I tend to compare everything to her recipes but I have to say, this place definitely earned my approval! The aguas frescas were refreshing and perfectly balanced, not too sweet. Service was quick and friendly, and the staff made us feel welcome. The restaurant was clean, had a nice atmosphere, and the music added a great touch. I did not take great pics but come check this place out for yourself Almost forgot to say why we gave it a 4 stars, the mole plate didn't have a big portion of chicken other than that we would've given five stars read more

Fantastic place to find by chance. Having moved from Texas recently, the food here is as close as what I found in some of the border towns. A lot of Mexican places are really Tex-mex. Not this place. Oh and the service here is amazing. read more

Hidden Gem in Fuquay! We stopped by Tacos Oaxaca Taqueria and had such a great experience! It's a small, authentic little spot with amazing flavor and friendly service. I ordered the steak and chorizo gorditas, and my husband had the beef tacos -- everything was delicious and full of authentic taste. Our waitress, Dulce, was so sweet and attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us often. You can tell she truly cares about her customers. We decided to sit outside and had such a pleasant time -- great food, great atmosphere, and even better service. If you're in Fuquay, definitely stop by and ask for Dulce! You won't regret it. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

This place has awesome Mexican food - today we had the enchiladas- one chicken and one beef - they were both excellent - the mole on the beef one was the best mole sauce I have ever had! Their Birria tacos are very good too. read more

Food was good. The server told us not to bother leaving a tip though because the owner keeps it. read more

good service, nice restaurant, terribly overpriced, very average food. solidly middle of the road. would i go back, i guess but it is not the 2nd best mexican food in fuquay by a mile. read more

This location is just as bad as their location in Lillington! They reuse their chips! I watched it happen! And they are stingy with their alcohol pours and salsa! What else are they cutting corners on?! Do not eat here!! read more

This spot is small but really cute. We started off with a round of beers and an order of cheese dip. For our meals it was the combo tacos (you get two tacos with rice and beans) with a margarita (no salt) for me and the Texas ACP for my mom. The food and drinks were both good. My only complaint is that it got busier towards the end of service so it took a while to pay. read more

As I write this, they've been in business for only a month. A friend told me about them weeks ago and they weren't registered on Google Maps at the time, so I literally just got here. Glad I made it. Not a fan of chains when it comes to Mexican, but these guys have it figured out. And by "chain," they aren't really a "Taco Bell" type franchise, so that helps a lot too. So far, I am just trying out the tacos. I mean, it's in their name... Pollo, lengua and brisket. Can't say brisket is in my idea of traditional Mexican, yet I don't care. It's delicious. The tongue was better than I expected (Michael Scott would have a ball with that one) and the chicken was chicken. The chips and salsa were average fare. I loved the red and green hot sauces. Sizeable enough for a few couples and families. Great prices - my tacos were just over $10, and they filled me up. The service was kind and good-natured, which always works for me, even if the food is blah. The food was not blah. Yeah man, this is my new spot. Drop in for some good Mexican food. The menu is much more elaborate than the tacos I tried, so this experience for me will have to just serve as an appetizer for you. Get on out there and give them some business! A. read more

Although we recently got two "real" (i.e., sit-down) restaurants here in Fuquay, fast food generally rules. So I was intrigued when I read the great reviews of Tacos Oaxaca. It's in a strip mall that's kind of beat (they *really* need to repave that parking lot), so I was skeptical. But I finally got around to stopping by yesterday after phoning in a take-out order. I stopped in to pick up my order. It's a relatively small place, but with an appealing, authentic ambience. The gentleman at the counter (whose name I neglected to ask) had my order - one carne asada burrito and one carnitas burrito, hold the sour cream - ready and waiting. After I got home, I took my first bite and said, "Oh my *God*!!" Seriously, I was so loud I alarmed the dog. It was *so* good. Also, they were big enough that I could get only halfway through one (although I did my best to eat it all). This photo does not do the food justice. I have a very strong feeling I will have to return to Tacos Oaxaca to eat there (and *maaaaybe* try one of their margaritas). My new go-to spot. read more

Tacos Oaxaca - Mmmmm...Carne asada burrito and carnitas burrito - hold the sour cream, please! - Mexican Near Me - Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina

Wanted some tacos but didn't want to drive to Raleigh. Saw good reviews and went in to try Tacos Oaxaca. Full menu was available online. Called in foe a carry out order and they were very pleasant on the phone. I was greeted when I walked in the door and there was a nice amount of people dining in. The place was clean, open and we could see the kitchen. They have a full bar from what we could tell. We ordered the birra, brisket, carna asada, and shrimp tacos. All the meats were cooked perfectlying. The tacos were served with salsa Verde and it gave the tacos great flavor. I would have like a crema for the shrimp taco and will order next time. My husband all order quaso and he loved it! The salad and chips were also fresh. We will be back to try more. read more

Service here was great! They were fast to make the food and were kind. The ambiance was also nice, however there was room for improvement... - If you are ordering takeout, they will add a 49¢ surcharge for every person picking up the takeout, so go alone and do not walk in with your family. This was a first for me, so I walked in holding my 4 year old's hand and carrying my 10 month old to find a $1.50 surcharge added to my bill. - The execution of tacos and burritos lack flavor and are mostly bland in comparison to other places we have been to. The components are good quality but it lacks the chefs touch you would typically find at a traditional Mexican food restaurant. - After ordering the amount of food that would usually fill us up, it left us still hungry after ordering what we thought would be enough to have leftovers. For the portion sizes, this food is way overpriced. Bottom line, we tried it and sadly this place miserably failed to meet our expectations. read more

Overall, the food was pretty good, but I think it was overpriced for the size. I could make better quesadillas at home if I had the right meat and we didn't order a second burrito, but we got an extra one and got charged. We feel bad for the waitress because she told us that she was going to have to comp the pay for the burrito that she mistakenly added. The ambiance of the resurants was not well balanced with the service or food. read more

This was just ok. I had high hopes. I was let down. The service was just cold, you could tell they didn't want to be there. The food was ok, but also way too expensive. The place itself was ok. If my parents didn't like their food so much this place would probably be a two star. I do not recommend the shrimp quesadilla. read more

Went here about 1 hour before they closed & got our food to go and I must say the customer service was great, so we had high hopes. Ordered 1 single birria taco, 3 chicken taco combo, an acp with veggies, and a side of pico. The 3 chicken tacos had onion & we said no onion, so my boyfriend couldn't even eat & you can't pick them off because the onions are small. The apc barely had any chicken or veggies & it was $15- not worth it. Tbh the birria taco was the best thing out of what we got. The salsa had no flavor, needed more everything-very basic. & the pico was in a 1oz container but it was $3- that's insane. -won't be back read more

Let's face it, many of us are always bemoaning the fact that we wish we had more "good" restaurants in Fuquay-Varina (like there's not enough of them already). But what happens when you discover a seemingly hidden place that shocks you with their superb food offerings - and they've been here for awhile? This is exactly what happened to us. We often visit that shopping center on Main street where Food Lion and Planet Fitness are located, and yes, we've occasionally caught a glimpse of Tacos Oaxaca while riding by - thinking nothing, assuming that it was just another of the many Mexican hole in the wall eateries. But the other day we were driving past and decided to just stop and "finally" try them out. Initially (and wrongfully so) assuming that this was just going to be another run of the mill Mexican restaurant, we were absolutely surprised at how good the food is there. No, this is not your typical taco and burrito place - rather, it takes familiar Mexican food items that we've all become familiar with to a whole new level. We had the shredded beef street tacos (as they are called) with the standard fare of refried beans and rice. The street tacos we were served are smaller than your typical tacos, in what looks like a soft flour (red in color) taco shell. The shredded beef was so tender (add superbly seasoned also) and well prepared, that they just melted in your mouth - literally the best tacos that I've had in a long while. My wife had another dish and she absolutely loved it. We just kept muttering, "How did we not discover this place earlier?" and that hits home the fact that all too many folks will unintentially ignore this place during a drive-by, because it doesn't reach out and initially grab your attention. Another interesting tidbit is that unlike most Mexican restaurants that have like a 100 plus items on their menus, Tacos Oaxaca has a very small menu, making it easier to order. The thing about their food is their take on traditional Mexican dishes - the seasoning and what they put in their dishes is a cut above the competition. Now this is a small place and yes they have tables so you can eat there, and the place is tastefully decorated, but they also have a very large take-out service. Now we realize that food tastes are subjective. One person's absolute delight may be offset by another's disappointment - that's just the way it is in life. All we can do is to give this place our highest recommendation and if you're looking for good (a cut above) Mexican food, without visiting a high-end, super expensive eatery - by all means, get your butts over to Tacos Oaxaca. Highly recommended 5 stars based on the pricing and the presentation/taste of their offerings. read more

Great tacos Great Service !!! Always enjoyable whenever I stop by, plus it's low key right now because once it grows there will be wait times lol read more

Excellent. Hidden away in an average strip mall. Very clean, very organized, small and great selection. Oaxaca is our goto place for Mexican in the area. Service is outstanding, menu selection perfect. Priced very reasonably. My wife got the street tacos while I settled on Steak Fajitas. Huge portion and Excellent spice. Definitely be back to try other items. read more

Excellent service and even better food. Hidden gem here in Fuquay-Varina. Love this place and eat here regularly.

Thank you for coming to Fuquay-Varina!!! Centered in the food Lion strip mall, Tacos Oaxaca is a WONderful addition. With both indoor & outdoor seating, this quaint restaurant will have you coming back. First, I have to acknowledge the front of the house staff. She was only 1, but she zipped around to each customer in a fashion that makes you smile. Theybwerent even that busy (in my opinion) but she was moving!! Awsome, awsome, awsome!! The decor inside is very inviting, just as inviting as the menu. The Barbacoa street tacos did not disappoint. Street taco sized tortilla that held as I shoved it in my face. The taco has plenty of meat, topped with onion and cilantro. I like to think of this place as the spot you go to when you are craving a particular item. It's a medium-sized menu that covers the basis for your more simple dishes. Let's just say it's a "check-off the menu" kind of place. read more

Food is yummm! I'm a stickler for authentic Mexican food! While they have tweaked a bit of their flavor profiles to satisfy the different cultures in this area, their food is good. They offer a huge variety of options, and they are very flexible with their vegetarian options. The service is great, and the restaurant has great traditional decor. I'll be back again and again. read more

I really loved their street tacos and the woman who helped us was very attentive and kind.

Absolutely disappointed, and a waste of $47. I ordered coctel de cameron (missing so many ingredients, filled with ketchup sauce)! As a Mexican this is not how coctel is made en el rancho nor in the city in Mexico. The cheese dip was watery/tasteless & mediocre. The tamale is good but over priced $5 for 1 tamale (ridiculous), typically these go for $1.50-$3 is reasonable these days. The steak platter was also mediocre, as if the passion/energy is lacking, and customers can feel /tell. It's just an order, a buck to keep the machine going. It lacks luster overall...my 2nd x trying it in hopes they improved, or simply to give it another chance to see if my taste buds would have an orgasmic experience. Mission failed. Another americanized establishment. Truly authentic Mexican cuisine will have your taste buds in an orgasmic state even after hours due to many layers of textures/ingredients. Even the simplest recipes of them all would create an euphoric experience! read more

The BEST Mexican food I have had since moving to NC. This is the closest to authentic I have had for a long time. This is our new go-to spot when we are out for dinner. Service is good & José was fantastic! He sat and talked to us about food all around the world and throughout Europe. It's cosy & we always have a great time. read more

Best GORDITAS to be found in the area. They never fail to serve up a terrific meal. Be sure to add this spot to your rotation!

The service was amazing and very welcoming for that alone we will be back, food came out fairly quick, it wasn't a whole lot but the flavor was very good and my son who's almost 2yrs old loved the rice, my wife got the tacos with carnitas and barbacoa with rice & beans and I got the Birria Taquitos with rice and beans which was very good and satisfying, the ambiance was quiet but with good music playing in the background which is always a plus, Will definitely be back! read more

The best tacos I've ever had in my 37 years. That's all I have to say. Except maybe do yourself a favor, and GEAUX!

Amazing classy hole in the wall. Great service, spectacular food, beautifully decorated. Loved it, if I could I would give them 10 stars. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

The food was not that good. Mexican food is much better in Philadelphia. The food was bland.

Stopped in randomly looking for lunch and couldn't have been happier! Tacos were incredible and the rest of the selection was great. Very reasonably priced and the folks running the place were very friendly! Will be a regular stop when in the area. read more
