When we got there there was a line of people who hadn't yet ordered and others who were waiting for their food. Someone walked up to us asking for our order. Then we waited as they cooked everything in front of us and handing them to patrons. We got the chile relleno ($30 MXN) and mushroom tacos ($30). We liked the chile relleno one more as it was cheesy. Both tacos were a little oily but they were good. There were some salsa stations on the side for extra flavor. There was nowhere to sit so people either ate standing or took their food to go. This stall was authentic and the food was inexpensive. This was street food at its core.

Of the meats that we ordered my favorites were the al pastor ($20 MXN) and the bistek ($24 MXN). The portions were good for a great price and the service was good. Bonus that they also take credit card! They have a variety of different salsas that were not particularly spicy but were good. The provided condiments also included limes, pico de gallo, and pickled onions. Of all the taco places we had in Oaxaca this place was my favorite. The meat was tender and the portions were good, and we ended up coming back multiple times during our visit.

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.

You order as you like from the menu - try a couple things, then have more if you wish. While I love great maize tortillas, I have a special fondness for fresh, well made tortillas de harina (flour) and you can get both here. I think the true El Primo are the tacos Gringa de Pastor - lamb sliced super thin from a sizzling cone of meat (like a schawarma), with Oaxacan Quesillo cheese, onion, and a little cilantro. Everything is fantastic, including the salsas brought to table after you order.If you have Gringo tastes, go easy on the salsas - most pack pretty decent heat. Try the thin, green avocado salsa and you'll be happy campers.

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!

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.
