This place had some of the best carne asada I've ever had from a Mexican restaurant. I haven't explored too many spots in LA yet, but this one definitely stood out. I came here with two friends and ordered the carne asada with chilaquiles. The carne asada was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. A lot of places serve it a little too dry, but this was cooked perfectly and was easily the highlight of the meal. One of my friends comes here pretty often, and my other friend ordered the tacos. The portions were generous, and he said they were really good as well. The waitresses were also very friendly and welcoming. My only complaint was that the cups of water cost around $0.75. I wish they had mentioned that beforehand, although it may have been posted somewhere and I just missed it. Overall, the food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the service was great. I would definitely come back, especially for the carne asada. Highly recommended! read more

Food; good nice serving size Service; not that good, not welcoming at all. Ambience; looked clean, but again treated like I had a third eye read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance to last night. There were some children asking for money before we even made it inside. We got a pineapple water, two tacos (chicken mole and carnitas) and the lingua plate. It was pretty busy at 9pm on Friday night. While we were eating, another two children came to our table asking for money. I was so surprised the restaurant allows this while people are trying to enjoy their food. The pineapple water was the star of the show for me, so delicious! I thought the food was pretty good, but our total came to $43 and I thought that was pricey for the amount of food we got. Each taco alone was $3.50-$7.00 Mexican style (onion and cilantro only). I was going to get the chicken mole platter, priced at $19, but I decided to get something lighter. the food was good, but I don't think we will be back. read more

Ten years after my last visit, and I still remembered the quality and value of this taqueria. Would it be as good as I remembered?? Oh yes!! This Atlanta visit meant I had the chance to return, and the tacos were still fantastic. Al pastor and Pollo con mole were my choices this time. Still clean, pleasant, fast service. $12 for this and a grapefruit Jarritos? read more

Great food and atmosphere! Staff is kind and knowledgeable. Family friendly and the kitchen moves quick. 94 health score last visit.

It was date night and I was in the mood for Tacos. As I was in the area, Taqueria La Oaxaqueña popped up on my radar so I decided to stop in. Imagine my surprise when I pulled in and realized that I had been here before. The parking is very tight so make sure you have your bumper cars skills in order. LoL! Walking in, the restaurant is very vibrant and the area is very spacious. The hostess was super nice and took care of us immediately. She sat us near the side window which was a great spot for personal conversation. The menu is very robust and provides a variety of options for any liking. They even have an American section which offers wings and nachos. They didn't have any sweet tea so I got a lemonade and it was the bombbbbbbbbbbb. LoL!! After taking some time to review the menu, the Birria Tacos were made with Goat Meat so I decided on the Taco Plate w/ Steak as my meat. The place comes with rice and beans as well. When my food arrived it looked and smelled amazing. The meat was well seasoned and tender. The steak was chopped into the perfect size that made it easy to eat. The floured tortillas were toasted which added a great layer of texture to the taco. The rice was good but was even better with the beans poured over it. Ummmmmm. The Beans were a pinto bean (I believe) and were well done and seasoned just enough to give them flavor but not overpower the meat flavor that they were made in. Alessandra was an amazing waitress. Her service was spot on and she was very pleasant and full of smiles. She checked on us the perfect amount of times and made sure we were all set. Good food. Great service. Great time. read more

Food - flavorful, hot and just over delicious! Many authentic options as well as Americanized meals. Service is just the way I like it - attentive, but not hovering. Staff are polite and professional. I've visited twice now and have never had an issue. Ambiance - laid back! 4 Stars only because I'd need to try more authentic items on the menu besides burritod and tacos. read more

As someone coming from California I have to say this is the best quesadilla I've had in Georgia ! I had the goat quesadilla and it was juicy, cheesy, and full of flavor! I didn't need to add sauce or condiments. We also ordered a steak quesadilla which was also amazing! It had peppers, onions, mushrooms, cheese and plenty of fresh cilantro! Customer service was also excellent even with a small language barrier. Definitely worth the price and not expensive at all ! Highly recommended read more

Taqueria La Qaxaqueña is a staple in tree Jonesboro area. Located on Mt Zion Rd the history of the restaurant journey is a fantasy come true: "At age 15, Rosalia Ruiz started selling traditional food an snacks in her home state of origin in Oaxaca, Mexico. In 1995, she had the opportunity to travel to the USA with her husband, Oscar Arteaga, arriving at Dekalb County in Georgia. During a visit to a local flea market, Rosalia came up with the idea of selling traditional Mexican food. With very few resources and a very basic grasp of the English language, they began to sell tamales. After two years, Rosalia and Oscar saved up enough money to buy a food truck, which was located on North Harston Rd, at Stone Mountain. After years of struggles and perseverance, they were able to expand their business to a brick and mortar location in Clayton County on 6768 Tara Boulevard. For five years, "Taqueria La Oaxaqueña" operated at that location, where they earned the loyalty of their clients with their delicious traditional Oaxacan food" The food is equally amazing but be careful if you have to choose between medium or large try the smaller portions first. The good comes on hot plates in abundance and there is always room to share if you are in groups. Happy dining read more

When we got there they served complimentary chips and salsa. Our waitress was very attentive to us throughout our dinner. The tacos here are so big! Love the corn tortilla that they use. I ordered 3 tacos for myself but couldn't finished it. Wish the tripas was a bit more crunchier. Wasn't a big fan of the cheese they used in the anchors though. It was too salty so we couldn't finish it. read more

I've eaten a ton of Mexican food in the past thirty years and always love to seek out the best places wherever we are, including probably the dozen or so times that I've been in Mexico. This is the best Mexican food that I've ever had! The salsa bar had my new favorite, salsa de cacahuate, only the second time I've seen it in a restaurant. It's ground up peanuts and chilies and very good, I think. The refried beans were the best refined beans I've ever had. The mole tacos were super fantastic! I've never had better mole! The carnita taco I got was the best carnitas I've ever had! The chicharon taco was pretty good. My server was sweet and on point! You can't go wrong at this place. I wish I didn't live so far away but see a restaurant with the same name, much closer to me in Duluth, and I'm hoping it's the same owners. Their reviews are just as good and they also have those tlayuda's on their menu so I'll be checking them out soon and hope they're similar. read more

Eat here if you want the best Mexican food by ATL Airport! We are from Southern California (aka spoiled with eating delicious/authentic Mexican food all the time so picky about eating Mexican food so far away from Mexico) but Taqueria La Oaxaquena tasted amazing and was the perfect meal before having to head to the airport (because who wants to eat airport food? - not us!) When we arrived the restaurant was packed - a great sign! It was also packed with native Spanish speakers - also a great sign that the food would be authentic & top-notch - and it was!! The restaurant was very clean (even the restrooms) and all of the employees were nice and helpful! They have multiple types of salsa including my favorite the green tomatillo - all of which tasted fresh and flavorful! We ordered: 2 Pastor street tacos (really good marinade!) 2 Carnitas street tacos (carnitas was perfect crispy on the edges and soft and flavorful - this was our favorite!) 1 Campechanos (Steak and Chorizo) street tacos (This was a great combo of making the Asada more flavorful but not as overpowering as a straight chorizo taco) 1 Asada street tacos (actually our least favorite) 1 bean & cheese burrito (no rice) (tasted more like a cheese burrito with a smidge of beans but who doesn't love cheese so that was delicious) 2 Kids steak mini burritos (got rave reviews from the kids!) Just to note the "street tacos" that we ordered are the ones that you'd get in SoCal or Mexico with the cilantro, diced white onions and a line to squeeze But - they do offer the other tacos with all the toppings too Best of all: they make their tortillas from scratch! One thing to be aware of is they cut all their burritos in half (even on to-go orders like ours) which I didn't like since that makes it messy to eat so in the future I'd request them not cut in half - I didn't know ahead of time they did this. Also you can call ahead to place a to-go order which was awesome and super convenient! Allow at least 25 minutes minimum though because they are busy! We always seem to be hungry either after landing at the airport, or before our flight, so now we have a new go-to airport restaurant since it's less than 15min drive from ATL. We highly recommend this restaurant to locals too who want some delicious, authentic Mexican food! read more

We were visiting the area and basically picked some where close that had good yelp reviews. The reviews of this place weren't lying. The food was outstanding, very authentic Mexican food. I wish I would have known they had a salsa bar before I finished my meal, though the meal was super flavorful. The service was incredible the servers while busy kept everything flowing like a well oiled machine. The interior was very bright and super clean. Someone spilled their whole glass of soda on the floor. The servers were there to quickly clean everything up. read more

These are the first LEGIT tacos I've had since moving here from Texas in 2020. REAL authentic Mexican food is hard to find in Georgia but here? It's packed at lunch and the parking can be an issue but the food and the very nice wait staff make the effort worth it! I had the berria tacos (goat) from the lunch menu and it was tender and delicious! The au jus was just perfect! And I had one chicken and green chili tamal....i enjoyed it but I wish it was just a little fluffier. Be sure if dining in you hit up the salsa bar. Really good salsas and pickled vegetables to pick from. If I didn't live all the way up in North GA I'd make myself a regular here bc it satisfies my wishing I was still in Texas eating legit Mexican food! Highly recommend! read more

The service was great . They were very patient and helpful with me . Even tho it took forever to decide ; the veggie burrito was amazing .

The food at this place is amazing. We happen to be down in McDonough and passed by this location and saw a lot of cars. We assumed from all the cars that it was going to be fantastic. The food was fantastic. The weight however, was not great. They have fresh Horchata on tap, which was wonderful. I got the tamales the chicken ones. Those were fabulous. Also got the street tacos super super delicious. I would drive back to this location even though it's an hour and a half away from us just to get that food again. It won't disappoint however Perhaps will. read more

I grew up in San Diego and have been eating Mexican food for over 60 years. This restaurant serves the most delicious street tacos I've ever eaten and their service is second to none. I've never been disappointed and highly recommend this location without any reservation as their prices are very reasonable as well. read more

We tried Taqueria La Oaxaqueña for a late lunch. The menu has loads of options and pictures to help you decide what you fancy. We ordered three tacos and a large Oaxaqueña (Mexican- nachos but flat ) which contains your choice of protein, beans, lettuce, avocados, jalapeños. It was good but needed some flavor. The tacos are delicious and have nice amounts of protein. The orchata was delicious and not too sweet. They also provide you with a big amount so you will likely not finish. We will return and try other foods and more tacos. Staff was friendly. read more

Service was OK. Wasn't greeted when I entered the building. Planned on getting my order to go, but just ended up seating myself. Ambiance seemed a little off, but not terrible. Service improved once I was greeted by a waitress. I ordered a pork tamale, and asada taco. Chips and salsa coke with the meal after being seated. The tamale had minimal meat, and had fatty pieces. The asada was flavorful, but I didn't imagine the tortilla would come out so big. I noticed photos of street tacos on yelp so, maybe I needed to be more specific of the kind of taco I was looking for. Tortilla was homemade, and not dry at all. I did not like the salsa that came with the complimentary chips. It tasted like it had a hint of marinara in it. The menu is large. They have a salsa bar at the front of the building by the register. Overall I'd give this place another try based off the flavors of the food. read more

I love love love coming here. The restaurant is nice and the staff is always cool but, this place is all about the food, baby! This food is the real deal Holyfield. The best Mexican in Jonesboro, College Park, Forest Park, Stockbridge and all the bridges and parks in every borough of Georgia. The undisputed flavour-weight champion of my soul, daddy! Rice and beans! On point. Fantastic burritos and tortas (sandwiches) of all descriptions, except breakfast burritos (I bet they could do an amazing breakfast burrito). Horchatas are great. This place puts my tongue on the prowl when my tummy's got a growl! So if you're looking for a meal that can't be beat, I'm telling you to move your feet in from off the street, take a seat and they'll make you a treat! I shall return. read more

Okay so if I'm not here at least twice a week, something has gone terribly wrong. Everything. Is. So. GOOD My personal fav is the enchiladas which comes with a sampler piece of their crazy delicious carne asada. The tacos are real authentic Mexican street tacos that is arguably the best I've had in the city. Lengua plate is delicious, there's no going wrong. Also there's so many good desserts options like flan, tres leches, fruita y crema. Devine. Such a great find for an otherwise mediocre food area. read more

This was the most authentic Mexican food I have had from a restaurant in a long time. In an unassuming little restaurant off the main freeway is some really tasty & fresh Mexican cuisine. It was a Sunday night and the place was busy with families enjoying their dinner. We were sat in about 5 mins abs greeted immediately. This is a mom & pop situation so it feels like you are sitting in your grandmas dining room. Huge menu but I opted for the classic dish:Tlayuda Oaxaqueña (Mexican Pizza). It was DELICIOUS and the ingredients were so fresh. My wife and our friend also enjoyed their tacos and a pork dish with green salsa. There is also a salsa bar that has so many tasty salsas all being made fresh. Definitely worth the drive from Atlanta ! read more

This was some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. I ordered the street tacos and my wife had the pastor platter. Both were amazing. The refried beans were absolutely delicious too.

This food truck is a jem. I was in Jonesboro leaving a jazz festival and happened to see the truck. We parked and headed to order, 2 veggie burritos please. The service was fast even though they were super busy. There were fresh condiments in front like freshly cut limes, and 3 different salsas. I got them home and after the first bite I was convinced that this will be my new go to for freshly made authentic Mexican read more

It's a gas station, but they have authentic Mexican food and it's good. I don't think I would trust getting seafood from here though.

Cannot say enough about this place! The food is amazing whether dining in or taking out. Customer service has always been stellar as well.

The food here is everything. I visited for lunch and the food was delivered hot and fresh in a matter of minutes. I ordered three tacos - chicken, chorizo, and carne asada. All three of them were delicious (but if I had to pick a favourite, the chorizo wins hands down). The service was also quick and polite. You'll want to venture south of the city for this! read more
