Tacos
Shahid D.

Best tacos I have had in Georgia since leaving the west coast! Tortillas are fresh and their asada was amazing

3 taco dinner
Viola M.

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.

Steak Quesadilla
Princess M.

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

quesabirria
Mitchell F.

Great quesabirria!!! Phenomenal taste and cheeseyness!! The rice was a little bland and the Guac was not my favorite but holy cow are the birra tacos good!! Service is so kind and friendly and the restaurant is clean. Will come here again!

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

Tacos Fajita nachos

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.

Mole tacos.  The best I've ever had!
Andre' M.

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.

Bean & Cheese burrito (beware: they cut all  their burritos in half even to-go)
Deb H.

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!

Ciara D.

The best most authentic Mexican food in the metro Atlanta area. First time visiting and I definitely plan to visit again. It's not your Tex max it's more street food Mexican. I ordered the sopes both chicken and carne. 10/10 on deliciousness rating.

Tacos and oaxaqueña
Erika W.

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.

Tamale Asada taco
Jade C.

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.

Tacos de asada

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.

I'd like to know if there's somewhere a in Morrow where they make the guacamole fresh at the table?

Los Trojas does on Mt Zion, at least they did when I was going.

There is also street parking. Wait to be seated. Best to have a reservation during peak hours. Weekend brunch and evenings I imagine to be busy. QR code menu. NOTE if you go during brunch and you get a cocktail from the menu you won't see the prices for brunch. That is part of the reason for the low rating. Even though the drink menu says the days and hours for those prices, you have to ask for the after those hours. The menu has your typical southern brunch flare with a twist. The drink menu is good. I ordered the impossible burger slider, it doesn't come with anything. Just two sliders. I ordered the potatoes. Even though the sliders were decent. It was a little salty. Presentation was good. Watermelon savage. I also tried the scrambled eggs - way too salty. It was inedible. My brunch partner didn't like the grits or chicken biscuit that it came with. Service was fine. Decor and atmosphere was nice. Overall, it was decent. It seems like a nice place to grab drinks and catch a vibe or be the vibe. Gratuity is included. Overall, decent spot. Oh and there is outdoor seating that includes a stage.

Why put us in between people when there are spots available that would give everyone breathing room? We don't have to be sat up underneath one another. We asked for water immediately upon being seated and would have to ask for it a total of four times before we got it. We forgot who our server actually was because we saw her so few times. The food delivery time was typical; about 20-30 minutes after ordering. Our appetizers were so good; the cheese drip with crostini and the honey pull apart biscuits. With that in mind, we thought the entrees would be just as good. We were wrong. The catfish and grits were fried hard; crispy hard. The chicken biscuit was supposed to have a fried egg and it came scrambled and none of it had any flavor. The biscuit was still on point and flavorful, but the chicken and the egg were not seasoned at all. We enjoyed the decor and the theme of the space. It was super cute and well-decorated. If we go back we know what dishes we won't get, we know the appetizers are going to be on point, and we know to expect slow service. We were treated well, just at a snail's pace. They are located in a shopping center, so lots of free parking here. Their prices were reasonable too.

They have a few locations on the Southside and a robust menu. It was after 12 PM but they only serve breakfast and lunch. I was on the fence with ordering a burger or a breakfast plate. I also wanted to try their flights at the bar so I did just that. I decided on the Crab Cake Benny and the mimosa flight. For the price of 2 drinks, it's a better value to get the flight. The bartender was attentive, yet busy and service was fast. The food was presented very well and the drinks were great. I had a simple one flavor for the mimosa flight then asked for the rose mix for just one of my drinks. That caused my flight to go from $19.99 to $24.99. Wow. It was literally a shot size! The Crab Cake Benedict with grits was delightful. I mean, one of the best I've eaten in ages. I had it prepared on a biscuit versus an English muffin. The best choice! The grits were flavorful with just the right amount of butter and salt. Overall, it was a great lunch but the up-charge on the flight was the only low-light. Took a star off for that. I'll surely be back when I'm in the area!

The space itself is actually a decent size--medium to large with enough seating to where you aren't fighting for real estate against the afternoon rush. It has a good flow to it, which I appreciated. I decided to deviate from the standard soul food lanes and went with the Caribbean Jerk Alfredo Combo, which comes with chicken and shrimp, plus some garlic bread on the side. Now, let's be clear: this is a soul food establishment, not a Caribbean kitchen, and that distinction was definitely present in the flavor profile. Everything was pretty tasty and the portions were solid, but it wasn't the best Jerk I've ever encountered. The sauce had some life to it, but if you're looking for that authentic island heat that makes you see colors, this isn't that. It's a soulful take on a fusion dish, and it does the job well enough for a mid-week craving. Overall, the vibes were straight and the food was good. It's a reliable spot to keep in the rotation when you want a heavy plate and want to keep your dollars in the community. I'll probably stick to the more traditional staples next time I slide through, but I walked out satisfied.
