While in Duluth I did a Google search for restaurants near me - and La Oaxaqueña Taqueria came up highly recommended nearby. Always in the mood for authentic tacos - I headed right over in the late afternoon to get in before the dinner rush.
The restaurant is in a strip center as I expected - and it's relatively small... also as I expected. The ambient music was true to form ethnic - though a little loud for my taste. I was dining with someone who is hard of hearing and wears hearing aids - and the guy at the next table listening to a loud video on his phone wasn't helping... so I had to deduct a star for atmosphere. It is what it is... I'm keeping this review honest.
I still rated the service a full five stars as our waitress was sweet and helpful as she could be - though she really didn't speak any English and we certainly couldn't habla any Espanol. We made due with our limitations and I ordered the carne asada tacos and my friend ordered the barbacoa tacos - and they were promptly served up piping hot.
The tacos had plenty of meat in them - and both styles were delicious. The barbacoa tacos were so good - I placed another order for three more to take home! The price including tax for nine tacos and two drinks was right at $40 - which I thought was very fair in today's inflationary times.
I enjoyed my visit to La Oaxaqueña Taqueria and will be sure to stop by again the next time...

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such warmth, and within minutes, we had refreshing chips and salsa in front of us. It was such a relief! The service continued to be fantastic, and the food? Oh my goodness, the food was delicious! I had the burrito and every bite was pure perfection. My husband's quesadilla was equally amazing. This place truly saved our evening with their speedy, friendly service and seriously tasty eats. We can't recommend it enough – if you want great Mexican food and service that makes you feel genuinely welcome, this...
Read moreMy wife and I come here often. My wife is from Mexico, and I lived in Mexico for several years as well. We moved here from Dallas TX a few years ago and have had a hard time finding really good Mexican food in Atlanta. With time, we found this place and I have to say it's one of my favorite places for Mexican food out here in ATL. It's family owned. The sisters that own it are so friendly and provide excellent customer service! I've tried most of the menu items here and so far , and I have yet to find an item that doesn't taste fresh and have a lot of flavor. Try their Tlayudas and their Mole Enchiladas, you won't regret it! Their tacos and gorditas are handmade and pack a ton of flavor! I'll continue to give them...
