Mi Oaxaca taquería — Restaurant in Durham

I heard so many people talking about their "amazing" tlayudas and how it was "just like my trip to Mexico!" After eating here, I think those people are simply excited that they found any place at all that served a tlayuda.

Wonderful, authentic Mexican food with huge portions! Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Can't recommend this place enough. Make sure to get the horchata, tlayudas, tacos and tortas. They also have a free picnic tables with umbrellas so you can enjoy...
