    Quesadillas Oaxaqueñas
    B M.

    Food was fresh and tasty. I ordered the quesadillas one chicken and one beef, they didn't disappoint. Service was fast, our waitress was friendly and kind. The restaurant smelled delicious when they were preparing our food. Would definitely go back.

    Chilaquiles!!
    Carlos E.

    Buenísimo!! Disfrute un desayuno muy sabroso de chilaquiles, huevos estrellados, y cecina. Café de olla excelente. Y servicio muy cordial!

    Torta de asada

    Their food is for White People. Bro real talk Ive never tasted anything so flavor less in my life meat looks like they washed it off with water, every item I ordered was came falling apart with only the most basic ingredients really a mockery to call this Mexican food.

    Close up of my Tasajo Encebollado.

    We wanted to try to eat something different and we came across the bright lights of El Charro Oaxaca Family Restaurant. We are used to the same ol', same ol' Mexican food, but this location is a new adventure. First, the service was great. We didn't understand the descriptions on the menu and our waitresses were excellent in trying to explain the plates. The Tlayuda was the perfect appetizer. We honestly thought is was something like chips and salsa, but we were surprisingly incorrect. It was like a size of a small pizza but a corn flour crust topped with black beans, cabbage, and shredded cheese. It wasn't melting hot, but still good! The slice of marinated pork was in the middle. I liked my Tasajo Encebollado a lot! Sure, there are pictures on the menu, but the dish is much better. Thinly sliced beef, onion, black beans, and green chillis. Scoop it all up and wrap in a corn tortilla and you got yourself a great meal. I felt I was served a lot, and that is not a complaint. My boyfriend enjoyed the Alambre Plate. He decided to check online for what this dish was and he expected bacon. He got ham, which I can argue is probably a Oaxacan cooked way to cook bacon. He liked his dish, wanted more meat, but he didn't complain. His dish was served with black beans and rice. Overall, this was an excellent experience and we would go again.

    The food is authentic, and freshly made. The handmade tortilla, and chicken mole was delicious. Love all the beautiful artwork and decor.

    Chile Rellenos are pretty good.

    Tlayuda is an appetizer that is like a crisp tostada on a cracker-thin blue corn tortilla spread with black beans, cabbage, white cheese, guacamole and your choice of meat. I asked for chicken, which is not actually one of the choices on the menu, but it was delicious and I suggest you try it this way. It will taste sort of like a fried taco.

    Delicious

    This place is hidden but everything is good The first time I found a place that they actually put queso fresco on beans and not American yellow cheese.. the huarache was so delicious with extra spicy salsa on top

Paulina's has consistently delivered incredible food, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that truly feels like home. The food is authentic, fresh, and made with so much care. Every dish is packed with flavor, and you can tell they put their heart and soul into everything that comes out of the kitchen. Whether we're stopping in for a quick meal or celebrating a special occasion, the quality is always exceptional. What truly sets this restaurant apart, though, is the people. The employees are genuinely kind, welcoming, and hardworking. They remember familiar faces, treat everyone like family, and make every visit feel special. That level of hospitality is rare and is one of the biggest reasons we continue coming back year after year. Supporting local businesses like this is important because they are the heart of our community. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, exceptional service, and a place that truly cares about its customers, I can't recommend this restaurant enough. Eight years later, it's still one of our family's favorite places, and we'll happily keep coming back for many more.

We came here about 3 years ago for my son's birthday, and he insisted on coming back here again for this year's birthday. The waiter was nice and attentive, he didn't have any issues waiting when we needed more time to decide on our order, and he was quick to correct an issue when our food arrived. We never ran out of our drinks, which is a feat in itself with how fast the kids drain theirs! The best part for me was when I showed the waiter a picture of a drink I ordered 3 years ago and the bartender was able to replicate it and tell me what it was so I could order it again. It wasn't on their menu anymore, so it was impressive that he was able to identify it from a picture. Bring back the White wine Sangria, it's delicious! Oh, I also have to mention that when they brought the ice cream out to sing happy birthday, they made sure to include an ice cream for my 5 year old so that she didn't feel left out.

The item was actually supposed to be chicken suizas, but we received chicken enchiladas with green sauce. Ironically, my mom liked this first order more than the second one.

My mom enjoyed her chicken enchiladas. 2nd order: Shrimp fajitas, but I received fajitas with chicken, shrimp and steak. I made an attempt to eat the steak but it was dry. We ordered chicken suizas and received the actual chicken suizas, which did not have shredded chicken but blocks of chicken. My mom hated this dish and said it made her sick unfortunately. The manager was gracious in correcting the mistakes and gave us some delicious churros, so that helped. The flour tortillas seemed handmade, they were very fluffy. The salsa and chips were good. I enjoyed my fajitas but sadly my mom hated the suizas.

Taquitos were crispy and flavorful. Salsas were fire. They had three and all were very good, with the dark red being spiciest. The ok: asada burrito and taco. Both were small and could have had a little more meat. Burrito was mostly beans and taco was tiny. The miss: hard shell taco. Was greasy greasy greasy! More lettuce and cheese could have masked that some, but was mostly tortilla which was drenched.

I ordered two fish, one grilled shrimp taco and one potato taco. The food came out quickly and was plated beautifully with both lemon and lime wedges. I was asked if I would like a mild, medium, or hot salsa. I chose the medium one but it had only just a little hint of a kick. It was a good tasting accompaniment for the seafood. The beer batter was crispy on the fish. There is plenty of shredded cabbage and a good crema on the tacos. Fish was very fresh and clean tasting. The grilled shrimp was seasoned well but were small and a bit dry. I would probably try the beer battered shrimp next time. Potato taco was crunchy and the filling tasted good.
