This place is very small. There is literally one menu at the counter. It was a little dusty in there. Could use some sprucing up. But that being said, the Torta Sandwich was delish. I would never have went here on my own. I'm glad I tried it. But I was a little worried about the cleanliness factor. I would probably go back with a little arm twisting. 3/5 read more

La Oaxaquena - Torta Sandwich - Mexican Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

We came for dine in and was surprised to find only a few tables in a very small seating area within a grocery store type atmosphere. There was also a television in the seating area with Spanish tv shows playing the entire time. The food was good. I understand the small space- I just wasn't thrilled with having my son distracted by the tv during dinner time. We don't do tv during dinner at home and certainly not at a restaurant. It was a losing battle even with the unfamiliar language on the tv. Like I said the food was tasty though, and the staff friendly- I'm just not thrilled on the distracting atmosphere of both tv and grocery store all right by the dinner table. read more

Best Mexican food I've had in a long time. It's a combo market and a few tables. Everything made fresh, con cariño. Thank you for welcoming us. read more

Misleading menu prices. Food was good but not worth what I paid for it... although it was worth what the menu says I should have been charged! Went in on a Wednesday evening and was the only diner there. Had to walk thru a few aisles of groceries to get to a section of tables -- there was a table of latinos watching tv in the corner and an older latina working on her laptop in another corner. Wasn't sure who to make eye contact with to get direction -- the older woman hailed someone to get me a menu. I ordered carnitas ($8 printed in the menu, crossed out, inked in at $10.50) and two tamales ($1.50 each). Waitress asked me what kind of tamales I wanted and the older woman informed me that they were out and I could come back in the morning for tamales. Evidently they make them fresh every day, but if you miss them, you're SOL. Also got a Jarritos soda ($1.25). Food was hot, fast, and GOOD. Waitress (actually the waitress-slash-cook) was attentive, possibly overly so. Problem came in at checkout. I was charged $15.50 for my meal. I protested that my tamales, although ordered, were out. Turns out my meal was $12.75 and soda was $1.75. Why? When I protested, I was told it was taxes. Um, no. I was then informed that there was a charge for eating in. Well, if that's the case, print separate menus for eating in vs carryout! I know you need to reprint your menus because you've already inked out all your prices!! I didn't feel like arguing, but I most certainly am never going back. read more

Stopped in for lunch recently. This is in the Progress Plaza, near the intersection of Walnut & Progress. I've driven past it before, but never entered. It's a mexican store that has clothing, groceries, sundries & a small kitchen in the back. The menu was basically enchilladas, fajitas, burritos, tacos and a few meal dishes. I just got some tacos (1.50 each) for the road. Though we were the only ones in the store the service was painfully slow, it took nearly 20 minutes to get our to-go food. I'll give it a second chance, if it doesnt wow me, I wont be back. read more

Authentic, good Mexican food. Very nice family-run place. Small with only 6 tables and they also sell Mexican food products.

A coworker turned me on to their tamales, which he orders for Christmas eve annually. We ordered a dozen chicken and a dozen pork. So good! My husband says they taste just like the ones he gets in his hometown in Mexico. I'll be interested in trying their other items. read more

The best most authentic Mexican restaurant in Harrisburg. Reminds me of the good home cooking my mom use to make. Even the venue reminds me of a small Mexican restaurant from back home. Highly recommend it. Also thy make some killer salsa. read more

Out of all the Mexican restaurants in the area this in my opinion is the best. Yes it's small, yes some items may be a bit overpriced and yes it's cash only but it's all so good. The tacos, the burritos, the friendly service (with a smile) these are genuinely nice people. If you don't mind sitting around for a couple minutes in a place that holds 14 people tops then this is your place. Sometimes it'll be just you and sometimes it'll be you and 13 other people. You won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing authentic Mexican food. We couldnt believe how fast our order was cooked and how great service we were given. Truly recommend 100%.

Upon my search for good mexican food we stopped in here, got a quesadilla, which consisted of a small tortilla with a dash of cheese for the way high priced of ten dollars! Ridiculous, asked for a bean and cheese burrito and they could not do that because apparently anything that gets beans had the meat mixed in? Weird and makes no sense, ended up with a carne asada burrito for ten bucks, still high especially given the size, it was dripping with grease, also got 4 carne asada tacos with cilantro and onions for another 10, the tacos weren't bad and were definitely the best of the three, they didn't have a ton of flavor and were average sized, the cilantro and onions were fresh and tasty and definitely helped with the tacos, the green tomatillo had a bit of flavor and was somewhat spicy, the absolute saving grace and the only reason they get three stars instead of one is the red sauce that came with the burrito, way over priced average food, was let down by the fact they blew it with a very basic quesadilla, and couldn't even make an even more basic bean and cheese burrito. Won't go back and the search continues. read more
