Our to-go place when craving authentic Oaxaca food we usually get the memelas to share (10/10). Their shrimp tostadas are also amazing & if you are craving something warm & sweet, definitely get this hot chocolate. I usually get the water version (for non-dairy) read more

Ordered through UberEats. Horcharta was overly sweet, imo. Rice was under seasoned and overcooked. Chile relleno was good but I thought the sauce was too thin and rather spicy. I prefer ranchero sauce. Guacamole had a nice color but was overly salty. Oaxaca tamale was not to my taste but that might be a personal preference. The masa tasted under seasoned. Black mole was good. Beans were the best I've ever had. The homemade tortillas were nice. I would have given 3.5 stars if that had been an option. I'd definitely try them again. I think they have good potential but a lot of the dishes weren't executed well, imo. Having said that, I know I'm being picky. read more

A great little twist to Mexican food. Oaxacan style food has its own flavor that is unique and exciting. Check out fried quesadillas, memelas, tlayuda, mole, and chapulines with handmade tortillas. Great bright decor and attentive staff round out this place beautifully. Something different to try every time read more

Stopped here on our way back from Sequoia National Park and had a great experience. The food was excellent - we got a molcajete oaxaqueño, which was a molcajete with 4 types of meat, salsa, onions, avocado, cheese, beans + tortillas. The tortillas are home made and delicious. The portion was very big! It tasted very fresh. We also got the huarache, which was basically the same ingredients but on 4 tortillas, which was also very good. The service was also excellent, our waiter helped us pick our dishes and she was very sweet. The restaurant was full of families (it was a Sunday). Really good and fun vibes. Would definitely recommend! read more

This place has amazing food! Prices for the items are very reasonable!! Love their margaritas! I haven't traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico yet, but imagine this is as authentic as you can get in Fresno! Service is great. Definitely helps if you speak a little Spanish. The ambiance has a mix of loud and fun inside most times, and pretty quiet outside on the patio. Our family visits this establishment a few times a month and we are glad they are in the area! read more

This is for 5/11/25. Me and my family went to this restaurant in the evening.my sister ordered the taco plate when she went in to try the rice and found a hair in the rice. When we called the waitress over she said it wasn't a hair it was a fiber from a towel so my sister dug in and took out the hair and showed the waitress and then she was like ok it is a hair. We also noticed that none of cooks had any hair nets and the plates that they gave us were clean only from the top but the bottom of the plate there was dried food and cilantro so my guess is that they don't have a dishwasher. We wanted to talk to the manager but the waitress said the manager isn't even there there was no one in charge. This tells me this is a badly run restaurant that's going down hill. It's nothing like it was 2 years ago read more

This use to be my go to place. I get the chilaquiles, which are always perfect. But this time, it was missing that love, if you know. Must be a new cook. Service is always great, very attentive. Environment a bit loud. read more

Slowest and worst service in the world. Waited for seating. Waited for chips and salsa. Waited for water. Waited for order to be taken. Once I gave my order I waited another 20 minutes for a plate of mole enchiladas. I asked when I would see my meal and the waitress (Sandy) had no answer. It was another 10 minutes before my meal came. $10 for a tiny margarita served in the smallest margarita glass you've ever seen. Rice and beans were room temperature. Mole sauce was oily and had a strange taste to it. I ended up opening the enchiladas and eating just the chicken inside. And to add insult to injury, I had to go to the counter and ask for a water refill while the waitress was just standing around behind the counter doing nothing. She never came over once to my table after delivering my meal. I wasn't even asked if I wanted another margarita. Overall, a very bad experience. read more

I had a huarache oaxaqueño and that was good, my husband ordered a chile relleno and he said it was fine (presentation wise could have been better). My daughter ordered a plain cheeseburger with fries and it was not good. As you can see by pictures it was burnt I didn't see the bottom until she flipped it and said this doesn't taste good. She had to pick off all the burnt section. Also what kind of fries are those they look so sad and didn't give her that many. Sad to say the quality has gone downhill...if you don't know how to make a basic cheeseburger and fries don't offer it on the menu stick to Mexican/oaxacan food. Also the waitress was not in a good mood I guess they only make red salsa because I asked for salsa on the side and she said "it doesn't come with any" then she points at the complimentary salsa they offer with chips (not really complimentary because their prices are not cheap) and says that's the salsa. I guess they only have red salsa and no other kind. So disappointed with quality of food but more with the customer service. They need to do a better job at hiring. read more

Oaxaca Restaurant - Shrimp, meat, chicken, cheese, and cactus. - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

My wife and I just want to keep coming back. It's a quaint and homely restaurant with the personal touches that make you feel comfortable, like the space was made for you. The staff is all helpful and prompt. The food is beyond delicious. I couldn't believe how good the red mole was, and ugh I don't know why more places don't have Oaxacan chorizo because I swear it is the best. I only wish they had enfrijoladas... maybe I can talk them into making me some lol. Seriously though, just be careful with the salsa. I tell people that I learned to speak Spanish by eating that stuff, it's that powerful. See you again soon! read more

When I got there the service was perfect when I got my food it was delicious and good.

After watching a special on Mexican culture and foods, we had a craving for Mole Negro. It is a special dish unique to Oaxaca Mexico. The origin of this Oaxaca style of Mexican foods is from the Meso American Pre-Colombian time period. The mole sauce is made from cacao. Chocolate comes from the cacao bean. It was a favorite of indigenous pre-Colombian rulers. Mole is still a favorite food in Mexican culture today. On one of our travels in Mexico, we toured many areas in the state of Oaxaca. There several types of mole. Our favorite was mole negro. There is a great Mexican restaurant here in Fresno that features mole. We have eaten at this restaurant several times over the years. It was called the Oaxaca Restaurant. It has a different name but the food so far is the same. We ordered the Mole Negro dish which includes chicken in the rich flavorful mole sauce, beans and rice. It also comes with homemade corn tortillas. The combination of these items makes the meal come alive! It is so delicious. They have an interesting menu. You can have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Door Dash will bring your order right to your home. The service is good and the ambiance is friendly. Try it today. It is a very special treat. Enjoy! read more

I hadn't been to Oaxaca Restaurant in quite a few years, and a friend suggested stopping by. What a great idea! What I liked most about this place was their moles, and I was really looking forward to some authentic Oaxacan mole. This place did not disappoint. I got their enchiladas topped with red mole, Enchiladas de Coloradito. Coloradito is a special mole of Oaxaca and is typically made from ingredients such as raisins, plantains, various peppers, and yes, chocolate. What a special treat! It has been so long since I last had coloradito (which was at this restaurant, no less)! Addressing some of the other recent comments: yes, they do take credit cards, in fact. (I had no problem paying with mine.) And, yes some of the wait staff only speaks Spanish. Big deal! It's Mexican food, from Oaxaca no less! For goodness sakes, that fact only adds to the ambience of the place, and to just how special it is. Enjoy! read more

The service was pretty slow. We waited for our food about an hour and the food came out wrong. It was an unfortunate.

Food was okay; my asada was really tough to chew and food was medium cold. The girls looked exhausted and ready to leave home. 2nd time here but this was my last. Sorry y'all. The atmosphere is nice I love the big tv. read more

Oaxaca has the tastiest and most authentic Mexican food I have ever eaten. I love Mexican food and frequently fix it myself. However, I've been disappointed in most Mexican restaurants because they are inauthentic in their ingredients and sauces run of the mill and they seem to dumb down what they are serving for the general population. Oaxaca restaurant is a charming exception to this. It's a bit nicer than just a hole in the wall, but it's still rather humble in its appearance. There is ample space for dining inside and out. They have a full service bar as well as live music. While those things are attractive, the real star here is the food. It is the stuff of dreams. We had black mole with pork, red mole with chicken, goat stew, a torta, and three Carne Asada tacos for the child. Everything was absolutely delicious. The layers of flavor that they had were exceptional. The Molé was astonishing. It was all I could do to not lick the plate. The pork was tender and flavorful. The chicken fell off the bone and melted in your mouth. And the goat was the best I have ever eaten. Additionally, we had their house margaritas which came rimmed in salt and pepper. They were just the right amount of acidity and sweetness and were not overwhelmed with tequila. I wish I had the capacity to drink more than one. Next time I come, I will be trying the cactus and the crickets as I know I will get an authentic experience with those. I wish I could give this 10 stars. read more

Their Mole negro is amazing. They offer great customer service. Highly recommend Oaxaca Restaurant.

We were craving Mexican food on New Year's Day. After driving around trying to find a place that was actually open, I remembered this restaurant! I have bought Tortas from here a couple times and thought the meat was seasoned well and tasty. Being one of the few restaurants open that day, It was jam packed and I don't think this place was ready nor prepared for it. They were short staffed and I never got my tortillas. I cannot eat Mexican food with out tortillas! I finally had to go to the counter and tell them that I never got them. So at the end ,I did get some, which by the way are hand made and delicious. I received a discount for the mishap and I also got a free horchata with my yelp check in. I do appreciate that they acknowledged their mistake and tried to make it better. The menudo broth had good flavor but too much fat and gristle which was disappointing for my bf. I ordered Camerones al mojo de. Ajo.. it was good but I wish the garlic sauce was more prominent, it was just a little too dry for me. Overall, I would like to try out their Oaxacan specialty dishes and molcajetes. The Asada is good here too. So maybe I can bump this to a 4 Star next time ! read more

Had the mixed fajitas plate. Was surprised at how much i enjoyed my meal. I've had fajitas at different places in town and this is probably the best in town that I've had so far. There is one place outta town (in Bakersfield of all places lol) that's the best. And that place is better hence my 4 stars rating. However, still very good!! Will be back. read more

My first time eating Oaxacan food and it so disappointing. I ordered the chicken mole plate and the chicken was as dry as the waiters personality (he had none). I let him know the chicken was dry and all he said was 'would you like a box?'. He didn't attempt to ask if he could replace it and just said he couldn't do nothing because one of the pieces was eaten. Not to mention, the rice sucked as well. Anyone know where I can get some authentic Oaxacan food where they know how to treat their customers? read more

The service was great. The waitress offered a horchata with prickly pear syrup and melon added, it was delicious! The taco meat was dry and could have been more flavorful but overall not bad.

I went to the Oaxaca Restaurant in Selma! This is the BEST Mexican food in the central valley! The food is authentic and very delicious! These 2 restaurants are owned by the same person!

I went to have some sopes there, this was my second eating there. The first time I ate there I had mole negro and I remember it was good, that was the reason I went again. So when I got the serving of 4 sopes with different meat each one, the actual sope was soggy, usually the sopes get first deep in oil or put on a pan with oil to make them a little hard not too much but this way they don't get soggy with the stuff they put on top. Being 100 Mex, I remember the meet they put on top is shredded not big chucks of meat or chorizo, unless this is how they prepare them in Oaxaca. Also not all sopes are supposed to have beans. I was able to eat only two. I want to try another Oaxaca restaurant to know if this is normal but I doubt it. I'm from around Mexico City and definitely this is not how sopes are made there. Have we changed our recipes? Anyways maybe I will give them another chance and try something else there. But if this gets to the ears of Oaxaca restaurant, please rethink how you make your sopes. read more

This place was sooo good! To be honest we were looking for another place but it was closed my husband pulled over and thank God he did because the food here was so delicious! If you're looking for authentic Mexican food this is your spot. We had tacos that were so tasty and mole that was just right with fall off the bone chicken! The servers were super attentive and very nice! The decor definitely reminded me of my time in Mexico. The bright colors are so inviting. I highly recommend this place. read more

I came back today and the lady who helped me was very short spoken and didn't honor their Yelp check in offer even though I showed her it's still active on Yelp and suggested they take it down if they're no longer offering it.

So since we seen a youtube video of this place we knew we had to go and try this place out! So where do I start? Well to start off this place was really easy to find, upon arriving I noticed they have a good amount of parking--Thats always a plus, their building has a beautiful mural painting on the wall. As I was walking inside to place my order to go I can smell the aromas of rice and salsa and meat which got me more siked about this place. Their restaurant is pleasant and clean. Most of their tables and chairs were stacked to the side of the dining area due to the COVID pandemic theres a limited amount of customers to dine in. They also have a clear cover register to customer. The restaurant is painted and decorated with the Oaxacan culture. Their desert fridge was a little sad-sad in the way that there was little to offer but thats ok, with the whole pandemic its understandable. Cashier was Vero and was very welcoming and helpful and demonstrated good customer service! Thank You!! So I ordered a asada sope which was $4.00 and let me tell you it was HUUUUUUUGGGGE! And the flavors and textures of it was bomb! The sope itself was crunchy but still chewy and was delicious. The beans tasted homemade, and that asada meat oh.my.good.nessss! Idk about you and how you like ur meat but this meat was soo good it wasn't hard, it wasn't greasy, it wasn't salty nor flavorless, it was perfect for anyone! (Especially for picky little ones, my kids ate all of their meat) I ordered special #4 which came with 2 big burritos that are filled with just rice and beans and choice of meat and 6 tacos, I ordered them all with asada. Tacos were plain bc they were for the kids. But dude they were packed with meat and for only $30. I added 2 asada tacos with handmade tortillas @ 3.00 ea which seems like a lot but they were huge and delicious! Tacos there are a little over $1.00 but you must know that they are made with packaged tortillas like the ones u buy at the store.y I also ordered a Barbacoa Roja De Chivo... A goat with its juice and a red sauce and may I say its finger liking and mouth drooling good the smell of it is exquisite! The meat is so tender and the flavors is just perfect not too spicy but enough spice to enjoy it! You wouldn't even know it was goat meat if you weren't told. It comes with 3 homemade tortillas, cilantro, onion and sliced jalapeños to throw in your barbacoa. You can drink the juice and be satisfied haha They have a variety of Mexican drinks like coke in bottle and jarritos n all. I saw a sign that they had micheladas for to go orders too--next time hehe Over all our meal was pricey... Came out to 81.10 but it all was amazing! We will be visiting again! Go check them out if u haven't yet! read more

The food was not as good as it used to be. The prices went up while the quality went down. The waitress never came back to check if the food was good or even to bring us water. We often had to call her to bring some of the most basic stuff like napkins or utensils. Always check your receipts because they try to over charge us for something we didn't order. Save your money. read more
