My old friend and I stopped in for a lunch while passing through Selma. We did not expect to find such a hidden gem located in plain sight. As a long time, Mexican food aficionado I would recommend this authentic experience to anyone interested in Oaxaca recipes. I had the black mole with pork and it was delicious. Fantastic taste experience. Thank you Oaxaca Restaurant! read more

Came here before a play at the Arts Center. The waitress was nice and helpful and the interior is colorful. The food was good, but not great. My mole was tasty and I love the homemade tortillas. My sons pizza was just ok and everything else was average. I would try it again, but I'm not going out of my way to go. 3.5 read more

This was our first time eating at Oaxaca Restaurant in Selma but it won't be out last! Everything on the menu looks good! I got a the Tamale Oaxaquenos and I can honestly say it's one of the best tamales I've had in a long time. Not to mention it's huge and I was able to take a good amount home. My daughter had a chicken burrito with rice and beans and really enjoyed it as well! The staff was very friendly and answered all our questions and the manger was very welcoming! We'll be back again soon! read more

I came here about two weeks ago with my family & I was excited to eat here but ended up disappointed. The food had no flavor, just blah ! read more

Wonderful family here at Oaxaca! I love hearing the staff laugh and have a good time while on the clock. I have passed by Oaxaca for my entire life and when I finally decided to try them out I was sad to know I missed out on them for so many years. Their meals and portions are hardy and inexpensive, perfect for anyone balling on a budget. (I have given 2 stars for taste/flavor of torta and horchata) read more

I called to place an order, after several tones someone answered the phone. She asked me to be on hold and never heard back from her. I ended ordering food from other restaurant. I gave 2 stars because at least she answered the phone. read more

The best restaurant ever, represents my cultures food beautifully everyone is very kind and welcoming

Love this place, I love coming here to eat. My experiences eating here have been great, I don't need to complain about anything except for the fact that there's been few times they have run out of quesillo. Favorite dish to eat is Molcajete read more

1) it's $2.75 for a can of Coke. It's expensive and they run out of things so you need to ask what you can order. Foods ok. Nothing to write home about. read more

It's been a while since my wife and I went out to eat (cause of COVID-19) but this small place was amazing. The hostess was super nice, area was clean and food was delicious! Definitely coming back again. read more

Excellent little gem in Selma! Came in for lunch on a Wednesday and had the whole place to myself. Very pleased with the extensive menu. Not your usual fare at all. I had the Nopal Zapoteco. The Tasajo (marinated beef) was very flavorful. Service was perfectly pleasant and my server nicely explained the menu items I was unfamiliar with. Prices very reasonable. Will return. read more

I based my last visit on the review left by other yelpers. My family and I decided to go to lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. We walked in and the place was pretty much interesting. There were only 2 other compadres sitting there and they were done with their lunch and just talking. We picked a table, sat down, and waited a good 10 minutes. Nothing. Barely a hello when we walked in. So, I stood up and grabbed us some menus and then the waitress brought us chips. Stale chips. So gross. We waited a few more minutes then walked out. Service just wasn't that great. We were there for a good 15+ minutes and all we got was chips. If your service isn't great, you won't get our business. read more

Not your typical Mexican food. First, the best iced tea I've had in forever. With key limes, it's perfect with this food. Next, the Negro Mole---not overly sweet. I enjoyed the tamale very much. The home-made corn tortillas delighted my date. It's a small place, not glam, but clean & we had a nice time. read more

Oaxaca Restaurant - Gotta love Frieda. - Mexican Near Me - Selma, California

Was in Selma for business, heard the hype about Sals went there before not impressed, walked in today at Oaxaca Restaurant was very amazed, as soon as I walked in you feel and see your at a Mexican Restaurant. The Mole Negro con Pollo was so good; the coke is from Mexico bottled and yes true Mexican restaurants use Homemade tortillas and they do. Will take advantage of this place when I happen to be in Selma again. read more

There tamales are very good! Very authentic, cant wait to go back. My kids really liked them. Worth a try!

This place was one of the few Mexican restaurants that stuff their Chile rellenos with actual Mexican cheese. Yummy! They also have homemade corn tortillas. read more

I love this place! The food is tasty and the pork or chicken mole is fantastic! Great atmosphere and a place I will keep going back to! Waitresses very good! read more

I have been there twice and both times it has been delicious. The homemade tortillas take it to the next level!

Was returning to the Valley with family and checked out Yelp for Mexican restaurant recommendations between Fresno and Visalia. Came across Oaxaca Restaurant and decided from the heavily food positive reviews to check it out. What a find!! We ordered the Mole Negro and the memelas. Not all of the offerings were familiar to my family but what we ultimately ordered was perfectly prepared, presented and tasted delicious! The mole was perfectly seasoned as the flavor was deep and rich. The memelas, a light corn tortilla, not unlike a sope, yet lighter in texture and topped with beans and a variety of meats was equally delicious. A visit here is a real treat and the Oaxaca is a treasure to our community that needs to support small restaurants that wish to bring variety to our food landscape. read more

Came in and wasn't even spoken to for 10 minutes. No menus brought. The waitress didn't even stopped to say they were sorry for the wait. Left without eating. read more

Great place and delicious food. The Aguas frescas are really good too. Overall good customer service, Definitely will go there again. read more

Horrible service! The waitress is rude. She kept having people move to different tables after they had sat down. Does not pay attention when taking orders. She brought my boyfriend a dish he didn't order and when we told her she said "we don't have what you wanted anyway" they didn't have most of the menu items they offer either. Table next to us ordered 4 different times and they had none of the dishes they wanted. Why have such a large menu if you can't offer it to your customers? Worse service ever! Don't waste your time at this place. As for the food it was ok I've had way better read more

We stopped by this little hidden gem we found on accident and enjoyed a wonderful meal and warm hospitality!! The tamal was so delicious! Next time, we will try Nopal Clayuda(I may have misspelled). It looked amazingly delicious! The ambiance is quite charming too with it's bright colors bringing you a little piece of Mexico here in America. We will definitely come again! read more

Went in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Three tacos with beans and rice for 8 bucks. Tried one of each, pork, asada and chicken. Each one was tender, lean and had delicious flavor. Can't wait to go back! read more

I love this place. They serve the best camarones empanizados. Real cheap too for really good food.

This place is good! When they first bring in the salsa and chips and the salsa is tasty you know the food is going to be good. I got a chicken burrito and it was very flavorful. I tried my friends food as well and it was delicious. They have hand made tortillas!! The waitress was kind, the decorations in the restaurant were nice as well. The horchata was delicious. Overall the experience was positive and I will be returning to this restaurant. read more

The prior reviewer was correct--the chips were stale--not good. We ordered the appetizer,the fajitas, and the dish that looks like a pizza. the "pizza"dish, the tortilla tasted and even smelled stale. The appetizer was the most decent. I really wanted to support this place but the food didn't seem fresh,which is too bad. read more

What more needs to be said other than "Tlayuda in the Central Valley!" It's about time! Every Oaxaca delicacy you can imagine. Real mole! I'm in heaven. read more

I was lucky enough to come across Oaxaca Restaurant, thanks Yelp. Really really good place. This is not a burrito place or something. This is a very authentic oaxaca place with very good food with real mexican taste. I really loved this place and even that I live very far I will stop by whenever I get the chance. Restaurant is not fancy but was clean, with excellent service and very good food. I had and order of enchiladas de Mole and an order of memelas. Both of the dishes very delicious. The mole was perfect and memelas de queso and memelas de chorizo were very good. I wish I had this place closer to home! read more

This is a nice little place to go eat, decided to go and try something different and this hit the spot, if you are looking for your typical Mexican food, burritos, tacos, etc., this is ain't, if you are looking for something different and good, this place is good, portions are big and reasonable prices read more

Soooo.....delicious and loved how the waitress helped me to order what I wanted. She was very patient and nice. There are many options on the menu which its really nice to have variety. Make sure you know some Spanish or just have time to look up a few things, I'm so bad when it comes to Spanish. The food was definitely made with love so go here being patient. Food is worth 5 stars,just gave place 4 stars because they were out of things on the menu. read more

Kinda a small mom and pops place , homemade style literally but the chips were store bought overall it was good . I would not order the michaladas here or the shrimp, they did not devein the shrimp on my beer and smelled a little too fishy or I would have ordered a cocktail de Cameron . I ordered the chile relleno , I give it a three . My son ordered the tacos they were pretty good and I think had home made tortillas . Overall I think a 3 maybe 4 stars . You really don't have to many options out here . read more

Found from yelp reviews, this little place is awesome. Homemade everything. Mole negro is WOW, my buddy had the Marisco molcajete . Had an appetizer with a few different items (forget the name) excellent. Service was great. Would go back for sure next time in town. MUY BUENO!!!! read more

If you are looking for very good and authentic Mexican food this is an excellent spot. Great mix of traditional and unique dishes. Highly recommend. read more

This place has good food but absolutely terrible service. The server had a rude look on her face the whole time and a bad attitude, she didn't give napkins, spoons, or straws until asked for. read more

A surprisingly nice variety of Oaxacan dishes which are prepared fresh and delicious, and served in large portions. Try the Clayuda which is a Mexican type of pizza-I enjoy their vegetarian version which comes with a grilled cactus leaf-penca de nopal asado, famous for nutritional and health promoting properties. Other items I enjoy regularly are their yummy side dishes of black beans and rice, regional specific to Oaxaca (I am told) and always served fresh, hot and aromaticly appealing. Their aguas frescas (fruit or rice based beverages ) are made-from-scratch and are sweetened just enough, to where you can still savor the exotic flavors of tamarindo, Jamaica, or the rice/lime/cinnamon combos. I highly recommend this small hole-in-the-wall eatery, where the quality of food is worth the wait. read more

They must still be pulling from that same 500 pound chip bag...still stale, but the salsa they served with it was fresh and very spicy so that helped. Note to owners: Servers need to be friendly in order for customers to want to come back. Even if the food isnt the best Oaxacan around, they will come back if the experience is a good one. So smile, young waitress its free and could pay in the end. With a pretty good view of the kitchen, I was excited to see the mexican lady making fresh tortillas for my upcoming order. I ordered the black mole w/chicken after doing a couple laps with the server about what I 'wanted' from the menu and what was 'available' at the moment. Mole was pretty good. Satisfactory. Somewhere between mole spice and mole sweet but the two never quite met. The fresh tortillas I was looking forward to.....lacked salt but still hot, nice and fluffy. A solid place to eat. Just dont expect to be whisked away on a Oaxacan journey of the senses. read more
