very good food highly recommend! service is excellent, staff is very kind and fast! Will come again

Came here on a stormy night and got the Birria pizza, chicken tamale, and champurrado. YUM He gave us a little buzzer to alert us when the food was done so I could sit in my car to wait so we weren't out in the storm which was convenient. Pizza came with yummy consume. I got the read and green salsa and they were both good. The red was sooo spicy. Loved it but be weary. The drink was so yummy. Perfect. read more

Had the Al Pastor and carnitas tacos and they were delicious. Speedy service too! Thank you!

Overpriced. Hidden fees. Average food. I usually eat from taco trucks in Puyallup and near Sumner. The prices here at the taco truck by the market compared to trucks in those other two general areas are outrageous! $18 for "birratacos". $7 for sodas (like, a single standard sized orange Fanta in a glass bottle). Still, despite the sticker shock, I decided to play an order and give the place the benefit of the doubt. I paid with a debit card. There's a sign on the taco truck itself that says MasterCard/Visa/etc. cards are accepted. The cashier asked me if I had any cash. I said no. He ran my card but charged me another dollar for the card transaction, I guess. There was no sign posted on or around the front window warning potential customers about this charge. Then, of course, they had me sign a receipt with the option of providing a tip. For the record, I still tipped - not entirely sure for what other than getting nickel and dimed. When my order was ready, he asked if I wanted salsa. I asked politely for green. He gave me one small plastic container. The guest prior received at least three. The food itself was fine. Somewhat soggy and the presentation was apathetic at best, but the flavor was average. Definitely NOT worth the premium price. I can only assume the chainlink fence that surrounds the taco truck is to prevent angry and gypped previous customers from seeking retaliation after closing. I'm kidding, but barely. In review, the prices are exorbitant, the hidden fees are uncomfortable, the service is inconsistent at best, and the food itself is just average. I can confidently say: I will not be returning. read more

Food is SUPER over priced for the amount you get also overpriced drinks too. 2 cokes were 14 dollars... don't let them catch you off guard with their mediocre food and high prices. read more

Got charged 16 something dollars for a burrito when the listed price was 13.99 ?? Food was too mid for it to be 16 this was at the #2 location. read more

Bring lots of cash if you have more than one person, they must have moved here from Seattle to charge 19.99 for a standard torta. From other reviews it looks like they doubled prices since last year (the menu on the side of the truck has sharpie-edited prices now). If you want a standard torta and fries and a drink you're looking at $30+. For that price I can go to any Mexican restaurant in Shelton cheaper and I don't have to stand in a parking lot waiting for the food. They did have a special on the Oaxaquena Torta for $13.95, with fries was $21+. Crazy. The torta was good and seemed fresh, but wasn't anything spectacular for the prices. There was a reasonable amount of meat, but it didn't seem to have much seasoning. Fries are your standard Safeway frozen crinkle cut fries...for 7 bucks. You can get a good torta for $6.99 at the Shell gas station on 1st. Then I got handed my food and they forgot the fries...there was only one other guy there the whole time that arrived after me and they forgot I ordered fries. Then I paid and they didn't notice I was supposed to get change. With the prices and those things that happened, I was amused they had a tip jar. That jar must be dusty. My suggestion: Reduce prices and have some reasonably priced lunch combos. The torta was a good size and lots of fries on my order, but that's way too much food for lunch. A smaller lunch combo for 8-10 bucks is the sweet spot. The only option here if you want a burrito or torta and a drink is $20-30. I can't afford to go back with those prices. Either they aren't getting enough business or they're trying to pay off some huge debt quick. Raising prices out the roof isn't going to help get business. read more

They take for ever and prices are pretty high for very small portions. They even charged you extra for sauce. If I purchase 3 tacos I expect at least half of lime in my order. Overpriced. read more

Very overpriced mexican food truck food. 9.99 for a burrito. Food is pretty good but again, overpriced. We would stop again in a pinch but won't see this food truck out simply for the price of the food. No other food truck I have been to charges this much for simple mexican food. read more

You can tell this place is great because employees always so kind and food is amazing... priced reasonably and wonderful presentation. They clearly live up to their reputation it seems read more

The only Mexican place my wife lets us eat at! Everything we've tried has been great from the Tres Amigos burritos, to the tacos to the asada fries. Cant wait to try the quezabirria tacos out. read more

Stopped by to get some food before hitting the commute home, but saw a gentleman talking right in the window, with out a mask. I get it he was on the outside but come on they have signs that say "take out only" they obviously don't want people eating there, and then he started eating burrito right out the window and taking to the people inside , we just left. how to support small business when they don't follow cdc regulations. read more

Can't believe I didn't stop by sooner! Ordered the 2 carne asada tacos w/rice & beans combo. Perfect amount of food & everything was super fresh. Even got a little container of salsa verde! Definitely worth stopping by! I went during off-peak hours on a Saturday afternoon & there was no wait, friendly & fast service! read more

Tacos La Oaxaquena - Carne Asada Tacos, rice & beans - Mexican Near Me - Shelton, Washington

Tacos were pretty good . I'd say it's the real deal here . Fair prices and the food did not take long. Se la rifaron

We've had tacos in Mexico City, Jalisco state, Sonora state, Mérida, Sayulita, and up and down the West coast of the US, including: LA, San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle. WE LOVE TACOS!! We were on a road trip out to Pacific County beaches and saw this stand in Shelton, WA. We pulled in with zero expectations and were left surprised at how good the tacos were. We were three people and each had tacos carnitas without onion. The cilantro was fresh, the pork was exceptionally tasty and the tortillas were way above par. Our plates also included pickled carrots, radish, and grilled onions that were excellent. Their horchata was also much better than usual. A lot of taste and a lot of value here. Highly recommended, but plan on 100% take-away (at least during C-19 times) as there were no tables of any sort to sit at. We staged off of the hood of our car... No shame. read more

Epic spot. Took awhile to get our food because we got there right as they were opening. But the food was ridiculously good. Had burritos and a huarache. We eat a lot of Mexican food and this was some of the best ever. Thank you!!!! read more

Can't believe this place has 4 stars! Two other people had placed their orders ahead of me so when I ordered the carne asada dinner, the guy tells me it'll be 5 minutes. 20 minutes later, after completing orders that were placed after me, he tries to give me carne asada fries. I told him no, I ordered the dinner. 5 minutes later and a couple more people getting their orders ahead of me, I finally get my order. Had to hurry back for work and when I open my order, no knife to cut the steak! The meat itself was tough and had no taste! The refried beans were terrible but the rice was ok. Nothing had seasoning. The absolute worst carne asada dinner I ever had and overpriced for the tiny portions you get. read more

Best Taco Truck I've ever had the pleasure of visiting! I lived in San Diego for years and visited so many corner taco stands and taco trucks I've had my fair share of good stuff and bad stuff. This is nothin' but the good stuff!! I had the Carnitas Torta and it was absolutely loaded for $6.00! I think there was an entire creamy soft flavorful avocado on there! Tender carnitas packed with just enough flavor, beans, cheese, lettuce, jalapenos, you name it, it was on there! The grilled bread added a wonderful crispy texture that had me taking bite after bite, long after I was full! The California Burrito is huge! I didn't try it but the guy who had it said it was amazing and it looked amazing! The Street Tacos had plenty of meat filling and good flavor and were presented very fresh and pretty. The cook checked on us part way through our lunch which was a nice touch. There were no other visitors to the truck so we got our food relatively quickly. It's all cooked to order so it's not ready in an instant but it didn't take but a minute or two to have all three orders hot and fresh in our hands. There's a covered area to sit so you don't have to stand and eat or take it on the run. The bikini clad barristas across the parking lot provide for some entertainment and the dog won't bother anybody unless maybe provoked! Can't wait to pass this way again! read more

I ordered the carne asada burrito (California size)! It was huge, awesome and well worth every penny. The best I have had in a long time.

The tacos and quesadilla did not disappoint! And the green salsa is tasty good...on everything. Being on a GF and dairy free restricted diet, the tacos fit the bill for me wanting Mexican food! We'll certainly be back!! read more

Love the street tacos here! I took pics of the menu because there weren't any on yelp. Definitely worth the trip. Little wait to get your food but at least that way you know it's fresh and hot! read more

Got a burrito and fries. $21. Seattle prices in Shelton. Absolutely ridiculous. Please don't overcharge customers, I like this place but won't be coming back. read more

Best taco truck in Mason County. If you're in Shelton be sure and stop by and try it out!

Yes, I am from SoCal, where Mexican food abounds! I am born, raised and still reside in SoCal; so don't worry about more transplants coming your way, as it's a great place to visit and spend money. 20 years ago the only place that dished out quality Mexican food in that region was a hole in the wall I found in Hoakium (don't know if it still exists). But, the Mexicans have migrated north in large quantities so it was only a matter of time before the quality of the Mexican food moved upwards. This was the place for me, when needing a fix on my last visit. Funny how my brethren from town hit the local Alberto's when down here on a near daily basis! LMAO. I pigged out on a variety of street tacos and enjoyed every one of them. The salsa was also good to go! I am a fan of this place and it almost gets the full 5 star rating, but people toss 5 and 1 star ratings around like candy... Funny how a "progressive" State such as Washington allows for quasi-permanently parked roach coaches to flourish up there! Now, I by no means am a California leftist (there are very few of us natives left that don't tote the prevailing party line). I am all for allowing businesses to flourish, with as little regulation as possible, but am just surprised - as my home State shuts down the little man all the time around here (or makes it so costly they just give up). So, keep up the "good work" (on this aspect) Washingtonians! Oh, and don't be so "intolerant" - I'd still have a taco (or beer) with you even though we may bat from the opposite sides of the plate. ;-) read more

They always make me delicious food and make my weird requests happen! Lol. I love this place!

Mediocre Mexican food at "gouge the gringo" prices. $11.99 for a quesadilla! This is Shelton, not Seattle. No gracias!

Delicious tacos, friendly people. I stopped here on my way back to Olympia from a hike in the Olympics. I recently moved here from California, so I have eaten many a taco truck taco. I was a little disappointed that they didn't serve any Oaxacan food, and also they were out of tamales, but the tacos did not disappointed. The al pastor were especially tasty. Will come here again when I'm near Shelton. read more

Born and raised in AZ, live 8+ years in SoCal, and I was in desperate need of good Mexican food. Well I found it. This is far and above the best and most authentic I have found in the area! The Carne Asada taco's and California Burrito will be ordered again when I return in the near future! read more

Had to return Redbox movies to Walmart and what happens on the way home? 4 amazing tacos happen 2 chicken 2 steak cooked to perfection. This place has my heart read more

This is a taco trailer up the hill above town on the way to 101. It's next to a collision business. I always stop here on the way back to Portland. It's open late and the food is authentic, good, and cheap. The carnitas on the tacos are always moist. They have built a covered area but if it's cold I still prefer to eat in my car. There's a portapotty there, but I haven't had the courage to enter. My guess would be to go to the bathroom somewhere else. read more

There I was, walking down Olympic. "I could really go for something to eat," I thought. Then I saw it; written on a banner, bleached by the sun, "tacos." As I get closer I see to dudes standing in front of the truck, I ask them what did I get. "Get the California burrito," he said with the air confidence; he's a regular. I got my burrito and I did not disappoint. The next night I go to get myself two tacos, he hands me the plate "Amigo, this one's on me." You'd be hard-pressed to find a better taco in Washington. Good food, good service, what can I say more? read more

If I could eat here everyday I would! The steak tacos are my go to with all the veggies, the red sauce is to die for! Tamales are great and their giant burritos are too. Can't say enough good things. read more

This place is good, I usually get lengua (beef tongue) tacos. I've tried the sopes, not as good as the tacos.
