If you want authentic Mexican food, this is the place. If you're looking for Tex-Mex, go to Chipotle. There's no shredded cheese or baskets of chips here--just real Mexican dishes done right. The tacos and burritos are great, but don't sleep on the dinner plates. In our house, the steak and onions are a favorite every time. My personal go-to is the squash blossom quesadilla--don't ask, just order it (and always ask for extra sauce). One heads-up: they're cash only. read more

I went to this place based on reviews but was highly disappointed. I ordered bistec tacos. The meat was somewhat good and tasty but the rest of the food and experience was awful. The meat came in huge pieces, it should have been chopped smaller. The tortillas are huge, they were very basic, lots of cilantro, not enough onions, lemons were dry, tacos were basically dry unless you use a lot of salsa. I will say the salsa was okay but hardly any flavor. The ladies never checked on me even though I was the only one there. I paid using Zelle. They never came out to confirm my payment or anything so I left. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

We came to the neighborhood on a field trip from Manhattan by bike and were desperate for something to eat. We weren't expecting much because there seemed to be middle of the road restaurants on the strip. Who knew very good Mexican was right here?! This establishment is not fancy, but the tacos are really good. We had the steak with fried jalapeños, the chorizo with cheese and Al pastor tacos. We also had a huge Horchata drink. Everything was quite good. And we've eaten a lot of tacos in our time. The decor is pretty wild too. read more

The food is amazing and the women are very nice. The place is always busy so I'd call ahead to pickup your order or you might be waiting 30mins I ordered a mushroom quesadilla to go and when I got home it looked nothing like a quesadilla but I wasn't disappointed because it was amazing! This place has authentic Mexican food and I'd order the same thing again. read more

Taqueria Oaxaca - a close up of a taqueria - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Food was ok. A lil bland but the Sauces make up for it. My main issue is they cheaped out on the meat. Chicken burrito was mostly salad and rice. Throw some real meat in there. Especially if you're charging Tottenville, 14$ a burrito prices. And Just a heads up There's a language barrier when ordering read more

I'll make this simple. Food: Pretty good if you want REAL mexican food. Prices are spot on with what they should be. Food actually has seasoning and flavor. Not a tex mex restaurant like what everyone is used to. A bit greasy but you can't go wrong when you have a craving. Better than Don Cesar up the block, but not really a place to sit down and have a meal, more of a takeout place. Service: Delivery guy/owner is very nice and personable. The cook is an a$$hole. If she picks up the phone, don't expect to get your order taken unless you speak spanish (which I do). I spoke to her in english one day and she hung up the phone on me. I had to go in person and tell her in spanish (in not so many nice words) that she was pretty much a jerk. She was very surprised that I came in person and pretended as if the phone wasn't working. I watched her as she made my food to make sure she didn't do anything to it. Overall: Just stay away from the woman that cooks and everything will be great. Best mexican place withing a few miles. If you're looking to sit down at a restaurant, this isn't the place (I'd recommend Iguana Azul in great kills). Looking for a takeout place, you hit the spot. Remember this is NOT a tex Mex place, this is real authentic Mexican food. For example, Quesadillas are not what you think they are. read more

I got steak and chicken tacos. Asked for extra onions and cilantro, but it seems like they gave me less. The steak was OK quality. My friend said the chicken was good and seasoned well. This restaurant is the only authentic Mexican place in the Tottenville area, so if I'm in the area, and in the mood for Mexican, I guess I would order from here. read more

Taqueria Oaxaca is located in the most southern tip of Staten Island in Tottenville.I have been ordering from them for years, since first opened by the original owner Jose. Their meat is always fresh as well as the ingredients. Their tacos are prepared the original way which is how they are served in Mexico. I have tried their sopes, huaraches, tacos and some of their main dishes and the food was always good. I like to buy and sponsor small owners. This is a small family owned restaurant where you will eat good Mexican food, the way it should be. They also sell some Mexican sodas like Jarritos and Mexican beer. If you are a futbol (soccer) fan, this is the place to go on a Sunday afternoon. I have watched soccer games here while eating my guacamole, tacos and enjoying a beer, it was great. On Sunday's they offer Barbacoa and Pozole soup. I recommend Oaxaca Taqueria if you are looking for a good Mexican meal in the south shore. read more

Sadly I found flies in my food yesterday. Not one or two, we had to throw the food away. We got the nachos and a chicken dinner. My sister got a salad. Nothing tasted right. I drove passed the place today and the door was open and there were soooo many flies. I just kept driving. Never again. read more

I'm originally from LA and constantly on the lookout for legit tacos. I drove by this place a few times taking my kids to the play area next door, so I finally decided to try it. I'm so glad I did! The tacos were fantastic - nice, simple tacos you'd expect from any great taco truck in LA. You get three per order and it's $1 extra to do different types of tacos. I got the steak, al pastor and beef tongue tacos. All were great! I also got a side of the rice and beans, which did not disappoint. I'll definitely be coming back here! read more

Taqueria Oaxaca - Al Pastor Burrito - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Small little restaurant on a very busy crowded block, parking is going to suck but maybe you will get lucky. I ordered my food to go and it was done pretty quickly. The workers were nice too and bi-lingual. Grilled chicken tacos, steak tacos and all cheese quesadillas which are a pretty big size. They all come with three each so its a lot and you can share! I also got guacamole which comes with nachos and it was really good, a tad spicy but def. good. I am happy to find a place closer to home also because I felt all the good authentic tacos were on the north shore so I will be keeping there menu for future orders. Cash ONLY business and there is no ATM inside so go across the street to the corner deli - $2 surcharge. read more

Great place! Little small & close.. huge TV to keep eaters entertained.. while eating or waiting.. small kitchen packing a lot of traditional food & flavors.. shrimp or fish isn't much on the menu (might wanna consider).. I was craving for shrimp tacos.. but it was offered.. the next guest also wanted some grills fish.. no luck. Don't get me wrong! The Beef Tacos were great! I'm so used to small portions.. ordered the Chicken. Didn't have space to eat that.. had to take it to go! The portions are Great.. for the price it's perfect! The staff is so friendly! Oh yea don't forget.. it's CASH ONLY. But it didn't stop me, ATM across the street at the deli ($2.00 fee). Keep it up guys! Will come again if I'm in Tottenville! read more

Best authentic taco place on the south shore. Keep in mind that since it's authentic, some things are not the Americanized version you might be used to, for example, the quesadillas are done traditionally, and not that flat version that you'd get at American eateries. Speaking of which, their tacos, platters, and quesadillas are sooooo good. You won't regret ordering! read more

This place serves up some really tasty Mexican food deep in Tottenville, on the very end of Staten Island just before Jersey. Their rice and beans are spot on, and the meats and cheeses are very tasty. The burrito is filling, and their platters have good portions. Just be aware this place is cash only. I would also recommend eating in here or picking up from them rather than delivery. The food tastes fresher that way. read more

Ever since I visited AZ I've missed authentic Mexican food, little did I know this gem was so close! Great food and large portions. read more

Great authentic Mexican spot on the south shore. Tried the al pastor tacos, bistec, and carnitas. All were good. But the al pastor were the best, spicy pork with pineapple. More of a takeout spot they have seating for about 15-20. We sat down and ate. The ambiance is not the best, but if you want some delicious authentic Mexican food. Only negative it's CASH ONLY. read more

Although the food is terrific, I am so dissatisfied with the service I am giving a low rating. I've ordered 5x since moving to the area on 12/1/16 and all 5 times had my food delivered by a man and was able to pay with a credit card. Tonight I called and was treated very poorly by both the girl answering the phone taking orders AND by the owner who told me I must have been calling her restaurant by mistake because 1) they don't accept credit cards and 2) they dont make deliveries to my home. LOL I'm not crazy but maybe she needs to check with her staff since no-one is on the same page about rules. Now, had la duena not been so aggressive I might have packed up my newborn child to drive 10 minutes to pick up my food and pay by credit card but since she was sarcastic and condescending to me on the phone, she has just lost a customer. read more

Long story short I walked into this restaurant tonight got the dirtiest look from the waitress as if they were about to close and I just ruined it because now she has to serve us. I asked if they were open and she said yes then I asked if they take credit she said no so no problem my daughter and I proceed to sit down look at their menu to decide what we want... we sat there for about five minutes meanwhile the whole time she's on the phone talking to someone not once did she acknowledge us or ask us if we needed anything...so we decided since she had an attitude when we walked in we were going To leave and when I turned around...there was a nice gentleman sitting down eating and he turned and looked at me and said I'm sorry...and I said it's OK and thank you n i said I guess she doesn't want our service and I left. read more

This is right down the block from the house and it never fails to be a decent dinner. When in doubt we hit this place. The people are very friendly and the dishes are portioned nicely. Not really a dine in place although it's got about 6or 7?small tables. At times the food could be a tad bland but it never disappoints. We've eaten here a dozen or so times and we will continue to do so. read more

I was really excited to try some Mexican food in Tottenville and unfortunately never got to. This review is not based on their food, but more so on their customer service. I ordered food and called 3 times within a 2 hour time frame. I live two blocks away and assumed that delivery would be quick. At the time being I was unable to pick up the food and would have, but relied on their delivery. All 3 phone calls they asked me what I ordered and said 20 more minutes for the food. Unfortunately, the food never showed and after 2 hours I called to tell them to cancel it. I really wanted to try this place out and hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

Best Mexican food in Staten Island.. and the staff looks family owned which is great cuz I felt like I was at my house... we ordered $40 worth of food and it was so worth it I had to take some home with me... they definitely going to see my face this year read more

I feel bad for whomever owns this business the food is decent but the workers are very rude I don't feel welcomed there at all I get stared down no hello no goodbye. I went a few times in the past two weeks and I always say thank you and not once have I heard you're welcome. Today I asked for extra tomatillo sauce because they only fill them up half way anyway and she charged me for it which is fine but didn't let me know because every other time I asked for extra I never got charged nor did she even let me know just handed me my change and showed her back to me. I'm almost positive they don't like white people which is odd because they're in tottenville of all places lol read more

The food here is excellent. The flavored water was also really good. I ate in the restaurant, dont know if I would do delivery. Their prices are reasonable. I would definately eat here again. read more
