Like DVDs, tortillas are round, highly entertaining, and absolutely incomprehensible in their deliciousness. Savor the mysteries of the universe with today's Groupon: for $5, you get three tacos or three enchiladas at Oaxaca (up to a $12.75 value). Oaxaca's multiple locations, speedy service, and dedication to using organic and local ingredients whenever possible make it an example of a tacomongery par excellence. Furnish tortilla or taco interiors with a selection of carne asada, pollo guisado, carnitas, frijoles, shrimp, or fish, and grace the mouth's dance floor with garnishes such as pickled onion, cilantro, cheese, homemade salsa, and avocado, while enchiladas don a salsa, onion, sour cream, and guacamole ensemble.
Reviews
The New York Times, Time Out New York, and New York magazine rave about Oaxaca's tasty dishes. Yelpers give the Oaxaca on Smith Street and Fourth Avenue an average of 3.5 stars.
- Overstuffed tacos—like the moist mahi-mahi or braised carnitas—come piled with more cilantro and peppy housemade salsas, while a flurry of cotija cheese tops slender enchiladas, filled with a choice of proteins (steak, shrimp, pork or chicken). – Time Out New York
- The tacos are to die for. You will not eat just one. Had the kimchee [sic] special, then went back for the potato special…Beautiful execution, presentation, and service! – B J., Yelp
