" Cocina Oaxaquena has become my go-to for Mexican food in the area! The quality of ingredients is evident in every dish I've tried. I especially love their shrimp tacos; they are bursting with freshness. The varied sauces they provide elevate the dining experience, making each bite a new adventure. I’ve visited multiple times and each experience has been consistently positive. It's refreshing to find a place that values authentic food over the typical fast-food approach many competitors adopt. Just be prepared to savor the flavors because service can sometimes lag a bit when they are busy - but it’s worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a huge fan of Mexican cuisine, and Cocina Oaxaquena is one of the best I’ve found outside of Mexico. Their offering of fresh waters adds a refreshing touch to the meal that I always look forward to. During my recent visit, I had the flautas, which were delicious yet could have used a touch more flavor. The vibrant ambiance makes dining here enjoyable, even if the service could use a bit of polish. Regardless, this place is dedicated to providing authentic dishes that are delightful overall!

" Cocina Oaxaquena is a delightful find for authentic Oaxacan food. I was particularly impressed by the quesadillas stuffed with delicious ingredients, including their homemade cheese! The one downside I noticed was that it could take a little while to receive our drinks; however, it wasn’t a deal-breaker. The lovely Latin music and vibrant decor made our experience feel festive. A heartfelt recommendation for anyone looking for genuine Oaxacan flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" When it comes to authentic Mexican cuisine, Cocina Oaxaquena truly excels. I’ve eaten at various establishments, but this one really captures the essence of Oaxacan cooking with its well-crafted dishes and delightful use of spices. The tlayuda was incredible, and it reminded me of street food back in Oaxaca. The service was friendly but a bit scatterbrained on the day we visited, which seemed to be a little chaotic. Nonetheless, it didn't detract much from the overall experience. I appreciate how genuine the flavors are here, and I will be spreading the word to my friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

I appreciate the cozy atmosphere and genuinely friendly staff. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
