Tacos Oaxaca

Tacos Oaxaca channels a Day of the Dead vibe in Fuquay-Varina, with papel picado, colorful statues, and a lively soundtrack animating the strip center dining room tucked between Planet Fitness and Food Lion. Settle in for full-service hospitality as servers keep aguas frescas, Mexican beers, and rotating cocktails flowing alongside baskets of warm chips and salsas.

The kitchen leans into Oaxacan tradition, shaving marinated pork off the trompo for al pastor tacos, confiting brisket for suadero, and folding chile-bathed birria into quesabirrias with rich consommé. Corn or flour tortillas cradle carne asada, chorizo, and seafood options like grilled salmon dressed with chipotle slaw, while larger plates span fajitas, alambres, and family-friendly combos.

Weekday happy hour runs 3–5 p.m., trimming taco prices and pairing them with drink specials, making it easy to sample the menu. A June 12, 2025 sanitation inspection awarded the restaurant an A with a 98 score, underscoring the team’s polish. With heartfelt service and bold flavors, this North Main Street gem keeps crowds returning for another taste of Oaxaca.
