The complimentary chips and salsa arrived shortly after we were seated. The chips were thin, crisp and fresh. The salsa was flavorful. We should have stopped there. I ordered chicken fajitas. The chicken was flavorless and as dry as cardboard. The onions and peppers could have been grilled a bit more. The black beans were cold, as was the rice. We had asked for a refill on the salsa that would have helped, but it never arrived. The other person ordered tacos. One was a cold pork-like paste and the other was similarly unseated chicken. To their credit, they took the tacos off the bill, but we left unsatisfied in every respect. Uncle Julio’s and Guapos are nearby. There is absolutely no reason to go to Casa Oaxaca.

Terrific margaritas and really good food, festive atmosphere! Only concern on this visit was that it was a little windy and there was a plastic curtain blowing around that we feared would hit a patron.

A very warm and welcoming atmosphere, and so colorful. We loved the outdoor seating arrangements, accommodating our party of 7, including kids. Our server was very friendly and attentive. My husband and I really appreciated that we were seated at our reserved table a few minutes before my son and family arrived, and served our drinks and chips and salsa while we waited. Food was delicious. It all made for a wonderful evening out with the family.

Service was subpar. We were willing to spend more money however the waiters were few far and in between. There was at a minimum a wait of about 30-40 minutes each, before we were asked if we wanted anything else. Finally after never receiving a food item we asked for about 45 minutes later, we decided to call it a night. So unfortunate as we are patrons that enjoy spending money and tipping very well. All we ask for is consistent customer service and intentional hospitality. We will not return. Thank you

If you are really looking for Mexican taste, do not come here. Casa Oaxaca sells Central American food with Mexican names. If you decide to name your restaurant with one of the most traditional states in Mexico, the least you can do it is offer authentic Mexican dishes. Just because you name your dishes over Mexican favorites recipes, it doesn’t mean you are cooking and selling Mexican food. Mexican food was maned cultural heritage of humanity because its flavor and authenticity, some recipes have hundreds of years and they deserve some respect.

Worst Mexican food in memory. Chicken tacos served as follows: small amount of dried out diced grilled chicken squares on tough dry corn tortilla with a few pieces of diced grilled onions. No cheese, no sliced lettuce, no tomatoes, no cilantro. Flavorless. Absolutely dreadful. Waitress cleaned table beside us with stinky disinfectant that made our dinner smell like it was being served in a bathroom. Wanted to gag. Waitstaff was very attentive and nice. But overall a terrible experience. And I never do these ratings so that should tell you something. Too many other good superior choices.
