"A Jonesboro institution, La Oaxaquena Taqueria continues to be the spot on the southside of Atlanta for a taste of Oaxaca, including the restaurant’s popular tlayuda — a pizza-like Oaxacan dish seeing a toasted tortilla topped with refried beans, cheese, meat, and lettuce. An entire section of the menu is dedicated to the mid-day meal offering dishes like chile relleno, a sope and tamal plate, and pollo asado marinated overnight and topped with grilled onions and jalapeños served with rice, refried beans, and fresh tortillas." - Beth McKibben, Caroline Eubanks
