Taquería Oaxaqueña de la Gueleguetza

I read many nice things about this place and since It has been on my want to go list ...I Went there for the first time today. Guys I have to tell you my experience was awesome!! It's a small little spot attached to the Chevron. Has about 3-4 booths and a salsa bar. A nice tv to watch while you wait. The young lady that took my order was very nice. I got a few things.. not knowing the tlayuda with chicken was HUGE! I also got 2 steak tacos(supreme) and a torta with marinated pork ...comes with fries. I only waited about 15-20 minutes. Everything tasted fresh and delicious . Each item was seasoned perfectly. Only drawback was they left my sour cream off my supreme tacos😫 but since I had some @ home... I'll forgive them this time 😅😊 Give your taste buds a treat and check a look!! You won't be disappointed!!

AMAZING! I had a taste of home at this small joint. Their orange salsa is awesome. Horchata was huge ! I wish they were open most days! Don't let the size of their establishment fool you. worth it

It was like being back in Oaxaca minus the beautiful architecture and amazing art. Had the tlayuda and cannot wait to go back to try other menu items - but I hadn’t had a tlayuda since I was last in Oaxaca so had to have it. Crispy tortilla base, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, fried jalapeños, avocado slices, Oaxacan string cheese, radishes. It was amazing.

Tiny spot (5 booths and 2 high chairs) and amazing Tlayudas

Food was good, though they didn’t make my tripa crispy, as I requested. Very good salsa bar and the lady who took my order was super nice. I think I just ordered the wrong thing. I will definitely go back to try other items like the tlayuda. I saw one come out for someone else and immediately wished I had ordered one. Looked incredible. Super tight spot, makes it awkward to wait for takeout. There are a few booths/ tables but probably would be best to plan on takeout during peak times. No bathroom, probably not a good place for kids

Delicious food, fun tlayudas, and lots of options on the menu! Helpful bilingual service. Hours are unusual and haven't been updated consistently over the last couple years, so that's the one thing that prevents it from being five stars. But if you can go when they're open, you are in for a treat!

Best absolutely without a doubt, Hispanic food this side of the border! I cannot recommend this enough, having lived right on said border, I'm always looking for that authentic taste and variety of flavors. This little gem has it all, awesome in every way, try it, you'll never want to go anywhere else. The staff is also very kind and this restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. And no, it's not a gas station restaurant, it's a real restaurant on its own. Highly recommend 👌 👌👌

Absolutely love the food here and the service is great. The food is always fresh very good. Our favorite spot. Only issue is there is no Baño I have to wash my hands with soap and water

Food is very delicious, I really like that the menudo and caldo de res it was not greasy. Kind service and good environment.

Small location with only 5 booths for dining in. Service and food were great. The salsa "fixin's" bar is perfect. I consider this a hidden gem for some authentic food!

The food is good. I had great service and trust me. It was more than enough to eat if I couldn't eat it all and I'm a big big man.

This place is a hole in the wall for sure. You are greeted by the most sweetest lady in the world, and the food is super authentic. My boyfriend and I dined here on cinco de mayo and ordered chicken fajitas, steak tacos, and queso! I fell in love with this place, highly recommend!!

The food was delicious! Salsas we're perfect amount of spicy! I want more! Service was good. You

Places like this are the reason I can't eat at most neighborhood Mexican restaurants. The food is very good at this little next to the gas station spot. I'm going to let the picture speak for me.

I got a verde pollo tamale, and three tacos carnita, lengua, and barbacoa. It was all amazing! The tortillas are fresh and seem to be handmade. The salsas are exceptional and service was polite and prompt. A true gem!

I have not written a review for this spot as I am selfish and wanted to keep it a secret. It is one of the only places in Atlanta where you can get a Tlayuda -- which is a large crunchy fried tortilla, spread with beans, meat, avocado, tomato and a bunch of other delicious things. The Tlayuda alone is worth the visit. However, I have come on different occasions and tried their tacos, sopes, gorditas and soup- all excellent. The service is fast and the food is delicious. The place is very small and you will see a line on weekends. The hours vary so I'd avoid getting there right at opening or closing. It's connected to a gas station but don't let that deter you- best food ever

It's been a challenge but I finally made my way to this taqueria. I kept it real simple with my order and got 3 tacos and a cup of horchata. I wouldn't describe my food mind-blowing or anything along those lines. The food was very simple. I would have liked to see more of everything inside of the tacos though. They gave me a light amount of everything. The salsa bar did have various options though to choose from. The horchata servings are extremely generous and worth a try.

Have only had their tlayudas but they are amazing. Got the pastor and asada ones and they were well worth the pric Update: have since tried their huaraches. They are massive for the price and delicious but I think still prefer the tlayudas

Note that this review has nothing to do with the quality of the food, which i am told is phenomenal. I drove half an hour to try the apparently phenomenal tlayudas. Showed up at 3:10. Business hours on the door say they're open til 4. There's two guys sitting inside eating the very mouthwatering dish that I'm craving. I try the door. Locked. The guys, five feet away, ignore me. I knock on the glass. One guy looks at me and makes the "cut" hand motion to say they're closed. I point to the sign and hold up four fingers. He just gives me a blank stare. I walk away. I'm definitely coming back, and I'll revise my review accordingly then. But the owners of this apparently otherwise stellar restaurant need to understand that best practices apply to small businesses just as much as they apply to any business, and that not honoring their own advertised hours is a genuine disservice to their customers, just as much as serving bad food or cheating customers on prices.

The tlayuda was amazing. Best I've had since I used to visit Oaxaca frequently. Can't wait to try the other menu items. Why not at another 20lbs on top of the COVID 19 (lbs). I love sopes and huaraches too so can't wait to go back and try those.

The place is tiny and the hours mysterious, but the food is good and the staff is friendly. There aren't many places to get tlayudas around here, but they have them and they do a good job with them. It's my favorite thing to get from the taqueria. The salsa bar is simple, but the offering are, like everything else, good. The place is very clean and tidy. I will have to try the huaraches next.

This gem of a taqueria was unknown to me before last month, when an Arizona transplant told me about it and how great their Tlayudas were. I'd never had one, so I put it down as place to try out. A Tlayuda is handmade dish part of traditional Mexican cuisine, consisting of a large and thin crunchy partially fried or toasted tortilla[covered with a spread of lettuce or cabbage, avocado, meat (usually shredded chicken, beef tenderloin or pork), and Oaxaca cheese. I took my friend there. We pulled up, and he said, "It's a gas station!" I laughed, and we ventured inside where there were about five tables and a little condiment bar. Alfredo, one of the owners, introduced himself and asked what we'd like. I asked him to recommend their specialty, and he described the Tlayuda. We chose the pork, which Alfredo had prepped with a pineapple marinade. The 12" Tlayuda came out to our table with the freshest of ingredients, and though it was good by itself, we sampled the homemade sauces from the condiment bar, which included two salsas, one guacamole, and a spicy peanut sauce. Some people order one for themselves; others like us will split it between two or more people. We also had a chicken and a pork tamale to share, and they were superb. It was so good that we brought our friends back with us the following day for lunch, and they decided this would be added to our regular list of local haunts.

First timer!!! Extremely happy with food and service!! TLAYUDAS is EVERYTHING!! Barbacoa and salsas were amazing!! Run there immediately and try it all!

Attention to detail in all dishes. Very traditional food from the specific region (Oaxaquena) of Mexico. Very simple setting. Very clean, a bit crowded. The food is superbly simple yet not at all plain. The pricing is better than reasonable given the ingredients and care. The ingredients and care of preparation do all of the talking. If you are new to this place, Start with a simple presentation of the meat preparations, a plate full of tacos with the various meets. An important part of this place is the salsa bar into which goes detailed and loving preparation. You get the real salsa's and salads and compotes that people from Oaxaquena expect to see at a celebration of food. After eating there for several years now, the thing that still stands out for me is the Tlayudas. These manage to mix many fresh toppings with beautifully prepared slow cooked meats for a tremendously satisfying combination. The whole thing is built on top of a crispy tortilla base that is perfect every time. Jalapenos are grilled to perfection by hand and the stringy Mexican farmers cheese is both sweet and briny. Everything here is wholesome and fresh. One of the owners (Alfredo) loves to come out and talk about his dishes, but only can do so during the occasional slow times during the week. This is beautifully prepared food from Oaxaquena where the owners have family roots. It is frankly far better than what most folks can honestly call "home cooking" but has the same integrity. It is not Mexican restaurant food but more like what people from Oaxaquena would take pains to prepare for a really important family occasion. All of the foods have a carry out option which is important because the place does fill up. It is also important that the place fills up specifically with Mexican from Oaxaquena, who swear that this is like the food of their family celebrations back home. This place has come to mean a lot to me and my family. It is a home away from home where I can trust great cooks to feed my kids great food

Fantastic, authentic Mexican food is served here. You shouldn't normally have great expectations for a restaurant that's attached to a gas station. In this case, you're eating some of the best Mexican food in Atlanta. The salsa bar is first rate, though the only containers are 1-ounce plastic cups. If you're a gringo you won't need much. For tacos--cabeza(beef cheek) is my favorite. All of the meats are tasty, so the tortas are a good way to go as well. The house specialty tlayudas are not to be missed. I tried the goat barbacoa and was not disappointed. The best dish I've tried is the gordita de chicharron. The rich pork skin and deep spiciness make a sublime combination. So...it shares a building with a Chevron station. There are only five tables. It's often not open during posted hours. There's a chance some menu items may be out of stock. I really don't care. This is authentic food on an almost homemade quality level. I will be coming back for more.

Total dive, probably the smallest restaurant I've ever been to, waitress was nice, but she was pre-occupied with playing with her i-phone. Nonetheless, the steak tlayuda was excellent, and the mole chicken tamales were really good too. Overall, this does not compare to Ouaxacena down near the airport (the menu here is probably a bit more limited, and the ambiance is not the same), but it's good to know that we've got a good tlayuda place in the Tucker area.

Best tlayudas in town. However the correct telephone number should be listed to find out when they are actually open. (770) 940 2284.

The tlayudas are criminally delicious. The perfect meld of pizza and autentico Mexican food. I'm salivating a bit just thinking of them. The stringy Oaxacan cheese is delectable. We order extra sliced avocado on ours because more avocado is something that makes delicious Mexican food even better. Don't miss the horchata. The rice-milky cinnamon goodness is on point here. The taquitos are a supremely good rendition as well. Not to mention the mole, which I think is only available on Sunday. It is worth waiting from a Monday for. Just try not to spill it all over khaki shorts as I once did...

The Tlayudas are wonderful, just wonderful. The tacos are good, but pale compared to the tlayudas. Same thing for the tamales, good, but not the best thing on the menu. The chicken soup was decent, but I've had better. The place is tiny, but very clean and neatly decorated and the service is good. Sometimes they are not open when their sign says they should be, but the tlayudas are just wonderful. Can't say that enough.

Authentic Oaxaca cuisine including Tlayudas. The restaurant is located on the north side of a Chevron gas station. Somewhat odd location, but typically Tucker as it is fairly common to find gems like this attached to gas stations or somewhat dated strip malls. Always great food and good service.

Excellent food but is never open. We drive from Snellville at least once a week to see if they are open. The previous owner was consistent with hours and food but now its touch and go. Don't get me wrong, we will still try due to the great food but come on!! You have to be open sometime.
