La Oaxaqueña is a gem nestled in South Salt Lake, renowned for its authentic Oaxacan cuisine. The restaurant, located at 1460 S State St, offers a vibrant menu highlighted by their legendary tlayudas and pupusas. Diners rave about the generous portions, with one customer noting that the tlayuda is as substantial as a medium pizza, making it a satisfying choice for any appetite.

Vegetarian options are thoughtfully included, allowing everyone to indulge in the rich flavors of Oaxaca. Customers like Kadie Robinson have praised the carne asada, describing it as the best they’ve ever tasted. Meanwhile, Jon Burkholz and Josue Gomez C. emphasize the genuine experience of enjoying these traditional dishes, likening the tlayudas to what one would find in Juchitán.

Bob Cook's review highlights the freshness of the ingredients, particularly the curtido accompanying the pupusas, which further elevates the dining experience. For lovers of Oaxacan cuisine or anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors, La Oaxaqueña stands out as a must-visit spot, promising not only great food but also cherished memories with every bite.

This place was fantastic, the Tlayuda was as big as a medium pizza and the pupusas were some of the best I've tried. I love that the pupusas had so many options and the curtido was fresh and delicious. Will be coming back soon

Best tlayudas in SLC area. Love the originally ingredients and way to make it taste like you are in Juchitan enjoying a tlayuda.

The most delicious food and the staff are so kind and welcoming! I've been meaning to stop by since I drove by and saw the sign out front and finally did and couldn't be happier. I've never found such an authentic Oaxacan restaurant outside of Mexico. This place is definitely worth a visit. I will absolutely be coming back

This is great Mexican restaurant! The food is good. I come here often at least 3 times a month. Also they do take a while to bring your food but is worth the wait!
