NUESTRAS ESPECIALIDADES
Made by Hand. Every Order.
Everything starts with masa and fire. The tortillas are pressed fresh. The quesabirria is slow-braised. The Oaxaca cheese is the real thing.
Quesabirria with Consomme
Brisket and short rib birria. Oaxaca cheese melted into handmade corn tortillas. A cup of deep, rich consomme for dipping. This is the dish you'll be telling your friends about tomorrow.

From Oaxaca
to Jersey City Heights.
This food wasn't invented on a spreadsheet.
Oaxaca, the state in southern Mexico known as "la tierra de los siete moles" — the land of seven moles — is where this food comes from. Handmade tortillas. Oaxaca string cheese. Meats slow-braised until they fall apart.
My Lil Oaxaca brings that tradition to Central Avenue and Palisade Avenue, two of the busiest streets in The Heights. Seven days worth of cooking in a Jersey City food truck window.
"A taco a day is the key to joy."
— an old Mexican saying, but we live by it.

"High quality and friendly. The quesabirria is unreal — the consomme on the side makes it. Came back twice in one week."

"The shrimp tacos are my go-to. Fresh tortillas every time — you can taste the difference. Real Oaxacan food in JC is hard to find, they nailed it."

"Ordered for a birthday — tortas, birria, quesadillas. Everyone wanted the recipe. The cheese is REAL Oaxaca cheese, not mozzarella."
