Taquería El Primo
Taquería El Primo is a taquería in central Oaxaca City known for tacos of costilla (beef rib meat).
Overview
Oaxaca Travel Tips includes Taquería El Primo in the Centro section of its 2026 guide and recommends the costilla, rib meat cut from the bone and chopped for tacos. The guide adds that online comments also praise the tacos al pastor. The guide gives no street address, hours or founding date, so the business can be hard to locate from the guide alone.
Context
Oaxaca de Juárez has its own taco culture built on local ingredients such as tasajo (thin salted beef), cecina enchilada (chile-rubbed pork), chorizo, quesillo and chile de agua, served alongside the tlayudas and memelas the state is known for. Street carts are not allowed to operate in the city on Wednesdays, although the rule is often relaxed on holidays.
