$5 Venison Tacos and $4 Chapulines at La Oaxaqueña

La Oaxaqueña is like some secret spot that you think you imagined passing by on the bus and you’re fairly certain won’t exist if you were to go back.  Especially since it’s located in San Francisco. Mexican-wise, the population in the city is mostly Yucateco, with a smattering of Chilangos
