Oaxaca Taqueria Now Open at 16 Extra Place
The sterile street mall off the Bowery that never was just gained a new fast food eating establishment. Oaxaca Taqueria opened a new franchise at 16 Extra Place yesterday afternoon. Down at the dead end. We walked by to pick up a menu and the place was empty. Save for a sandwich board outside the restaurant and a Twitter handle, you wouldn’t know it existed.

In any event, the interior very much resembles the bare-bones nature of Chipotle. And the menu channels that aesthetic as well. Nothing too fancy here, just some basic, run-of-the-mill Mexican food at modest price points. Lunch specials run Monday through Friday, 11 am – 3 pm, and cost under $7.
