Oaxaca Taqueria on Prospect by Franklin?

and, according to Groupon, it is also closed:

I purchased their Groupon last weekend, but here is the email I got tonight:

Thank you for purchasing the Oaxaca Taqueria Groupon.

Unfortunately, the Prospect Heights location has closed. However, you may still redeem your Groupon at any of the other 3 locations. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I checked further to be sure that by Prospect Heights they meant this location, and they did.

Damn, we're in restaurant heaven. There goes Crown Heights reputation for murder and mayhem. Can we somehow keep it from becoming Park Slope Light?

Lol, you would love that.

PH/CH is definitely an awesome food neighborhood. Cheap too. Def miss it

I have eaten at all the Oaxaca locations and after a small learning curve I know what to add or omit from my order to get what I want. The main and very big difference between Chavella is they cook the food on site. The par cooking formula at Oaxaca is not my favorite. The word of mouth way they went about introducing the Crown Heights location was bound to take a long time to establish a following. They should have had 1 or 2 dollar beers with a meal purchase in order to fill the really cool little dining room they have. The windows and simplicity are a welcome change...Chavella's new locations has got some built-in charm w tin ceilings and as much iron and wood as could be used practically. The big difference is beer,liquor but primarily the kitchen..even if you don't like the recipe..it's made on site and to order at Chavella's. Bizarre should be the new name for Bristen's a part-time limited menu Chinese cafe with strange hours that remind me of and eastern bloc government office ..and then in order top be the jack of no trade they continue the brunch..with supplimental things..because nobody that not really stones or drunk eats dumpling for breakfast. What a waste of a cool little outdoor space that has summer afternoon beer written all over it

Sorry, it looks like it will be yet another taco spot.

Hopefully this one will have its act together more.

It is a dumb name to pick, especially if you are going to depend on a nearby, former hospital complex that seems to house a lot of highly educated people who have access to the internet.

I think I would have named it something to do with the food being served, as opposed to something to do with those who might (or might not....) eat there.

Mine either.

...you'd think the new owners would know that the term had several meanings, and choose one that has less baggage.

Is it too much to ask new proprietors to google a name in advance of choosing it?

....mind you, the name doesn't really offend me and I'll eat just about anywhere that has a good taco, I just question choosing a name that may offend others.

I also do not think it wise to compete with Chavellas.

smokin joe has it right, there are lots of other words that people use that said with a smile mean something completely different. To be even clearer the took an L out of the name of the new place.

Gueros is opening in the old Oaxaca space. They did a sweet remodel and added some sizable benches that may be a nice place to sit if you are waiting for food. The place looks done, I didn't ask what the delay was about. The new ownwers run the Dramshop and Angry Wades so they probably have lots of the kinks worked out.

I am wondering what the bldg dept problem was that Oaxaca had w the space.

Guero is a common northern-Mexican last name, idiots. Talk to the proprietor before you soapbox it.

We acknowledged that there's more than one meaning, so why don't you GFY with your name-calling indignation?

saw the doors open and asked the guy when he is opening. Tuesday is the grand opening.!!
