Fantastic food. Fresh & tasty. Substantial portions. If it’s good enough for Michelin it’s good enough for me! Will definitely go again when I’m visiting the area.

Absolutely delicious! I loved the vibe and the indoor/outdoor type patio they have is refreshing. We got an orange wine which was great and pork and veggie tacos which were so juicy and fresh.

Been meaning to come for years and it didn’t disappoint!! Quick service, very cute front and back patio. I was a little nervous about paying $5-6 per taco, but they were hearty and two filled me up. Such delicious and creative flavors!! Mole, barbacoa, pepitas, & more

This is a super popular place in the area, so when I saw no line (which I think is rare), I was super excited to try it. They had 6 tacos on the menu – 2 meat, 1 vegetarian, and 3 vegan. I got the chicken (left) and pork (right). The chicken was flavorful and juicy and the pork was mediocre. For all the hype this place has, and the price ($5.50 for the chicken and $5 for the pork) I was disappointed. Also, for a slow day where there were a total of 3 customers, service was pretty poor. I probably wouldn’t come again unless I was with a vegan friend. Also, FYI all the seating is outdoors, so don’t come on a rainy day 🙂

Possibly some of the best vegan tacos I’ve ever had. Must have the Mushroom Mole Coloradito Taco . They have both vegan and meat options. Fun ambience as well.

This place is recommended in the Michelin guide. It is good but not 5 DLLS a taco good. It’s too expensive and you can find similar tasting tacos (if not better) in the area for less. Glad I went but won’t me coming back.

It was late and we were hungry. $5 tacos? Extra for salsa? I wanted to be disappointed to justify my sticker shock.

Order at the window and wait at a table. Nights can be a long wait, but came faster than the alleged 35min wait.

The best tacos in Oakland, no discussion. Vegan and meat options are both great. The salsas, oh my god! I’m Mexican and even though these are not your traditional street tacos, they are truly a work of art.

Top notch tacos and friendly service. Highly recommend a stop here! Food is delicious with some rather unique offerings like egg or broccoli tacos, with all being well executed. A hair on the pricy side but given the food well worth it. Will be back!
