Food is really good, fresh and delicious. If you’re a net eater I’ll love beef barbacoa! Guacamole made fresh!

I came by the location for lunch, and I was excited to be there when they were open. Got two different tamales and almost got a taco. Turns out the two delicious tamales were plenty. Really fast service as they were ready when I ordered. Salsas they were served with were perfect. Melon Agua Fresca was fantastic! I’m looking forward to coming back again and would definitely recommend this spot for lunch.

Don’t let the small menu fool you. The focus is clearly on what they do best. Great for takeout or dinning in with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Walkable from Jack London Square with enough nearby parking and live music. Probably better parking during the day than at night when the area is busier. If you’re looking for Vegan/Vegetarian or Gluten free options they have it, but it’s not ideal. Otherwise, this place is super clean and friendly with delicious tacos and empanadas.

Excellent Mexican food in Swan Market. We ordered the empanadas, tacos, and coconut horchata. My favorite was the taco pescado, but everything was flavorful, cooked well, and had layers of flavor throughout the meat, salsa, and slaws. Would highly recommend!

One of our (few) go-to’s. We usually come for the weekend chilaquiles – they are delicious. Everything is made with so much love and attention. It feels like eating at your abuelita’s house. Highly recommend. You won’t regret it!

My family and I went to Swan’s Mkt to check it out. Decided to do lunch. There were a number of choices. I chose La Guerra’s.

Amazing tamales in such a cute location. A few tables set up for outdoor dining with a parking lot right next to the storefront, making this a very accessible food stop in downtown Oakland. They were out of the mole tamales the day we went, but we thoroughly enjoyed the vegetable tamale, chicken verde tamale, and vegetable empanadas. Happy to see gluten free and vegan menu options!

Love Love Love Love This place. There is no wrong choice. The mole is to die for. the Chicken Enmoladas were slammin’. I love SWAN’s depot and this really seals the deal. Enjoy a fun and delicious day in downtown Oakland.
