Came here with some friends early on a Sunday morning for some menudo and barbacoa, which were delicious. The tortillas are my favorite part honestly! The owner is so nice and attentive. My friends used to get food from her when she was operating out of her backyard, so glad she has a brick and mortar. I will try my best to come out to Oakland more often!

Today we had the weekend barbacoa and two types of gorditas. A couple weeks ago we also had super nachos with pastor. Man! So flavorful with yummy tender fresh tortillas. Generous portions and everything tastes so very fresh. The pastor is the most tender I’ve ever had in the bay area. You can add rice and beans to any dish and the beans have a nice, lightly smoked flavor. When you walk in, the vibe is so welcoming and approaching. Wonderful spot! We’ll definitely be back.

The owner/chef Cecilia prepared a group lunch order for 15 people that was absolutely delicious and ready on time. We emailed her our lunch choices and she marked each burrito with the person’s name. It made the process of food distribution so easy during our meal. And the food … it was simply sublime. I am definitely going back to Mi Zacatecas. You won’t beat those burritos!
