    Ropa vieja from Clandestina. Comes with beans, plantains, rice and a salad.
    Miriam L.

    A little piece of the island with so much heart and an unmatched "sazón". We went on a rainy day and the special was ajiaco, a soup filled with chicken, potatoes and yuca and it's the kind of soup that gives you a hug and takes you back home. We then tried the Cuban, which even though it is of American origin (look for the article on Clandestina in the SF Chronicle) and it was like no other one we've had, the pork is perfect. A few days later we saw their pop-up at Berkeley Bowl and ordered the "ropa vieja" a Cuban specialty of shredded beef that came with beans, rice and plantains. So rich and flavorful. Just perfect. The owner is so nice and community-oriented and really elevates the Cuban presence in the Bay Area. The 14th street Eatery is a lovely space, with lots of tables and huge mural honoring the community and just good vibes. Go try out their food in San Leandro and now also every other Sunday in Berkeley Bowl West. --------- Un pedacito de la isla con mucho corazón y un sazón inigualable. Sabor casero que viene directo de Cuba. Clandestina definitivamente es un restaurante cubano que debes probar en la Bahía.

    If I could give this 10 stars I would. My meal here today was truly one of the best meals I've had in the last few years. The combination of flavors was so exiting and delicious. The loaded yuca fries are my favorite! The Cuban sandwich is excellent and LOADED with meat. The flan is so smooth! I can't wait to go back and try the bowls. The owner was working and she is a literal angel. The dining area is cute, cozy, and super clean. It's housed in a E15th Eatery Kitchen so there are 2 other vendors in there too which is super fun.

    Wow! The Cuban sandwich blew me away. Piled high with delicious lechon, it was a feast! Had a side of yuca fries and the limeade. Highly recommend !!

    This is a one woman shop that sells delicious Cuban favorites! Came in on a Saturday at 3pm and the food hall was pretty empty. The owner warmly greeted us and provided great service. The food took a little longer (20-25 min) but it was worth the wait! Everything was tasty and had great flavor. My favorite was the loaded yuca fries while my partner loved the rice & beans combo. Definitely recommend and will come back again.

    Dumpling King is at the Bay Fair Farmers Market every Saturday. The few food vendors are clustered…read moretogether near the main building. No special decor. Just hanging signs & banners showing what edibles available & pricing. 3.5% credit card fee avoided by paying $. Female associate spoke English & a hint of Mandarin when I spoke Chinese. Lines are informal. Just ask a person standing around to see if they are in line. Repeat until u r the only person standing in front of the order station. Offerings (Chinese): Dim Sum, Pancakes. Potstickers, Steamed Buns. Many choices within each bracket. All ready to go, cooked, ready to eat. Bites: Shrimp Har Gow/Pork Siu Mai (6/$10) mixed as only 4 Shrimp Har Gow available -size smaller than ones in Brick & Mortar stores. Each looked similar as if machine made. -steamed hot, ready to eat. Got Chili Sauce which wasn't extra spicy. Something added to tame hotness. -Shrimp Har Gow tasted slightly sweet from a mix of shrimp parts. Didn't have a crunchy sensation. This & Pork Siu Mai tasted freshly made. -Pork Siu Mai was all ground pork that was steamed. Maybe some green onions, soy sauce added. Definitely no shrimp like the B & M version. Quick, courteous, efficient service. Some tables for seating available at entrance of Farmers Market. 4 stars Worthy:YMMV Quantity: ok. Smaller pieces than usual. Quality: abbreviated version, still ok.

    We got the combination of shu mai and shrimp dumplings (3 pieces each), one scallion pancake, and…read morethe chive pancake. They ran out of scallion pancakes but offered to sell me a scallion and chive pancake for $10 (which was not a deal and they should have accounted for changing my desired order). The dumplings were decent but we don't think better than a dim sum place. However, they did not taste frozen and were fresh. The scallion pancake was a little too cooked -- it was crunchy but not moist on the inside. The chive pancake was delicious -- like one giant dumpling with chives, glass noodles, and tofu pieces. The outside of the chive pancake could have been crispier. Overall, the food was good, though a little pricy for a food stand, at $21 for everything. If you pay card, they ask for a tip option.

After a couple of hours sight seeing, we took a wrong turn and ended up in this town and stumbled onto this beauty. It's like a new generation of Thai food for us. Not at all what we're used to or have ever tasted. It was great! A very intimate, joyous fellowship broke out with great friends and an even better atmosphere. Seating is outdoors only and you're surrounded by flowers and the very vegetables we were about to eat. Very surreal! I believe it's the first time I've ordered food and they literally grew it outside the eatery. It was all delicious and I highly recommend you get lost and stumble into them, yourself. I love this place!

Finally made it and they only do take out and cater to just make the food rather than providing at all any public service. No one greets you or offers assistance especially with how the online menu you would order on at this location. Even after waiting and calling out to the people preparing the food for help I still did not get what I ordered completely I was missing the blue rice which would have kept a star up but because I was denied what I asked what was pictured and even paid more since there was a lunch special and told if you want what is pictured on the menu order the dinner item Their online menu isn't updated so don't look at their website Their other locations are way better than this spot which is an express only with rude employees I definitely suggest the other locations in Oakland and Palo Alto Beautiful areas with great customer service and they present their food instead of getting missing items over priced take out only. I will say the food was still delicious and I ate everything but with the blue rice that extra star would be there Expect No help To go only And missing items with the miss communication of rude service The reason stars fell off on my end The 2 stars I did give was just for the food still being delicious but that missing rice made it seem not amazing as the sit down locations aside from here And the other star was for it being close by to me so convenient I would had told all my family and friends but I will tell them to never go here unless you just want the food ok but check the items before leaving Go to their other locations the food and service is far way better than here
