    Had to get the famous breakfast burrito (bacon, would have gotten chorizo but I had a feeling it'd be too greasy). The cheese, potato bits, egg, and bacon are all cut up into a homogenous mass before put inside a soft tortilla. Me personally, I like my burrito innards heterogenous so I can target a bite here and there. The side salsa was not too hot but gave it the flavor it really needed. Overall, a satisfying burrito but for $16, I'd definitely recommend friends in the East Bay try Mezzo's breakfast burritos.

    Breakfast burrito
    Jessica K.

    I am on the hunt for MY perfect breakfast burrito. I just moved to Oakland about 6 months ago, and I had read an article that put Kelly's on a list of great ones. I work around the corner, so I figured I guess I better try it out. The customer service is lackluster. I've been to many places, where Spanish is their first language, but their customer service is still top notch. And, here. They're just they're to serve the food. And I get that. But, I also believe that if they kicked up that customer service, this place would be more memorable outside of a random HD. And obviously, it's outside of an HD, so depending on the day, parking can be wild. People can be wild. But it was fairly quiet on this Saturday mid morning. It took about 10 minutes, and thankfully it was a beautiful day. I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon, and it was tasty. And I'm going to admit this to you right now, I am what I like to call a pansy when it comes to spice. Whenever my friends tell me "it's not that spicy" I tend to roll my eyes at them. This burrito was a little too spicy for me, and I could have used some ketchup (yes ketchup, it's a breakfast burrito) to cool my mouth down. Was the burrito good? Yes. Was it huge? Yes. Would i eat it again? With ketchup or sour cream? Yes. Is it my perfect breakfast burrito? Sadly, no. My hunt continues.

    We got a super al pastor burrito that had no avocado or sour cream, and a breakfast burrito that was wrapped so poorly, that one entire side was missing the tortilla (how does that even happen??). See attached photo. When we showed the manager what the breakfast burrito looked like, he apologized and offered to remake both burritos and provide us with two drinks on the house. My al pastor burrito was ok, there was an unusual subtle banana flavor in the burrito that was off putting. The remade breakfast burrito was far better. The crunch of the bacon added a nice texture to the burrito. It was hearty enough to have for two meals.

    BIG chorizo breakfast burrito. Best thing on menu. Well balanced.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Vibe: - TAKEOUT ONLY - fast and efficient service - literally in front of Home Depot - Mexican people go here Food: - Best breakfast burritos in the east bay???? Maybe tbh. Highly recommend (6/5). I prefer mine with chorizo, but they offer bacon, ham, and sausage too! - salsa offered is fire (like spicy and good) - chicken torta (4/5) - Food is FILLING

    Carne Asada Super Burrito
    Daniel N.

    Who would have guessed that this unassuming shack next to Home Depot would have the best breakfast burrito in Oakland? What a hidden gem! What makes the Bacon Breakfast Burrito so good? The eggs, bacon, cheese, and hashbrowns are all well-incorporated leading to the perfect balanced bite. The bacon is crispy, and I'm a big fan of the hashbrowns versus home fries / potato chunks. It's also a great value at $10 and should satiate the hungriest of appetites. The Carne Asada Super Burrito is solid, with good flavor in the steak, but there's definitely better in Oakland. The salsa, while a good complement, is pretty spicy, so I would recommend getting it on the side. Finally, they don't have a phone number to call orders in, so be prepared to wait at least 10 minutes, though they do have some grab-and-go items. Definitely worth the wait though! Looking forward to trying the Breakfast Quesadilla and Torta next.

    Bacon breakfast burrito
    Brittany K.

    For something already made when I got there, the bacon breakfast burrito was really superb! It had hash browns, egg, cheese, and bacon -- simplicity at its finest. I've been craving LA style breakfast burritos, and I'm so happy to have finally found one...even if it's at a Home Depot! (My only complaint is that the salsa is awful and tastes tinny. This burrito deserves a better salsa!)

    Amazing

    Chili fries!!!! Found this place a few years back. Always loved the breakfast burritos... It was a while since I've come back, decided to try the chili fries, I was not disappointed.

    50 dólares por dos de estos Comida mediocre Por el precios hay mucho mejores lugares.

    Se nota que el puesto de s mas para los gringo que se andan muriendo de hambre. Por el precios definitivamente hay mejores lugares. El smoothie fue la mejor parte de mi orden. De ver sabido que estos son son disque burritos ya me imagino los tacos. Ojalá que Dios los ayude y les enseñe cómo se hace un burrito de a deveras.

    Yelp actually led me to this sandwich shop. I searched for sandwiches in my area, and this was one…read moreof the few places that popped up. I'm forever grateful for that recommendation because they make some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I've tried a few items on the menu, but the one I always recommend is the Hot Italian. Everything about this sandwich is incredible. It's packed with flavor, and you can honestly tell it was made with care. I usually pair it with a bag of chips, and the total comes to around $18. It's absolutely worth every penny and always leaves me full and satisfied. The shop is consistently clean, and the customer service is always friendly and welcoming. I find myself going back over and over again, then telling myself I need to take a break--only to end up back there a few weeks later. That's how good it is. A couple of things to keep in mind before you visit: there's only limited street parking, so you may have to circle the block to find a spot. There's also not much room to wait inside, although they do have a bench or two where you can sit while your sandwich is being prepared. In my experience, the wait is usually around 15 minutes. I've honestly never been here when it wasn't busy, so expect a crowd. But once you take that first bite, you'll understand why. Great food, great atmosphere, and great customer service. I highly recommend checking this place out!

The deli is a nice size with a couple of benches to sit and wait for your food. You can look at the menu and order, plus grab a drink or chips. They have a nice variety of items to grab that go well with your sandwich. The service was friendly and quick. Workers were all kind, and we love that it's dog-friendly! Regarding the sandwiches, you can get a hot or cold sandwich. You can also build your own! Companion got the Hot Boy, and I went the Build Your Own route. The sandwiches are hefty, with lots of great meats and fillings, and for the price, very decent! I wish my bread were a bit more toasted and crunchier, but that's my preference. It hit the spot, and I'd be open to trying their other sandwiches. I don't often go to delis, but Brothers Deli was a nice place to try. We enjoyed it by the waterfront, which makes it a great picnic option. Find them off Park Blvd., with street and residential parking around.

Growing up in Orange County, I grew up eating a lot of amazing Vietnamese food. So from the reviews, I was hoping that it was going to be amazing. Don't get me wrong the sandwich was good, but it wasn't extraordinary like people have been raving. I feel like the pork was lacking that lemonGrass flavor that it promised. It also did have way too much mayonnaise on it. I did appreciate the fresh veggies and the bread was nice. But overall, it really tasted like mayonnaise. It was lack in flavor that unfortunately, even with all the ingredients it didn't give any. Would it be something that I would order again, no. But I would give this place another try with a different sandwich. But overall, I would say my experience was "eh".

They have a modest but solid selection of Italian deli meats (Serrano ham, prosciutto, pancetta, etc), pasta, olive oil, vinegars, and a couple specialty jams (calabrian chile orange, etc) - basically all you'd need for a gourmet charcuterie board meal or snack. Last time I was here, picked ip a bottle of nicely aged balsamic vinegar from Italy, which has lasted me for a couple years. Today, decided to try one of their specialty Italian sandwiches with a shot of expresso on the side... and Mama Mia was the sandwich absolutely amazing! I highly recommend the Jamon Serrano & Manchego sandwich ($14.50). It comes with shaved ribbons of serrano ham, 1/5 inch thick slice of aged manchego cheese, a creamy spread of chevre goat cheese, chopped/marinated artichokes and arugula greens on a crusty/crunchy baguette (between half to a full foot long). I practically finished this within 10 minutes - it was so good! The expresso shot ($3.25) was also a good pairing for me. Loved the aroma, made from nicely dark roasted beans. Inside the venue there's shelves on the back wall, with Italian dry goods, oils, vinegars, jams, etc for sale. Seating indoors is about 5ish tables for 2 or more. Outside sidewalk has a couple tables too. Located on the corner of 9th & Washington St, mostly metered street parking in this area and a small hourly parking lot across the street.

It's a cute delicatessen/restaurant. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Immediately the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The woman at the register was very nice and asked if we had any questions. My mom and I shared a pastrami sandwich, Brussels sprouts, fries, and slaw. It was reasonably priced for the Bay Area. When they brought the food to the table I was shocked. Everything looked amazing and very appetizing, and the portions were much bigger than expected. Before she brought the sandwich over, she asked if we were sharing it and was so nice to split it into 2 plates for us. That was very kind for her to do. Let's start with the French fries. Omg they were perfectly crisp but still fluffy on the inside. They had so much flavor probably because of the beef tallow and had just the right amount of salt on them. There was a side of mayonnaise with the fries, and it tasted homemade. I meant to ask them if it was. It was very good lol I couldn't get enough. The poppyseed slaw was very refreshing and it was tangy and sweet. We loved that the cabbage remained crispy and it was great for a warm day. The fried Brussels sprouts were full of flavor. They were a nice balance of sweet and salty. I loved the bacon on them. The hot pastrami sandwich definitely satisfied my pastrami craving! There was just the right ratio of meat-cheese-sauerkraut-mustard-dressing. The bread tasted freshly baked as well. It was full of flavor. And the side salad that came with the sandwich was excellent. We loved the tanginess of the dressing. We were shocked that there wasn't more people inside, but also for 2pm on a Monday, it probably was just an off hour. We had so many leftovers as we both don't eat very much, but lol as soon as I got home I started eating some more of the slaw and salad. Can't wait to eat the rest for lunch tomorrow. We are already planning on coming back to try the meatballs next time and definitely trying their Indian cuisine! I'll have to bring my husband here next. Thank you guys for an amazing lunch!

(I'm sure it's still good, it's just *better* if you can eat it when it's fresh.) I swear one of these days I'll try something else on the menu.

Awhile back, I tried to bring as much business to Star Meat as I could because 1. it's a small business and 2. it's inside Star Grocery (which I LOVE, so it's convenient). When I would go there, there would often be 2 or 3 people behind the counter and oftentimes I would be the only customer. I felt like I had to stand there forever before anyone even acknowledged I existed. Each person would be busy doing something, but there was no "I'll be with you in 2 minutes." Finally, I went one day and there were 3 workers behind the counter chatting with each other. I was the only customer and was standing around 6 feet away from them, looking right at them. They went on with there conversation (not doing any other work) for a full 5 minutes. Finally I thought, "OK, they really don't seem to want my business, so I can go to any one of 4 other places and get what I want." That was a year or two ago. So, today I thought, why not give it another try, it's certainly convenient. Again, I'm the only customer at the counter. One guy is washing equipment and two guys are making sandwiches. I know that they know that I'm there, there are mirrors all along the back wall exactly for the purpose of seeing the customers. After around 4 minutes I think, who knows how long I'm going to be standing here. Maybe they have to make 20 sandwiches and I'll be here for a half hour. So, I left. I don't have anything like this experience at the 4 other meat counters I go to in the area. I'm totally fine waiting if I have some sense that I'm waiting for a purpose and that the worker will get to me as soon as they can. But at Star Meat, it feels like I'm more of an inconvenience than a customer. "Hi, I'll be with you as soon as I can," goes a long way.
