Came here on a Saturday afternoon. The market is usually crowded, but it wasn't probably due to the weather. Anyway, I ordered and the staff was extremely helpful when making recommendations for me. I tried their ceviche tostadita and oysters. Everything was so good! The ceviche was refreshing and had several flavors. The sauce they used wasn't too overpowering. The oysters were delicious and they gave salsa to pair with it, and it made the perfect combination bomb in your mouth. They have a great happy hour menu selection! I was expecting my bill to be higher than it was with the number of oysters I got, but it was only $2 per oyster during their happy hour! Such a deal nowadays! Definitely try them out if you're nearby and in the area! read more

I'm vegetarian (no eggs) and I don't eat onions or mushrooms. This place had 2-3 vegan options and it was good. Taco itself was good, and filling for me. The ambiance is great, I love that there are so many places there. And the service was good too. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch during conference weekend. Considering the length of the line- they moved at a pretty efficient pace. I ordered the Pescado taco and puerco enchilado & pineapple taco. While both were good, the puerco enchilado (al pastor essentially) was really dang good. Perfectly seasoned and filling. I'm hoping to try other new spots this weekend but may find myself back here for another. read more

Where to start...first off, we only came here to attend the little pop up they had along with a Dj from Los Angeles. We told ourselves it's only an hour away, so we went. The food, was Amazing!!! The lines were long, but they were super fast and efficient. I had the Chilaquiles and my wife had the Carnitas Platter. We also tried the fired plantains. When it comes to flavor, presentation, portion size, everything was Perfect.u wife had a cucumber lime aqua fresca, it was pretty good. I tried the Paloma, it's made with wine, not tequila, wasn't a fan of it. But I should have know it wouldn't taste the same. Along with the food and service, the restaurant is located inside a location where there are other restaurants/meat markets around there. With the event today it was cool to have the Dj playing music, all the people smiling and dancing, will definitely have to come back. read more

So good!! I had the passion fruit which was refreshing and the chicken tacos, which were sooo good! It came with a side of beans and it was nice and filling. I nearly devoured the entire plate before I realized I didn't snap a plate - oops! Btw, the lines are always long, but the staff work quickly, so you won't be waiting to order or waiting to receive your food long at all. So glad I was finally able to try this place! Check it out! read more

Service was good. Cute little place in the public market. The girl at the register was friendly and patient as we figured out what we wanted. We were there before the rush. We got chips and guacamole, coconut pescao ceviche, vegetarian mole, and beef barbacoa. The mole and barbacoa each came with a side of rice, beans, and 3 tortillas. The tortillas were nice and hot. Coconut ceviche was good but could kinda wish it had a little more seasoning. Chips and guac are standard. read more

We came here during a weekday for lunch and this place was packed. There was line going out the door and it's odd that this place attracts so many different folks. We came as a party of 4 and ordered plenty of food. One friend got the enchiladas verdes, which they thought was pretty good. Another got the seafood in a cup (which they said was too spicy). I got a lot of vegetarian dishes - the cheese and raja tamales, the patano con mole taco, and the veggie empanadas. I thought the empanada was a little more on the plain side. And the platano mole taco didn't have a ton of mole on it. The taco was not my favorite - also more plain. The beans were a little too grounded for my taste. The guacamole and chips were generous and tasted really fresh. I'm glad they have vegetarian offerings but thought the dishes could have been better. read more

Came during lunch time on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. Plenty of seating in the food court but I guess each vendor has designated tables so staff will redirect you to new tables if you sit in areas that aren't "theirs". The empanada was delicious and the cocktail was too, I do forget the name of the cocktail I ordered. read more

I had a chance to go to La Guerrera's in Oakland on Thursday. I believe it was March 26. I met there for lunch with a friend. I ended up getting a mango shrimp ceviche. I have to say it was pretty good. It was served with some chips. This is a restaurant where you walk up and order your food and you take a number and go sit down and they bring it out to you. I had a glass of water with it. It's a nice place. I sat outside. It's pretty service. You know it's nice people watching and just good ceviche. I'd recommend it. It's not bad at all if you'd like to be here and you're in downtown Oakland, I recommend you try it. read more

Lovely restaurant inside of the Sean's Market building. I ordered the shrimp empanada special, which was a fried empanada filled with shrimp guisado. It was topped with guacamole, roasted salsa Verde, caggabe, onions, and tomato. It had a nice heat to it without being overpowering. I also ordered the pollo asado taco, which was grilled chicken topped with guacamole, pico de gallo, and a mild salsa Verde. While it looked small, there was a second tortilla underneath it so I separated the grilled chicken and toppings between the two tortillas which turned out to be the perfect amount of food. There was also a side of guacamole on the plate to enjoy. The restaurant offers both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. There is inside and outside seating. You order at the counter and they give you a pager to let you know when your order is ready. Once you're done eating, just leave your dishes on the table and they will come by and pick them up. I would definitely return because the food was very delicious. I got there a little after 1 PM and there was still a short line in front of me to order food. It seems to be a very popular place to eat. read more

I came here by accident. I was stopping by another place which disappointed me once again with their lack of food and as I was turning to walk out I spotted this place. My sister saw a news article about them so I decided to go. Boy am I glad that I did. The cashier was very nice and patient as she took our order. The place was nice and clean and I got some cool pictures. I ordered two tacos - the pork with pineapple and the birria. They were both wonderful. They had two tortillas and were full of filling. If I had a fork I would have used it to reduce the amount of filling. It came with perfectly sliced radishes and a lime wedge. I ate the slices with my meal. I doused my tacos in lime juice before eating. I have been thinking about that pork taco since. It was that good. I wanted a third taco, but didn't want to pay for parking and wait. It took a while for the food to come. But when it arrived it was happy times. My husband ordered the birria taco and a chicken asado. Again, they were fantastic and he's hard to please. He had a beer with his and liked it. We had a nice seat by the window and they ask us to leave the dishes on the table so that they can bus them which is cool. I will definitely come back. read more

What's not to like about Las Guerrera's?! I've been here a few times for lunch and they consistently serve up some of the best Mexican food downtown. Their plates are big enough to keep you full through dinner and food is tastes homemade which means quality ingredients! The Beef Barbacoa plate is perfect, it's not too fatty and not too lean. Topped with the salsa and served with warm tortillas, the combination of flavors is perfect. The barbacoa had a slight kick but wasn't spicy at all and had the taste of fresh chiles. Make sure you get here a little bit early or after the lunch rush though because the line fills up quick. read more

I visited this restaurant for the first time last Thursday for a lunch and I purchased one off and one hard shell fish taco chips and salsa. Tacos are six dollars each and the chips and salsa also are six dollars. The soft taco comes with like a pico de gallo and there's some cabbage, but the hardshell come with like a aïoli spicy sauce And that was my favorite. The space that this restaurant is located is in the Swan's marketplace downtown OaklNd. The customer service was very pleasant, welcoming , and is open air and a lovely place to visit because there's lots of little restaurants and shops around. I then visited the shop again on the following day on Friday ordering two hard shell tacos because they are Amazing! I also had a shrimp empanada, which was the special that day and it was very good. read more

Decide your order as you wait in line, the line moves quickly so decide quick! Order and pay at the counter; they'll give you your drinks immediately and give you a pager so you can pick up your food order at the counter to the left. Outdoor and indoor dining available. This time I got the Plantains in molé taco and the Harvest tostada. They'll ask whether you want crema and cheese, so vegan/vegetarian friendly. Indulged in a little cafe de olla. Delish. Def would get the taco again - ripe plantains were perfectly cooked with caramelized edges, and the red molé and pickled onions went so well with. just a warning that it comes molten so I ate it with fork and knife (aka when food's so good you don't care what random strangers think of you not knowing how to eat tacos). The tostada was good but I wanted a bit of acidic hit and it really sang with some salsa verde. read more

I really wanted to love **Las Guerreras**--the vibe is cool, the decor is trendy, and it definitely fits into the whole urban-chic food scene. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to the aesthetic. First off, the **wait was incredibly long**. Even though it wasn't packed when I arrived, I still waited what felt like forever to order and even longer for the food to arrive. It's one of those places where you're just standing around wondering if they forgot about you. When the food finally came out, I was pretty underwhelmed. I got the **veggie empanada**, and while it was nicely presented, it was **tiny and surprisingly expensive**. The flavor? Meh. It wasn't bad, but it definitely didn't justify the price tag. The one bright spot was the **guacamole**--super fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. If they put that same energy into the rest of the menu, this place could be great. All in all, **Las Guerreras** looks the part but doesn't quite deliver. Maybe worth a stop if you're nearby and craving guac--but bring your patience and maybe a snack for the wait. read more

This place is located in Swan's Market, the ambiance is very causal. I came on a weekend but I imagine it's packed on weekdays. Everyone I tried was delicious. I had the fish tacos, the fish had good seasoning on it and the slaw on top was nice and fresh, wish it had a bit more fish. The sopes were also very good, I had it with beef barbacoa, the meat was tender and very flavorful. read more

Came here on a sunny Saturday afternoon, and they did not disappoint. Great options to sit down, either inside or in their outdoor patio. Their menu had variety, but not overwhelming so you're standing there wondering what the heck to order. I had the pescadilla (crispy fish taco) and wow, one of the best fish tacos I've had. I also had the aguachile verde, super tasty and enough for 2-4 depending on how hungry you are so a great dish to share. I can't wait to come back as there were several other things I wanted to try. read more

Okay, I've been back at least five more times: the food is amazing. It's inside Swan Market, which has a range of unique and excellent places. But, as a huge fan of Mexican food, this is my go-to place when in the area. At the peak of lunch, the line can be long, but it's worth the wait The verde enchiladas are delicious. And, it's "plated" as though it were a fancy sit-down restaurant. The downside is I like this dish so much I don't try many other items. Service is always very polite and the process works well. And since it's inside the marketplace, there is a lot of energy and activity. Seating has always been available, both inside and outside. In talking with colleagues, all agree it's an excellent place. Enjoy! read more

I really wanted to love this place. I accidentally stumbled upon this place last weekend and saw people eating what looked like generous portions of chilaquiles. I decided to try that dish this weekend and ordered the food to go. I was handed perhaps the smallest to-go box I've ever seen in my life. When I opened the box there were literally no more than 12-15 small chips (in total) with a very small amount of egg on top. This wasn't even enough food for a toddler and after paying over $20, I expected much more. The eggs were also undercooked and slimy. The food smelled good when I first went which is what made me return to try it out but unfortunately it really missed the mark. read more

If u wanna eat tamales make sure u pre order or be in as soon as they open . Located in swans market place. Metered parking in this area .. I always come for the pozole verde.. omg it's so good very flavorful .. I went back two Saturdays only to find out they make pozole everyday . Honestly I didn't even need the limes and extra toppings.. but I never had chili oil on pozole now I'm hooked it was the extra spice that was needed.. especially the week I was sick ..I'm hoping next time I can go they will have some coffee horchata .. I'd love to try it never rea had it ever in life.. the guava drink was good not sweet at all.. service was amazing very nice genuine people.. I usually order to her but there is plenty of seating inside and some outdoor seating .. read more

My brother and I walked into Swans today because we were looking for a burger. The place we were looking for was actually at Prescott market. Nevertheless I walked around after a ten year absence. I was amazed in the changes I saw. My brother had never been to swans. So we enjoyed walking around. And wow! What an amazing place. I happily encountered Las Guerreras. I remember them from the humble beginnings at the Aloha Club in the Fruitvale district in Oakland. So after a brief chat with a staffer and one of the owners. My brother had his first ever oyster. And to my surprise he enjoyed it. My 5 star review is for the welcoming attitude of everyone here. I will definitely return. Thank you read more

I really like this place. I've stopped in to grab a tamale or two on the run but really enjoy eating in. Swans market has a nice vibe to it. I have one beef with them however, the last three or four times I've gone, they have run out of their amazing salad. That's really the thing that I love to get there so I wish they would supply themselves well. The food is great, the cocktails, a little weak, but overall a really enjoyable place. You can even pop over to the next stall and get a cupcakin' for dessert! read more
