They also have a full bar, which is always a plus! We started with a Modelo and a Lagunitas IPA, both on draft, along with a Cadillac Margarita. They bring out complimentary chips, salsa, and bean dip, and everything was delicious. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Nancy, who was both our waitress and bartender. She was amazing! Our chips were getting low and before we even had to ask, she noticed and immediately brought us a fresh basket along with more salsa and bean dip. That kind of attentive service makes such a difference! For our meal, we ordered the Chile Verde lunch special, which was a really good size and very satisfying, plus two à la carte tacos. Everything hit the spot! Between the great atmosphere, drinks, food, and especially the friendly service, we had such a good experience. We're already planning our next visit!

Very Disappointing…read more My wife and I are new to Oakley and were looking forward to trying some Mexican food for lunch today. After reading all the great reviews about this place, we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. My wife ordered a wet burrito, and I ordered a carne asada burrito. First, the bag was completely saturated with sauce from my wife's burrito. By the time we got home, I had to throw the bag away because it was such a mess. Unfortunately, both burritos had very dry steak. We also waited almost 30 minutes for our food, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. That probably should have been our first red flag. We also ordered chips and salsa, only to be told that they had already run out by 11:30 a.m. The one positive thing I can say is that the gentleman at the register was very nice and courteous. Unfortunately, that was about the only positive experience we had. I would strongly suggest working on the quality and preparation of the meat and paying more attention to how takeout orders are packaged so the food arrives in good condition. For us, unfortunately, it's a NO -- we definitely won't be returning.

The environment looked really nice, and they definitely went all out with the decor. I really enjoyed the look and atmosphere of the place. I could tell the servers and hosts were a bit overwhelmed because it was extremely busy, and I completely understand. After we ordered, they were kind enough to bring out our beverages: water, juice, and coffee. However, this was where we ended up waiting quite a while for our meals. We ordered a few platters along with nachos, and I honestly feel like the nachos could have been brought out first since they're a quick appetizer that the table could enjoy while waiting for the main dishes. Once our meals finally arrived, I was excited because this was my first meal of the day. Unfortunately, when I took my first bite of the carne asada, I was pretty disappointed. The meat was extremely bland. The best part of my plate was probably the frijoles. I was hoping the salsa provided at the table would help add some flavor, but unfortunately, both salsas tasted very diluted. I know some water is normally used when making salsa, but I felt like the ratio was off and it didn't have enough flavor or spice to balance out the meat. I still devoured my entire plate because I was starving, but my family members had similar thoughts. They also felt that their proteins were a bit bland and agreed that the salsa could have used more flavor. There is definitely room for improvement, but I appreciate the service and understand that they were dealing with a very busy Sunday. Hopefully, with some adjustments to the seasoning and salsas, the food can match the great atmosphere and hospitality.

The plate was extremely hot, the pork was very tough and seemed undercooked for a dish that should be tender, and nearly half of the meat was fat.

I had to ask for silverware, as there wasn't any on the table. 10 minutes later both taco plates were delivered, asked for silverware again. Server asked if there was anything else.

Thank God for another meal, because this place definitely did not serve one made with care…read more The experience started off confusing before we even got the food. We pulled up around 12:50, and the sign on the door said closed, while the lighted sign said open. Mixed signals right away. We literally had to call just to find out if anyone was even there. I ordered a super burrito wet, half green and half red sauce. I was told what it came with, but when I got the food, key ingredients were missing. No real sour cream, no proper pico de gallo, and barely anything that made it feel like an actual super burrito. I also ordered another super burrito and asked for ranchero meat, because that is clearly something they sell there. If you sell ranchero tacos, then obviously ranchero meat exists in your kitchen and should be an option in a burrito too. Instead, the burrito came in a box looking like they already knew it wasn't put together right. When I got home and opened it, I was honestly disappointed. The photos speak for themselves. This was not a super burrito. It was a sloppy tortilla overloaded with rice and meat, with almost nothing else inside to balance it out. No beans, barely any vegetables, no real pico, and no care in the way it was made. It looked like somebody just stuffed whatever was easiest in there and called it done. And before anyone tries to say I didn't ask for certain things, you can literally see tiny pieces of tomato in there, which shows some kind of veggie mix was supposed to be part of it. But overall, it was still mostly just rice and meat. That is not what people expect when they order a super burrito. The wet burrito was just as bad presentation-wise. It should have been smothered properly, with that melty, flavorful, put-together look. Instead, it looked rushed, sloppy, and halfway done. Even the cheese on top looked like it was thrown on without any effort. This whole meal felt like it was made with no pride. Confusing service, missing ingredients, weak execution, and burritos that looked more like a struggle meal than something worth paying for. Grateful to have food, always. But I would not come back for this. Here's a shorter, sharper Yelp version too: Pulled up around 12:50 and the sign said closed, but the open light was on. We had to call just to see if anyone was there. That should've been the first warning. Ordered a wet super burrito, half green and half red, and another super burrito with ranchero meat. What I got was a sloppy mess. The photos speak for themselves. These were not super burritos -- they were mostly rice and meat stuffed into a tortilla with missing ingredients and no care. No real pico de gallo, no beans, barely any balance, and the wet burrito looked rushed and poorly finished. The cheese on top looked thrown on, not melted and smothered the way it should be. One burrito even came in a box looking like it had already fallen apart. If you sell ranchero tacos, then ranchero should clearly be available as burrito meat too. No excuse there. The places was alone for it to be lunch hour . Not a lot of people Overall, this food looked and tasted like it was made with no pride. Grateful for the meal, but definitely not worth the money.
