*This review is just about the experience I had picking up tacos & the atmosphere. Taco Tuesday: $1 tacos, $2 Birria tacos! How can you beat that?! What a great deal! Flavorful. Picking up the tacos was easy peezy. I ordered online. It was during FIFA so it was pretty loud. Nice small spot to come pick up tacos for this price!! It's a restaurant/bar in the day, and nightclub at night. Will be back again!! read more

Que Rico Nightclub - Great Taco Tuesday deal!! - Mexican Near Me - Oakland, California

I can't believe they changed me $15 for a shot of peanut butter whiskey. I order 4 and they charged $60!!! It's literally $25 for a handle just like fireball. Total price gouging read more

i am visiting from out of town & they met us with immediate hostility. it was very disappointing to come from texas and they met me and my queer friends with extreme hostility as a cancer survivor. i was very disappointed and would never come here ever again. i'd rather go to castro than to deal with this pettiness. read more

Been here before and this club is average but tonight, it annoyed me. Got my free ticket for the Discord Adams in person drag show. Flyer stated open at 6:00pm and free entrance with ticket prior to 7:00pm. Meet and greet at 8:00pm, it is 7:51pm right now and only 10 people in the club. Regardless, when we arrived at 6:45pm, it was dark. One door was unlocked and I asked the kitchen staff what's going on. He called the owner and told me everything is running behind schedule. Owner shows up at after 7 and checks our mobile tickets. Bartender doesn't start until 7:45pm. I asked if we could get a drink voucher since the club should have been opened by 6! I was denied. Oh and my friend had to use the restroom but they did not have toilet papers for her. If you cannot manage Que Rico and Level Up, stop buying clubs! Focus on this one and make improvements! Floors are sticky, smells like piss and house vodka is $14!!! #facts read more

I was looking forward to eating here on a taco Tuesday night. upon entry folks had food and drinks in front of them and table numbers. it wasn't clear if a host/ waiter would take our order or if we had to go to the bar to order there was a staff member behind the bar. not once did he greet us or offer us a menu. so we sat for a while expecting some guidance from the staff no one ever came out. I stood up and looked for the menus. staff still did not make contact or advise where the menu was at. after finding the menu I realized they were upside down we ended up leaving and didn't even order. the staff person came from behind the bar and removed items from in front of the tables.. and still didn't say a single word to guests that entered the establishment *Since the owner wants to respond in a petty manner* my review is based purely on the lack of customer service his response below indicates the poor service is a trickle-down from management it's unfortunate read more

i haven't been back to this place for about 2 years now 11:00 pm on a sat $15 cover ($20 if you pay with credit card - ridiculous) $16 cocktails about 5 people in the bar No dancers, No entertainment I won't be going back - good luck read more

Came here on a Tuesday - had a great time! $1 Taco Tuesdays and Karaoke was super lit. Everyone was very friendly, and bartender was really nice. The chicken tacos were really good btw, I wish I got more. Got the chicken wings as well - flavor was a little bland, but it was cooked amazingly - super juicy! 5 stars for vibes :) would definitely come back if I have the chance read more

Door cover is $30 and I got mug outside the club. Necklace and bracelet rip off me. My car window broken into. This sucks, I'll get over it. These days is not worth going out. read more

This evaluation and rating is for their lunch and Taco Tuesday only. Went there for lunch and it was pretty bad. The place didn't even seem open and we were the only customers there. The place was pretty dirty including the table tops. The lady working there spoke zero English and had her young daughter translate for her. The tacos were small. Food was barely warm, refried beans tasted weird and I didn't eat them. Even at $2 per taco I'm not going back. Just hoping I don't get sick. read more

Fun bar for dancing and drag shows. The bartenders are great and serve really good drinks. The food is very good. Overall, a great place to hang out read more

I ordered door dash which is already expensive don't mind paying but didn't get a super taco I got a super dried boring taco and I was so hungry and the pics looked amazing but I had to add stuff to save it and didn't have crema at home I am livid read more

I went here for the first time last night. I've been wanting to try this place, and hit up the taco Tuesday. The good: The pastor street tacos for a dollar were the best deal in the Bay Area. I even ordered ten more to take home. The bartender was friendly and sexy. The Unacceptable: Worst margarita I've ever had. My friends was bad too. The decor in here is horrible. The thing is it's an inexpensive easy fix if they got someone who knows what they're doing. The cheap plastic folding tables...no. The lighting in the main bar area... all wrong. The lighting behind the bar and visible mini fridge.. unattractive. Now I'm sure the place is a lot of fun when the fun kicks in but there's no excuse for bad margaritas, cheap plastic patio furniture and horrible lighting, in a gay bar. It's as if no thought whatsoever went into it. It's an easy fix so fix it. I'm sure it's less noticeable when the club is full of people. We were there when it was empty( for some reason they had cancelled karaoke so was like is this a gay bar or a taqueria? I'd still drive from concord to get the tacos. All good. I'm still eager to try it on a big night. No doubt it's a fun place. read more

Bad service from the nightclub security guard. Left and went somewhere else, Hire better personnel!

This place smells like musk, save your money. They wanna charge like they are in LA or NY. And the only thing they have going for them is that they have no competition. There is no good Latin bar anywhere in Oakland so people have no choice but to waste their money here. They wanna charge 30 dollars even after the head liner comes out for 5 min. They don't respect members of the community they are all about squeezing every penny. Valentino had lost touch of what being part of the community is all about. The lady at the door is rude AF, she has an horrible attitude and I had to let her know that she does not represent us and she should not be there. Stay away from this place, save your money. read more

Okay who knew big it clubs also offered food? Or whoever decided ,"let us capitalize on all these hungry people," genius. The music played was perfect for a surprise birthday we had for our friend. And yes, the food was even better. You cannot deny the tacos, quesadillas and fries if Que Rico Nightclub. Honestly I don't think I drank an once of alcohol, instead I focused on the food and the good vibes. Great location and great people working at this establishment. Can't wait to go back for the theme nights they have. read more

Grabbed two orders of Steak super burrito because there was a deal going on with buying one burrito and getting the other one for free. The super burrito was wrapped around in a large tortilla with rice, beans, steak, sour cream and salsa all inside. I was very shocked when I had to pay for my guacamole when usually the super burrito would automatically include that with the menu. Never had such an experience before. Beef was very dry and even came with bones for some reason. Not much sour cream was spread around the burrito which caused rice to be very dry and just mushy. I selected pinto and fried beans cause two burritos were ordered. Fried beans and pinto beans were so dry that I had to chug water down constantly just to help bring the food down my throat. The size of the burrito is good for about 2 people, but at the end of the day it still depends on how much you eat. read more

East bay burrito review #29 First bite 3/7 Meat 2/7 Rice 3/7 Beans 4/7 Rice 3/7 Cheese 2/7 Salsa 5/7 Overall 3/7 I understand this isn't a taqueria or truck and I'm unfairly marking down the establishment that I have no other interaction with. But I had the burrito and wasn't impressed. Mostly the meat was off and gristly. read more

I was recommended to this place by a friend he said the burritos were good, I ordered 3 birria tacos with rice and beans. Man was up at 4 am throwing up ended up getting food poisoning from this place. read more

I finally went in person with some pals last night. We stuffed our felafes with quesabirria, quesacameron, tots and nachos. We drank some mircle elixirs until the RPDR viewing party! We got to meet Salina from season 15 and she was lovely. Everyone was super nice. Definitely a great vibe. read more

A girlfriend found this on "things to do" and they had taco Tuesday as well as drag show night. Okay.. say less. We invited a few others to come out with us. When we arrived, it was already last call for their tacos and drinks but we managed to get some drinks in and a big round of tacos. We misunderstood the ad and it was actually a viewing party first THEN a drag show so we were pretty loud in the beginning. Oops. But love having food with a show. I was super sober so excuse me while I look awkward in the corner hahah read more

Love Que Rico , never had their food but every time I've gone dancing it's always a good time. Everyone is nice and welcoming If you're looking for a good time this is the place.. read more

beautifical atmosphere, vibes and food. highly recommend! I for sure will come here again and suggest this club for visitors and locals alike! read more

This is our go to nightclub with our friends around the East Bay, we been coming here since 2021. We are regular costumers but to be honest Dj Jaffeth needs to upgrade his playlists, we been noticing lately that he plays the same exact songs at the same exact time, same exact Latin mix. Usually we come here Friday's and some Saturday's and music it's the same. Even though we ask him to play certain song he completely ignore us. As a Dj he should have to be up to date with the trending music. We were so happy when they had Dj Tatiana on January 28th. She's always up to date with the music and surprise people with new Latino mixes and also she's always willing to play any song you request her. We know her from LA since last year. As far from drinks and food I can't complaint. Prices are pricey but fair. Their taco Tuesday it's the best and no one can beat them with their quesabirrias, they are delicious. Everyone who works here is very friendly and Valentino it's a nice and cool owner. Since last year he's been inviting really talented Drag queens from Rupaul's Drag Race and Que Rico Nightclub it's getting more popular. I know the issue with the music can be resolve, this place has a lot of potential and I highly recommended if you are looking for an LGBTQ+ bar/club around the area, we always feel safe here. read more

I went to Que rico on Friday night looking forward for a dance club as I am new to Oakland this is the first place that popped out on my search for a good dancing spot. I have to say this is disappointing, the place is small and the Bartender that served me was an asshole I won't be coming back. I work in the industry and I was shocked that he didn't accommodate on a small request for my drink substitute ; sprite for soda water. Not big deal but he said I was changin his recipe!. He said no, wTF are you a Bartender for? I don't recommend this place. read more

I'm so stoked there's a new queer bar in downtown Oakland! Anddd you can get hella good Mexican food there. ( get the quesabirria it's delicious) Also who doesn't want to post with the adorable gay angel wings on the front door? read more

Great music for a Latin night. The drinks price is ok but don't expect amazing cocktails. The crew was amazing. read more

I had a great time at Que Rico. Such a welcoming environment with great people. I love the different style of music they have in each area. Super super fun place. read more

Got the super chicken burrito! Amazing! Get it for yourself! Lots of options to customize when ordering through yelp or another app.

Got one of their Groupons, been trying to use it and been to the address three times during posted open hours, just to find them closed. Maybe it could be good, but I have no idea. I tried calling them to ask when open hours were, left a message asking for a reply, and they never responded. Would love to review the food, but I can't. read more

Yummy Tacos!!! They have good music drinks and these tacos. Chill place to have a drink and some tasty tacos. read more

I'm a fellow gay, but they lie to get $$, they put one price but they can "change it as they see fit" we went in thinking we was paying for a certain party, but once we got in, they said no, charged extra. And it wasn't even lit. They charge extra for no reason . Don't go here on events. They LOVE to get over ! Stay away read more

Que Rico? Que So-So We paid 30$ a ticket for the Willow Pill show and I'm not gonna lie this is the most disappointing drag show I've been to. Started at 9, but there was no drag until at least 10:30. When it finally started the audio was messing up and the queens were not stoked about it. We saw 3!!! Songs and they were like "we will be back in an hour" we barely got any FaceTime with Willow. I don't think I will ever be back. There were advertisements for drink specials but the bartender didn't know them...12$ for a well tequila soda? Yikes read more

Would not recommend this place. We were excited to try this place as it just opened. 1 star just for the quesabirria tacos which was alright compared to the other tacos we got. Do not order anything shrimp. It tasted like old chopped up shrimp... dry and grainy. I got a pretty sad expensive shrimp taco (labeled large on door dash menu but was a regular street taco size) with barely any onion or cilantro. The salsa on the side was slimy so I didn't use it. The Que Rico Tacos we're not worth it and expensive. Also same dry grainy shrimp and even dryer carne asada which had the consistency of grainy beef jerky. We didn't finish any of the tacos aside from the quasabirria tacos which was okay. Note, the consume was very small. We're disappointed that this place didn't work out. Hopefully we can visit again if quality improves. read more

I'm so happy this place was able to open! I was so sad when Club 21 closed. While it's not the same, it feels like a resurrection. I'm all for more gay bars. They have a great parklet with a stage. The performances are homegrown and entertaining. Came on a Wednesday and had so much fun. I plan on coming back here a lot. read more

This place was such a disappointment. My partner and I really wanted to love this place as it reminds us of another club that used to be on Broadway called club BnB. We came here for the Drag Brunch at 2:30 which was $60 to reserve. Once they sat us down we went inside to order some food. My friends and I ordered tacos and a botana de fruta. Needless to say that the tacos were by far the worst I've ever tried. It was like eating at Taco Bell except the shredded cafeteria meat was swimming in oil. We ordered a margarita pitcher for 4 which they charged us $55 for. Super overpriced for well tequila and a whole bunch of sugar syrup. We were so disappointed with the food that we didn't even stay for the drag show. read more

Cute new bar that still has that new bar feel and still getting things set up. You can't beat their prices, very fair, and on the lower side. Staff and environment was very positive and just good vibes all around. It's one of the few gay bars in the area, so it's nice to have a safe space to go to without having to go to SF. They have a ridiculously large outdoor area, which is really nice and ideal for brunch. Have not been yet, but will definitely try soon. The DJ was really funny and getting really into the show and dancing too. Definitely making this our go to spot on this side of the bay read more

Love the food, the service and the staff! Convenient location with outside seating. It's a true diamond in downtown Oakland! Restaurant with a full bar. Ordered the quesabirria tacos with consume -- Delicious! Didn't make it to the club yet, but I'll be back... read more
