Food: 8/10 Service: N/A (pay at the food truck and seat yourself or take home) Value: 5/10 Wait time: 5 minutes to order on Sunday at 12noon Portion size: medium I have been here many times but this is my first time writing a review. I haven't been in a while since they got rid of the 2nd food truck and the line is just too long. This time there was barely a line so I had to get some! I ordered steak tacos and 1 lengua taco. Definitely still delicious but the price has gone up probably due to inflation and covid. Its now $3.25 for one taco! The lengua is definitely a favorite if you want to be adventurous. Its beef tongue but its so tender and juicy that you have to try it! All meals are served with a side of radishes, carrots and jalapeños. I would also ask for a side of salsa to add to the tacos because this time there wasn't as much as I remembered.

1.5* -0.5* for serving LEMONS over LIMES, crime at its finest This was not the best picture, but neither were the tacos. I love authentic Mexican food, especially a STREET TACO. I don't understand what the fuss is about here. This was my 2nd visit. 1st visit my tacos were drenched in sauce, I like to taste the FLAVORs, so EASY on the sauce pal. &&& the sauce was soooooo not it! I learned my lesson & ordered sauce on the side the 2nd time around & the meat was nearly tasteless... also CASH ONLY! a million & 1 working the truck & service is beyond slow. & u bet not dare THINK about asking for EXTRA salsa verde. Very stingy with the verde! There's too many street taco options in Oakland for me to return here.

I got chicken burrito and had a good street food experience there today. International boulvard is full of food trucks. You probably heard about places with the best tacos in Oakland, this is one of them. I was passing there and stopped by to get some food for lunch. Food was yummy and everything in it was fresh. Very fast and polite staff. If you're looking for some good mexican street food-this is a place you should give a try. Next time I'll try something else and share some pictures. +++only cash there+++

If you're craving authentic Mexican food and are in the East Bay, Sinaloa is the one. I've been here so many times and this taco truck just HITS. Just make sure you bring cash. Service is usually quick as the food is made to order. The truck is located right by Fruitvale and there's a small parking lot. Sometimes I'm in the mood for tacos and other times, a burrito. Both are great! I'd say 3 tacos are enough to get me full since they don't skimp on the meat. The super burrito is literally the size of your forearm and can feed like 2-3 people. The carnitas are always crispy, but not dry. The al pastor (my favorite and go-to) is very balanced and not too sweet. Sometimes it can be a bit greasy though and can leak through the burrito, but with my frequent visit, the al pastor was done just right. Make sure you ask for salsa because sometimes it's not included with the pickled jalapenos and carrots, radishes, and lime.

Tacos Sinaloa is one of my all fave-go to taco spots. My favorite tacos to get are the carnitas tacos. They press them on to the grill or something like that and makes the meat crispy which I love. I also really like the carne asada tacos and the burritos! Omg I had not thought of getting a burrito because I felt like I always wanted tacos when I went, but all of the staples such as meat, beans and rice are so delicious. When you have the staples down, pretty much any mix of food you get will be good. We always order a large horchata to go with it. They only take cash so remember that. They have outdoor seating which is nice, but it's usually a long line so I always like to go before the lunch rush.

It always bothers me that it's Tacos Sinaloa instead of Tacqueria Sinaloa... Anyways, I first discovered Tacos Sinaloa because they served tacos for a grad event in Berkeley. (I think they are my first taco truck ever!) Fast forward many years later and I'm no longer a starry-eyed college grad, but the tacos are as delicious as I remember, albeit with prices a little higher than I remember. They have one of the most diverse taco truck menus I've seen: all the classic meats, specialty meats including lengua, and a seafood section. They offer all kinds of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc. but I like sticking to good old tacos. They come with cilantro, onions, and salsa as well as a side of pickled veggies. - I think my favorite was actually the POLLO; it's simple and well-rounded, finished off nicely with all the classic toppings. - The AL PASTOR definitely had a kick and reached the upper limit of my spiciness tolerability. I love spicy, but this had me reaching for water. - The CARNITAS was more deep-fried than I had expected. I'm not really used to crunchy carnitas so it wasn't love at first bite, but the unique crispiness grew on me, and it didn't too dry because there was ample sauce. For $3 per taco, it makes a great meal or snack, and I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. Service was also friendly. There's a short wait for the food since everything is made-to-order. Other notes: - I wasn't enthused with the subpar COVID precautions... although there was a sign requesting for masks, several customers were completely unmasked, and nothing was enforced. Staff were wearing masks, but I saw one of them had their mask pulled down. I guess it's reassuring that it's mostly socially distanced, and I feel bad for judging. I just wish people took things a bit more seriously (wearing a mask to order at a taco truck is not difficult!) - The taco truck is located adjacent to a sit-down restaurant. The indoor was closed, but there were some benches outdoors - There's a small parking lot - They don't have any utensils, so be prepared to eat with your hands. It's a little messy with the sauces, so I actually used chopsticks that I found in my car lol

My housemate was on the hunt for good al pastor tacos, good tacos in general, and we found this place on yelp! We ordered 2 carnitas tacos, 2 al pastor, and 2 carne asada. The carnitas tacos are some of the best you'll have. The carnitas are recooked and warmed on the flattop so they have this nice and crisp layer to it. It is to die for. The meat is nice and tender. The ONLY downside is that when you got to a part of the taco that had no salsa and just meat, there was a lot of chewing involved but that definitely didn't stop me. The al pastor was... interesting. Instead of traditional al pastor, it's like pork that they smothered in a sauce? Like if they cooked pork, made an al pastor sauce and concentrated it and then poured it over the cooked pork. Was it good? Yep. Was it al pastor? Meh. No pineapple either. Carne asada was my LEAST favorite. It was dry and hard to get down in my opinion. Good carne asada is cooked, chopped, then served. That retains some moisture in the beef. I understand that, for speed, the taco trucks will precook it ahead of time and re-warm on the truck but this one, to me, was sooooo dry. Pass. The real kicker however is the value. $2 per taco and they're good sized tacos! What a steal! Let's be real, it's hard to find tacos at that price now a days. All in all, definitely recommend giving this place a try. I want to try their quesadilla and super burrito next!

Tacos Sinaloa is in my strong opinion the best Taco truck in the Bay Area! I love this place, have been here countless number of times, and like to share this spot with good friends! They do everything right when it comes to a great taco, the double serving of tortillas are cooked on the flat top with some oil to just the right crisp. They dress the tacos the right way with green salsa for lengua and cabeza and salsa roja for most other meats options. The range of meat options are tasty and authentic, and they offer my favorite meat that is not common at most trucks. The Suadero is something they translate into "Rose Meat", it is beef brisket cooked to a texture like Carnitas. A Suadero Burrito is my go to Burrito before an A's game, and honestly its so good!! They aren't over the top with guac/sour cream/pico thing. They serve it with rice, not lots of beans, a little "crema" not sour cream, a little cheese, and not too much salsa. There is some spice to the meat, and this Burrito will change your life. Sinaloa is a coastal state in Mexico known for its seafood, so if you come here order Shrimp tostadas, Coctel de Camarones (shrimp), fish tacos...! Everything they do here is good, the lengua (tongue) is very good, and another great meat here is the Cabeza. The meat from the head of the cow offers you stewed cheek meat that is packed with flavor and will melt in your mouth. If you live in Oakland, you should know about this place, it is an Iconic taco truck in the Bay! My favorite spot for tacos and a Jamaica agua fresca. Try it for yourself, and you will fall for it if you like authentic Mexican tacos, amazing seafood and Saudero Burritos!

East Oakland and the Fruitvale District in particular doesn't get any more authentically Mexican than the tacos, burritos, and quesadillas being served from the Tacos Sinaloa food truck. Located along the busy Fruitvale Avenue corridor and catacorner from the Fruitvale Bart Station, Tacos Sinoloa has been satiating the taste buds of locals and people coming in from parts unknown for years thanks to their brightly painted orange exterior and their overall reclamation of an old auto mechanic shop which now serves as their main dining room with their food truck parked in front. Now with the situation we are currently living in this dining room is closed, despite it being basically an old open garage where diners can feast on their soft tacos in the midst of the open atmosphere of the Fruitvale neighborhood. I have been coming to Tacos Sinaloa for years now thanks to its close location to the Interstate 880 off ramp being so close and accessible for those who want to grab a quick bite and get back on the freeway in order to get going. I was in the area running some other errands and considered my options when it came to lunch as I knew there were a lot of pick from and I wasn't kidding myself as I was trying to get from point A to B in where I was going I counted at least five other Mexican-style food trucks which no doubt served the same authentically made Mexican dishes. But I remain loyal to Tacos Sinaloa thanks to the additional locations in Berkeley and I knew they served up some really nicely prepared Tacos and Burritos. Since I was hungry the time I had went this time I decided that a burrito was the only was to go as they served two kinds regular and super. Both burritos feature your choice of meat along with rice, beans, sour cream, cheese and salsa and I believe the only difference is the size, but I wouldn't exactly know the difference because the menu on the side of their truck has the prices for both burritos blacked out so it gives me pause in thinking that they were probably only doing one size burrito at this time. Either way for ten dollars I ordered a steak burrito and for an additional ten I ordered a carnitas burrito for my family back at home so they too could enjoy a nice takeout lunch. They do charge extra for higher-end specialty proteins such as tongue, tripe, and seafood but the fact that steak isn't considered specialty and no additional charge is requested is nice. Although the meal took about ten minutes to prepare the exterior of the burrito was beautifully seared on all sides. There was plenty of filling each burrito but I did notice a lack of sour cream and salsa, which only affected the taste as I tend to split my burritos in half and save the rest for a future meal and when I did so and reheated it, the burrito was fairly dry, which wasn't bad but would have been nice had it been paired with an extra salsa on the side. Instead you get a traditional packet of chopped raw vegetables including carrot and radish slices, two lime wedges and a two grilled chili peppers which were the spiciest things I have had in quite some time. Obviously a return visit is required, as this is the only place I go for my takeout Mexican cuisine. Ordering soft tacos to-go with their size and overall takeout compatibility is the question. That is why I went with the burrito as I think that menu item is more accessible for a takeout order. Also their Quesadilla de Carne, Tortas and Meat Tostadas look really good. And the fact that they even serve Seafood Cocktails, out of their little food truck is intriguing to say the least! I just wish the prices on their menu will be updated soon as all of their prices are blacked out, which is a rather peculiar way to run things especially in these takeout kind of times! Either way Tacos Sinaloa is my go-to place for takeout Mexican food and I wouldn't have it either way!

The chorizo was burnt and I couldn't eat it. The Lengua tasted like boiled mush

Not sure what the hype was about. I've heard from many people in the Bay Area that these were the best tacos in the Bay! I was so juiced to finally try them! The location was a little sketch but hey, I will risk my life for some good tacos! Tacos 5/10 - I had the carne asada, chorizo, lengua, carnitas & fish tacos. Trash. The flavor wasn't there. The protein existed, and so did the pico, cilantro & onions. But what's food without flavor?! I needed to taste the love and effort put into it. I asked if the fish tacos were battered and deep fried, but I for cut up fish, I was confused. The chorizo was hella burnt I could not eat it. Lengua tasted like boiled human parts. I don't think I can do lengua anymore this experience ruined it for me. The Horchata 8/10 - Creamy, light and refreshing. What more can you ask for.

*** CASH ONLY *** As long as they've been open and poppin' they need to upgrade to card! I hate always having to hit the bank before coming to get tacos, such an inconvenience as I rarely carry cash‍ The best tacos in the Bay Area! (I also just found a new spot in the Oakland area that come in 2nd place, and are a little cheaper, looks like you have some competition Sinaloa!!) Anyways, these are my childhood! I remember coming here as a child with my parents & brother. My dad would always make me take out the second tortilla from my tacos and go to feed the birds. It was my favorite thing to do. One of the very few memories I have with him. I've had alot of different food from here. My top favorite are Chicken or Asada Tacos, Asada Torta & Shrimp Ceviche!! Chicken is shredded & sooo juicy!! Asada are cut nice and small (not big chunks) & seasoned to perfection! Not salty at all. Now that Shrimp Ceviche!! That shit is on hit! With Tapatio omg, my mouth just did that thing where your taste buds get the best of you and pinch the back of your jaw lmao! No joke. You will not be dissatisfied coming here! Food is amazing, pricey! You get what you pay for tho. My only negative is all the homeless in the area and they sit on the edge of the truck sometimes just begging for $$$, then the prostitution.... sucks. Part of the reason, I went looking for another taco spot, (which I found ) Corner of High St & E 14th! Go you will not be disappointed!!!! Tacos Sinaloa will always hold a special place in my heart though! I will never stop coming here.

Carne asada and chicken tacos, and their ginormously long burrito!

Amazing tacos! I use to live in SoCal and always thought the bay area and socal has very different styles and taste to their Mexican food, and that's completely fine, but these tacos blew it out of the park! Area is definitely not so great, but perhaps that aides in the flavor and hype about this truck. The bf ordered their super carnitos burrito and was huge, def shareable if you feel like sharing (Please see pic below lol). If you're hungry and feel like you havent eaten in days, I reccomend ordering their super burrito for quantity. Quality wise for a burrito, i would probably go the Mission, SF. But back to the tacos, I ordered a chicken taco and carne asada taco. Both were delicious, but if I had to pick one, I definitely would go with their carne asada tacos! Don't miss out on them!

First time being in downtown Oakland. Stopped at this taco truck. Ordered some veggie super burritos, chicken burritos, tacos and quesadilla. The price is definitely good for the amount of food you get and as long as the food is good, I will always support local businesses.

If you're looking for a quick fix for tacos, this is your place! It's situated right across from Fruitvale Bart and the nice thing is that even though it's taco truck, there's an enclosed area behind with seating if you have time to stick around. The person working at the truck was very patient with my friends and I since it was our first time. I was really surprised by how many options of meat (and seafood) that they had, so I ended up being ambitious and taking 2 each of the lengua, asada, and pescado. They were all super tasty, but I'd have to say that the winner was the pescado. It's definitely not a Baja fish taco but I actually think I'd prefer their version of the pescado taco more as there was definitely a larger emphasis on the flavor of the fish rather than the sauces. Portions are HUGE and I couldn't ask for anything more for $2 a taco. Gotta mention that this place is cash only so come prepared with a full wallet and an empty stomach!!! read more

5 stars!!! This place is on a busy street so it's easy to locate. You can order to go or have it there. They make their food in the food truck, but right behind the food truck is an area they have reserved for seating if you choose to eat there. The man who took my order was very nice and professional and patiently waited as I decided what I wanted. I ordered the veggie burrito I asked to have guacamole. I got both and I paid eight dollars. I have to say this was a good buy and I was super excited to find I had some fresh vegetables wrapped up separately. I think I'll go back before I leave California. You must stop by this place the food taste amazing! read more

Literally they have a location near my campus so I can get it anytime, but even as I'm in Oakland, I would still choose this place over any other taqueria, because of their quality and their flavor. Whenever I'm here, I always order the super burritos because I could split it with a friend, so we would only pay around $6 each person to get a full meal! Their super burritos are like the length of an arm!!! Their tacos are really good as well, and a safe choice for meat would always be the asada (steak). Tacos sinaloa never lets me down. Their hours are Weekdays 11am-11pm, while weekends are 11am-1am. read more

Had been wanting to try them for a while and even more after having been to Sinaloa and having had amazing seafood. We ordered carne asada, lengua and al pastor tacos due to the reviews. Lengua was the best, super flavorful, carne asada was ok and al pastor was not good at all. Wanted to try their agua chile, they didn't have any the day we went (super disappointing) so we ordered a ceviche tostado (mixto). It was bland, not impressed at all. Won't be going back, so many other taco trucks in the area that are better! read more

Been here many times. Food is inconsistent, sometimes I get a good amount of lengua and sometimes the scraps. Tortillas aren't always cooked long enough but when they are the taco is good. They can be kind of rude and resistant to giving extra lime. I don't like feeling as if asking for a bit more lime is a crime. I only go here if the group I'm with chooses this spot. There are other spots in Oakland that are just as good or better. read more

Tacos and quesadillas meat were dry, it tasted like they use a plenty amount of monosodium glutamate as seasoning that makes anyone eating their food addicted to the taste, wanting to have more, etc. Burrito tasted the same but just rolled and bigger. My late night order of 3 taco, 2 quesadillas, burrito & 3 soda -all these cost me 75 dollars!!! Too over priced for the food quality, not to mentioned these type of food are oily and it had lots of calories. Taco truck at night makes it easier to satisfy savory food cravings compromising health in the long run. I couldn't see how they prepared my food, who knows what similar looking ingredients they use, it tasted so good that keeps you addicted and keep wanting more, charge you just the same like a known restaurant chain except they have no quality inspection and strict food preparation, sanitation guidelines. read more

If there's one thing Bay Area residents should be appreciative about, its the plethora of food truck options - specifically all the taco trucks. Especially on days where I need something cheap, heavy, and delicious, I know where I'm headed. So last Sunday when my friend and I were apartment hunting, we decided to pay a visit to Tacos Sinaloa on East 12th Street and Fruitvale in Oakland. For those not familiar with the taco scene in the Bay Area, Sinaloa is one of the most beloved spots for truck style Mexican food. I remember trying their first spot on International Blvd many years ago and falling for their Carnitas Tacos. Now every chance I get, I try to stop by. Since then, Sinaloa has expanded to several more locations - even opening a shop in Berkeley (go Bears!). And I think this 12th Street spot just opened up. Like all the others, this Sinaloa truck had a plethora of scrumptious options. Here they served up burritos, tortas, ceviche, and of course tacos! They got lots of meat options too, including ones like asada, fish, and even tripe. In terms of price, this truck was clearly a steal. Tacos were only $2 for example and burritos were $10. On this most recent visit, I got a Carnitas Torta and an Asada Taco. Food came out pretty quick! And overall, it wasn't bad! For the torta, I loved the crispy pieces of fried pork. They gave me a LOT, and it definitely filled me up. Bread was also nice, copious, and crunchy. Other than that though, I felt like the general taste was kind of bland. The sauce could've been better and the lettuce and tomatoes were pretty much whatever. Large portions, but definitely not their strong suit. On the other hand, the Asada Taco was awesome! Weren't stingy with the meat and I liked how flavorful the asada was. I'd personally prefer their carnitas, but steak wasn't bad. Also a plus that I got some jalapeños and lime on the side too! What I really enjoy about Tacos Sinaloa over many other taco trucks is the atmosphere and setting. This one was definitely another great example. There was plenty of seating underneath shade, it was very relaxing and peaceful, and they even had a bathroom! It's just the little things that really matter to me. Planning a trip to this specific Tacos Sinaloa should be a breeze. It's literally located RIGHT next to Highway 880, and so you can technically just hop off, grab food, and go on your way. Parking is very plentiful here; good number of spaces in the lot and on the street. One thing to note about coming here though is that it's CASH ONLY. If you're looking for real food cheap tacos in the Bay Area, Tacos Sinaloa is definitely one place you should have on your radar. Each time I've gone there's always something great to brag about. It's inexpensive, delicious, and filling. What more can you ask for? I give this one a "Nice-su, you can take your parents here and they'll be happy" rating. Eat well and prosper, read more

Got this after making a stop of Tacos El Gordo about a mile away. I was a little disappinted, the al pastor lacked flavor and too soggy/oily, which also made the tortilla fall apart. It was just ok. read more

This place is wonderful! The first time I came to the truck I was skeptical that their veggie tacos would be as good as their meat ones. I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered them with everything and they were delicious. I especially love that the add extra pickled vegetables to compensate for the lack of meat, lol. My friend who came with me really enjoyed her lengua, carnitas, and steak tacos as well. P.S. Please bring extra cash to tip the employees! read more

Easily one of my favorite taco trucks in Oakland. My favorite lengua burrito lives specifically at this truck, not the location on Telegraph. The super burrito is more than filling; it could easily be all 3 meals in my day, divided up evenly of course. So when this truck just so happened to be in my neighborhood in South Berkeley, I was happy I didn't have to keep pondering food ideas driving around hangrily. read more

Terrible customer service but the food is decent not great to be honest. Individuals that work here often take advantage of those who aren't Spanish speakers by excluding parts of their orders. For instance after my order was received I noticed a item was missing. I presented a worker with my receipt upon request, but then he attempts to discredit my order and claim it was never there after presenting him evidence. This food altercation was ultimately resolved but was handled in the most unprofessional way possible by not only the individual who discredited my order but by the individual that manages them also. I never resorted to being disrespectful and was very poised during the situation even with the lack of communication to me from the food truck. Nonetheless I can't say the same for the workers or the individual that manages them. As to why I said non Spanish have and will be taken advantage of eating here. What's crazy is I speak Spanish and was literally able to decipher how both the worker and manger tried to discredit my order even with provided evidence. I definitely don't recommend eating here unless you want your food played with after you've already paid. Pls reconsider dining here, im not just some angry customer with pent up animosity. I've had a bad experience here and thought I'd share it to prevent others from getting the same treatment. Hope this helps read more

Can I just say this ... BOMB.COM. The food is great my friends and I always go here when we are on a budget or if we are craving tacos or burritos. It's so cheap, and good, and the good thing is they don't tax. Don't get me wrong people might think the super burritos are expensive, but it's worth it. If you are a person who eats a lot, you should order the super burrito because it's so long. One thing I say they should change it the menu cause not for me because I already know the prices but for the other people. The reason being, veggie tacos are 2.50 but they are really only 2.00. They also have another taco truck where it says they sell strawberry horchata, chille rellenó burritos, etc. but it's crossed out, so that's a minor improvement. Overall, this truck is delicious and I highly recommend it. read more

if you want cheap, hole-in-the-wall, legit tacos, this is the place to go to. yes, be warned that the area is sketch, there's high school kids smoking weed in the corner, and you gotta take your cash out and out of your pocket fast. but despite of its environment, you will get more bang for your buck since tacos sinaloa hooks you up with plenty of meat, seasoning, and veggies at only $2.00 / 2.50 per taco Note: we ordered almost one of each tacos from here and after eating each one, i really can't pick just one as my favorite (except the steak, which was pretty fattening and soggy yet still delicious). top two: 1. horchata 2. carnitas now, what all the tacos had in common were the abundance of protein, heavy seasoning, and creamy sauces. also, radishes and jalapeños were provided on the side so that you can control the amount of spice on your tacos. the taco shells were a bit on the smaller end, but i would rather have my taco be full of toppings than to be big with no toppings at all. overall, i am very fond of taco sinaloa and will travel to back to east oakland for their tacos again. read more

I ordered steak nachos and somehow got nachos covered in rice, barely any meat (if any at all), and a laughably small portion for the price. On top of that, they were made with the same stale chips. For what they charge, this level of food quality is unacceptable. I won't be coming back. The server was rude and short didn't care to answer any questions.

Pedí nachos de asada y me los sirvieron llenos de arroz, casi sin carne (si es que tenía algo), y con una porción ridículamente pequeña para el precio. Para colmo, los hicieron con los mismos totopos viejos. Por lo que cobran, la calidad de la comida es inaceptable. No regresaré.

My barbacoa and Chile verde tacos were also solid with some nice topping variation that helped mix up the flavors and texture. Oscar's service is good and straightforward. Place your order up front and either grab a table there or walk to their back patio. I LOVE the back area on a sunny day and would highly recommend it. Each taco here will run you about 5-6 bucks so don't be too suprised by the sticker shock. I would say 3-4 tacos is the ideal range depending on how hungry you are.

We ordered the duck carnitas, summer tamales, and kids' quesadilla, along with the roasted beats and a strawberry agua fresca and horchata. I cannot enumerate all of the amazing elements and flavors in this meal, but I can say that the crispy outside of the duck and the ease with which it fell apart drew a connection between duck confit and carnitas that changed the way I will think about both. The hearty masa in the tamales had a the texture of hand ground corn and was substantial enough to warrant chewing though. The beet -- tender and flavorful in itself -- was paired with a nutty, spicy mole like a thick paste, bright with its herbs. The agua fresca was a summertime blast of fruit. Yes, yes.

The prices on the menu are $5-10 more than the menu on their website. It's a nice dining room, but very loud and the piped-in music makes it worse: I couldn't hear what my date was saying across the table. We started with the smoked trout tostadas. This is kind of ceviche style, and they were delicious. These are "street taco" sized tostadas by the way. The portion was OK but for $20 it could've been a bit more substantial. The duck mole: the duck was nicely unctuous and cooked amazingly, but very salty. The mole had the consistency and taste of hummus. Needless to say it was thick, gloopy and tasted only of cumin. The little salad on the plate was plastered in it. The grilled swordfish Valencia style was just an overly sour salsa verde with a couple chopped green olives with the fish sitting in the watery liquid. The salsa had a kick, but tasted mostly of lime, it was also cold. The swordfish however was grilled perfectly and the portion was great--for $35 I'm glad it was. Beans and rice seemed an overly salty afterthought, and if you don't want beans, too bad, it's served in the same bowl as the rice. The service was almost non-existent--no one checked in on us or asked how things were; there seemed to be only one person taking orders in the dining room and three-four people running around. Our appetizer plates sat in front of us for 15 mins, so when the entrees arrived the runner had a hard time clearing the table and simultaneously putting down the entrees. We didn't see our server again until the end when she gave us the check. Suddenly the charm came on when the tip came up. I appreciate what they're doing, but for that price point there are far better options.

While this visit was in between the lunch and dinner rush, unfortunately I think they are understaffed because at the time we sat down there was only 1 person who was busing tables and taking orders. As a result, it took a while for them to be able to stop by our table and provide water, take our order, etc. There was quite a long wait between sitting down to ordering to actually receiving our food. By the time we had actually received our food, almost an hour had passed. While we were waiting, a few other servers eventually joined, but service was still pretty bare for us and we never received refills on water or plates to eat off of when we received our food. I understand that staffing and a backup in the kitchen are out of the staff's control, but it would've definitely helped for us to know in advance how long to expect to wait to align our expectations and arrange our plans for the day. Would advise giving customers a quick heads up/warning because that on its own would've made a big difference. As for the actual food, we ordered the mac trio with elote mac, chicken pot pie mac, and kogi short rib mac (for an extra fee). The elote mac was the best and most flavorful, the short rib mac was okay but not amazing or worth the extra money, and the chicken pot pie mac was very bland/flavorless and didn't have much chicken in it. The food didn't feel like it warranted the wait time and because of that I would not return.

Every mouthful had a nice hint of buttery flavor from the pancake and then a hint of freshness from the veggies. Spicy Shaken Beef Pho -- flavorful beef broth, perfect amount of saltiness, lots of fresh beef slices. Super filling and warm! The food was delicious and fresh! Would come back and try their other dishes, their standard pho was yummy and flavorful!

Stepping into Me Va Con felt like entering a slightly more upscale Vietnamese restaurant. They've…read moreclearly put more thought into the decor and menu than you typically see at a traditional pho spot. We ordered the beef pho ($20), crispy spring rolls ($11), and beef carpaccio ($18). The pho was solid, with a clear, deeply flavored broth and noodles that were slightly al dente, which I personally enjoyed. That said, for $20, it didn't feel especially memorable. The crispy spring rolls were fine, but I prefer the ones I make at home, so I'd probably skip them next time. I was especially excited to try the Vietnamese beef carpaccio, and the presentation was beautiful. The beef was fresh, evenly sliced, and topped with baby greens, onions, crispy fried onions, and edible flowers. Unfortunately, the sauce leaned far too citrusy for my taste and overpowered the flavors I wanted to come through, such as fish sauce, vinegar, and sugar. I also think a little more fried onion and garlic would have made the dish more flavorful and satisfying. Overall, we had a decent meal with both highlights and misses. They also offer dishes like bánh khọt and bò lúc lắc, which may be worth trying on a future visit.

There was a lot of people in there 1/2 an hour before closing too so I'm sure the place is good. I tried something new cause I usually love this drink: banana matcha, (Even though i originally came to try something else) but I was disappointed. Matcha flavor was really light and so was the banana flavor. It was more of a light matcha milk, if you will. I will come back to try what I originally wanted to drink (horchata matcha latte, I believe it was) cause I really think they have good drinks. I've heard great things from friends so maybe I just got a bad drink, off day, or because it was a new drink on the menu, it just hasn't been perfected yet? Not sure but just wasn't what I usually expect from a matcha drink. Other than that, service was great. The cashier was really nice. I was able to find street parking really easily as well. (If you do try the banana matcha, maybe ask for less milk!)

Alright folks, here's the deal: Living in Alameda has me often yearning for some legit taco action. But I've found that I usually need to head over to Oakland to truly satisfy those cravings. And that's exactly how I ended up at this taco truck! Nestled in Oakland, this spot was a serendipitous find on an evening adventure. The setting is chill, making it the perfect backdrop for some true street taco vibes. And speaking of streets, there's a handy parking lot right at the corner, so you can just park and wander over with ease. I dove into two pastor and two carne asada tacos, and even though they're on the petite side, they don't skimp on flavor. My plate was brimming with extras - a generous helping of radishes and jalapeños which added that fresh zing to every bite. And oh, those salsas! Perfectly spiced and absolutely delightful. Now, are these the all-time champions of my taco experiences? Maybe not. But when the taco craving hits in Alameda, this Oakland gem is definitely worth the short trek. Can't wait to see what the rest of their menu holds on my next visit! read more
