It's not the most convenient and typical location. More of an Oakland food adventure, you can to see more of the local vibes of food offerings. The spot is marked with the spinning trompo and this is their specialty. We sat down and our al pastor taco orders were off. They were definitely busy during lunch time and we were able to snag a table. Food is definitely made to order and sprinkled with pineapple. The al pastor was nicely charred and tasty. Table side salsa provides the option of the green salsa or fiery spicy red. The red salsa kicks a bunch but it burns so good. There's also pickled onions just beware of the orange slices as those seem to be habaneros. The staff are super friendly and we'll be coming back for more cravings. Cash only.

A tamale and some slaw with green sauce for $2! And these are the best tamales in the Bay Area!!!…read more I've been coming here for probably about 5 years now. It's a little stand at the corner of Fruitvale and International Blvd in Oakland. They are only open in the morning, from 6:30 am to 11 am. I first noticed this place when I was driving by and saw a long line of people. I had to stop and find out what was going on. Since then I've been hooked. My husband was NOT a tamales fan until I brought home one and made him eat it. Now he loves these tamales. They have pork tamales, chicken (red and green sauce) and some kind of sweet one the last I checked, but since I don't care for a sweet tamales I only stick to the pork and the chicken. The pork tamales are my favorite. Light, almost fluffy masa with melt-in-your-mouth pork with red sauce wrapped in corn husks. The vinegar based slaw and green sauce are self served. The slaw and the sauce both has jalapenos and has some kick. Try it out!

I adore this little gem…read more It is one of the better tamale stands of the area in my opinion. It's open early which is a plus. My pork tamale was really tasty and a bargain. The price is ideal for being a "broke college student" +the slaw was a pleasant surprise! Be sure you try it out

Quite simply, these are the BEST fish tacos I've ever had in the Bay Area…read more The place is half a block from my studio, so I have the privilege of confirming this opinion at least once a week. I've also brought plenty of friends and family here to try them, and the verdict is always the same: wonderful! I've heard that pretty much everything else on the menu is equally excellent, but I'm completely addicted to the fish tacos, so I've never managed to order anything else. It's cozy, friendly, and incredibly efficient if you happen to be in a hurry. I honestly couldn't recommend it more highly, or more fondly.

The hype over their fish tacos is well deserved! The fish pieces were battered, fried, and very…read moresubstantial. I really enjoyed the creamy orange sauce. $5.75 a taco may seem a bit much, but at least the taco size and quality justifies the price. I also ordered the smaller size of ceviche for $15. It came with 2 large round tortilla chips (not sure what these are called) and a packet of saltine crackers. I feel like a bag of tortilla chips would have gone nicely with the ceviche because I ran out of the 2 large chips and crackers before I finished the ceviche. The ceviche itself was perfect. Their spinach pineapple agua fresca was refreshing and reminded me of those Odwalla green smoothies. You do taste the spinach but it's sweet and tastes good! I got here around 5:40 on a Friday and there was plenty of outdoor seating available, though it did start to fill up the longer I stayed. You can enter on either side of the back of Aloha.

I'm SO glad he did because it was literally the most flavorful barbacoa I ever had. If you want to try something different (stewed meats) you've gotta come here! Get the consome with MEAT (con carne) their menu is still for the most part in Spanish, as most of their patrons are Spanish-speaking. But don't be shy, they were super hospitable. The tacos are BIG! Two tacos + a consome (soup) was filling for me. Great meal to warm up on a cold day. They have covered seating now too. Give them a try if you want to expand your taco taste buds beyond carne asada. ------------------------ Kind of hidden little place. Maybe I did it wrong and should have ordered a Barbacoa taco but I got a pierna (leg) one instead cause I ordered consumé de Barbacoa thinking I could try two meats. The consume didn't really have chunks of meat in it :( But the pierna taco, although quite wet was flavorful and I usually don't like stewed meat in my tacos. Price is kind of high for a taco ($3 and $3.50 for tongue, cabeza.. and others) they do give u quite a bit of meat though Maybe I need to come back for a barbacoa taco because of all the other stellar reviews..

So disappointed!

They sit out in front of Fernando's Tire Service, friendly folks that can fix your flat in less than the time it takes for you to order and eat a couple Quesabirria Tacos. Their taco sides and salsas are first rate. They had watermelon in the Aguas frescas Jar, perfect for a Oakland Summer day. They are across the street from Garfield Park (23rd and Foothill) near San Antonio Park and a Latinx grocery; so they will always have fresh supplies. Unfortunately, they are going to be a hit, very soon. So, your wait may be a be a bit longer than my first visit.
