Great spot... very good food!! The service was outstanding!! Enjoy this spot... It's worth your time!!

I wasn't aware that such a good taqueria was around until my partner showed me a local Reddit post of best Mexican places around the area. It's located in the back of a supermarket. Quite a little hidden gem! We got there around 5:30ish on a Friday and there were a few people waiting around for their takeout orders. They have a fairly large space next to the market, a pretty big kitchen, and a few tables with plenty of space in-between. I ordered two regular tacos for myself - one Taco de Lengua and one Asada. My partner ordered a Taco de Lengua, Asada, and a Cabeza. We shared a Chips and Bean Dips and a Jamaica Agua Fresca. The bean dip was plentiful. All the chips were fried crispy, but didn't seem that oily and the bean dip was a perfect balance of texture - one soft and mushy (in a nice way), and the other crispy and crackly. As for my tacos, they're topped with a bit of cilantro and onions and absolutely delicious. Plenty of flavorful meat and I like how even though the taco shells were soft, they didn't break apart too easily. Pretty happy about finding such a local gem around the area! Service was nice and friendly. Taqueria Acatlan might just be our new favorite taco spot around San Leandro. We'll be back again for sure! I can't wait to try some of their other menu items. read more

Okay... I don't usually write reviews but I HAD to for this place. Taqueria Acatlán has the best burrito de asada I've ever had in my life. I'm not even being dramatic. It's seriously so, so good. The carne asada is perfectly seasoned and super flavorful, and it's not dry at all. Every bite just tastes fresh and well put together. The tortilla is soft, the portions are solid, and everything just blends together perfectly. It's one of those burritos where you're halfway through and already planning when you're coming back. I've tried a lot of burritos, and this one honestly stands out. If you're thinking about getting the burrito de asada -- just do it. You won't regret it. read more

Didn't pack lunch today, decided to stop by this place. I ordered 2 tacos al pastor , 1 chorizo and 2 labio (lip, hard to find). I did notice a few interesting things 1. Bathroom was out of service (not per se bad just if someone else reviews this place after me time how long it takes to be fixed?) understandable if it is actually been taken care of. 2. Music was great but remember that music subscription is a tax write off. 3. The don't serve chips / nachos but quite unique to see duritos. Staff was friendly but now the most important : the labio tacos were amazing!!!!! Almost like eating beef butter. Loved the Al pastor and the chorizo as well. Great tacos, few things to work on. 4.5/5 read more

Been at Kaiser hospital close by for a week now. Ordering from here was a good idea. It was close and quick and easy to pick up. The salsa made such a difference on the burrito I ordered. It was already good but the extra salsa they gave me to put in it was the game changer. The lady there was pretty nice too I asked for a pepper and she had one grilled for me. The place is behind the grocery store so has it own seating area too. read more

Tried Taqueria Acatlan for the 1st time and ordered to go. Got 2 Tacos de asada and a Mexican taco. I personally thought the tacos with cilantro and onions were a little small and the steak lack any flavor. The Mexican taco came with grilled cheese, asada, pico de gallo, crema, guacamole, whole beans and queso fresco was just okay. Same with the meat no flavor. read more

Taqueria Acatlan opened recently where Taqueria La Laguna once was. The seating & infrastructure essentially the same. Same green walls. Unknown if pics are new. Banners hanging from ceiling is new. Order, pay at counter. Food brought to table. 10ish minutes. Festive Mexican music in background. 6ish tables inside. Large parking lot in back. Offerings: (Mexican) burritos, tacos, quesadillas, tortas, drinks, menudo, pozole, chilaquiles, huevos Rancheros... Slurps/sips: Menudo (16) was asked if I wanted pig feet. "Yes" I said "Who doesn't". Cashier basically said white customers. -soup is basically well boiled tripe & pig feet in a prepped soup with onion, garlic, water, red Chile sauce, garlic, bay leaves. -toppings ready to add to soup: Mexican oregano, cilantro, lime squeeze, onions... -soup very tasty but not chili hot. Probably paprika used instead of chili. Mex. Chili sauce on table. Did not add. -pig feet meat & tripe very tender & juicy. Pig skin almost falling off the bone. -4 steamed corn tortillas good but harden when cooled. Taco de lengua (4) menu lists as 3.50 -salsa a cross between red & green. Not too spicy. -garnishes of radish, jalepenos, lime squeeze. Topped with onions, cilantro. Lotsa juicy, tender morsels of lengua (cow tongue). Comped with fried pinwheels which were initially crispy but became soggy later. 4ish stars. Semi-Worthy Quantity : very good, comparable to others. Quality: ok. Corn tortillas harden too fast. Pinwheels got soggy. service very good. read more

It seems this place is a small and super friendly family run spot hidden behind the super mercado plaza. Currently it looks like they only have about 5-6 or so tables, but they were not too busy when we went, so we were able to dine in. Everyone was really nice, from taking our order to bringing out the food. Even the Dad, which apparently is also the menu creator and the chef in the kitchen, came out to check on us. It looks like they are working on expanding their menu (a new addition that had just been added today, that I'll have to try next time, is a chilaquiles burrito-sounds so droolworthy), but I was really going for the classic chilaquiles today. The chilaquiles were great-generous with the carne, refried beans, crema, avocado, and cotija on top. The chips itself kept its crunch and the sauce had just enough spiciness. My husband tried the tacos and really enjoyed them. He tried the pollo, pastor, and asada - his favorite was the asada. They also have glass sodas here so of course he had to get one of those. Looking forward to coming back here again! read more

Got to try this new spot for Sunday lunch. You can find it behind the grocery market or go through on the other side of the building. You order before you take a seat. There are lots of tables to sit at. We ordered an al pastor super quesadilla and a pollo super burrito and a jarritos. They ran out of pozole by noon that day. They gave us some duros while we waited for our food. There is self serve water. Food came out quickly and was flavorful & fresh! The meats were tender. I love they gave guac with the quesadilla. The salsas are fine, nothing too crazy but had a good level of spice. They checked in on us a few times and service is friendly, place is clean. Nice to support a local spot. read more

Excellent service. We got to try a bunch of different tacos. We got pollo, asada, pastor, lengua and the shrimp tacos. The asada was very tender and not dried at all. The lengua was super tender, the pastor and pollo were ok. Guacamole and chips for $7 what a great deal. Had the super shrimp tacos, loved that there is cheese on the tortillas to make their crispy. Will definitely be back for the lengua. read more

My first time here 4 weeks ago and the food was delicious. Great flavor, not dry or over cooked. I had a super quesadilla. I was a bit hesitant at first because I thought this was only Mercado. But in the very back is the restaurant. Came back two weeks later and ordered carne asada burrito. This time it was ehhh. Rice was mushy and flavor was off. I'll try again one more time. But man it's expensive. Hopefully the third time will validate if it's worth the price to keep coming back. read more

Can tell they really care about their food. Burrito was amazing with the grilled cheese. Also the best guacamole I've had.

My oh my, what a hidden gem this taco spot is! If you walk from the parking lot you would be walking into a Mercado/Market Shop, but its in the back! I thought I was lost or the address did not exist. The tacos were excellent! I plan to be back with my co-workers/team for Taco Tuesday fix! It feels clean, welcoming and the ambiance feels great! I should have snapped a pic of my tacos lol I'll be for sure back soon! read more

Amazing food. Came here and didnt expect much as it is located inside a small Mexican market shop. The dining area is very small but effective. I ordered two tacos and a burrito. The meat was fantastic and incredible. I mean when the burrito is cooked woth grilled cheese on the outside i damn near feinted. Was soo good. Definately a spot to go. Dont let looks decisive you as this place is truly a hidden GEM! read more

One of the best burritos I've ever tried! I absolutely love the cheese crust and it's a perfect size with the perfect amount of filling. They were able to customize it to my liking and the customer service was great! Will definitely be returning. Placed a phone order and was told it would take about 15-20 minutes, sure enough when I showed up 15 minutes later, it was ready. Can't wait to go back for more! read more

From the tacos to the nachos, the food are great! The service is wonderful and very friendly. The place is cozy!

Food is fantastic. The family that own and run it are the absolute nicest people. Tony, the owner , will most likely come and say thank you and ask if everything was ok if you dine in. Not a pretentious place. Just great food and good times. read more

Hands down, one of the best taco spots I've ever been to! Everything we ordered was delicious, but the burrito absolutely stole the show -- they melt cheese on the outside and it adds this incredible crispy, gooey layer that takes it to another level. The service was warm, attentive, and welcoming -- you can really tell it's a family-owned place. They care about what they're serving and it shows in every bite. I left feeling satisfied but not overly full or sluggish, which is rare after a big burrito! Love supporting local family businesses like this. I'll definitely be back -- this place is a gem. read more

Eating here honestly feels like sitting at my mom's dinner table again. The food is so flavorful in every bite, and the way they cook the meat so tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned it shows how much care they put into it. It's rare to find a restaurant that makes you feel that comfortable and at home, but this one does it. Every time I come, I leave happy, full, and already planning my next visit. Also love supporting a small family owned business! read more
