DON'T EAT AT THIS PLACE!!!!…read more I used to love this place. However, the burrito I got last week ago gave me severe food poisoning. That was the only meal I had that day so I know for a fact that it was this burrito that caused the poisoning. I was out of commission for the whole week with constant vomiting and diarrhea. This place should not be serving food without a health inspection.

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

A new Quesabirria Taco stand for the San Antonio District of Oakland…read more This one has a lot of promise and is worth a try, especially if you're in the neighborhood and hungry or need a tire repaired. 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.

Went in with zero expectations and left planning my next visit…read more Stopped by Tacos Mi Rancho near Lake Merritt and honestly didn't know what to expect. From the outside, it looks like a straightforward taco truck, but wow was I surprised. I ordered the Carnitas Super Taco, which came loaded with lettuce, cheese, cilantro, onions, sour cream, and guacamole. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. My only complaint? You only get one taco per order because I definitely could've eaten another. The Kid ordered the Carne Asada Super Taco and before we even pulled away, she was asking for a second one. That's usually a pretty good sign. We also tried the horchata and jamaica, and both were delicious. The horchata was creamy and flavorful, while the jamaica was refreshing and not overly sweet. What surprised me most was how quickly they got the food out, especially considering how popular this spot seems to be. A few things to know: * Cash or Venmo only * Parking can be a challenge, but it's worth it * Keep an eye out for the new speed cameras in the area Their hours are another plus: Open daily, 9:30am- midnight Overall, this was one of those pleasant surprises that reminds you not to judge a place by appearances. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

Iconic taco truck near Lake Merritt. Perfect for late nights but perhaps better in memory than…read morereality. The food here is more like 3.5 stars -- but there are other great options around. The flavors are rich and laid on thick. We ordered a veggie burrito, a bean and cheese burrito with rice added, and three tacos (carne, pollo asado, and Cameron's). The carne melted in my mouth, since it was rich with rendered fat, and the tortillas were crisped around the outside to melt and seal the layer of cheese inside. Probably our best overall dish was the bean-cheese-rice burrito -- covered in their salsas and peppers -- since it balanced all the ingredients and textures. On the other hand, the veggie burrito brought the flavor, but between the crema, pico, guacamole, and cheese it ended up soggy halfway through and the tortilla threatened to come loose. The shrimp and chicken were forgettable, and the tortillas come crispy off the griddle but they are damp by the time you walk anywhere to sit. What captures the truck in a nutshell are the chips they serve, covered in a seasoning that replicates Doritos flavor. Sometimes that is exactly what you need. But you can get it elsewhere easily too.
