    Steak super burritos
    Monica M.

    3.5 stars The local vibe was heavily present. As a first timer, it was nice to see the folks behind the counter know peoples orders without them ordering... we came end of day and didn't get any of the meats we wanted. No more chicharron or chile verde. Another usual customer was surprised to hear chile verde sold out and muttered "but that one never sells out..." Good enough deal to get the burrito and can soda for $14. Burrito itself was good enough. Not something i would crave for though. The tortilla was my favorite part. I wish they tightened the burrito roll. They don't give a lot of meat. The steak one was basically falling apart while eating it. The Carnitas was not chopped up, just few big dry chunks to work on... no slurpability to my burrito which knocks off a star... the salsa was definitely medium to hot heat level spice. I for sure needed the coke to help me finish my burrito without suffering from the heat too much. I will definitely want to try coming again for the chicharron. Hopefully it will be a better experience considering we went closer to the closing time. It's nice that their front is open for folks to just enjoy the space without cars, so that ups the appeal a bit more.

    Mi Burrito in downtown Alameda serves up delicious and authentic Mexican food, primarily burritos. The restaurant was formerly known as Ramiro & Sons Taqueria, where the talented cooks and staff decided to purchase it when the owners retired. The staff is incredibly friendly and eager to assist you with your order. They were the heart and soul of the taqueria, so it's no surprise that it now operates as Mi Burrito, with the staff now owning the place. As a result, they have a long line out the door. Locals flock to Mi Burrito for their authentic Mexican cuisine. The food is prepared right in front of you at the counter, and it's a delightful experience to watch the deliciousness being made. While the restaurant has limited seating inside, there are plenty of outdoor seating options at the community tables.

    Craving for nachos, ended up here. Easy ordering with the cook then then you pay the cashier. Had the chicken nachos. More chicken than chips, it would've been better if the chicken was actually seasoned instead of just plain shredded chicken. I like my nachos soggy so yes it definitely was soggy but it not enough chips. Prices are very affordable. Will come back to try the burritos next.

    Super Quesadilla

    I had a super quesadilla with chile verde. It was tasty! The service was fast though a little inefficient - I repeated my order three times, twice to the cook & once to the cashier. No biggie. The restaurant was clean and had lots of sunlight. And it's right around the corner from Tucker's Ice Cream! If you want to have a nice siesta, eat at both & enjoy your nap! ;)

    Service is great! The guy prepping the burritos was super professional and super nice. Gave me a huge piece of chicharrones while i was waiting. It was mesmerizing watching the master at work. Very chill atmosphere. Everything was clean (maybe too clean lol). Didn't use the restroom.

    Favorite taqueria in town! Super burrito: Spinach tortilla, black beans, chicharrones, and extra chile salsa verde. Extra brown. And a Mexican Cola. I love the entire team here! Thank you for always making me feel welcomed and at home. Love the new decor and setup. It's very lively but most of all I appreciate the grand hospitality. Love you all!!!

    When I lived in Alameda back in the '90's, this was my go to taqueria. Stopped in today for a super taco and it's still the best! Super clean, friendly staff and the best food. In addition, the street out front is now blocked off and there are tables to eat outside. Love it!

    Best taqueria on Alameda!! I got a carnitas super burrito and with tax it was only $13.50. It was also really big!! You'd have to be pretty hungry to be able to finish it. Loved that the proportion of everything was even throughout and that they grilled the outside of the burrito. The super comes with fresh guacamole, sour cream, salsa verde, pico de gallo, pinto beans, rice, and cheese. Also everyone should works here is really nice!

    WOW! Best beef burrito I have had in awhile! In the last month or so, I've been trying mexican food trucks in the Fruitvale area, and none of them can match this Beef Regular Burrito from "Taqueria Mi Burrito" in Alameda. It was Wednesday, just before 12 noon, and I just happen to be walking by and notice "Taqueria Mi Burrito" on Alameda Ave. I have heard about this place, and it's about time I try it. So I went in, looked over the menu, and ordered a Regular Beef Burrito w/ Green Sauce. BTW, you need to upgrade your menu board to handle prices above $9.99. A Reg Burrito is $10.50. not $1.05. Someday, someone will get confused and make a big deal out of it. So I take my beef burrito home. I weigh it, measure it, and slice it open. It's pretty much the same in weight (20-oz) and length (8-9 inches) as other places. What's different is the filling.....lots of beef. Beef, rice, beans and salsa. Good, tasty, and easy to eat. A touch of heat to grab your attention. All those 5-star Yelp reviews are legit! This is great food, prepared by a great restaurant! The restaurant has a spacious interior, with some small tables. There's an outdoor dining area in the street, and that's why Alameda Ave is blocked off. There's a public parking lot right next door, and meter spots on the street. Located on Alameda Ave between Park St & Oak St. Welcome to The City of Alameda, and Support Local Business!

The process is easy, customers order at the window, pay, and wait outside where there are a couple tables to sit at while waiting for their orders.

The other thing I noticed is the add ons really raised the price. The guacamole, etc are all extra charges on the the super burrito which in my eye makes no sense. Either it's a super or regular. Not super needing to have a ton of add ons to make it a super. But how was the burrito? Overall I thought the taste was good. Burrito was on the small side.

This is a local business that I stumbled upon one night when I was highly craving tacos. I love how they still have seating despite the weather, rain or shine. If you're pulling up to this place, you're in luck -- because they have the best taco meats in all of Oakland. Whether you go for al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, or lengua-- they are all generously seasoned and rich, with that juicy, well-browned texture that makes each bite memorable. From what I've heard, Oakland locals often praise the quality and depth of the meats, and you can tell they're working with ingredients that stand up to the hype. The corn tortillas hold up beautifully too, as they were charred, warm at the edges. It's laid-back street food at its best--tacos that hit hard on flavor and make you want to come back for another round. Honestly, I would be coming here to enjoy with minimal fuss, cash in hand, and a big appetite.

They have two trucks, but this one had more people at it, so decided to order from this one. I went with 4 tacos (2 pastor, 2 carnitas) and a super burrito and a can of coke. $36 but my card was charged $39, guessing tax, so lesson learned bring cash. The tacos were pretty good. All the meats were on the sweeter side, but much preferred the carnitas over the pastor. I usually order a super burrito , and what I didn't realize was that a super burrito here means a larger burrito. At first I was like , why is it $20 - then when I got it, it was so massive that it could feed a small family or for me it was multiple meals. The burrito itself was tasty, I thought the carne was good, again a little sweet tasting, but the rice beans and sour cream made the burrito simple yet good. I ate half for one meal, then saved the other for later. Overall, it's one of those spots that I'm glad I tried it, and if I was in the area, I'd try it again.

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.

I even asked the dude on the phone how many bags of chips they give for my order so i know if I need to order more, he literally said two bags of chips, and end up giving me just one bag for a total of 4 "super" tacos and one "super" burrito. Check your order every time before you leave.

Everything looked authentic, fresh, and incredibly appetizing. When it was finally my turn to order, I was especially pleased to see the variety of meats available. The suadero immediately caught my attention. It appeared to be the proper cut of meat--a cut that surprisingly few places in the Bay Area use, and even fewer seem to know how to cook properly. I also noticed that they use a traditional "disco"--the large, deep, circular pan with a dome-shaped center--to cook the suadero. At that point, my mouth was watering. We ordered a burrito, three asada tacos, two suadero tacos, two cabeza tacos (meat from cow's head), one lengua (beef tongue), and one tripa (beef small intestine). I also asked for some of the salsa available behind the counter where they serve your tacos, which turned out to be a delicious house-made habanero salsa. Unfortunately, not all that glitters is gold. As appetizing as everything looked, the meats simply weren't executed as well as I had hoped. The asada was dry and overcooked. The suadero was dry, tough, and overcooked. I was particularly looking forward to the tripa, but instead of the crispy, rich, savory flavor I normally associate with a great tripa taco, these were soft, soggy, fatty, and somewhat bland. One of the biggest disappointments was that all of the different cuts seemed to taste almost exactly the same. Part of the appeal of ordering tacos like suadero, cabeza, lengua, and tripa is experiencing the distinct character of each cut. Unfortunately, those differences were largely lost here. By the end of the meal, the dominant flavor in my mouth was simply grease, which made it difficult for the individual meats to shine. That said, there is a lot to like about Taquería El Paisa. I absolutely loved the décor and overall ambience. The restaurant has a genuine feel of as if you were in a Mercado in Mexico City, and that atmosphere adds a lot to the experience. I also really enjoyed the salsa bar, which offers a great variety of traditional taco accompaniments. The house-made habanero salsa, in particular, is excellent--bright, flavorful, and seriously spicy. A few drops on each taco is more than enough. Seriously, resist the temptation to douse your taco in it! I think Taquería El Paisa has tremendous appeal and a potential for the best taqueria in the Bay Area. The atmosphere is authentic, the selection of meats is impressive, and the presentation initially builds a lot of anticipation. What I would love to see is a little more attention given to the cooking techniques and handling of each individual cut. Better control of the cooking time, texture, and perhaps work on mastering how  the suadero, tripa, lengua, and cabeza can each maintain their own distinctive flavor and character. There's definitely something special here waiting to come through. With some refinement in the execution of the meats, Taquería El Paisa could really elevate the taco experience and turn that first impression of excitement into an equally impressive meal. Side note, is there a bathroom at this restaurant? I couldn't find one.
