We asked for a BBQ style cuisine so he made pulled pork sliders, caprese sticks and bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese. Absolutely to die for! We were so happy that we hired him again for my grandmothers bday dinner a few months later. It was a formal sit down dinner for 10 people and he not only cooked an delicious meal with duck roulade that blew everyone's mind, but he also was a wonderful addition to the event. Very professional and fun to talk to. I definitely recommend him for your next party or event!

They weren't busy so we got our food in less than 10 minutes. The food was quite tasty and filling! We've been getting their chicharron burrito since the late 2000's when they were located at the gas station parking lot in San Pablo near Raley's. The burrito is usually a hit or miss when it comes to crunch and chew, but consistently flavorful. We sometimes request for it to be "extra crunchy" which can often translate to the perfect crunchiness or end up being chewy and dry. Regardless, this is still one of our favorite burritos around our area so we always get it. The carne asada in the quesadilla was well seasoned with a hint of smoke. They didn't go cheap on the cheese as well! Horchata was refreshing and not overly sweet. My only gripe about this place is the overcharge on my credit card. ALWAYS ask for a receipt when using your card! I was overcharged $6 for no reason. The amount I was asked to pay was different than the actual card charge. It's definitely not a card processing fee either. I felt the guy taking orders gave himself additional tip without my authorization even though I already gave a couple bucks in their tip jar. Definitely not cool at all despite my continued support and loyalty to their business. Then again, I took it as a lesson learned and won't stop me from coming back again! :)

I think the problem is that I couldn't get past the lack of a restroom in the area. They had some portables, but they are making food and we are supposed to eat it. Where are they washing their hands? This area is also pretty cold so if you go, make sure that you have a coat, scarf and hat. I'll never make that mistake again. But because of the cold, I didn't want to eat outside so our food got a cold, but it was good. My husband liked the food he got, but gluten free options are super limited. They get a third star because of the bar! Now there was only one person working there and that's fine because he could go get a snack or something and come back to pour drinks, but again. The restroom issue. Where does he wash his hands, what if he has a cold and sneezes into them, and so on. That's where my mind went. The vendors are quite nice and were helpful and weren't mean when they answered my GF questions and I appreciate that. So, this is like the little engine that could. I can see that it is a gathering spot for people and they have music and speakers which is cool. So I saw and felt a community vibe and people really seemed to like going. If I lived in the area, I may try it a bit more, but in all honestly, Oakland Museum's Off the Grid event is everything I wish this was. I'm sure that they will get there, but don't want to hang out while they figure it out.

I started shopping for a sno cone machine rental yesterday afternoon, when I thought about hiring a food truck with cold desserts. I called Lisa last minute (last evening) to see if there was even a chance she could come today. She was able to squeeze us in between two other events. She showed up as committed, right at noon, and was ready to serve up ice within a minute of parking. The team loved the child-like opportunity to dispense and mix their own syrups. I loved that there were sugar-free options. The cups are large servings, the syrups are flavorful without being overly sweet, and the truck is festive in how it's wrapped. It's a whole vibe. Even though Lisa had to get to another appointment, she didn't rush, and was attentive to each person. She kept me abreast of how many cups we had left, so we could make sure to get to everyone. The whole experience was reasonably priced for the experience. We would have paid at least half of what we spent to rent a machine, and then had to buy ice and bottles of syrup if we wanted much variety. And we would have been spending our time serving sno cones rather than enjoying the experience. Having Kona Ice come was well worth the price paid. Paying was also easy, as she takes Apple Pay, Venmo, etc. Thanks, Lisa, for making this surprise possible! We'll see you again, for sure!

Awesome food and great service!…read more Some friends catered from Vatos Tacos for a pre-wedding luncheon for some friends in their backyard. The mom and uncle of the owner showed up early to set up and start cooking. They were professional, kind, and very friendly. I was stoked that they cooked everything fresh on site and didn't just have food in warmers. We got to choose among proteins and veggies, and the salsa bar was awesome. Kids and adults alike really enjoyed the churros too! They boxed up all leftovers after the event, so we ate tacos for leftovers and froze a bunch too for later. The only thing one of my friends said was that paying extra for salad wasn't worth it because the salad was just from a bag. Everything was delicious, and I ate too much! I highly recommend Vatos Tacos for your catering needs!

There was no line to order, and it took about 10-15 minutes for our food to be ready. Service was standard and sufficient. We got the small-size seafood paella which was served warm and quite delicious. It came with spanish rice, green beans, calamari, shrimp, and mussels which were overcooked and very tiny in the shells. We also got several empanadas (mushroom with mozzarella, spinach with mozzarella, and garlic shrimp with mozzarella). They were served at room temperature from the display case in the window, and they weren't labeled clearly so we had to bite into each one to figure out which was which. All three flavors were tasty nonetheless. My favorite dish was the order of prawn croquettes which came with salad on the side. These were served hot and freshly made, a nicely seasoned savory and creamy filling with large chunks of shrimp inside, and the breading fried to a perfect consistency. Yummy!

Looks the same from the outside. Inside could use some updating, but I always take it home. da Grub: went with the tried an true Double Catch; Cod & Prawns w/ mushrooms & fries. At 1st glance it looks pretty much the same... munch, and yep, very familiar Cod, very crispy outside, soft, white, tender inside. Prawns were nice size, about 2 bites per; mushrooms also crisp/tender. All atop some fries... and these were the only discernable difference, these were fries, not traditional pub style english "chips" as before - ok, but not as sturdy as chips which are typically stubby and thicker, and somehow stay crispy. Not a deal breaker though... the quality of the Cod & Prawns is most important and still shines through. da Service: Greeted warmly, nice lady, 15 min wait, packed in open cardboard tray so things stay crispy, you get a container each of malt, tartar & the cocktail/horseradish sauce (yummy, I use all 3 in every bite!). 5 Stars for quality; it's a bit pricey, but when it comes to seafood, don't skimp. Old school hole inda wall feel, with friendly service. You can't eat this too often, it's a cheat meal... but when you get the craving, this hits the spot, so come get it.
