    Two Street Tacos
    Frances C.

    Lively vibes combined with freshness Different twist to their nachos with fresh and creamy cheeses in top that compliment with protein of choice. We had the beef and it was sweet, savory, and tender. The street tacos were equally good. Great portion size. Will definitely return.

    I love when I can rely heavily on a Yelp post to guide me to a place of authenticity. I was hungry and wanted place with something that offered a drink. I immediately logged into Yelp to discover this Cantina. It had a variety of options for me to choose from and a beautiful drink. It was an instant yes for me. The moment I entered I was greeted by a very kind server. He even commented on my green sweatsuit. The experience itself was amazing. The location is perfect on a beautiful day and the setting was just what I needed for a nice early afternoon bite. I would rate this place and food a 10/10. Definitely will be back again!

    This is such a cute little quick service spot in Oakland. It was a little confusing at first as the lady at the front told us we could sit wherever but didn't mention we needed to go up and order at the register so we sat for a bit before realizing that. I got the Xingones nachos and 2 tacos. The food was delicious! The mango passion fruit agua fresca was also really tasty! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

    We don't live in Oakland, but we go to a lot of shows at the Fox, and every time we're in the city we go to Xingones! We've been going here since their old location that they shared with a bar, and we are so happy for them that they have expanded to a new location! The tacos and wings are our go to, I love the pollo tacos, nachos and burritos. There is a spicy sauce for the wings that is delicious. The service is friendly and the place is lively. They love sports here and have all the games on the TVs. They also make a great cocktail and michelada. We like to sit at the bar and chat with the bartender, we have always felt very welcomed here, great spot!

    2 piece wings and waffles
    Levon G.

    First time and the food was great. Ordered 2 piece chicken and waffle. The 2 pieces of chicken can be random or your choice and made to order pieces, takes a 15 mins. The chicken (wings) were juicy and the fry was light and crispy. Comes with two waffles, they were a little doughy for me but they were good overall. Hot sauce and syrup were brought to the table. The vibe was great, full bar and family friendly, I would bring my young kids (2 and 5) here. Or even come here for a date night.

    California Burrito
    Angela C.

    I got the California Burrito with Carnitas and everything in it. It was a very well-packed burrito. Nicely sealed tortilla and wrapped in aluminum foil. I didn't have to rip apart layers and layers of aluminum foil since there was only one. The fries in the burrito are crinkle cut so there's an extra nice texture to it when you bite into it. The flavors were good but the sauce helps supplement it alot. It wasn't a very 'wet' burrito which I appreciated and the default does not come with rice which I also appreciated. The carnitas could have used a little more flavor but it was still nice and juicy. I couldn't help but finish the whole thing. Would come back to try other items!

    Great food, beautiful restaurant. Always good service, I've been here twice so far. Found them on yelp and the reviews were true this place is super good. I recommend the burritos, but I've also tried the chicken and waffles 10/10 Will be back to try the drinks Such a beautiful atmosphere

    I've heard great things about the wings here at Xingones so I finally made some time to try it out for myself! Xingones offers fast casual dining and also has a bar. We opted for dine-in so we ordered at the front, took our number, and seated ourselves. Their decor is very vibrant yet feels cozy with how it's set up. There are some high top tables, couch seats, and normal tables. On the back wall, you'll see their logo, a great photo-op if you come with friends! This restaurant would be great for large gatherings as well. I'm not sure if they were understaffed when I was there, but it took a few minutes for someone to come take our order at the front. Once we ordered, we grabbed some water at the self-serve station and waited for about ten minutes. The food came out pretty quick! Our Xingones Nachos came out first, I was very excited to try the Picadillo on the nachos. It's one of my childhood favorites! The nachos were $14 and it came with a pretty decent serving, definitely enough for two people. It was topped with picadillo (stir fried ground beef and veggies), cotija cheese, sour cream, cilantro, onion, and had red salsa on the side. I'm not sure what kind of salsa it was, but it was pretty bland and rather oily. It did offer a nice contrast and character to the richness of the nachos which was nice. The nachos were plentiful, but rather than the toppings being layers between the chips, it was just smacked on top. So, once we got through the top layer of chips/topping we were left with a bunch of plain chips. The chips itself were very crispy and not too oily. For the wings, we got a Large (12 pieces) with two flavors (citrus hot and spicy Korean) which came with two ranch cups, carrots, and celery for $23. You could pay a few extra bucks for all flats or all drums but we like a nice variety. For me, the star of the wing platter was the ranch-- I really enjoyed how much dill they used in it! The wings were obviously fried, but were not crunchy at all and the meat was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor soaked into the meat itself even though the sauce was evenly coated. It also didn't feel like the wings were fried to order, but I could be wrong. Thankfully, the citrus hot sauce made the wings somewhat enjoyable. It was bright, flavorful, and seasoned well. The hot korean sauce was too one-note for me. The spice levels were both very mild, but that's okay! I am truly hoping it was just an off day for Xingones, as many of my friends have told me they come here just for the wings. Since it's down the road from me, I'll definitely come back to see what the rest of their menu has to offer.

    Nacho fries
    Priscilla Y.

    Super cute place, would definitely come back. I would like to try other food items. We had just finished eating so we weren't hungry enough to order more. The espresso martini was mid... not bold enough in coffee flavor. The way it is set up is you order before you sit, the gentlemen helping was a bit rude. Not sure what we could've done to get response with a bit of attitude. My friends also felt that way. But that won't deter me from coming back bc i can tell the vibes would be great.

    Burrito, Street Dog w/fries, and side of large fries

    Great atmosphere, food, and people. I had dinner here with my family and we enjoyed it. We had the chicken wings, California burrito, Street dog & fries, and street tacos. Prices are reasonable and food was good.

    3 Piece Fried Chicken & Waffles and buffalo Wings (SMALL)
    Carina L.

    Quality has decreased the handful of times I have visited since it moved. Unfortunate! I have had tacos, fried chicken and today the CA burrito. Huge disappointment. The burrito was hella loose and wasn't even hot or warm to the touch. My cheese WAS NOT melted. I hate burritos that are not hot enough to melt shredded cheese and when it feels like contents are falling all over when you bite. Note to the owner: love you, love your restaurant and hope you work on the consistency!

    Spicy Korean and Hella Hot 12 piece wings
    Susana L.

    They Moved to 4th Street a few months back the cashier said. Off the bat the food is really good and they haveBig portions too. I was skeptical about the spicy Korean and hella hot wings but they were really good! The Cesar salad was alright. I liked that it was a big portions for the price but I think it could've used more cheese and croutons. I was given the choice if I wanted to switch the shrimp out for chicken no extra charge. They weren't stiff on the chicken portion which was really well seasoned. Definitely coming back to try their chicken and waffles

    Curling game

    So it's pretty obvious I love this place! I've even followed them over here to their 4th street location since they are no longer open over on Washington. No surprise there since the area is rapidly declining everyday bring more and more unhoused who seem to have drug issues. It's pretty sad to see because the area could be so great it has so much potential. So here we are again and I can't even lie they have the best fries! Crispy and delicious especially with the orange sauce! I could drink that stuff it's so good. Loving the new location too! Great space even more spacious, clean and just overall freshness! If you haven't already give this place a try! Especially on a game night where it's sure to be packed and all the TV's on!

    Amazing creative tacos with so much flavor!…read more Tacos Oscar never misses. The vibe is super casual and cute with outdoor seating and a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a laid-back meal. We tried a variety of tacos, and everything was fresh and full of bold flavors. The standout for me was definitely the beef options and the sauces really take everything to the next level. You can tell they put a lot of thought into every component. Even the veggie tacos are incredible, not just an afterthought. Everything feels creative but still comforting at the same time. Portions are satisfying without feeling too heavy. Service was quick and friendly, and the whole experience felt easy and enjoyable. It's the kind of place you want to keep coming back to because the menu changes and there's always something new to try. Highly recommend if you're in Oakland and craving elevated tacos done right!

    Upscale taco joint with thoughtfully crafted tacos and quick service…read more Each element of each dish elevates its street food counterpart. We ordered pork shoulder, chicken, and charred broccoli tacos, as well as a tostada with elote and an agua fresca. The braised pork pulled aprt tenderly to reveal the chiles that imparted their subtle flavor. The mayonnaise spread thinly across the tostada was equal parts spicy and tangy, and almost too intense if not for the corn and squash layered onto it. (Perhaps the veggies were slightly under-seasoned to balance the mayo? I was a bit underwhelmed by them.) The agua de melon was syrupy in texture with a smoothness you don't often find. If there is one caveat, it is the price tag. Get yourself two tacos and call it a light meal, otherwise the tab starts adding up!

    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.

They got the steak fries right, but instead of steak burritos we received two chicken burritos. We called to let them know the order was incorrect and the guy who answered insisted that we ordered chicken. We most definitely didn't. He said he would replace them and he asked that we bring the chicken burritos back. This was already an inconvenience because we live 15 minutes away, so gas was wasted getting all the way over there and back. When they were picked up, instead of owning up to his mistake, the guy still insisted that we ordered chicken. Again, we did not. While we finally had what we ordered, the steak burritos were smaller and barely had any meat in them, while the incorrect order were chock full of chicken. So, needless to say, we will not be back.

    Last time I visited Tacos Sinaloa was in 2025. I ordered a carne asada burrito, and was left…read moresomewhat dissatisfied. I'd thought the place had lost its touch, but maybe it was just an off day. Today in May of 2026 I've managed to visit while it's a slow day, and I was pleasantly satisfied with my food. I ordered a Carnitas burrito, and it was just as delicious as I'd remembered it one decade ago. While I was eating the first half of my burrito I was thinking "this is good, but burritos are good.. is it better than other burritos I've had, and why?" Something is different about burritos at Tacos Sinaloa, the food reflects that of some regional tacos trucks scattered throughout the East bay, but they're very distinct in how well they're capable of doing this style of Mexican food. As I said earlier- burritos are good. I think they are good because everything tastes good together, but not all burritos are created equal. The first thing that stood out to me about my burrito was the tortilla. It's not your standard tortilla, and it's nothing extravagant, but it seemed intentional. The tortilla is softer, thinner, and it holds up, but it's not chewy. It's there and it soaks up the oils and it doesn't take away from anything. In my experience, a bad tortilla can make a burrito less enjoyable. This tortilla adds in that it's barely there and it's pleasant because it soaks up the flavors without detracting. On the insides, the beans and rice can give or take away depending on where you get your burrito from. At Tacos Sinaloa on this particular day, the beans and rice did not take away from the burrito. The pinto beans were plum and creamy, and tasted like pintos. No nonsense- they added because they didn't subtract, I could go on about grainy beans or starchy over seasoned bean liquid, but NONE OF THAT HERE. The rice had perfect texture. It almost like 'al dente', but not in a chewy way, it had just enough rice texture and didn't get in the way of the other ingredients. It was mildly seasoned with your classic Mexican rice (aromatic tomato broth like flavor). No nonsense, no unnecessary spices, not over saturated in liquid, or turned to mush. Just good simply season rice. Cheese and sour cream- Salty Mexican cheese, presumably Oaxaca or something similar. Adds little salty flavor explosions throughout the burrito. Sour cream, added tangy acidity that cuts through the fatty ness making it taste more lively. Of coarse, the lovely creaminess. If you're not having your burrito with these I'm very sorry for you. The star of the show- The Carnitas here is just done right. It's not over seasoned with anything, it just tastes like melty delicious braised pork shoulder, then fried to accentuate it with crispy mallard bits that surprise you throughout the burrito. Towards the end of my experience I came to the conclusion that what makes a Tacos Sinaloa burrito good is that its ingredients forward- each ingredient tastes good on its own, and that can't be said for all burritos. It's not a burrito for the sake of being a burrito. All the ingredients seem intentionally chosen so that none get in the way of one another. I want to say they make the meat the star of the show, but even if you were to have a bean and rice and cheese + sour crème burrito here it would be an exceptional burrito, which is a testament to their culinary philosophy. Last but not least- yes they have salsa, and of coarse it's good, and I love that they give lemon slices with your food - it's another small intentional detail that they offer lemon instead of lime. Carnitas burrito 5/5. Sinaloa overall 4/5 because of inconsistency.

    I've been passing by Los Moles for years and never stopped in until we had a graduation dinner…read morethere for my niece. The main reason I never went before was the parking situation, which honestly can be a little challenging, but for this visit we found parking down the block and around the corner. The short walk after dinner ended up being nice anyway. We had reservations, although we did wait about 15 extra minutes while another party finished their meal. My family member pointed out they were enjoying drinks, so that probably added some time. The waiter was very friendly, attentive, and clearly trying to get us seated as quickly as possible. Water was brought to the table right away, and our drink order was taken promptly. I ordered the chicken salad and was pleasantly surprised to learn the mango vinaigrette dressing did not contain oils, since I personally avoid seed oils. The salad was fresh and delicious. Some of my family members ordered the buffet, which looked incredible. At first it seemed like too much food for me that day, but once I saw everything included, I started thinking maybe I should have ordered it too since it was only about seven dollars more. They brought complimentary chips, guacamole, and salsa to the table, and everything was so flavorful. The guacamole was especially delicious, and they happily refilled the chips several times. I finally understood why the restaurant is called "Los Moles" because their mole sauces are outstanding. I got to try some from my son's plate, and it definitely made me want to come back and explore more of the different mole options. They also offer vegetarian choices, which is great. Although I am very particular about cooking surfaces, my food is cooked on and in, the Mexican coffee which was heated in some type of who knows what metal, had a good flavor. It inspired me to re-create it at home. Another standout for me was the freshly made corn tortillas served with the meals. They were soft, warm, and incredibly good. I also tried the beans, which were full of flavor. Overall, this restaurant really stood out in my memory, and I definitely want to return someday to try more moles.

You can go back for seconds (or thirds) as many times as you like, and every bite was packed with bold, flavorful goodness. The horchata was a refreshing highlight too ~ creamy and spot-on. The busy, fun atmosphere made it an ideal spot to bring kids, with non-stop energy and satisfied smiles all around. We'll definitely be back for more of this taco feast! Highly recommend.

Come to my surprise since I am not a big fan of curry they made a fan out of me.for serving one of the best Chicken curry with middle bowl ever. The sour mustard add a bit of tanginess to the creamy coconut and curry flavor and that juicy chilcken thigh got me.to want more. Very few places that would make me.say j need to go back.for this one dish and the chicken curry was the winner for me.

    Massive bean and cheese burrito!…read more Fast and friendly service; greeted me and let me know they will be right with me. Points! The flavor, portion for price, and wonderful agua frescas (watermelon, my fav!) consumed it so fast I didn't even get to the picture lol Will definitely be back! Thanks!

    I ordered from Todos Cantina via DoorDash after reading about chef Nolberto Martinez and his…read morefamily's culinary reputation in the Bay Area. Given that background, what arrived at my door was honestly shocking. The burrito was cold, greasy, bizarrely thick and lumpy, and filled with some of the lowest-quality meat I've ever been served by a restaurant. Multiple bites literally had to be spit out. On top of that, the advertised ingredients (sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole) were completely missing. What arrived was basically a dense tube of cheap rice and rubbery meat. At first I assumed this must have been a one-off disaster. Then I started reading the Yelp reviews. And suddenly a pattern emerged: stale chips, stale tacos, food making people sick, delivery orders arriving wrong or poorly made, hostile service interactions, customers being spoken to aggressively, and an overall sense that quality control has completely collapsed. One reviewer even described an employee asking if they "wanted to fight." Another described disputing charges over incorrect orders because the food quality was so poor. What makes this especially disappointing is that the restaurant presents itself as a serious modern Bay Area Mexican concept tied to an admired culinary name. Instead, the actual execution feels careless, inconsistent, and deeply below the standards the restaurant markets itself on. Restaurants can survive a bad night. What they cannot survive is the perception that nobody cares anymore. Right now, that is exactly the impression Todos Cantina gives off. Frankly, this is an embarrassment to the legacy and reputation associated with the Martinez name. I truly hope someone steps in and turns this place around, because based on my experience (and many others here) things have gone badly off the rails.
