    Strawberry horchata
    Sydney J.

    I saw Yoyo's vending at one of the West Oakland / Prescott night markets, so I decided to try their strawberry horchata, 24oz, which cost $10. It mostly just tasted like horchata; there are actual strawberry pieces in it which I appreciated it, but overall I wanted the strawberry flavor to be a little more prominent and the price was a little on the high side for a drink.

    10/10 on the aguas frescas. Came back the next day and tried the frescandia y pepino agua fresca. Very refreshing!!

    Love this place but the hot Cheeto esquite bowl had barely any corn in it ): and the nachos bowl could have way more cheese in it too):

    Juices, crepe, snacks, salsa macha and more!

    I happened to stumble upon Yoyo's Botaneria as I was picking up Chai Thai on the same block. Place looked very inviting with outdoor seating, bright and welcoming interior. This first visit I decided to get a mango-passionfruit agua fresca...refreshing on a hot day but a tad sweet (for me) so let the ice melt a bit. Nevertheless, delicious. Yo-yo's Botaneria offers varies sweet and savory snacks with their popular items: YUCATECAN MARQUESITAS - Mexican crepe, filled with different sweet fillings, including condensed milk or queso de bola (edam cheese) and rolled. EMPAPELADOS - protein (shrimp, bacon, asada, chorizo or veggie) on a base of corn, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, butter, lime, salsa macha. NOTE: If you have a nut allergy, they have a salsa macha using peanuts vs pepitas. This Mexican condiment is spicy, smoky, nutty made with a base of oil, dried chilies, garlic, and salt. Items I'll need to try next time along with their strawberry horchata! The gentleman at the counter was truly helpful, friendly and patient explaining their offerings. They've been at the new location on Mission for about 3 months moving from a kitchen incubator located on E14th. Now they have their own brick-and-mortar in a beautiful space. Plenty of indoor and outdoor (some shaded) seating with a private lot and street parking. Great spot to enjoy your treats with this warm weather.

    So you know when you have those moments when you are exposed to something new and you think, where has this been all my life? That just happened to me here at Yoyo's. First, the place is so cute, bright and fresh. The decor is adorable! They have a great patio for a sunny day. I ordered the pineapple guava Agua fresco and it was really good. Then I had the Camarones Empapolado. It was rich in flavor with plenty of mushrooms, peppers, shrimp and corn - topped with mayo and cotija cheese. Lastly I had to have a marquesita with strawberries and Nutella. I was so quick to get into that that I forgot to take a picture. The service was great! Super friendly. I cannot wait to come back and try all the other things on the menu, especially the different micheladas.

    Found this place through TikTok! When social media leads you to great places! Yay. We came to try their Marquesitas & then also tried their Fresada. I will admit that the Fresada was not my favorite. It was a bit sour and just didn't hit the right spot for me. The Marquesita was great! Mine, somehow, was a bit crunchier than the other person who I was with. Not a big deal but I just had to be more careful. This place is really cute, it's pretty spacious. They have some outdoor seating & will bring you your order. They also give you the Marquestias in these cute ceramic containers. The presentation is great. I didn't have a chance to interact much with the staff, but the cashier left a great impression. She was kind and welcoming. She helped us figure out what we wanted and made sure we really knew what each item was. This was a great experience and i'm so happy to see their business thriving and flourishing!

    Banana Marquesita and Piña Guava
    Charis V.

    Wanted something sweet and found this place on yelp. Not busy when we came in and it was clean and cute, all the staff were very nice especially the cashier. I asked about the Marquesitas and he said that they ran out of strawberries so he gave me other suggestions and I ended up getting one with nutella and banana, and my fiancé got the guava pineapple agua fresca. I thought the marquesita was just gonna be a crepe rolled up but it tasted a little different and the texture was crunchy (be careful i accidentally cut the roof of my mouth) but it was still good, I think next time I wanna try one with the cheese because it was very similar to a crepe but crunchy. The guava drink was so good too, we would definitely come back and try some other things on the menu.

    The meat, mushroom& corn dish. So delicious!!!
    Tina J.

    Tasty food items. Highly recommend the meat& corn dish, so yummy. Nutella & banana, can't go wrong. Ultra clean & modern looking. Friendly service.

    You must tey the seasonal items! The unique flavors of coconut atole and nuez atole and the soft tamales are a must. Stop by before they go away!

    Suculento Empapalado and Piña Guava
    May A.

    I've normally intended to write a review but my food gets swallowed up before I get the chance to remember! This place is good vibes! Mexican bachata music jamming typically! At this moment, it's "Bailando Bachata" by Chayanne. To thrive as a snack spot in these parts where there are also nearby botanerias is amazing. There are plants and decor that make you want to stay and dine in. They also have an outdoor space where a DJ has come by to set the mood! Tip! Please do yourself a favor and go to the salsa bar and try out those toppings to add a little bit of crunch or spice to your savory snacks! I love the pumpkin seed salsa macha (I think it's called)!!! They take and deliver your orders with a kind smile. It's hard to resist Yoyo's! My faves: -Rusa Preparada (grapefruit drink with chamoy on the side) -Piña Guava (another refreshing drink) -Empapelados (shrimp or veggie)

    Ate outside which was such a nice day . Everyone was super friendly and recommended items . Definitely a place to visit when you want just something to snack on . Doesn't fill you up but a meal in between a meal .

    Strawberries Marquesita
    Kasey C.

    Liked the little spot. Had the crepe Nutella strawberry. I'm used to the softness of it so the crunch was really different. It was just a bit TOO crunchy and hard for me but it was still good. Would rather have it a little softer. Also had the corn in the cup which was really good! Would love to come back and try other things! Service was great and fast!

The Dubai chocolate ice cream was also a lot better than the last time. The staff was kind to provide a sample. Would love to see more ice cream flavors in the future like seasonal flavors, rotating.

It had the perfect amount of toppings and crunch versus last time when I got a mere sprinkle of crunch and droplets of chocolate. Because of yesterday's visit I will be back soon!! Overall cute place, good atmosphere and decent service!

If I could give 1 dislike about it all, it's that their 1.75 prepackaged Quarts tasted watered down or at least that was how mine tasted when I ordered one, so if you're deciding on wanting to take one home I would suggest just getting two 3 scoops or a quart of whatever you're wanting. Moving on to service, the workers there do a great job attending costumers despite it being over flooded by so many people quite often. As for the atmosphere I'd say it feels a bit constricting especially when there's so many people there but honestly the feeling after getting a taste of the ice cream makes it worth it.
