“I was hungry and I was in the area so I stopped at one of my favorite spots to eat, Casa Latina. I wasn’t too hungry, but I knew that I would enjoy two delicious grilled chicken tacos. I also had an amazing pineapple agua fresca which was perfect with the tangy salsa on my tacos. This place offers an excellent menu and everything is good. They also have a bakery where you can get Latin pastries which are also delicious. Especially with a cup of coffee or tea. Highly recommend this spot for a tasty meal and a cool environment.Kid-friendliness: I frequently see kids when I eat at Casa Latina.“
“They've remodeled with a more upscale dining room. You still order at the register. Food is some of the best Mexican food in the East Bay. They also offer call ahead for curbside pickupParking: Parking can be dicey on busy nights. They have two lots, plus the street.“
“This is my new favorite place. It was so good. I've only been here once but I'll definitely be going back. And it's only two blocks from where I live, so it's super convenient. But I'm sad now because I'm moving back to South Carolina and don't think that I'll be able to find Guatemalan food there. I'll be a regular here until I leave. I had the dobladas and the estofado de res, or beef stew, and both were delicious. The dobladas are like empanadas. The pastry isn't flaky like Argentinean empanadas, so they're a little different. They're plump with more stuffing than pastry. There are four in an order, and they come in beef, chicken, or vegetables. The meat stuffing was mixed with carrots and peas, which I liked. The woman taking my order said I could get a mix, so I got two chicken and two beef. Both were delicious. They came with sour cream, grated cheese and guacamole on the side. I don't understand the reviewer who said they lacked flavor. I thought they were very good. I'd order them again. I'd like to try the vegetable one, too. The estofado de res wa also very good, with chunks of tender beef, potato and carrots in a tomatoey gravy. It came with a scoop of rice and potato salad. My mother is from Spain, and the potato salad reminded me of the kind they make in Spain, with peas and carrots. I enjoyed it a lot. I got my order to go, and the ladies who work there gave me a complimentary cup of alote de etol, the warm sweet corn drink, while I waited. It was also very good. My food was ready so fast I had to take it to go. I didn't take any photos because I was too busy eating. I couldn't finish all of the food in one meal, so I saved about half of it for lunch the next day. I can't wait to try their other dishes soon :-) Ambience is casual. The dining area itself is small. Free parking in the back with a disabled spot at the front of the driveway. Service 5/5 Food 5/5 Price 4/5“
“Caribbean cuisine right at the Ferry Building. You order at the counter and pick up the food. I tried the Cuban sandwich and the beef plate with rice and beans. It's typical Caribbean with some spice and sweetness not spicy hot. Try the strawberry juice.“
“A huge shout-out to Boca Nova for their excellent food and service last night. We had a large reception for UC Office of the President's Health department prior to today's conference. The food was amazing and plentiful, service was impeccable, and Martin who I worked with from start to finish, was great. He was knowledgeable about the restaurant and food, offered guidance about the food when I needed it, was such a gentleman, and made us feel like we were dining in his own home. I can't thank you enough. I highly recommend this amazing restaurant. Thank you!“
“Small spot in the Salesforce travel plaza. Wide selection of meat, veggie, vegan empanadas that are heated up on ordering. There's a selection of salads, soups and a couple of desserts. Everything we tried was great and tasted very good. The guy behind the counter was great. Turned out to be super convenient for a snack on a Sunday evening and I'll be stopping by at other times too.“
“The Torta Cubana was very delicious! The bread was buttery and crunchy which paired very well with the meaty filling. I really appreciate when a place uses a good amount of mayo, but not excessive and Cholita Linda aced it! Their agua de Tamarindo was also nicely tart and sweet which I absolutely would return for!“
“Food was good, ordered the chefs tasting course meal , service was ok , previous experience was better , nice ambiance , but was notified by one the employees that one of the heater was not working because it will turn off and just gas comes out but earlier went asked to turn them on they turned so we were exposed to gas for a little bit“
“Perfect spot for #tacotuesday ?Got the al pastor tacos and inhaled them way before it even occurred to me to get photos and post a review. They were delicious, highly recommend! Al pastor burrito was good too.Edit : ordered in a bunch of times and LOVE the Al pastor burrito. This is my go to taco spot and my faves are the fried shrimp, chorizo and Al pastor. They don’t skimp on the filling, so 3 tacos is a hearty meal. Soooo good 10/10“
“I always get the same two things when I go to Waterfall, because I like them so much. Their shrimp ceviche is loaded with mango, and is so flavorful and fresh.Their fish taco is just wonderful. Super-fresh tasting fish freshly fried and totally non-greasy. And loaded with veggies on top, much too much to pick up and eat. I eat some of the toppings until it's a manageable amount to pick up. And that's a good thing!They have a wide array of bottled hot sauces on the tables to choose from, many that I've never seen before.“

“A very tasty and delicious authentic Mexican spot to grab some grub. They have some healthier options on the menu for those that are trying to keep health conscious while eating outside. Definitely try the pork burrito and ask them to make it spicy! It was super tasty. The portion size is also quite large. The staff was super friendly and willing to accommodate our requests. Will be back again!!“
“La Fusión was an amazing find by one of colleagues. This was suggested as a team outing since we finally have a full team now! They opened around 11:30, but to our surprise there was no line and no one at the restaurant at all. We were seated and greeted immediately by the manager and staff there.This is close by to Sajj Mediterranean! This is a smaller restaurant, but there are plenty of tables and chairs at the bar to enjoy everything. Everyone was super nice and friendly, and they made sure to go over the menu with us, as well as any specials they had.Water was being brought to our table before we ordered anything. I ended up getting the como saltado and that was $34. My team also ended up getting one of each empanada to share among us. Everyone else got the same item, or the rotisserie chicken. The como saltado was delicious! It was made fresh to order and I absolutely loved the flavors of this dish. You got chunks of tender, juicy beef with refreshing chunks of tomato and French fries! I typically have a love hate relationship with tomato's, but I ate everything UP. This does come with a bed of rice which was cooked perfectly.The only empanada I got to try was the seafood one. That one as delicious and I loved the outer shell, which was super crispy. Definitely a great starter to our meal. I'm not too sure how much we paid since our supervisor paid for our meal, but this is definitely on the list to come back again! Very pleased with our experience, the service, and how warm + inviting everyone is.“
“Had brunch with my wife here because they just opened up in Albany. We shared the scone, I ordered the Chilaquiles and my wife ordered the breakfast sopes.Everything was delicious and food came out in good timing. The staff was also attentive and gave us space to eat and chat.Would come here again!We also ordered the Tri Tip Sandwich and the Chicken Gordita to-go. Also super tasty! Really though, try this place out yourself!Update: Feb 11, 2024Went back for lunch with my wife to try different items on the brunch menu. Wife got the Mt.Tam Potatoes, I got the banana French toast (both served in a generous serving size). We couldn't help ourselves so we got a scone to share, a blueberry pancake and a banana pancake with fried chicken on the side.Everything came out timely and tasted amazing. Consistency is something we feel demonstrates whether a restaurant has their stuff down or not. Second time ordering the scone was not a disappointment. The service was also consistent, they were readily available but we didn't feel rushed. We will continue coming here!“
“We ordered the aji de gallina, bolitas de yucca, pescado ceviche, and tequeños. My favorite dish was the bolitas. The aji de gallina was good but not the best I've ever had. My friends who are into sweets really liked the tequeños. I probably would not get the ceviche again.Great pisco sour and great service!“

I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR SURE!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT! AND I EAT HERE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK UP TO THREE TIMES A WEEK!!Parking: Plenty of free off the street parking here in a parking lot.“
“Great food, with excellent use of seasoning and authentic recipes. The atmosphere was low lighting and felt intimate with the music to cover conversation. The booth had plenty of room for 4 people. The menu had a good selection and all ingredients were very fresh. Steak was a bit chewy, but flavor was excellent. Service was a bit slow at times, with the waiter missing for 5 min or so when we were ready to order. The busser was fantastic. We will definitely be back for more!“
“Awesome location with a great selection and top notch quality. The Dorado en salsa de mariscos had the best scallops I've eaten along with a beautiful piece of mahi mahi and a beautiful prawn. The La podersoa with chicken got a great review and everyone left happy. Definitely worth a drop in.“
“I go to Angel's for the breakfast burrito with bacon. It always delivers, esp. with some hot sauce. The building and interior need some TLC, but if you look past that you'll discover a gem with quick, friendly service. Grab coffee from Catahoula across the street.“
“food was delicious! and drinks were fun tooI tried a spicy mezcal and tequila frozen drink - white storm I thinkoooo it was spicy!!! ?? in a good wayusually not a fan of mushrooms but their veggie empanadas were ?the sweet cinnamon dip that came with the maduros was super good too - I’ve never tried it like that before10/10 ?“
“I was craving breakfast; my brother told me about this place . After reading the reviews I agreed . A lot of us get thrown off because of the location; it's in the ghetto. We live a couple blocks from this place ; always saw it but never checked it out. Let me tell you it's Outstanding ! The food quality and quantity is great. I got a French toast breakfast combo . The quality is better than your nearest I*HOP or D*NNYS. Props to this place . Hash browns are toasty not soggy , sausage is high quality and bacon . Large portions. French toast came with plenty syrup and butter. This place is not stingy at all. My brother said ambience is great and family like . Props to the owners and Chef ! Food was so good I didn't take a picture. Hispanic owned place , always happy to see my people thrive.“
“Hard to find with only a small sign in the window. It is located in a coffee bar. The food was good. Order at the counter and food is brought to table. I went with 3 friends and we enjoyed our shared meal. Minus one star because I was overcharged and not given the happy hour price for the item I ordered.“
“Probably my favorite lunch in the East Bay right now. Fresh hearty healthy delicious colorful. Food is clearly prepared with love and creativity and the people working were super kind. They have juice and espresso, it's in a bright beautiful space with tasteful decor. Totally reasonable prices - especially for the quality. Really what more could you ask for? 5000 stars ;)“
