“el sazón está muy bueno,las personas muy amables“

“10/10 highly recommend! Fresh, tasty, quality ingredients prepared and plated to perfection! Portion sizes are worth the price. Affordable, tasty eats with excellent customer service in a lovely outdoor setting. My son and I had the fish tacos and shared a steak & shrimp birria taco. OMG! INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS AND FLAVORFUL, down to the sliced carrots! I was visiting from the East Coast where they know NOTHING about authentic Mexican food! I could eat at La Grana Fish EVERY DAY!“

“We were looking for a taco place with my sister and we found this place. It is very clean and very friendly. It is so delicious, especially the tacos al pastor and the burritos are super large. I recommend them“

“This is a Very Small Hole in the wall Taqueria, ( just the way i like them) with Excellent tasting food & big portions, I would say 99% of the customers take their food to go! there is table for 2 right outside the door under a tent. Great Menu only NO FRIES, I love Carne Asada Fries, But still 5 Stars on Everything!!“

“really like this place because it's family-friendly and has a variety of food. I like it because they have burritos. I highly recommend it.“

“Wonderful customer service. Friendly and fast. This charming nostalgic diner caters to classic American comfort foods.“

“Sweet Mex makes the BEST Mangonada around! They're unmatched. They also make delicious food. The Carne asada tacos are delicious, the street corn is tastey, & the tostiloco's satisfies every bit of my savory craving for the day. Basically, they have a little something for everyone! Salty, Sweet, refreshing...you name it, they GOT IT! 🤩“

“This place looks a little 'sketchy', BUT the food is very good. I was working an event at the Oakland Colesium, and this was the only place you could walk to. If you can speak a little Spanish, it goes a long way. I got the Cubana sandwich, and it was so big, I could only eat half of it.“

“I when today at 4pm and the food was amazing, I would definitely go back, a highlight that I have is that the cashier was hella nice she was telling me how she loves my outfit and that I have pretty eyes. And I just love that you know girls for girls ❤️❤️“

“Legit Mexican food! Best al pastor I have ever had and this Texas girl has had a lot!! Don’t skip the chicken here..it is a flavor paradise. These guys know what they are doing. Elote was spot on. Come hungry. We will definitely return. And the customer service was great. Very nice people 🌮 🌮🌮“

“best street corn ever !! looking forward to trying there other stuff“

“Felt like I was back in the motherland (Mexico). The dark, sketchy street just adds to the atmosphere. This place takes zelle if you don't have cash. The tacos are 3 bucks a pop, and they fill them fat. Best dang taco I've had in a while.“

“Picked up a burrito here for lunch today, what a great find! The shop was sparkling clean and the aroma of the fresh food was enticing.
I ordered a Pollo Asado burrito and it was about as big as my 14 lb. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. There was so much chicken! Well seasoned rice and pinto beans that were firm but perfectly cooked. The guacamole was fresh and plentiful.
The burrito was so big I'll be having it for dinner tonight or maybe lunch tomorrow.
The value was fantastic for the quality and quantity.“

“I came by yesterday around 6pm and ordered a super burrito with carnitas. Iy was empty inside, but it was clean and plenty of tables if you decide to eat there. The burrito was ready in about three minutes which is really fast and it was delicious.

I think i paid around $14 which is average for a super burrito in the area. The service is also great here, really nice people.“

“I was bicycling from Piedmont to San Leandro for work and my phone got down to 10%. They were really nice about letting me use their power outlet to charge my phone and the Jamaica and Burrito were 10/10. 100%. Plus they have a pool table, and it’s free!“

“los mejores tacos y el mejor servicio siper recomendado.“

“One of the best mexican food I’ve ever tasted. I love everything they served! The best comfort food. I hope can visit union city again.“

“I swear these tacos de Barbacoa are crack. SOO DELICIOUS!“

“Amazing food! I go here twice a week probably and they even remember my name now. It’s all really good so I switch it up. The buche is unusual so I like to get that and it’s very fresh . Very nice people and clean. My go to is 4 Asada tacos with a chile on the side. You won’t regret making this place a new favorite.“

“The tacos and everything are very good, they just have to improve the issue of the lemons, where they buy them, because they don't have anything sumo, and you only ask and order lemon because they don't add any sumo, but otherwise the food and the tacos I love them“

“? Alright folks, here’s the deal: Living in Alameda has me often yearning for some legit taco action. But I’ve found that I usually need to head over to Oakland to truly satisfy those cravings. And that’s exactly how I ended up at this taco truck!Nestled in Oakland, this spot was a serendipitous find on an evening adventure. The setting is chill, making it the perfect backdrop for some true street taco vibes. And speaking of streets, there’s a handy parking lot right at the corner, so you can just park and wander over with ease.I dove into two pastor and two carne asada tacos, and even though they’re on the petite side, they don’t skimp on flavor. My plate was brimming with extras - a generous helping of radishes and jalapeños which added that fresh zing to every bite. And oh, those salsas! Perfectly spiced and absolutely delightful.Now, are these the all-time champions of my taco experiences? Maybe not. But when the taco craving hits in Alameda, this Oakland gem is definitely worth the short trek. Can’t wait to see what the rest of their menu holds on my next visit!“

“I don’t normally review places, but I want Taqueria Rubios Inco to stick around as it’s a neighborhood gem. Delicious tacos, burritos and pickled sides. Great portions, packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. If you’re in the neighborhood, try them out. Easy parking right there in the lot.“

“Good food at a great price“

“Biggest torta I ever had! Big enough to share and packed with meat also pineapples! The tacos , burritos and nachos was so flavorful too! The owner was really nice and friendly made me feel comfortable! There is plenty parking and a cute little seating area and also a park for the kids to play around! Highly recommend!“

“I hope I find this in heaven. Hands-down, one of the best Carnitas I’ve had. Run out of a taco truck in a very unassuming location. Juicy, tender and they give generous portions. I got that fairly late at 2PM and everything was sold out except for the carne. The person I spoke to said to come early usually before noon if you want to have a taste of everything else. There are two tents set up with tables and chairs.“

“best burrito EVERRR..online orders only“

“Great taco in oc and cheap. And they have so many other thing and platos if you know what that is check it out if your over by thier worth the stop“

“Has it all: fair prices, good quality and impressive selection for a truck. Only a little seating and I like to eat stuff fresh, but since most get to go, prob a spot usually available. 3 tacos for $9 out the door (cash) hit the spot for lunch. Offered up chips and nice carrots, jalapenos, radish, and cucumber provided.“

“This Mexican restaurant is a hidden gem. Their enchilada plate is delicious. Their tacos are flavorful. The burritos huge, are filling and very good. The service is excellent. Portions are generous. The staff always has a warm smile and makes you feel appreciated and welcomed. It's very casual. You can eat there there's plenty of space. A lot of people get their orders to go. I've always got mine to go & we eat it at the bar next door. I love their salsa bar so much. There's different salsa to choose from. Their chips are authentic and fresh. Very crispy. Shrimp is not overcooked but just right. My husband gets the burrito carnitas extra crispy. The nachos are hella good too. Friendly people, good food.“

“My mother-n-law got us hooked to this spot it’s absolutely my favorite place to get burritos“

“Best tacos in town love pastor love the carne azada“

“Good honest taco truck, great value, huge portions. Takes cash, Zelle, and Venmo.

If you’re an Olympic swimmer who just finished a workout then the super burrito here would be perfect for you. I stopped by after a 40 min bike ride and even the regular burrito had me stuffed.

Only possible downside is you’ll sit at a plastic table in a gravel patch shaded by trees. Or in your car in the parking lot just adjacent. But let’s be honest, that’s EXACTLY the vibe what you want from a taco truck :)“

“amo las tortas De esta lonchera 😍😍“

“Food is hot. and super delicious“

“Delicious Mexican food freshly prepared while you wait. There’s some seating available, but I went with takeout instead. The prices are very reasonable and everything I’ve tried so far is great! This time I got the quesadillas with a mix of al pastor and chicken. There’s plenty of competition around them so they make sure those flavors are going to win the folks over. Definitely a place to check out!“

“I had the tacos El Pastor, and my son had the Carne fries. Both were amazing. would recommend to anyone!“

“tacos were bomb and the salsas were delicious.. we will be going back“

“We've been regulars at Tacos Papo for a while now, so decided to use them to cater an outdoor birthday party recently. They absolutely knocked it out of the park! From start to finish, Ana was wonderful to work with, figuring out what works best for us. The food was delicious and a total crowd-pleaser, every single guest loved it. They thoughtfully packed and prepared everything, nothing was missing and everything arrived in perfect order. We'll definitely be back and would highly recommend them for both a casual meal and any special event!“

“Best tamales hands down. Before opening her restaurant, I was at La Finca asking where I could get the best tamales and they gave me her number. They were moist and full of flavor. Everyone at my party loved them. I’m so happy to see she has her own restaurant. You must try the food!“

“Get the chicken quesadilla! It's so good! They are a little pricy but so worth it.“

“Just had some delicious Blocko Tacos! Mmmm... so good! Nice blend of flavors and textures. The cheese sauce has a nice bite to it. The tortilla is nice and soft, but doesn't fall apart. We highly recommend this delicious treat! Don't be shy, have yours with everything on them. We did! You won't be sorry!🌮 Uncle Curtis and Auntie Jan ♥️“

“Great food on a great Sunday!“

“Tacos here are seriously good, and it's hard to find authentic tacos al vapor like these. I ordered the lengua and cabeza tacos, and they were so well-seasoned that I could tell right away they didn't need any extra salt—they were perfect as they came.

The red house salsa is extremely spicy, while the green salsa has great flavor with a milder kick. Both pair really well with the tacos.

I paid $31 for 6 tacos and 2 drinks, which felt like a fair price because they really load the tacos with meat. You definitely get your money's worth.

I gave this place 5 stars because the food was outstanding. The only minor challenge is parking. As for the dining area, there are about 4 or 5 tables plus a long wall counter that can seat around 10 people, giving you a good idea of the layout. It wasn't an issue when I visited, but if they get really busy, seating could fill up quickly. These tacos are so good that they're definitely worth eating fresh on the spot.

I'll definitely be coming back—the only trouble I see myself running into is finding parking.“

“We ordered via Door Dash, so don't know about service or atmosphere, but the food was very good. Got a Al Pastor Quesadilla, and a steak & shrimp burrito and rice. All were very good. Only for 2 of us and we have leftovers for tomorrow. Impressed - will definitely be back!!“

“Probamos el churrasco, papas fritas y steak fries. Todo muy delicioso. Vamos a regresar a probar los caldos y atoles😄“

“You know how some places will have great reviews for the food and then you walk in and it's not so clean. This place is spotless and they are super nice. They even walked the food out to my car because it wasn't too busy when I went on a weekday. Their portions are generous and the neighborhood as far as immediate neighborhood is safe to park in while you're eating.“

“I discovered this great gem of a bar during the final Hayward B street block party of the season! The owner was very friendly & the bar tender was amazing! She was working so hard because it was super busy. I ordered the Lemon Pepper Chicken wings & they were the best I'd ever had. YUM!! They took awhile to come but as I said they were super busy at the time, but they were well worth the wait. Come on down to Blue Crown Bar & Bistro!!“
