“Decent place for a healthier meal that leans into the fast food genre. The food was tasty although I felt the portions were small. Service was friendly and quick. The atmosphere was very cafeteria like and bare. Definitely a place to go eat and leave, no reason to stick around.“
“Just out with Dinkus Magoo looking around for nothing in particular, but we'll know when we see it when we overhead a couple of Albanian goat herders talking about Jack in the Box and how great the hot ham a jack sandwich is. Well, we went straight there to see for ourselves. We got the hot ham and Jack, and it was spectacular! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“
“Just the best taco place in the area. Creative, unique, and incredibly flavored tacos. The charred broccoli taco and all their seasonal vegetarian tacos are always incredible. I’d strongly recommend this place to people like myself who love a traditional Al pastor/carne asada taco, they have fantastic meat options and you will be very impressed the veggie options - and you absolutely must come if you are vegetarian/vegan. My only complaint is that they aren’t open enough for how much I crave their food.“
“Really happy we discovered the North Beach Cantina on a very competitive block. Their taco Tuesday is one of the better deals we've found. We each got 3 vegetarian tacos for $7. She loved hers, and the impossible chorizo I had was better than expected. This place has good music and vibes and the staff is awesome. There will be many taco Tuesdays for us I expect.Vegetarian options: Good place for vege tacos.“
“They call them red tacos because some people can't say birria, but this is the best birria in the bay imo. Haven't found anyone else that's even close. The service is quick, they are friendly and now have a semi permanent home at a brewery. Overall fantastic.“
“I stepped in during my lunch break. I almost got out of line because it was moving slow, but I’m glad I didn’t. The line was there for a reason. I had the barbacoa and it reminded me of the one my aunt used to make. It was amazing! Support this place!“
“The best damn tacos in Oakland, full stop. Usually carne asada is a throwaway order, bland cardboard for white people (like me) who don't know anything about Mexican food (fortunately not like me). Not here. A friend who used to be a Michelin star chef proclaimed this the best carne asada he'd had outside of Mexico, and I agree wholeheartedly. And that's not where the show stops. Super legit pastor, fire fish tacos, solid vegetarian options, and don't skip the specials--I have yet to be let down. The brisket barbacoa especially is one of my top three tacos I've had in my entire life. Get the handmade flour tortillas, it's worth the extra money. And did I mention unlimited guacamole? Show me another place with unlimited guacamole. Not to mention the otherworldly salsa matcha. Don't sleep on this spot.“
“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.“
“My favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! Impeccable dishes with rich flavor and high quality ingredients, amazing cocktails, fantastic service, and a lovely interior with a couple of outdoor tables for sunny days. My favorites are the green enchiladas, chicken mole, and plantains - but everything we’ve had here has been incredible. I’m always shocked by how uncrowded this place is - people are seriously missing out!“
“This place is a weekend go to! I like the Camaron taco most, and the Pollo tacos are really good too. I’ve tried nearly all the vegan tacos in Oakland, and this is my favorite by far.Heart and dagger is around the corner, and they let you bring in food, so that’s a nice option, or the live music at the farmer’s market Saturday afternoons.“
“Sitting at the park bench at a smog shop on San Pablo, THIS is the gritty, urban, off- Gourmet Gulch affordable and lovingly made $3 taco experience you need to break out of the bubble. Slow simmered marinated chicken with a dollop of grilled onions, cut-up radishes what's not to like? Go there late enough for free side show entertainment! Across the street from this building north of Ashby...“
“One word to describe this place "WOW." The food was honestly beyond our expectations. We were looking for something near by to eat and we came across Pipirin. The order was ready within minutes from ordering. We order tortas and tacos of pierna, carnitas, birria and Lengua all meats where so good to say the least. This is a must try.“
“Had lunch with a friend dusting GDC and thought that the food was delicious. The service was so so, but hey, I didn't expect much as you order, and that's pretty much it.The atmosphere is pretty nice as it's for a bit of charm to it.Definitely recommend as their tacos are superb.“
“The food was very good, my partner and I stopped here before going to see a movie at the Regal Jack London and couldn't have been happier. We ordered one california burrito and split it and with the chips that come on the side it was enough food for both of us. Overall it is pretty cheap too, especially considering its location in the downtown area. Would highly recommend for a quick pickup and go or a dine in/date night.“
“Baja Tacos, Carnitas Tacos and Cubano sandwich. Mouth watering, delicious and unforgettable. These words describe all the dishes from Cholita Linda but today, the 3 at the beginning are the ones we had today. I only wish we lived closer to their restaurants.It was great to see you today Murat. Till next time.“
“This taco truck is definitely built off of love. Their meats are proper and this is definitely a place I'd even wanna work at. These guys know what their doing , and so when you come here,please pay it forward to these men, drop a couple dollars in the "VIP SERVICE" Tip jar .... You won't regret it(:“
“If you ready for a fingerlicious experience,You need to come here!!Parking: Is behind the building , a lots of spaces but a bit difficult to get inKid-friendliness: Outdoor and clean space so kids can be kidsWheelchair accessibility: Access big on the street side is plenty of room ?“
“Thad a fantastic experience at Alma Bar Cocina in Oakland. Their tacos are packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the service is consistently warm and welcoming. The owner makes you feel like a regular. Definitely try the fish tacos and the soup both were incredibly flavorful!“
“Great tasting tacos! Very accommodating if you don't like a specific topping, they'll take it off. I'm from San Diego originally and this has got to be one of the closest tasting tacos to that of San Diego's delicacy. It's hard to find a good taco in the Bay, but this is it.“
“I got the taco plate and the food was so flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend. I did have a lil trouble finding it, if you use google maps, it shows it is in the middle of pier 7 when in fact it is on the street by Pier 7. Will definitely be back, whenever I'm in San Fran. Thanks so much!“
“Friendly and accommodating service. Requested a few ingredients off my food (no sour cream and their hot red sauce in place of pico de gallo in a Carnitas crispy flat top burrito). They give you options for bean choice and I love refied beans in a burrito! Carnitas were crispy and flavorful. Burrito was crispy and all ingredients tasted really good and fresh! Their red sauce is really good. I am dead inside so it did not feel spicy to me, but if you are not a fan of spicy sauce you can customize your order. Most importantly and what made me love this burrito is that there is not an overwhelming rice stuffed burrito! I am from Southern California and we are not down with rice burritos, sorry SF locals, that is just not my thing. So if you want a burrito that is mostly protein (meat and beans) this place is a great choice. Service was quick food portions are great and in my opinion well worth the price especially in this area. Will definitely come back and try other dishes in this cozy corner of Lower Nob Hill! Buen Provecho and Tip your lovely Service Peeps!“
“One of the best tacos I've had... tortilla was a little crispy soo good the meat well seasoned... I was at the White Elephant sale yesterday and after doing some shopping my mother and I got a bit hungry we decided to try this taco truck and buy some tacos, it did not disappoint... whenever I come to Oakland again and I get hungry I'll be sure to look them up again...“
“This is a Mexican restaurant Located at el Sobrante and this environment is very clean and the employees are very nice and they have a good amount of pictures inside of their restaurant. The bathroom is also clean and the tables are nice wooden finish. They have a note saying that to throw your trash away after you eat they also have outdoor tables with plants around they also have a seat. that looks really good and they have machines that give out candies and stuff so their holding is really decorated. Their chairs are also good. They have lights around the building. The food is also very good. They keep it hot and they give you numbers which they call out and you go get, your food which is little they also give you small packets of chips and salsa, but for more you have to pay extra salsa, they have green, red and mango and chunky. They all are good. So definitely recommend this place.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options“
“5-star place. Absolutely amazing food both for vegans, pescatarians, vegetarians and meat eaters as well. As a mostly veg with a vegan SO and a meat eater friend we came back here after our first visit to try more food, it's perfect! The cauliflower-coconutmilk ceviche is a must-try for everyone.“
“Loved the food and the vibe. Ended up here on my last night in town. If I had time I would definitely be back. Had the spinach + artichoke taco and the mushroom + kale. If you’re vegan like me, sub the dairy for guac on the mushroom + kale. It’s sooooo gooood.Vegetarian options: 3 tacos to choose from that are already vegetarian or veganDietary restrictions: use corn tortillas if you’re gluten free“
“For sure my favorite taco truck in Oakland. Not does it taste really good, they are nicely priced with loads of meat. They are also generous on veggies, garnish and sauces, and always happy to give me another bag or two when I asked. Call ahead and your tacos will be ready within 10 minutes. My favorites are steak and chicken.“
“What a find! I don’t give out these sort of compliments lightly but their al pastor is off the charts good.! I had the Al Pastor super burrito and it was amazing but I’m sure everything here is good. Also super nice vibes. My new go-to spot in Richmond.“
“I've been driving past this amazing kitchen on wheels for the past yr and never have I bothered to stop & look. This ain't just a taco truck, they do breakfasts, burgers & birria. What more can you ask for. Run by nice folks. I'll definitely be back.“
“You can find the taco panzon most days at the intersection of Campbell and grand from 12:15 pm. This food truck is amazing. Really. The entire ambiance, the crew that frequents it; it is a community you want to be a part of. They have two chairs you can sit on and gulf down some tacos and be on your way. Not somewhere to sit and dine but for a quick pick me up it is highly recommended. Food quality is too notch, pickled jalapeños and zuccini and generous avocado portions with the taco orders when you ask for everything on em. Can't hype it enough! But don't expect to wine and dine, it's a food truck.“
“Excelente servicio. El mismo dueño atiende con mucho gusto, si me hiso recordar los tacos de Tijuana. Recomendadisimos los tacos de cabeza al vapor!!!? 10/10Vegetarian options: Just ask your dishes with out meatKid-friendliness: You could modify the dishes.“
“My goto when I go to this truck is a regular steak burrito with everything, it comes out to about $11 even with chips and salsa... and it's probably the best burrito in Oakland in terms of flavor and juiciness, you can tell they spend time to add layers of flavor and this is coming from a self proclaimed burrito connoisseur. Service is nice everyone is friendly and quick waiting times and that's great for a family owned ambiance. The best way to describe the food is comfort food, it's like a home cooked meal. They really put the time into their food and I recommend the steak burrito with everything but that's just me. This in my opinion is the best burrito in Oakland and I've tried all the known taqueria's in West Oakland, downtown Oakland, Lake Merritt area“
“This is everything you want from fast casual Cal-Mex, with extensive huevos options that will cure your hangover and keep you going all day. What really sets it apart is the rotisserie chicken, the tenderest and tastiest you will ever find. You can get it with tortillas and sides for a full family dinner to go, or you can do what I did and pull all that tender meat off the bones and then boil them into a wonderful broth and put the meat back with some vegetables for the most robust and healing chicken soup ever.“
“Always an amazing experience here! The people are kind and always get the order right. The burritos will run you about $12 but huge and I can always get two meals. I ask for them to cut it in half and bag it separately. That way i take half to work or something else. Street parking only“
“I ordered the quesobirria tacos and they were so full of flavor, excellent quality and delicious! The 'consume' (birria soup) was a nice touch to dip the tacos in. They were crispy which added a nice crunch. I also tried the huitlacoche (vegetarian) quesadilla and was impressed by the tortilla which is corn and handmade. I recommend this Mexican food vendor. I will try the tamales next!“
“I had two dishes , a cup of gumbo and the Baja fish taco. Fish taco had fresh ingredients and leaned heavy into it with light sauce, delicious. Gumbo needed a bit of salt but that’s me, still found it super tasty. Out of there full for under 20 bucks was dope also.“
“This place is hella good. Great customer service. 2.50 a taco for good meat. All around Thats great. I got one taco de al pastor and one taco de asada. I'd say the asada is better. The sauce they put on it is really good and not too spicy for a gringa like me.“
“Haters be hating but the vibe and the Al Pastor tacos are great in this street food' stall! The tacos are street style (small) but they were generous with the meat. The al pastor is thinly carved right off the skewer into the tortillas to order. We love that! They will ask you if you want grilled onions and sliced fresh pineapple spining at the top of the skewer. Say "YES" to both and ask for grill jalapeños if you like em. We added our own toppings from the salsa table, sat on stools and watched them work as we gobbled up the tacos. Sitting there, we felt like we were back in Mexico.$3/taco is a little pricy but we'll pay it again.“
“We were on a Breakfast Burrito binge. We were trying as many top-rated breakfast burritos as possible. We came across this place while waiting for another place. This place was better than the rest!!! Absolutely great!!! Go here as good, if not better, than all the other top-rated burrito places. They got our order wrong, but it's still AMAZING!!! I asked for toasted and Acado instead of guacamole. But they did not toast and put guacamole.“

“Great folks on staff, always ready to recommend good beers. They always have a good food option, with different vendors coming in on different days. ALWAYS an amazing beer selection, be sure to get some beers to go from the fridge doors as “
“Went here based on a review on the Lakeside FB page picture. Ordered the, cannot spell and dont feel like looking up, fried pork bites (maybe belly). Unfortunately, ours were way over fried. Very dark brown and a hard chew. If not over cooked; would be awesome! We ate a couple but left the rest. The place is small and very clean. Very nice staff. Real coke, in the bottle, with a cup of ice. Cane sugar... it is different, if you didn't know. Therefore, no refills here. Also, you do not get free chips and salsa just for sitting at a table. You will pay about 5.00 for chips and salsa, you want cheese dip? Another 5.00. Fine. Do you want authentic flavor? (My opinion) Shed your Americanized view of hispanic foods. Look at the menu, you get the chance to eat things that you've only seen on the Food Network or if you were in an hispanic country. We also had a taco salad. Lovely and crispy. The bottom layer was some hot red sauce (both in heat and nicely spiced - so delish, not killer) - rice, shredded cheese, steak bits (chix or shrimp is also an option) iceberg lettuce (not uniformly shredded), guac, sour cream, few diced tomatoes and a bit more shredded cheese (mostly yellow - assume cheddar but to little to tell)Bottom line. The taco salad was awesome - get a fork-ful of it all. All of the flavors blended. We loved that the steak was charred but still tender. Tiny diced bites of diced steak, but it was good! We would have like a medium cook, yet charred - but even fully cooked, they know how to slice the steak, so it was not chewy. After you eat here.... Go a couple doors down for the in-house made ice cream. Try the pine nut "pinion' - or any that strikes your fancy. Put it on your list.“
“Must Try! I went for the long awaited first time last week and I loved the place! I asked for 4 steak tacos with chips and guacamole to be divided into 2 to go bags and they cheerfully split the 1 order of chips and guacamole. They were busy and they worked together as a team getting the food out fast and a problem with the cash system working. It's a great family feel, with high quality ingredients. The best thing is the steak is so tasty!! I'm impressed with the from scratch guacamole, everything is very fresh. I noticed the tall rotisserie of marinated pork and I'm excited to try that this week!! It's such a great edition to The Glenview.“
“Incredibly delicious, affordable, and filling rice triangles. I love stopping by to order here whenever I’m in the area. The food is delicious and a perfect meal. Personally, 2 rice triangles fills me up just right, I get the teriyaki chicken ones personally.“
“It is take out only, I had 3 tacos very good. The tortilla was slightly cooked. It was firm but not chewy. The meat, carne asada, was seasoned just right. It also was not too crispy, or under cooked. There is usually a line so service seems a bit slow.“
“One of my favs for healthy dining. The Ahi Poke Wasabi Bowl is my go to dish and it checks all the boxes for an excellent post work out meal (healthy, tasty and fulfilling). Be sure to ask for extra sauce (a wasabi soy vinaigrette) and you'll be glad you did.Vegetarian options: Lots of menu items, so check out the online menu before you go.Dietary restrictions: The menu is broad and easy to tailor according to one's needs. In addition, Pacific Catch is more than willing and able to accommodate your request if it is within reason.Parking: Parking depends on the location. The Stanford Shopping Center has plenty of parking. The Chestnut Street (San Francisco) location is challenging street parking.Kid-friendliness: The Standford location is very kid friendly. San Francisco is so so.Wheelchair accessibility: Both locations are street level. Stanford is more wheelchair friendly as the layout is enormous. San Francisco is just the opposite.“
“Service 5/5 friendly and helpful Food 5/5 (though their pollo asado didn't look appetizing)Prices 5/5 honestly unbelievable for San Francisco Ambiance 3/5 - not in a good neighborhood, full of people blocking the entrance you have to be ok with talking to strangers to enter and maybe having some unpleasant dialogue. Honestly tho I'm from nyc and it felt kind of like home.I ordered a super taco bowl with the pollo en salsa roja and this thing was massive, basically a taco salad in a little plastic box. It comes with the crema which is the best part and the guy gave me queso fresco (not sure if that is normal or he was being nice.) I took it to go and ate it on the way to the sunset but this thing was massive and I honestly recommend enjoying it sitting down somewhere that's not inside the tiny hole in the wall storefront. The staff was really sweet and bilingual, clientele was a mix of Spanish and English which is always a good sign. If you're already in the neighborhood give it a go.“
“They were quick. As soon as you pay, a few min your order is ready. Great team work. Only 3 staff. It was so hot standing outside in the SF Fleetweek heatwave. Can you imagine those in fighter planes? Back to my grilled chicken regular burrito. So tasty, lots of meat, and the still warm chips (complimentary, thank you). I only ate half and ate up all the chips. Their green sauce is not really spicy at all. Need two of them. Super burrito had a lot more ingredients. Next time. Maybe its me, i've become de-sensitized with the surroundings. Not good. Girl got to eat. Businesses need us. If you walk southeast side of Mission between 8th and 9th st, the urban alchemy protects that side. You see their safety vest or walkie-talkie.“
“Ok, I have to agree with the other reviews. Some of the best food from a food truck. We ordered a carnitas regular burrito, fish super burrito and steak fries. Steak fries had a good amount of steak and the fries were not soggy. Surprisingly both burritos had a good amount of meat and fish. The only difference between a regular and super is that the super has guac. The service was quick. We didn't eat at their patio, we took our food to go. But their seating area was nice for an outdoor space. Definitely going back again.“
