“the chicken is the best around and the al pastor is to die for“

“I got the chilaquiles with green sauce which came with potatoes, and it was delicious! My friend got a papusa plate with rice and beans and seemed to enjoy it. It was a good portion of food (I ended up taking half of mine home), and the service was great. They also have a parking lot, which was really convenient.“

“Great burritos and service. The pozole (ask for toppings) was delicious. Mostly, I loved sitting at the counter and having a beautiful bay breeze hit my face while having lunch. Oakland as it is. Everyday life is romantic if you can stop and experience it.“

“It was the friendliest salsa scene I've been to in years--Sunday at four to eight. And the food was gorgeous, and the staff super helpful.“

“As someone who eats aguachiles and tacos in Mexico. La grana fish is the closest thing to it I can get. I can not recommend this place enough!!! The aguachiles rojos and carne asada tacos are so delicious if I had infinite money I would get this weekly. I LOVE THIS PLACE PLS SPONSOR ME“

“OMG 😳 The Ceviche (not counting my wife’s handmade ceviche) is the best I have ever tasted, and I’ve tasted a lot of ceviche. It’s soooo good. I had the Mango 🥭 Avocado 🥑 Shrimp 🍤 Ceviche it was like an explosion of flavors in my mouth, I couldn’t stop eating it. Great tacos 🌮 everything was beyond my expectations. I have probably walked by Puesto’s a hundred times but not anymore it will be my restaurant of choice when in Concord you have to try it. Sorry no picture of the Ceviche 😋“

“👍🌮🌮🌮🌮🌯🌯🌯🍛🍛🥘🥙🥗🍤🍤🍗🌮🌮🌮🌮🍺🍺🍳🌮🌯🌮“

“The food was delicious… Absolutely melted in my mouth. I had a chicken burrito everything was cooked to perfection… Our waiter Avery was out of this world...in addition to the food...he just makes the place👍🏻“

“Best Mexican food in Castro Valley to add to the wonderful taste of ghost food, their owner Doña Rosa it’s a gem, she’s wonderful, caring, so kind and make you feel right at home! Best of the best!“

“I am extremely impressed by this taqueria as a taqueria enjoyer, lifelong. I have never seen a taqueria with such an abundant drink selection. Tons of beers and also sodas, along with a wonderful selection of delicious desserts.

The service was the fastest I've ever experienced. He made my supreme burrito in probably about 3 minutes or less. It was incredible. This makes this a very efficient spot for a lunch break. And the burrito is huge and stuffed to the point of feeling firm. Wonderfully wrapped, And the man working the cash register and wrapping the burrito was extremely friendly and polite. Nothing bad at all to say about this place, except maybe that there's limited seating. But that's a very minor issue.

Overall, one of the best taqueria is I've ever been to.“

“We went to eat here tonight for the first time and they definitely did not disappoint! We ordered various things tacos, quesadillas, and a pambazo and they were all delicious. The meat was tenders, flavorful, super reasonable prices, and not greasy at all. Everything tasted really good and we will definitely be back!“

“There aren't enough stars to give this place. Family run and that's what you feel like when you go there. Buche, carnival, chicharones, chicken and ribs ( yes, ribs) are all outstanding. My neice comes back to CA from Austrailia and this is the place she wants to go. Even my buddy says it reminds him of how his grandparents cooked on their ranch in Jalisco. You absolutely will love this place. Do yourself a solid and get tortillas, they make them fresh every day.“

“Dang the food is delicious here yeah you can't get a margarita but there's a liquor store next door. You can get a michelada and pour some tequila that you got from next door in your drink. I got to tell you the enchiladas I had perfectly acidic not spicy so that you could add the spice you wanted to. The garden I saw that was super tasty char from being on the grill and full of flavor. I will definitely pick this place again over laughing at the any day. And it cost me about 25% less for a plate that was a hundred times better than La Piñata. .“

“Whenever I’m in Danville I make it a point to stop in. The food is some of the best in the area. The tacos has heaping amount of meat. Prices are reasonable. Staff is very friendly. The big surprise is the brownies, yes brownies. Delicious and super moist.“

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤“

“I had the taco fino, and the carne asada, pollo pastor, and birria tacos. Salsa is great and I want to try the spicier ones, everything’s delicious.

I want to eat more tacos here than is reasonable for any person.

No one can stop me.“

“Great Food Friendly service“

“I am so picky when it comes to good pozole But I must say this is 1000% the best that I have ever tried from a restaurant. I have never went inside the restaurant personally I always just order DoorDash to my job, but it comes fast quick hot and taste amazing.“

“My first time trying Mexican food!!
If you are into original non glamorous places with fantastic food, THIS WILL BE UP YOUR ALLEY! This is a family own restaurant with a full service bar adjacent room. The micheladas are insane! They have cool variety of imported beer and local to choose. The birria go some and the tiny been tacos will blow your mind.
Just watch out for the life mariachi bands if you don’t like loud music.“

“What an incredible treat to experience--AND it's situated conveniently in a residential area for accessibility!

The churros are delicious in their own or with a variety of fillings. My favorite is the caramelo (caramel) filling that's made with goat milk. (It's like dulce de leche but warrrrrm.)

The people who run it are also the owners, which means they're invested in creating a friendly, community atmosphere and gladly cater to special requests.

Be prepared to pay either cash, use Zelle or get cash back from the nearby Mexican grocer. There's no option for card payments!“

“La Plaza is a hidden gem in Walnut Creek. Big menu with lots of options, you can't go wrong with anything you pick.

My go tos are the Chile Relleno or the Nachos. the Bean and Cheese Burrito is also one of the best I've ever had.

Great to eat in or easy takeout for the whole fam. Highly recommend!“

“Growing up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I was totally spoiled by the food — especially the green chile and red chile that you just can’t replicate anywhere else. Even though I’m a California native by birth, I spent my most formative years in New Mexico, and that shaped my palate in a permanent way.

Over the last 20 years living in the Bay Area, I’ve been on a quiet mission: every time a friend from high school or middle school in New Mexico came to visit, I’d try to find a restaurant here that could even remotely live up to what we were raised on. I’d take them to places I thought might pass muster — and every time, they were politely disappointed. So was I.

But today changed everything.

I think I may have just found the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever experienced in California — hands down. And no, I’m not exaggerating.

🌮 Taqueria La Comales Mexican Grill in Oakland
• 🌶️ They will make it spicy if you want it — not just California-spicy, but real-deal chile heat.
• 🥑 Fresh, high-quality ingredients that taste home-cooked, not mass-produced.
• 💸 Extremely affordable — the kind of value that’s almost impossible to find in the Bay now.
• 🫓 Authentic flavor — I mean it. The chile here sings. It reminded me of home.

If you grew up on Hatch green chile and are constantly chasing that familiar, soulful flavor, this is your spot. I can’t even tell you how good it felt to finally taste something that honored where I come from.“

“Love that the restaurant offers four vegetarian fillings for their quesadillas, burritos, tortas, etc. We had a vegetarian burrito and vegetarian torta, and they were both really delicious! The chips and salsa were delicious too. Portions were large. Pictured is half of a main.“

“The customer service is amazing, enjoyed my margarita. A friend recommended their shrimp salad so that’s my next try. And of course I can’t forget, they gifted me 2 tickets to see Joe and Tamia at the Paramount and my sister and I had an absolutely amazing time!“

“my favorite Mexican restaurant. great food, super friendly and consistent. been going here for almost 15 years.“

“People: do try the green pozole, breakfast burrito, chile relleno (the chile relleno is exceptionally good), and ceviche. I have tried the mentioned dishes more than twice and the consistency is always the same: excellent! Yum, yum!“

“Doña is a bright, welcoming restaurant on Piedmont Avenue with high-quality Mexican-inspired food and a spacious indoor and outdoor setting. The cozy interior and heated patio make it perfect for any occasion—whether you’re with friends, family, or even your dog.

Favorites like the Pollo Asado Bowl, Sopa de Lima, and Cauliflower Tostada stand out for their fresh, bold flavors. The chips & queso are a must! Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and everything is made with care.

Service is fast and easy with counter ordering, and the vibe is casual and friendly. Whether you’re grabbing brunch, dinner, or happy hour drinks, Doña offers a relaxing, tasty experience in a beautiful space.“

“Home Sweet Home in a Mexican Restaurant. Small but quaint. Always greeted with smiles and a warm Holla or Hello. With food being chopped, cooked and prepared right in front of you, you feel like your at home with grandma while the smell of food is coming. The food is excellent and the prices are reasonable. On point! They feed The Bay.“

“It’s the best Restaurant in town came with Family and we had a great time! Food was great and drinks 🍹 we all loved the dessert as well! Just amazing service and food! My Favorite for sure! 2914 College Ave Berkeley Ca“

“The family atmosphere is what hooked us. We used to go here maybe once or twice a month before the pandemic. Since they reopened, they are closed on Monday’s, our usual day so it’s been 3 years since we’ve been there. They still recognized us though! We ordered as we walked in so the wait wasn’t long at all.“

“Probably the most affordable, bang-for-the-buck burrito and quesadilla suiza. They also make a fire bean and cheese burrito if you like to keep it simple on occasion.

I think this El Farolito and SF's seem to have pretty good quality control across the board. There is perhaps a dash or teptoo much salt in the finished product, but it definitely is sort of par for the course when it comes to a lot of takeout and sodium saturation (see Wally's Emeryville, for example - probably the saltiest meal for 20 miles).“

“It's not bad. Tacos de tripas. The tripas are almost on point but just really depends on the person I like them a little bit crunchy.
The only downside really was the portion size and the tortilla was a bit raw it didn't fully heat up. The other downside is the sauces.
The green sauce is not hot nor does it have flavor or salt it's just smushed sauce.
And the red one almost looks like ketchup texture with no flavor either. I could taste more the grease from the taco then the sauces.
Overall I'll say it's a 4 star the first time I showed up I wasn't a fan of it but this was years ago.
Add oil to the tortillas or tortillas all vapor also hits the spot.“

“My family and I enjoy coming here. The service is great and I like their quiet outdoor seating. Food could use a little more pizzazz per my preference; possibly more spices would suffice. But overall, it's a great restaurant and we'll be coming again. Thank you!“

“I've been going to La Mexicana for decades and they've never disappointed me! They make their own tortillas and the meals are hearty and flavorful. You will never leave this place still hungry and the people who work here are super-friendly. They also have a small parking lot behind the restaurant if you cannot find parking along the street.“

“Delicious food!! The atmosphere here is great and all the staff is super friendly! Would recommend one of the top places in alameda for tacos and burritos!! 🌯 10/10“

“Came here with my family and the food is absolutely amazing. Very authentic and amazing salsa. If the salsa is good you know the food Is good. The staff are very attentive and make sure your set while you enjoy your food. Best little family restaurant in the area!!“

“Highly recommended, creative way of serving carnitas tacos. Delicious!! Menu is simple and easy to understand and we got a cookie with our order. Finally a legit place in Orinda“

“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.“

“Even After devouring my torta all I could say was “ wow that was fire” over and over… I got half steak and half chicharrón , the steak was juicy and flavorful and the chicharrón was phenomenal and had the perfect crunch to go with the soft bolillo roll, all the toppings combined were perfect.. from 1 to 5 stars ⭐️ I give it 10 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from the customer service, to the wait time to the flavors ??‍???“

“Our family and friends celebrated at home with an array of our favorites for all tastes. The staff went all out for us with abundant sides. Leftovers for days later. Our family and guests were 😃. Reasonable expenses. Will do again!“
