“We are San Diego and Los Angeles transplants with a relatively high bar for Mexican food, and Casa Turing is *by far* the best in La Morinda. Not sure what these bad reviews are about, we’ve come here many times and have never had a bad experience. Haters gonna hate! Food is legit, judge for yourself.Kid-friendliness: Bring the kids here often. They love it.“
“Thanks to Alejandro, he was able to fill my order with another order although Taco app charged me. I wanted the breakfast special and the app charged me for the order. Thinking I have my order filed when I got to the Moraga Taco Bell Alejandro said that my order cannot be made because it was too late. I ordered it on the app 15 minutes before the breakfast ended. In any case, do something about your app Taco Bell corporate. If the order can't be filled on time, the app should not accept the order!!!!!!! I'd give Alejandro a 5 star but 0 star for your app. Alejandro saved your incompetent app“
“Dear Taquerowhen my husband ordered my chicken burrito, light rice, extra cheese, sour cream, no onion, extra cilantro you made a face. . .when he apologized, you said, "no problem, everyone likes their burrito how they like their burrito." you then proceeded to make one of the top 5 burritos of my life. It was perfectionion! thank you, dearest Taquero, for putting your ideals aside and making my dream burrito. you're a real one!!btw, of you live in Oakland and have never been to Taqueria El Paisa just go. . . it is one of the best in all of Oakland.“
“I love the concept of this restaurant, the atmosphere and presentation of the dishes with do many delicious flavors . We started with the chicharrones with guacamole , the chicharron was a top for me!My favorite was the beef barbacoa empanada very filling and tasty, the cucumber & brusela salad was amazing so many flavors and very fresh. We also ordered the asada tacos, I like their special take with queso, guac and grilled onion. Super cute place and bar with amazing mezcal cocktails!!“
“Went here last night after a friend found this place on Instagram, and we happened to be in town and tried it out. The atmosphere was so fun, really warm space heaters made it totally fine to sit outside at night, the inside looked super cute as well. The service was great and the food was divine. Standout dish to me was a spicy carrot appetizer, some of the most interesting and tasty food I’ve had in a while. A handful of vegan options, more vegetarian options, but even though it wasn’t lengthy, those dishes were so good it was fine by me!Vegetarian options: Although it isn’t a long list of vegetarian items, I am vegan and the dishes I did was were so delicious it’s worth it if those dishes sound at all appealing to you.“
“I eat everything and did not miss meat at all at this delicious restaurant. The food is as tasty as the pictures are beautiful. I can't recommend highly enough and can't wait to go back. I'm nearby now and only wish they were open for breakfast!“
“Getting anything from here is such a treat. The super burrito is massive and I usually split it with my girlfriend and still have half a burrito the next day. It’s as big as my forearm! Handmade tortillas on the tacos and the meat is seasoned and cooked perfectly, never chewy. The horchata is soo good too and they ask if you want ice, which is very nice. Even their salsas are exceptional. They used to have pickled red onions with habanero that was SO good to eat alongside but don’t offer that anymore which is a heartbreaking honestly…please bring it back!!!“
“Love these tacos, the salsas are excellent. They have fresh juices. I love the corn tortillas made by hand. Al pastor and shrimp tacos were so flavorful. My mom got the chicken taco... but said it was lacking flavor. The beans were very tasty.“
“One of the best taco spots I've had in a while and wish there was a location closer to me! Even the plain ol rice and beans had me and I'm not even a rice and beans kinda person. Also, I'm picky when it comes to horchata and they have one of the best! Staff is also so friendly!! 10/10 im definitely coming back any time im in the area!“
“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.“

“I ordered a quesabirria taco and a burrito from here recently. The quesabirria was $5 for one that came with cucumber slices, one roasted jalapeno and one small cup of birria. It was amazing!! Really hit the spot in terms of flavor. The burrito on the other hand was good not great. It had a way too thick of a flour wrap around the burrito. I felt like I was eating a 30% flour wrap and only 70% filling. Otherwise, it was a good flavored burrito. I'll be back if I'm ever in the neighborhood for the quesabirria.“
“Spectacular pastor regardless of delivery vessel - my favorite happens to be their decadent quesadilla, but you really can’t go wrong with any selection. Warm friendly and efficient service coupled with elite expertly prepared pastor amidst a hyper-authentic vibe.“
“This food is always great. I live in Concord &I pass a number of Mexican food spots in ConcordTo come here.Dietary restrictions: It's your choiceParking: Parking has never been hard for meBut I do have handicap parkingKid-friendliness: Kids are welcomeWheelchair accessibility: It's great they have it“
“Flavor wise, always excellent. With inflation though, the prices keep rising and the churros are getting smaller for sure. I've been coming since I was a kid and was shocked at the size this last time. Still love this place though. There are other carts as well nearby, but I like this place. They take cash & card.“
“This was the cutest little spot! I believe this is a family owned business, and both the ladies working were SO sweet! I got chicken pupusas and they were sooo good!! Probably the best I've had! Not to mention, the prices were reasonable. This is 100% my go to pupuseria now. They even had this back from lg“
“When I walk in atmosphere was really chill. Great decor selection and the service was spot on. For the food, I got a wet burrito and it was good quality steak and ingredients. Some places the steak isn't that good its like choice cut, this place the beef was fresh, the owner or the owners dad came to check on me, overall 5 star spot that I'd go to again“
“I have lived in Oakland for 20 years and honestly, I have seen the reviews years back and always had it in the back of my mind to check them out since they were close. However, I never got the chance because I would always forget. However, last week, my daughter wanted churros, so I made the decision to finally try it out. OMG!!! Probably not the best idea because now we are addicted!! They were fresh and hot. My oldest decided to try the caramel filled one while my youngest and I got the plain. Well, they were crispy on the outside and soft and doughy in the middle. It was sooooooo good, we went back the next day and got more. Yikes!! I would have taken a picture but they never seem to last long enough for us to take a picture. Our first experience with churros was at Disneyland years ago and we fell in love but throughout the years, the quality at Disney started to decline and the price increased, and I wasn't a fan anymore. So, in my eyes, these churros here is IT!!!! Price isn't bad. $1.50 for each plain and $2 for ones with filling. However, I will note that the churros aren't like the super long ones but I think they are still fair with the prices and honestly, two of those were more than enough for us. The whole fam is completely hooked!! Check them out when you're in da town.“
“$5 parking in guarded lot a half block away due to street bipping. So sad we have come to this. Ordered vegan burrito and it was a ten. Covered outdoor tables. My friend had a different Mexican dish that they made a vegan version. All delicious and service was attentive.“
“So good! Came in on my lunch and had a wonderful experience. Can’t beat a homemade tortilla paired with amazing service. Unfortunately she was in the process of making her spicy salsa (just means I’ll have to come back to have some) so I didn’t get to try it, but being the sweet human she was she grilled up some chile serranos for me!If you love authentic Mexican food then this is the place to be! Will for sure be coming back.“
“The first 5 times I went to this place it was great. The last 3 times I've gone here there's been something wrong with our order. The last two times we ordered super burritos the cheese is never melted. Just a big lump of cold cheese in the middle of the burrito. Also we seem to have gotten really overcooked carne asada meat. It was like chewing on leather. Our orders were to go so we didn't notice until we got home. Hopefully they shore up their problems in the kitchen. I'll still go back and order their food.“
“I can't say enough good things about Low Bar! I hosted a holiday party here last night for a local professional organization, and Low Bar was the perfect venue. The staff are so thoughtful, organized, and attentive, and the food is fantastic. Low Bar is really the place to be if you want fun, casual vibes but high quality food. Their private room was perfect for a 30-person event. The price was reasonable for the high quality of food, cocktails, and service. Our guests ranged from graduate students to retirees, and folks from all walks of life remarked on how much they loved the location.Justin was our server, and he was the dream to work with. Friendly, professional, attentive-- he really made the party a success. I felt like I could just show up and Justin and the Low Bar would make everything run well.Their event manager Sam was also a joy to work with and made everything so easy. The location is perfect for public transit accessibility, and there is a parking lot across the street.Don't sleep on the churrros! The food here is amazing.“
“Nice lunch spot. Dinnner is much more chill. Very clean location, always friendly & fast service. The food is standard fare, the flavors are right but not super spicy, probably to accomodate all clientelle. I appreciate the salsa bar & that Door Dash is an option. Always a good experience.Vegetarian options: 5 items.Parking: Busiest at lunch but shopping center is large.Kid-friendliness: High chairs and booster seats. Cups with lids. No kids menu.“
“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'm a proud torta snob and my BF and I have been on the hunt for a good one for ~6/7 years. On a whim we found this pace and love their tortas so much we don't order anything else for fear of missing the torta experience too much. We get the carne asada specifically and it's perfection. The bread is soft but slightly grilled so there's a nice crunch. The meat is ALWAYS cooked well, sliced thin, and flavorful. The veggies are fresh and the pickled jalapeño adds a kick. The bonus is the homemade chips with the salsa - just so good. I've eaten at least 7 of them and the quality and taste is consistent. I think it's the bread, honestly, that takes this next level. I wish I could buy their bread in bulk. Also, we've eaten in the restaurant only twice and the main woman who runs the show is the nicest person with the biggest smile. She is lovely. The whole staff is great and always smiling when I see them, too. Overall just a great place with tasty tortas (and I'm sure great food in general) and kind people.“
“Pulled off the freeway right after landing in Oakland and got these super seasoned tacos that hit the spot! It was midnight in a sketchy part of Oakland and parking was scarce, but the service and food was worth it. Bag came with some jalapeños but I forgot to ask for salsa and they didn't throw any in the bag. It was good and I'd definitely come back to try their burritos. They look really big and they aren't cheap but I'm sure they are good too.“
“Had a veggie taco and a chicken taco. My friend had the mole enchiladas. It was all good, but my standards are high for Mexican food. Would have been nice to have some salsa with the chips and guacamole. Everything needed salt. I'm not sure why I tipped 20% for just bringing food. It's very cold everywhere in the restaurant.“
“Best service, we had a large party today and the service was amazing. They gave us special things for a birthday. The food is kind of small, especially the tacos but is amazing. There's tons of meat and fish options. The family meal comes with rice and beans.“
“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!“
“First time here and it didn't disappoint. Ordered an al pastor burrito and it was probably the best one I've had in the area so far; the salsas are great as well. Everything came out quickly and the inside was clean and orderly. Service was great as well, the cashier was very kind and was happy to answer any questions we had. Definitely coming back!“
“Like other reviewers, we found this place unexpectedly - after an Oakland A’s baseball game, in our case. What a gem. The owner/chef is delightful, offering all standard Mexican options with no set menu. The food was fantastic. My husband’s shrimp burrito was chock full of shrimp. I’m vegan and had 2 (large!) yummy pinto bean tacos. A little Spanish will go a long way, though the owner understood most of what we said. Our meals averaged $12/person. I highly recommend and will come here again when in the area.Dietary restrictions: The Pinto beans are vegan.“
“A few people in line ahead of me when arrived. My friend and I had looked at the menu and photos on Yelp ahead of time and honestly it didn't help. There were so many delicious looking items. Person at the window took my order, was super clear and precise. It took a bit of time to get our order. There were probably 6 orders ahead of ours, and it took maybe 10 minutes? It felt longer because it was cold outside lol thankfully there are tables. It wasn't loud, patrons are decently quiet. Just normal East Oakland traffic sounds. Everything I ordered was delicious. The asada and birria tacos, and the sope. Will definitely be returning to try other items. Especially the burrito. That looked real good.“
“My wife and I sat at the bar as the place was packed. We were told it was reservations only at the moment, so the place is definitely popular on a Friday night. We ordered the street tacos and pozole. The pozole was delicious and hearty. The tacos were also tasty and filling. The pozole was so much better than the last time I had eaten here and commented this to our server. A new chef has brought more spice and discipline in the dishes being made which has resulted in delicious dishes. For dessert my wife and I had tres leches cake, churros and coffee. All were scrumptious and as sweet as heaven. I will definitely start coming here more often.“
“Love this place! We've enjoyed brunch and dinner here. The chicken and waffles are pretty good as are the chilaquiles. But the true gem is the torra Jalisco! It's hands down my favorite dish on the menu! I have ordered it every time I've been back since the first time I tried it. It's super rich and I've never been able to finish it, but it's worth every greasy calorie!“
“The food here is the best! Made with love this is as good as it gets absolutely delicious 100% AUTHENTIC MEXICAN food that stands out from the rest with excellent service, Emma has ran this business for over 40years as confirmed by a pregnant long time customer who shared that she is from the 4th generation in her family that eats here. I strongly recommend La Mexicana!!! Gracias Emma“
“Do yourself a favor and eat at Juice Joint! The menu has all your favorites accommodated by a charming inviting atmosphere! I had a burrito and I recommend that and the cheese steak fries, the sandwich options were all tempting and the cheese steak menu and the smoothies were awesome ?. The food, service, and atmosphere is fantastic!“
“I really missed MexiCali Rose. So this was the only Mexican place I found that served ground beef. Margaritas do the job. College town with decent parking. Food is good like home style.Vegetarian options: Some vegan items or can request special orders.“
“Hands down the best party decision I've made. I hosted a 60 person adult birthday/graduation party with catering from Ranchero. Customer service was excellent called days poor to check headcount, before coming and was 15 minutes early to set up. Set up in second and took the mess with them.. yes!!!! The food was flavorful, warm and extremely tasty. Had more than enough for people to get 2nds and 3rds. So many options. Something different for everybody, as we know how hard it is to feed so many people with dietary striction's nowadays. The staff was extremely helpful, fast and always had a smile.. The truck was clean with chips and salsa outside. The chips were actually heads down my favorite parts. Definitely hand made and not from a bag. I would recommend and book them again H- Martinez Ca“
“Expensive but Good food and strong drinks. Tried the 3 mole and chicken mole dishes. Had the Gertrude and El Tule Margaritas. I liked the El Tule better. Fast service. The ambience is nice inside. At least on Tuesday morning there was plenty of street parking.“
“Authentic Mexican food for a good price. The portions are great and leave you feeling full. Love the quesabirria tacos with the consume! Everything is served in containers that make it easy to take leftovers home. Small dining area indoors. We visited on a Tuesday afternoon and there were a decent flow of customers but the food was served quickly. Happy with the friendly service, price and atmosphere. Would highly recommend!“
“I have been eating here for over 7 years. This place makes the quintessential wet super burrito. The flavors are straight from Mexico and it just doesn't get better than this. Every ingredient is very high quality. The toasting on the tortilla is superior. The way the sauce and cheese melts on the top is so satisfying. Prices here are fair, and there's a self-service area for limes, cilantro, and salsa.“
“Me and my wife went there for lunch today, we had queso fundido with carne asada , huevos with machaca very traditional and delicious and also had a fish ceviche which it was also very good,service was very nice and attentive highly recommended , place a nice , clean and spacious we are definitely going back soon“
“If you really want to have elevated Mexican food and a good drink or drinks. I would not hesitate to come back to Tzunun. I consider this place to be one of the top, if not the top Mexican restaurant in the bay. And that says a lot about me coming from San Diego. Because most Mexican restaurants here are just ok, I mean just OK. Ok, they are not that good. I'm glad I found this one.“
“Just tried this place for the first time and WOW! I had their Huevos A La Mexicana breakfast burrito and it’s one of the best I’ve had in town. It was a messy to eat but that’s how you know it’s the real deal! Seating is outside and wasn’t too crowded for a Sunday. The staff was very friendly. I will definitely be going back to try the rest of their menu!“
“This is by far, in my opinion, the best taco truck in Oakland. I ordered two regular asada burritos, which come with cheese and sour cream, for me and bro. As always, there were a bunch of others ordering their food as well, but the wait wasn’t bad at all. The area isn’t the best, but I’ve been coming here for decades and have never had any issues. Don’t cheat yourself, if you haven’t had tacos or burritos from here, TRY IT TODAY!“
“Fabulous place the food here is terrific. My wife and I have eaten here gotten takeout and picked catering for a party we had. Everything was fresh and delicious and they aren't skimpy on the portions. Some of our favorite items are the chicharrón tacos, the carne asada, the chips and tamales. Both the corn and flour tortillas are good. I get a bag of the flour ones to make wraps or quesadillas with for lunch . The house green salsa is great and if you want some heat try the red. Glad we found this place!“
“Never ate here previously but decided to order Door Dash. I honestly expected the worst but I was mistaken!! My Surf & Turf burrito with added chicken & shrimp was !!!! I also had the homemade chips (tooo greasy & added to the bag straight out of the oil is not cool) which came in a grease filled paper bag but they were delicious with my rice & beans ( once I got it home & seasoned it). Definitely coming back!Suggestion: Drain your chips prior to put them in a bag for Your Customers & season the Rice & Beans! They are currently too bland!“
“I thought I'd finally check them out. Friendly people, my 2 asada taco were fine. I didn't add anything extra, so meat, onion cilantro. The corn tortillas was legit. A bit of pickled jalapeño, radish, and lime on the side. My interest now piqued, I'll try their enchiladas next. So far, I like.“
“Very rich and cheap, they serve you in a good way ? only the very dangerous area because of the black race that goes around assaulting and stealing but we wanted to continue supporting them with black matters now they do what they want without being “
“These tacos were excellent. I had four tacos to try different meats and they were all super. Love the crunchiness of the tortilla, the taste of the meat, the grilled onions on the side. The truck itself looks super rundown, don't let that distract you from the goodness that is served. Grab a chair outside in the sun and scarf down some excellent food.“
“It is great Mexican food in Moraga with the correct price point, family run, I had a few meals from there back in the early 2000's but have been a consistent customer since 2013 (less these days unfortunately b/c I no longer work in Moraga). Enchiladas are excellent, friggin hard shell beef tacos (w/extra spicy salsa) out of this world, the hardshell taco must be eaten immediately on location.“
