50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Moraga

“5 Stars – Highly Recommend for Catering!. I recently ordered catered food for pick-up for a birthday party from this taqueria and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The owner was incredibly helpful in guiding me through how much food to order for our event, and he was spot-on — we had just the right amount with only some chips left over - the guacamole was bomb and now I know next time to order double!

We went with chicken and steak tacos, rice and beans, salsa, and guacamole. Everything was delicious, but the steak tacos really stood out — the meat was fresh, tender, perfectly seasoned, and not fatty like you sometimes get at a taqueria. Multiple guests at the party complimented the food, and it was a definite hit!

Ordering and pickup were both super easy. Rocio, the cashier who helped us at pick-up, was extremely friendly and made sure our entire order was complete and ready to go.

If you’re planning a party or event, I highly recommend this place for catering (as long as you have someone to pick it up). I’m already looking forward to coming back to try more in person!“

“my mom used to take me here when i was a little kid. I live out in Martinez as an adult, but I come all the way because this place is worth it. The BEST! If you are looking for authentic and delicious food, with even better people who treat you so well, this is the place for you. You create your own meal if you like or choose off of their menu with a special section for fusion items. I’m glad they’re still open. I remember it wasn’t sure they would be during pandemic. PLEASE do your part and help these hard working people continue their legacy for as long as they dream“

“Taco Bell—what can I say that hasn’t already been immortalized in the annals of fine dining history? This location transcends the fast-food experience. You don’t just “grab a taco” here; you embark on a culinary journey crafted by the hands of artisans.

The ambiance? Imagine: the subtle hum of fluorescent lighting, the symphony of soft drink dispensers. The staff? Nothing short of impeccable, providing service with the warmth and precision of a five-star establishment. And let’s talk about the menu. From the zesty Crunchwrap Supreme to the perfectly layered Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos, each dish feels like it’s been curated by a team of world-renowned chefs.
Don’t miss your chance to experience greatness.“

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤“

“Excellent food, wonderful friendly service“

“Los tacos muy ricos y las salsas muy ricas también“

“How cool that this Oakland gem has adapted during the pandemic! All of the delicious drinks and all kinds of new menu items all for take-out in...wait for it...compostable containers...even the bottles the drinks come in! Please support this sustainability-minded, amazing and delicious restaurant. They have a few outdoor tables, too. Go. Go now!“

“Ate at Golondrinas for the first time tonight. Ordered the special pupusas (zucchini and cheese) which came with a side of slaw plus some spicy sauce it was outstanding. Couldn't help but eat the entire plate of food. Had their green salad which was a very generous portion of incredibly fresh greens with shredded carrots and pepitas. It was a simple but totally delectable salad; easily enough to share if I had been with someone else. My main course was the poblano mole enchiladas with chicken and refried beans -- OMG soooo delicious. The mole was truly one of the best I have eaten! The refried beans were delectable. Felt like I was eating food made by someone who loved me. Highly encourage you to go and enjoy some of the best Mexican food I've ever eaten!“

“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.“

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

“Pleasant environment, friendly people and delicious food❤️“

“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 😋“

“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.“

“This place is WAY TOO GOOD!! Everytime i go through Concord or stop in Concord i have to stop here everytime! I’ve had probably half their menu by now, and i’ve not had 1 bad dish. Definitely a must stop place if you want authentic mexican food with atmosphere that feels like home away from home.“

“Si buscas una experiencia auténtica de la cocina mexicana, no puedes dejar de visitar **Cielito** en Denville, California. Este restaurante se destaca por ofrecer una variedad de platillos mexicanos elaborados con ingredientes de la más alta calidad. Además, el servicio es excepcional, lo que hace que cada visita sea especial. Y no olvides probar su selección de bebidas, ¡son simplemente deliciosas! Sin duda, un lugar que vale la pena conocer. ¡Espero que lo disfruten!“

“Delicious burritos - 3 versions Super, Regular, and Baby. With the Baby, I always have more left for later. I've not tried the other typical (enchiladas etc) Mexican fare, but have no doubt it's just as yummy. They don't take cards.“

“Came here for a baked potato and realized theres so much more to it than that! They had some delicious birria tacos and even birria ramen! The fish tacos were so delicious too. Im not usually one to divert from my usual agua de pepino but the drink with pineapple and i think it was spinach or something, i cant remember, but it was soo yummy too. The only thing that was really hard to figure out was parking. I spent like 30 minutes each time just going around the whole thing looking for parking. To be fair it was rush hour so there was a lot of traffic too.“

“👍🌮🌮🌮🌮🌯🌯🌯🍛🍛🥘🥙🥗🍤🍤🍗🌮🌮🌮🌮🍺🍺🍳🌮🌯🌮“

“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.“

“Fantastic place to get tacos after a round of disc golf at Oyster Bay. Portion sizes are large, prices are good, the staff is super friendly, and most importantly, everything is delicious! The queso birria were outstanding and the carnitas was excellent, both in a taco and in a burrito. As a side note, the washroom was *immaculate*! My only minor niggle is that I didn't think their salsas were up to the caliber of the rest of their offerings. The music was a bit loud for me which is why I gave atmosphere 4 stars rather than 5, but it might be because I'm old. I will definitely be returning!“

“I recently moved to the neighborhood and called a pick up order for a burrito. They were so kind to call me back because I forgot to mention the type of beans I wanted. When I went in, they were extremely nice and my burrito was massive. Chips and salsa were great. Large drink selection. Everything they do is in house. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Our first visit last night. If you want real Mexican food, this is the spot. We tried the Quesabirria and the street tacos and honestly it doesn’t get better than this. What really makes this place special is that it’s family owned and you can feel it. Mom is in the kitchen cooking everything herself and it shows. The food tastes cared for. And the margaritas were spot on too. Places like this are rare now. Honest food, warm people, and recipes that clearly matter to them. We’ll be back often.“

“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!“

“excelente servicio y la comida deliciosa“

“Great Food Friendly service“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Where do I even start. I LVOE DOÑA. I DoorDash from them at least 5x a week. Also love their sister restaurant Tacubaya, wear their merch and rave about them to all my friends. The ingredients taste so fresh, the seasonal agua frescas make my week and when I dine in, I love the upbeat atmosphere. Great place to stop for a drink after work, or a night out with the girls! So much love for this establishment!!!❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾“

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤“

“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!“

“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👍🏻“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Muy deliciosa la comida estilo Guadalajara muy bonito lugar fue mi primera ves ir y me gusto lo recomiendo 100% ambiente familiar“

“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.“

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“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).“

“Food was ok. Got the huevos rancheros. The refried beans were like a puddle of light brown with a scant amount of cheese- like a teaspoon. The star is the wonderful variety of veggies at the salsa bar. The place is functional, like a cafe. The people work hard to cut and prepare the food and clean the place. I hope they provide better quality of entrees. Like real beans in the refried beans. Place was empty.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Best Mexican food in the Bay Area hands down. Terrible area, but the food is so good. Pro tip, EVERYWHERE you go tacos are $3.25+, so don’t get them. Get a quesadilla or burrito instead. Tacos are universally overpriced and too small, especially when you’re like me and eat 6 in one sitting.“

“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“

“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!“
