My parents started going to La Mexicana before my brother was born and he’s 75. It’s by far the most authentic, tastiest Mexican food we’ve ever had. Rumor has it that they are closing. Rent is too high.

When my mom was pregnant with me, her and my dad would go to La Mexicana. When the family got together for birthdays. La Mexicana was the place to go. When I lived in Alameda I went to La Mexicana twice a month.

My favorite caldo de pollo ever, the best tortillas, and the mole dishes are out of this world. They also have my favorite guacamole. Emma is the best and I'm always so much happier after I visit. Thank you Emma for taking such good care of my family for 30 years now. Te queremos 🥰

Some of the best Mexican food in Oakland! (and thats saying alot). The owner is super nice and the fresh tortillas are so incredible. This place is in my top spots and ive been to a TON of different Taquerias/trucks.

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.

I have literally been eating here my entire life. A nostalgic place for me. Try to make it out here at least once a month.
Came here on Christmas Day at about 5pm, Emma the owner greeted us and was very friendly. The soup of the day was vegetable soup, I declined (didn’t sound appetizing) she brought out the soup anyways an offering of sorts. To my surprise it was extremely delicious. There was cabbage carrots and maybe another vegetable. I ordered the super burrito Asada, it was AMAZING. The meat wasn’t salty it was creamy with thick tortilla. The salsa is a little spicy, addicting. The tortillas are fresh made to order VERY THICK and flavorful not dull tasting. There is parking in the back or on international, the restaurant is very homey, and clean. I could hear the dishes being cleaned reminded me of my nanas house. We have already eaten there again.
I recommend to EVERYBODY especially those who only know of Otaezz Check out this gem & look for Emma.

All I can say my friends had to role me out I was so full. The chips, salsa, and main course got me ?. Highly recommend.It is towards East Oakland so be careful.There is parking in the back. Street parking is slim and on International Blvd so. It would be wise to park in the back.
