“A huge shout-out to Boca Nova for their excellent food and service last night. We had a large reception for UC Office of the President's Health department prior to today's conference. The food was amazing and plentiful, service was impeccable, and Martin who I worked with from start to finish, was great. He was knowledgeable about the restaurant and food, offered guidance about the food when I needed it, was such a gentleman, and made us feel like we were dining in his own home. I can't thank you enough. I highly recommend this amazing restaurant. Thank you!“

“The Torta Cubana was very delicious! The bread was buttery and crunchy which paired very well with the meaty filling. I really appreciate when a place uses a good amount of mayo, but not excessive and Cholita Linda aced it! Their agua de Tamarindo was also nicely tart and sweet which I absolutely would return for!“

“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“

“Although we enjoyed our time, we were disappointed when we tried to order more drinks but couldn't get the attention of the waitress. We waited for over 30 minutes with empty glasses. The ambiance was fantastic, and the staff appeared friendly, but we didn't get a chance to try the food.“

Bacon Egg Cheese Sausage Sandwich
Yuca Con Chicharon

“I was craving breakfast; my brother told me about this place . After reading the reviews I agreed . A lot of us get thrown off because of the location; it's in the ghetto. We live a couple blocks from this place ; always saw it but never checked it out. Let me tell you it's Outstanding ! The food quality and quantity is great. I got a French toast breakfast combo . The quality is better than your nearest I*HOP or D*NNYS. Props to this place . Hash browns are toasty not soggy , sausage is high quality and bacon . Large portions. French toast came with plenty syrup and butter. This place is not stingy at all. My brother said ambience is great and family like . Props to the owners and Chef ! Food was so good I didn't take a picture. Hispanic owned place , always happy to see my people thrive.“

“Came here for Oakland Restaurant week, was underwhelmed. While there were some good bites amongst the many we shared, this left me craving more traditional authentic dishes with more flavor. The lamb tongue and crab taquitos were pretty tasty, but everything else was pretty forgettable.“

Highly recommend giving it a try.I’ve been wanting to give it a try and finally did! Can’t wait to try other items in their menu. They are vegetarian friendly as well!Vegetarian options: They have huaraches that you can customize for it to be vegetarian, and there’s different options for it. They also have chiles rellenos.“

Pupusas and Curtido

“BOMB tasting pupusas... the lady cooking is awesome. The lady behind the register... well she should get up off her phone and HELP the cook because while the cook lady is busting her a** and getting backup by work the register lady is chilling on her phone. I personally gave the cook a tip for all her hard work that I saw while I ate.“
