Great local restaurant , family owned, amazing dishes and great service!
What a special place! The food is fantastic and so is the family that runs Obelisco. I go with and without the kids, and they’ve always been very accommodating of my kids and even have a kids menu.
Wow! New favorite restaurant?!
Y’all this place is amazing - the interior design is gorgeous, with a big window open to the sidewalk.
The drinks are delightful - heavy wine pours and a bit of extra margarita in a shot glass, heck yes.
The fajitas were genuinely some of the best I’ve had in my life.
To top it off, it’s very lesbian/queer friendly and next door to a queer art gallery 🏳🌈

Obelisco Restaurant is an excellent place to eat and have a good time. The food is very tasty, with affordable prices and excellent customer service. The waiters and cooks are friendly and attentive, serving freshly cooked dishes in a nice indoor dining area. The restaurant offers healthier food options with fresh ingredients, including great veggies options. Popular menu highlights include the Tostada salad with chicken, featuring a bed of mixed greens, beans, pico de gallo, and crispy tortillas, as well as delicious enchiladas with green salsa. The albondigas, shrimp tacos, and pozole are also highly recommended by customers. Don’t forget to try their flutes, which are a favorite. The food is consistently delicious, and the restaurant is very clean and well-organized. Obelisco Restaurant is a fantastic Mexican eatery that is sure to please.
Recently, visitors shared that the food shines in magnificent simplicity, and dishes like Chile Relleno and Pollo en Mole are highly recommended. The flavors evoke a sense of home-cooked meals that create a magical and memorable experience. The hospitality is heartfelt, and the space is beautiful, making every visit special. Customers praised the tender and flavorful carnitas, the rich and balanced chicken mole with its complex, velvety sauce, and the bright, bold salsas with their own personality. The refried beans are smooth and savory, offering comfort food at its best, while the guacamole is fresh, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. The restaurant feels like a labor of love, shining through in every detail from the food to the warm, welcoming energy of the team. Visitors are eager to return and support this beautiful new addition to the community.
Another guest mentioned that the staff was warm and attentive, with a host named Align sharing the story of the family’s restaurant journey. The food, including mole, flan, salsa, and guacamole, is homemade with natural, fresh ingredients, and the drinks are highly praised. The chef, who is also the owner’s mother, personally stops by tables to ensure every dish is intentional and special. Overall, Obelisco Restaurant offers not just a meal but a beautiful experience that Oakland is fortunate to have.
