Amazing tacos and amazing people. They give much respect to those who need a pretty well-behaved, taco-loving dog with them everywhere they go. I recommend the barbacoa and the piernas and can’t wait to try the consommé. Cash and Zelle only so far.

Officially lost my family & I as a customers. Sent my brother to put up some food. Ordered the LG (1lbs) barbacoa, price listed was $35 and two (LG) consumes with out meat $6 each. Which should have total $47. I was up charge $6 additional dollars totalling $53. This place has never charged tax nor fees and at wont point was cash only, they now take Zelle. They write down orders on sticky notes and do the math themselves. Prices used to be reasonable but the prices have gone up tremendously and very often. I use to dine here at least once a week and now is once in a while, to never again. There were times I order the same thing and paid different prices... I am so done with that BS and have to call them out! I put up with a lot with this place because the food was good, even when the owner (lady) would smoke & the husband that alway skimp the orders.

I will say the lady that been working with them the longest knows her shit and enjoyed her service when she is around i never had any issues.

This place needs to get it together and update there prices across the board and inform customers to any changes, if any!?! I hope they do and soon, they don't want to do this to a person that will report them.

Best barbacoa I've had in the whole bay area, the consomme in particular is amazing and the service was super friendly. I saw Cash+Zelle as payment options, so make sure you aren't relying on just cards, but it's worth it!

Wet, on what tastes like store bought tortillas. Still better than most joints in Oakland but disappointed by the tortillas for such a highly rated place.

Just like I remember back in 96/97. After possibly close to 20+ years of not tasting this delicious seasoning, today I got my fix!

I don't think you can find Barbacoa like this anywhere else in the bay. Absolutley delicious perfect for a Sunday. Don't be a square. Fugedaboutit!

A little bit hard to find but once you do, the taco is worths it. They also offer sweet empanadas which are interesting.
