“We had a great experience until they called last call. We asked for one more drink when we she said we can only do shots. We purposely wanted mixed shots such as lemon drops and green tea shots. She told us we can only do well shots… really rude and doesn’t make a lot of sense.“

The food here was terrific also, Southern Comfort food & yes the biscuits were great! Each night there is a different band but go see Zinggflower on Monday nights if you can.

“Great portions for the price and the taste is excellent!

I haven’t had such amazing Northern Mexican food since 2020 in Arizona and I went to Playa del Carmen. Which the tacos were just as good but I was missing a good burrito and that’s just what I got.

The carnitas marinade was excellent, no extra salsa required. They also actually have horchata which is the other thing I’d been missing. This one is thick, sweet, and tastes more of vanilla than cinnamon. But it was delicious.“

ibringdasmoke Barbecue • $$
700 Begier Ave, San Leandro - 8.32 miles

“I’ve just recently discovered ibringdasmoke and I’m glad I did! My first order with them was the smoked brisket…it was so good! I just recently ordered a slab of ribs from them and my friend and I loved it! We got a little sample of the Mexican street corn which was very nice of them. I thought it was ok, but my friend enjoyed it. Their spices and the tenderness of their meats are great as well as their bbq sauce. The meat isn’t overly salty which is great. I have recommended this place to my friends and I will definitely be back!“

“Went to dinner with a few of my lady friends after seeing a show in the city, this was the perfect ending to a phenomenal day. I had the crab cakes and they were delish, a couple of people in my group had the fried chicken/fried catfish combo and that looks delicious as well. I highly recommend Lizzy’s Cajun Cafe.“
