I grew up in The Mission eating El Farolito, but I now call Oakland home. This always satisfies the cravings of a Carne Asada Super Burrito as most Oakland taquerias don't quite compare in my taste. The carnitas super quesadilla doesn't quite hit the spot (however still good). Service is always friendly, parking is good at night, calling 5-10 min ahead of time always helps. Highly recommend.

I was searching for Mexican food at night and drove along International Boulevard, where I spotted many food trucks. After reading the reviews and looking at their menus, I decided to try a spot that caught my interest. I ordered a shrimp burrito, and when I initially checked the prices posted on maps, I thought they were reasonable. However, once I went inside, I found that the prices were significantly higher than at other places I had looked at.

A bustling diner doing a busy trade, a large percentage carry out. I had the Camarones de Ajo. Prices were very reasonable, the portions generous and the food tasty and nicely spiced.

It doesn't pretend to be anything but a nice, quick meal at a good price. I admit to being picky about shrimp, and these were a bit overcooked for my taste. Beans and rice were as expected. Nicely cooked peppers and onions. Sauces available to heat up the spices ad desired...
