I had the Mango 🥭 Avocado 🥑 Shrimp 🍤 Ceviche it was like an explosion of flavors in my mouth, I couldn’t stop eating it. Great tacos 🌮 everything was beyond my expectations. I have probably walked by Puesto’s a hundred times but not anymore it will be my restaurant of choice when in Concord you have to try it. Sorry no picture of the Ceviche 😋“

“Omg! this place ess awesome! the chicken & waffles were to die for.. I will be returning.soon!“

“We had a wonderful meal here! I got carne asada which was my favorite and queso birria which was good as well. My dad loved the shrimp tacos. The back patio is the perfect place to watch the World Cup! Absolutely keeping this place on my list of favorites! And they were exceedingly accommodating, my dad is allergic to cilantro and they accommodated him completely!“

“We just started going here on a whim and we've been twice now. Service and food are consistently very good. I appreciate the consistency. The shrimp tacos are excellent, their carnitas are almost as good as mine 😉, and we reeeeaaaly like the flavors of their salsas maybe a little more spice for my husband (he likes a sauce to punish him!). Its our new favorite!“

“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“the food's good, nothing was amazing but more importantly nothing was bad.“

“Pleasant environment, friendly people and delicious food❤️“

“the chicken is the best around and the al pastor is to die for“

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤“

“Great burritos and service. The pozole (ask for toppings) was delicious. Mostly, I loved sitting at the counter and having a beautiful bay breeze hit my face while having lunch. Oakland as it is. Everyday life is romantic if you can stop and experience it.“

“👍🌮🌮🌮🌮🌯🌯🌯🍛🍛🥘🥙🥗🍤🍤🍗🌮🌮🌮🌮🍺🍺🍳🌮🌯🌮“

“10/10 highly recommend! Fresh, tasty, quality ingredients prepared and plated to perfection! Portion sizes are worth the price. Affordable, tasty eats with excellent customer service in a lovely outdoor setting. My son and I had the fish tacos and shared a steak & shrimp birria taco. OMG! INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS AND FLAVORFUL, down to the sliced carrots! I was visiting from the East Coast where they know NOTHING about authentic Mexican food! I could eat at La Grana Fish EVERY DAY!“

“Went there yesterday and we had a great experience. Service and food was excellent! Highly recommend!“

“My fave place to grab n go some homemade muy rico tamales! It's literally a window you order at, limited street parking, but you can get thicc delicious tamales hot and ready to eat or to keep for another day. They last a week in the fridge. But mine never last that long. Chicken is my fave, the cheese is good too. Veggies is my least fave but I still like it! Huge portions. Quality people and hearty tamales. Go get you some from Tamaleria Azteca!“

“I when today at 4pm and the food was amazing, I would definitely go back, a highlight that I have is that the cashier was hella nice she was telling me how she loves my outfit and that I have pretty eyes. And I just love that you know girls for girls ❤️❤️“

“Staff is Super Friendly & Courteous and the food speaks for it self. My favorite is the Carne Asada plate with grilled hot jalapeño and two Crispy taco plane is as well delicious. Pretty much everything on the menu is delicious 😋 I can’t forgot their horchata is alway good 🥤“

“I recently moved to the neighborhood and called a pick up order for a burrito. They were so kind to call me back because I forgot to mention the type of beans I wanted. When I went in, they were extremely nice and my burrito was massive. Chips and salsa were great. Large drink selection. Everything they do is in house. Can’t wait to go back!“

“First of all to earthwormandruw, to be complaining about getting more food than you expected is actually insane. Second of all, this place is so consistently good, fast, and great value for what you get. I got a burrito (which admittedly is making me fart so hard rn) and it was extremely delicious. I’ve been here a few times for lunch and will definitely be coming back. Oo ya ya“

“Love the whole vibe. Recently, my whole family did a challenge to try every burrito on the island, and TACO FINO's cali burrito came out on top. Putting tater tots into a burrito is genius! Elizabeth and Sawyer like the bridge with all the unique trucks and cars. For being only around a year old, this restaurant has left my kids waiting for the next time we have takeout. 5/5 on everything. ⭐“

“Good Burritos and good service“

“Amazing Tortas, tacos, nachos, and more!“

“People: do try the green pozole, breakfast burrito, chile relleno (the chile relleno is exceptionally good), and ceviche. I have tried the mentioned dishes more than twice and the consistency is always the same: excellent! Yum, yum!“

“Well well well. I finally tried it. I have been told Dona’s is the place to try. And it didn’t disappoint!!!! Great friendly service, no waiting, and the food was superb. Jose recommended everything I loved and it was my first time. Felt like he just read my mind. And when someone no need to mention names made a small error, manager stepped up and fixed it immediately! Churos are to die for and the food is just authentically Mexican … and did you know if you buy wine at the local vino spot, they will wave $15 corkage?! Follow me for more fun tips …“

“Our family and friends celebrated at home with an array of our favorites for all tastes. The staff went all out for us with abundant sides. Leftovers for days later. Our family and guests were 😃. Reasonable expenses. Will do again!“

“The customer service is amazing, enjoyed my margarita. A friend recommended their shrimp salad so that’s my next try. And of course I can’t forget, they gifted me 2 tickets to see Joe and Tamia at the Paramount and my sister and I had an absolutely amazing time!“

“Taqueria La Plaza is a neighborhood gem!

My husband and I love walking here for lunch: He usually gets a burrito and I go between enchiladas and a breakfast burrito (which is offered ALL DAY!). There are so many meat choices! They throw in a bowl of chips and unlimited access to their salsa bar. I also enjoy their aqua fresca or horchata on occasion.

You can eat indoors or outdoors (both covered and sunny tables), or take your food to go.“

“It’s the best Restaurant in town came with Family and we had a great time! Food was great and drinks 🍹 we all loved the dessert as well! Just amazing service and food! My Favorite for sure! 2914 College Ave Berkeley Ca“

“The family atmosphere is what hooked us. We used to go here maybe once or twice a month before the pandemic. Since they reopened, they are closed on Monday’s, our usual day so it’s been 3 years since we’ve been there. They still recognized us though! We ordered as we walked in so the wait wasn’t long at all.“

“Una comida auténtica de los ancestros aztecas.una variación de moles“

“The food was delicious… Absolutely melted in my mouth. I had a chicken burrito everything was cooked to perfection… Our waiter Avery was out of this world...in addition to the food...he just makes the place👍🏻“

“Excellent authentic Mexican dishes with menu items for the more California Mexican pallet. Very reasonably priced. It can be a bit spicy but some dishes can be adjusted. Excellent flavors and good sized portions make it a great value. Looking forward to coming back and trying different dishes!“

“Great Food Friendly service“

“My first time trying Mexican food!!
If you are into original non glamorous places with fantastic food, THIS WILL BE UP YOUR ALLEY! This is a family own restaurant with a full service bar adjacent room. The micheladas are insane! They have cool variety of imported beer and local to choose. The birria go some and the tiny been tacos will blow your mind.
Just watch out for the life mariachi bands if you don’t like loud music.“

“my favorite Mexican restaurant. great food, super friendly and consistent. been going here for almost 15 years.“

“Our team at Diablo Valley Funeral Home recently ordered lunch from Cinco de Mayo, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The crispy tacos were absolutely amazing—perfectly prepared with great flavor and just the right crunch.

Everything was made flawlessly, and you could tell care went into every detail. On top of that, the food was ready quickly, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free for our busy staff.

Everyone in the office thoroughly enjoyed their meal, and we truly appreciate the efficiency and quality. We’ll definitely be back to support this great local spot!“

“We went to eat here tonight for the first time and they definitely did not disappoint! We ordered various things tacos, quesadillas, and a pambazo and they were all delicious. The meat was tenders, flavorful, super reasonable prices, and not greasy at all. Everything tasted really good and we will definitely be back!“
