“Fantastic, flavorful, juicy high quality Chicken Verde and Pork Verde Burritos. They got my special request of no sour cream and extra cheese perfectly. The guacamole inside was so fresh, as was the rice, chicken, and whole beans and real Monterey Jack cheese. This is our new go-to spot for excellent Mexican food. And very good prices and service!“

“OMG 😳 The Ceviche (not counting my wife’s handmade ceviche) is the best I have ever tasted, and I’ve tasted a lot of ceviche. It’s soooo good. 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“

“Delicious burritos - 3 versions Super, Regular, and Baby. With the Baby, I always have more left for later. I've not tried the other typical (enchiladas etc) Mexican fare, but have no doubt it's just as yummy. They don't take cards.“

“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!“

“We had the tamales—chicken, pork, cheese and the sweet corn one. All of them tasted great and were pretty generously sized. The red and green salsas were all obviously hand made with some love. I also noticed that the masa used had a pleasantly light, moist quality to it—it wasn’t dense and dry. You just gotta respect the hell out of a place that can serve up a hearty, nutritious packet of goodness like this for around $3.“

“Hurray found a wonderful take out drive and to top it in greatness drive through Hopefully they stay with super nice friendly family restaurant glad we gave it a try“

“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 ❤️❤️“

“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!“

“Good Burritos and good service“

“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. ⭐“

“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“

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

“I’ve not been here in a while and I was reminded how good it is. I had the chile relleno de hongos — mushroom stuffed pepper. It was delicious. I’m not vegetarian,?it’s just what I ordered today. Still they seem to have a great selection for vegetarians. Great patio! I had my dog with me and it was great to sit on their patio.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“This place is awesome. While the standard Tex-Mex tacos and burritos are great and have amazing flavors, make sure you try something unique. The Posole Verde is the best I've ever had, Haurache Asada will out you into a joyous food coma, the Caldo Tlapeno is a go to anytime I need comfort food, and there are so much more here. (And the deserts are worth every calorie!)“

“Great Food Friendly service“

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

“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👍🏻“

“DELICIOUS food, good price, patient and welcoming staff who answered all my questions, clean place. I heard about this place from a local and she said you can never go wrong with “cinco de mayo”, now I see why, I’d come here everyday if I could. Thank you to all the kind staff❤❤ Also amazing salsa and horchata, all green flags from the start!“

“Great food, tortas,tacos y mucho mas“

“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!“
