“Ate at Golondrinas for the first time tonight. Ordered the special pupusas (zucchini and cheese) which came with a side of slaw plus some spicy sauce it was outstanding. Couldn't help but eat the entire plate of food. Had their green salad which was a very generous portion of incredibly fresh greens with shredded carrots and pepitas. It was a simple but totally delectable salad; easily enough to share if I had been with someone else. My main course was the poblano mole enchiladas with chicken and refried beans -- OMG soooo delicious. The mole was truly one of the best I have eaten! The refried beans were delectable. Felt like I was eating food made by someone who loved me. Highly encourage you to go and enjoy some of the best Mexican food I've ever eaten!“

“I had a Ratatoullie moment when I ate here, and I am Asian. There is not a drop of latin blood in my body, but when I bit into the al pastor super burrito I legit shed a tear. This place is just as good as, if not better than, the best foods I ate across Mexico.“

“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 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here for a baked potato and realized theres so much more to it than that! They had some delicious birria tacos and even birria ramen! The fish tacos were so delicious too. Im not usually one to divert from my usual agua de pepino but the drink with pineapple and i think it was spinach or something, i cant remember, but it was soo yummy too. The only thing that was really hard to figure out was parking. I spent like 30 minutes each time just going around the whole thing looking for parking. To be fair it was rush hour so there was a lot of traffic too.“

“A Flavorful Journey to Zacatecas: A True Taste of Authentic Mexican Cuisine Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cecilia's Zacatecas Mexican Restaurant, and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience. As soon as I walked through the door, I was captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The aroma of freshly prepared spices filled the air, instantly transporting me to the heart of Mexico. Cecilia's dedication to preserving the authentic flavors of Zacatecas cuisine shines through in every dish. The menu is a treasure trove of traditional delights, showcasing her expertise in crafting delectable recipes. The Birria, a slow-cooked stew bursting with rich flavors, was an absolute standout. Each spoonful was a heavenly blend of tender meat, aromatic spices, and a hint of smokiness. It was a true testament to the care and passion that goes into Cecilia's cooking. Another must-try at this restaurant is the Zacatecas-style Gorditas. These handheld delights are made with love and expertise, with a perfectly fluffy masa exterior encasing a variety of mouthwatering fillings. Whether you opt for savory meats or flavorful vegetarian options, each bite is a symphony of textures and tastes that will leave you craving more. To complement the meal, Cecilia offers traditional Mexican beverages that are as refreshing as they are authentic. The Café de la Olla is a fragrant and invigorating cup of coffee brewed with cinnamon and piloncillo, giving it a unique twist. And the Agua de Horchata, a rice and cinnamon-based drink, provides a soothing and creamy accompaniment to the vibrant flavors of the food. It's clear that Cecilia's passion for cooking stems from her upbringing and the invaluable knowledge passed down to her by her mother. Her dedication to preserving the culinary traditions of Zacatecas is evident in every plate she serves. Not only does she deliver exceptional food, but her warmth and welcoming nature also create an inviting ambiance that makes dining at her restaurant a truly memorable experience. In addition to her culinary prowess, Cecilia's persistence as a Latina business owner deserves applause. It is inspiring to see her success and how she has brought a taste of Zacatecas to our community. Supporting local businesses like Cecilia's is a way to celebrate culture and diversity while enjoying incredible food.“

“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 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!“

“Taqueria Talavera was good! I’m a burrito person and decided to try a different type of burrito instead of my regular carne asada. I decided to go with the specialty Mole burrito and it was spicy and flavorful, I was shocked how good it was. They had music playing also, so while you wait for your food you can could enjoy the music. The service was fast and efficient although I showed up close to closing time, I would for sure eat here again.“

“Where do I even start. I LVOE DOÑA. I DoorDash from them at least 5x a week. Also love their sister restaurant Tacubaya, wear their merch and rave about them to all my friends. The ingredients taste so fresh, the seasonal agua frescas make my week and when I dine in, I love the upbeat atmosphere. Great place to stop for a drink after work, or a night out with the girls! So much love for this establishment!!!❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾“

“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👍🏻“
“What an incredible treat to experience--AND it's situated conveniently in a residential area for accessibility!
The churros are delicious in their own or with a variety of fillings. My favorite is the caramelo (caramel) filling that's made with goat milk. (It's like dulce de leche but warrrrrm.)
The people who run it are also the owners, which means they're invested in creating a friendly, community atmosphere and gladly cater to special requests.
Be prepared to pay either cash, use Zelle or get cash back from the nearby Mexican grocer. There's no option for card payments!“

“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.“

“Growing up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I was totally spoiled by the food — especially the green chile and red chile that you just can’t replicate anywhere else. Even though I’m a California native by birth, I spent my most formative years in New Mexico, and that shaped my palate in a permanent way.
Over the last 20 years living in the Bay Area, I’ve been on a quiet mission: every time a friend from high school or middle school in New Mexico came to visit, I’d try to find a restaurant here that could even remotely live up to what we were raised on. I’d take them to places I thought might pass muster — and every time, they were politely disappointed. So was I.
But today changed everything.
I think I may have just found the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever experienced in California — hands down. And no, I’m not exaggerating.
🌮 Taqueria La Comales Mexican Grill in Oakland
• 🌶️ They will make it spicy if you want it — not just California-spicy, but real-deal chile heat.
• 🥑 Fresh, high-quality ingredients that taste home-cooked, not mass-produced.
• 💸 Extremely affordable — the kind of value that’s almost impossible to find in the Bay now.
• 🫓 Authentic flavor — I mean it. The chile here sings. It reminded me of home.
If you grew up on Hatch green chile and are constantly chasing that familiar, soulful flavor, this is your spot. I can’t even tell you how good it felt to finally taste something that honored where I come from.“

“Food was excellent as usual. Order quickly taken and food came out in a reasonable time. Portions where nice. Only thing I don't like about this place as well as domino's is that the charge card reader forces you to pay a tip or decline it. You need to ask your employer for more money as the cashier if you need tips. I always thought tips where for waiters and not take out food places. Pretty soon McDonald's and even safeway will include this forced option.“

“Probably the most affordable, bang-for-the-buck burrito and quesadilla suiza. They also make a fire bean and cheese burrito if you like to keep it simple on occasion.
I think this El Farolito and SF's seem to have pretty good quality control across the board. There is perhaps a dash or teptoo much salt in the finished product, but it definitely is sort of par for the course when it comes to a lot of takeout and sodium saturation (see Wally's Emeryville, for example - probably the saltiest meal for 20 miles).“

“Food was ok. Got the huevos rancheros. The refried beans were like a puddle of light brown with a scant amount of cheese- like a teaspoon. The star is the wonderful variety of veggies at the salsa bar. The place is functional, like a cafe. The people work hard to cut and prepare the food and clean the place. I hope they provide better quality of entrees. Like real beans in the refried beans. Place was empty.“
