“Great food, fast efficient service, reasonable price. I had the large lamb gyro at a decent price and it was nicely seasoned, full of fresh lettuce tomato cucumber and onion, and had great tzatziki. They offered hot sauce which I took and it was a great optional addition for me as a spice lover. While waiting I drank free water from a dispenser on the counter and enjoyed the fact that these folks are running a small and quick cafe with authentic food, and not pretending to be my fake friend with effusive over the top “service”. Highly recommended if you enjoy good food and don’t require “the help” to supplicate to you.“

Just like a restaurant deep in the mountains of Mexico, there's no menu, you get what they serve.

Having a nice meal with our daughter was a treat, the service was amazing and the food....OMG! Every bite of every dish I tasted was so so delicious! I can't get the butternut soup out of my head it was THAT good! We all ordered different food & shared bites with one another. This night was so enjoyable! Thank you, Sis & Thank you Mama Oakland!“

“Not a huge fan of the seating layout. I sat on the left side to avoid the loud chatter of people but that meant being on a hard bench with uninteresting decor. Empanadas were wonderful, the ceviche with coconut milk was a pleasant surprise. I wanted to try the arepa but it seemed like the portion was tiny. The chicharron was very flavorful!“

“We were gifted our first ever Bake Sum box. After trying just one bite of a Yuzu meringue bun I knew I needed more. Ordered our second BSB last week and shared amongst the roomies, huge hit. Well baked, not too sweet, great flavor combinations. 10/10 would recommend the Bake Sum box. If you can’t grab a box, you can grab al a cart day of pick ups just to tide you over until you can get a box 😋“

“These bagels are the VERY best in the East Bay, and maybe in the country! I've tried every bagel shop around. No others come close. (An East Coast Jew knows an authentically boiled and baked bagel when she bites into one.) Their lox is also top-shelf.“

“We enjoyed this amazing restaurant for dinner tonight with our aunt and uncle that live here. What a fun place and the decor and ambiance is perfect. I absolutely loved the tapas style of eating and every dish we had was delicious. And we had the best server with making sure we were happy all the time and accommodating one in our group with a food allergy. Very attentive!!“

I met the owner: one of the nicest people I have ever met.“

“If u love a local burger joint and in the east bay then def come here. The ground up their meet and remove all the funky gunk so u just have a juicy, fat burger.
