“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Tequila Bar & Grill in San Leandro is an excellent spot if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food in the Bay Area. The chilaquiles, tacos, and burritos stand out for their genuine flavor, and the arrachera is especially worth trying, whether as a main dish or as an addition to the chilaquiles. The sauces that come with the dishes enhance the overall experience. Plus, the cocktails are interesting, and the service is always top-notch. This restaurant offers a great selection of tequilas and is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates Mexican cuisine. I visit this place whenever I can, knowing that whatever I order will be delicious. They’ll be opening a new location in Dublin soon, which is great news for fans of this kind of food!“

“About once a week I order food from Los Pericos because it’s always delicious. My preference is their tacos pastor. Today I decided to order the super burrito with chorizo & asked them to cut it in 1/2. They went a step further & individually wrapped each 1/2. I knew this burrito was going to be lunch & dinner, they didn’t. It may not seem like much to many, their customer service is awesome!“

“This is old school Mexican restaurant and food and thank goodness it still exists. Maze like interiors with old style decor, frescos on the walls, heavy furniture. It just gets more beautiful as the night comes. Polite helpful servers that know the menu. Lots of new variations but I went with the Chile relleno, cheese enchilada, rice and beans. It rushed me back to my childhood. Enjoy.“

“Was honestly surprised on the tacos. The corn tortillas were very fresh and strong taste of corn but not overpowering the flavors of meat. I got birria, lengua and cabeza and all were cooked perfectly. Slightly crispy but perfect amount of oily all cut by the salsa Verde and lime that reduces the oil in mouth feel. Will come back again when I'm in area“

The meat doesn’t have a lot of gristle and fat it’s not dry. They give you plenty of salsa without charging or overcharging you very kind people always smiling. Never rude that combination right there of kindness and good food. This place is a win! Love this place and The bakery a couple stores down. ♥️ Kasandra W.“

“My first time coming to this metro location, and the girl misheard my order over the drive thru order speaker.. I wanted one order of traditional flautas, somehow I got 4 tacos ? I was wondering why it cost so much.. so I went in to the establishment (instead of driving around the drive thru again) and explained the situation. Expecting to walk out with the 4 tacos still in hand, frustrated... I was suprised ?... the girl gave me back the $7 or so that I had overpaid, and was given my flautas.. cooked to perfection ??????“

“La Pinata SL has been our go-to Mexican food restaurant. Whether it's for takeout or a special occasion, we have been eating here 30 years, longer if you include other locations.
The food is consistently good, quality of ingredients is excellent, service is always quick and friendly.
In the 30 years we've been eating here, the only things that have changed are the prices, and recently, we've noticed the portion sizes aren't as generous. but everyone seems to be doing this lately. I can't blame them too much. They have to stay open just like everyone else. We probably eat here at least once or twice per month.
Favorites include Super Famosa Burrito, street tacos, Chicken Mole, Enchiladas Verde, chicken caldo, tamales.
Enjoy!!!“

“This place is great. I have been here about 8 times since I found this spot. It's a taqueria, not a full-blown restaurant, so know what to expect.What they do they do exceptionally well. I will focus on tacos. I have had their tacos de Carne asada, Carnitas, Pollo Asado, and Al Pastor.Where I think they excell is on their Carne Asada and their Pollo Asado. The carne asada is fresh, grilled, not dry, quality cuts, and a healthy serving per taco. The pollo asado is also grilled, fresh, moist, quality cuts with a healthy serving per taco. Both are simply seasoned with salt. They garnish their tacos with cilantro and onion. They use yellow corn tortillas, which have a great corn flavor, don't fall apart easily, and add depth of character to the tacos.If you order 2 or more tacos, you can make it a plate and add Mexican rice and beans. For beans, you can choose from black beans, pinto beans, or refried beans topped with cheese. The rice is flavorful and moist. The beans are creamy and tasty (I have tried all).The Carnitas are moist and not salty. The Pastor is the kind with pineapple and is on the sweeter side. Both are good. None of the food I have had is salty.The staff are courteous and quick. This place is located by an HS, so timing matters.

Vegetarian options: They have veggie bowls and burritos.

Parking: The parking lot is adjacent, free, but small.“
