“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!“

The Carne asada tacos are delicious, the street corn is tastey, & the tostiloco's satisfies every bit of my savory craving for the day. Basically, they have a little something for everyone! Salty, Sweet, refreshing...you name it, they GOT 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.“

“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!“

“We loved belle! She was a great server!“

“The food was delicious! I had a super burrito and two tacos. My girlfriend ordered two tacos and carne asada fries. Honestly I don't remember the meat we got in our tacos but it was so good and the salsa wasn't too spicy but it had a kick. The burrito was so great and very filling. Oh and the cucumber water was so refreshing and my girl liked her drink, I don't remember what it was though.

The service was great. They brought our food out, were attentive to our needs when we needed an extra fork or napkins. And the ambiance is really welcoming. It reminds me of my tias houses when I would visit in Mexico.“

“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!“

“Best Mexican food in Castro Valley to add to the wonderful taste of ghost food, their owner Doña Rosa it’s a gem, she’s wonderful, caring, so kind and make you feel right at home! Best of the best!“

“Whenever I’m in Danville I make it a point to stop in. The food is some of the best in the area. The tacos has heaping amount of meat. Prices are reasonable. Staff is very friendly. The big surprise is the brownies, yes brownies. Delicious and super moist.“

“I had the taco fino, and the carne asada, pollo pastor, and birria tacos. Salsa is great and I want to try the spicier ones, everything’s delicious.

I want to eat more tacos here than is reasonable for any person.

No one can stop me.“

“People are so warm and friendly!!! Our new favorite place ❤️“

“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!“

“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 …“

“These churros were literally the best I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t know how he does it but the churros maintain the heat inside but are still very crispy and buttery and sweet! We stopped by today and luckily got the last batch! A huge bag for $10!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I'm very happy with this discovery. It is definitely one of the best local Mexican food experiences I've had. Food was very flavorful. We tried out the Asada, Pastor and Carnitas. The Pastor was amazing. The Super Burrito is truly super in size and lasted a couple of meals.“

“Recomiendo a taqueria familiar por su sabor tan único. 🌸“

“Good food nice service nothing but the best“

“The veggie supreme tacos ($4 each) with a side of jalapenos were the bomb! They were so fresh and delicious. Will be coming back again and again! We got chips and salsa ass well and they were fresh and tasty too. We demolished the large tacos on no time.

Great service and friendly and attentive staff.“

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

“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!“

“Incredible, an exquisite experience, very good customer service, very friendly and above all the food is very tasty and there is a lot of hygiene, it is really advisable to try that food ?

Parking: If there are many accessible places

Kid-friendliness: A comfortable atmosphere the tables have large chairs

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, very accessible, everything comfortable“

“Muy deliciosa la comida estilo Guadalajara muy bonito lugar fue mi primera ves ir y me gusto lo recomiendo 100% ambiente familiar“

“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.“

“los mejores tacos y el mejor servicio siper recomendado.“

“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“

“the services was great the first time the second they mess up my order and was refunded with no questions asked I'm happy to have customer service like that.“

“One of the best mexican food I’ve ever tasted. I love everything they served! The best comfort food. I hope can visit union city again.“

“The tacos and everything are very good, they just have to improve the issue of the lemons, where they buy them, because they don't have anything sumo, and you only ask and order lemon because they don't add any sumo, but otherwise the food and the tacos I love them“

“Best Mexican food in the Bay Area hands down. Terrible area, but the food is so good. Pro tip, EVERYWHERE you go tacos are $3.25+, so don’t get them. Get a quesadilla or burrito instead. Tacos are universally overpriced and too small, especially when you’re like me and eat 6 in one sitting.“

“Went on a rainy Saturday and there was several spaces of parking in the lot adjacent to restaurant. Upon entering, the interior and layout feels a bit hodgepodge with the cashier in the center of the restaurant. The lady who took my order was friendly and verified my order along with the total price before I paid. I ordered Menudo and Lengua Burrito. The Menudo had the option of containing pata/feet. The broth was absolutely perfect and very typical of Tijuana style Menudo. It did not come with hominy sadly, and I suppose with the highest price I've ever paid for a bowl, I might have reconsidered my order. The tripe in the Menudo was just slightly more soft than I prefer but objectively, this was the bowl of flavorful Menudo that my cravings desired. The Lengua (beef tongue) burrito was huge! That said there was more rice than beans in the burrito and I wouldn't be mad if it had more beans instead. The lengua was cooked perfectly and was seasoned well. I can't believe I'm saying this but in a tongue burrito, I think less cheese works the best. Corn tortillas included in my order and salsas were delicious. Overall, I enjoyed the food. I'd come back to try another item for sure.“

“Very good food, and the chips and salsa are addictive!“
