" Tried out the tortas and they were drool-worthy! The flavors genuinely reminded me of my mom's cooking. Service was fast, and the place had a relaxed vibe that made my lunch break so much better. The prices are reasonable too, making this a gem of a find in Oakland! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations after hearing great reviews, but my experience was a mixed bag. The tacos al vapor were fantastic, bursting with flavor and authenticity. However, it took way too long to get a server's attention, and the drinks were never filled. I hope they improve on the service because the food is truly exceptional. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I stopped by for lunch, and the atmosphere was family-oriented and very friendly. We enjoyed sharing a variety of tacos, each offering unique flavors. The service was acceptable, though the timing could use improvement. I'll be looking forward to visiting again for another round of tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience here was fantastic! The barbacoa was seasoned perfectly, reminding me of the meals my abuela used to make. The only downside was a bit more waiting time than I'd have liked. Nonetheless, the wait was worth it! I'll return for the freshness and flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting and I was blown away! The barbacoa tacos are rich and just like what I had at family gatherings back home. The service was friendly but a bit slow as they seemed overwhelmed. Overall an excellent experience, and I can't wait to return, especially on a weekend for their special dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love this place! The tacos de barbacoa are my go-to appetite pleaser. Not only do they taste authentic, but the service is friendly, and the decor adds a lovely touch. I do wish they had a better parking setup, but I’ll keep coming back for those tacos for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience here. The food was good, especially the tacos, but the service was lacking. It took too long to get our orders and there seemed to be some confusion with other tables. If you can come in during less busy hours, I believe the quality will shine through more. " (*Curated Review*)
