" I can't speak highly enough about Mi Grullense! Everything from the food quality to the energy in the restaurant was top-notch. I had the mar y tierra plate and it was bursting with flavor. The shrimp and beef were delicious and well-balanced. While the service was a tad slow, the end result made the wait worthwhile. If you're in the area, definitely pop in for a meal! You won't regret it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mi Grullense last Saturday and had a wonderful experience overall. The place was busy, but the staff was attentive. I tried their shrimp tacos, and they were fresh and flavorful! The ambiance felt warm and welcoming. However, the only downside was the slight wait time for our food to arrive. Despite that, I would definitely return for the delicious food and friendly service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mi Grullense will always hold a special place in my heart! They have the best sopes I've ever tasted. The combination of beans, meat, and toppings creates an explosion of flavor with every bite. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for gatherings with friends, making it an essential place to visit in Oakland. Just between you and me, I think the prices are a steal considering the quality! Can't wait to come back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have nothing but good things to say about Mi Grullense! Each time I visit, the food is consistently delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful, even when they're busy. I recommend the chicken burrito; it’s massive and filled with so much flavor! The ambiance is vibrant and lively, making it a perfect spot to enjoy with friends. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I love the atmosphere of Mi Grullense. It feels so welcoming with its colorful decor and upbeat music. I ordered the ceviche and was blown away by the freshness of the seafood. It's always a good place to gather with friends, but an area of improvement could be their service speed during busier times. Still, the quality of food speaks for itself, making it a favorite in Oakland! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit disappointed with my visit to Mi Grullense. Although the vibes were great and the decor was charming, the service was unfortunately lacking that day. It took quite a while for our server to check on us, and when we did get our food, it wasn't as good as I had hoped. I had the pozole, and there were more bones than meat in my portion. It's hard to say if I would come back, but perhaps I just caught them on a bad day. " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors at Mi Grullense truly transport you to Mexico! I adore their tacos and ceviche; both are packed with authentic flavors. It was such a pleasant surprise to find this restaurant with such rich tastes in Oakland! The service was polite but could be faster, especially during my visit when the restaurant was full of patrons. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're looking for genuine Mexican eats!
