" I just had the fish tacos, and honestly, I think they needed a bit more seasoning. They were fresh, but they came off a bit bland for my palate. The service was friendly and quick, which is always a plus. I did love the outdoor seating area’s vibe; it’s great for enjoying a sunny day in Oakland. Overall, a decent taco truck with potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is generally tasty, but sometimes I find the prices a bit steep considering what you get. My fish tacos were good but not extraordinarily so. The restaurant does have a nice local feel, and the staff are friendly. It’s a nice spot if you’re craving seafood, but don’t expect the biggest portions—you might leave still feeling a bit hungry. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ultimate taco spot in Oakland! I can't recommend it enough—the birria tacos were massive and oh-so-delicious. I'm not sure if it was the cooking or what, but they had the perfect amount of spice. I was thrilled to find such a gem in the city; it felt like a true taste of home. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience at Aguachiles El Tamarindo! The seafood dishes were fresh and flavorful, but I found the rice a little overcooked. Regardless, the tacos stole the show! I would recommend anyone visiting Oakland to stop by and give them a try. It’s worth it even with a few minor flaws. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a seafood lover, I was excited to try Aguachiles El Tamarindo. The aguachiles were delicious; the freshness of the shrimp really shone through! I loved the spicy kick. They could, however, improve a bit on service speed, but the flavors definitely made up for it. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Aguachiles El Tamarindo multiple times, and though the food is generally tasty, I had a disappointing experience last time. I ordered the quesabirria tacos, but they were a bit soggy and lacked the crunch I’d hoped for. I expressed my concerns, and the staff were polite but didn’t offer to fix it. I love this place and the flavors they create, but I hope to see improvements next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a place with authentic Mexican seafood, and Aguachiles El Tamarindo did not disappoint. The camarones a la diabla tacos were simply to die for! The heat was just right. The staff was accommodating too. Just a little pricey for my budget but hey, you get what you pay for. Highly recommend for delicious and authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)
