" Every time I come to Island Taqueria, I’m always amazed at how fresh the ingredients are. My favorite is their fish taco – it’s always consistent in flavor. The service is usually friendly, but it can be hit or miss during busy hours. Overall, I still feel like this place hits the mark for a satisfying meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Island Taqueria reminds me of the little taquerias I used to visit back in Mexico. The carne asada burrito is to die for! I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and always receive friendly service. I love that they have options for everyone, including vegetarian choices. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for authentic flavors in Alameda. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made my way to Island Taqueria last weekend, and it was everything I hoped for! The tacos were authentic and packed with flavor. My dining experience was made even better by the friendly staff; they made sure we were taken care of. Even though it was crowded, we enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered Island Taqueria, and I have been back three times in a month! The fish tacos were surprisingly good and an authentic take not often found in taquerias. The prices are reasonable, considering the quality of food they serve. My only complaint is that during busy times, I noticed a wait for my order, but the food is worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Island Taqueria is a small gem in Alameda that offers fantastic Mexican food. The tacos are authentic, especially the carne asada ones. However, I was disappointed with the service during my last visit as the staff seemed overwhelmed despite it not being too busy. I recommend trying their new specials and taking advantage of the lunch deals when you can. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great Mexican food! The burrito was generous and tasty! I loved how the meal was plated; it felt like I was at a proper sit-down restaurant, despite the fast-casual vibe. However, the service could benefit from being a bit more attentive during busy hours. I'm definitely coming back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't impressed on my last visit. The food lacked the classic authentic flavors I'm used to. I ordered a chicken burrito, but it didn't stand out, and I had to add a lot of salsa to give it flavor. The service was good, but when I come to a taqueria, I expect the food to be the star of the show. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. " (*Curated Review*)
