" I’ll start by saying that my favorite order here is the taco salad. It's a huge portion and packed with fresh ingredients! I appreciate how clean the restaurant is every time I visit. My friends and I love coming here for a casual meal. Parking can be a bit tricky, but it's absolutely worth it for the food. I can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes after hearing the great reviews, but my burrito was underwhelming. I was expecting more authentic flavors. The service was efficient, but the ambiance didn’t feel as inviting as I’d hoped. I'll give it another shot, hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is my go-to for a quick and authentic bite when I'm in Alameda. The carne asada tacos are delicious and just the right amount of spicy. Although seating can be a bit tight during peak hours, it’s well worth the wait. The staff is always friendly and ready to help with recommendations. It's a cozy spot that I appreciate every time I'm in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" What I love most about Island Taqueria is the consistency. I've been coming here for almost a decade, and I always get the same quality of food. The flavors are authentic like you're in Mexico. I usually get the super burrito, which is gigantic and features layers of perfectly cooked meat and fresh toppings. The staff is friendly, and the food comes out fast. It’s one of those places where you know you'll get your money’s worth. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I didn’t think I could find great authentic Mexican food here on the island. Island Taqueria made me a believer! The pork adobada burrito was exceptionally flavorful, though a bit spicy for my taste. The portions are generous enough to share, but I had to finish it because it was just too good! The service was friendly, though I didn't get my salsa right away. " (*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*)
