The 17 Best Tacos in the Oakland, Richmond, and the East Bay | Eater SF

"First things first: don’t be daunted by the line. It moves fast — and it’s worth it. Earning its status as a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant in 2021, Tacos Oscar continues to draw taco-heads from all over the Bay. Its unexpected, constantly rotating menu of California-ized takes have made this spot “in the alley” a local favorite. On one day, you might get to snag a pork chile verde con chicharrón and a beloved charred broccoli taco on handmade corn tortillas. Show up the next evening and you’ll be delighted to see their mushroom mole is back or maybe even a camote taco topped with queso fresco and house-made salsa macha. It’s a surprise-and-delight, taco edition, that we can all get behind." - Lena Park
