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

"Yes, this is the real name — and yes, it’s also one of Oakland’s most legendary taco joints. On busy weekend afternoons (or any weeknight for that matter), the parking lot is packed with families and locals looking to grab a quick bite. The staff members are seasoned pros, fielding the long lines with ease. After you walk up to the register and tell them how many tacos you’d like, shuffle your way to the next counter where the real magic happens. Speak loudly to ask for standards like carne asada, al pastor, or carnitas or opt for some tender cabeza or juicy lengua. Then, doctor it yourself with all the salsas, limes, and pickled jalapenos and carrots at the salsa bar on the patio." - Lena Park
