Obelisco Restaurant

Mexican restaurant · Fruitvale Station

"This low-key restaurant sometimes gets lost in the shuffle amid the number of new, high-profile spots that have opened in the immediate vicinity of the Fruitvale BART station, but Obelisco (formerly Taco Grill) was using Mary’s chicken and Niman Ranch pork and beef before it was trendy and commonplace for local Mexican spots to do so. It’s probably best known for its pozole (available in red, green, and white versions), and it’s also one of the few places in town that serves crispy tacos — get the one with potatoes for some excellent carb-on-carb action." - Luke Tsai, Janelle Bitker
