Oakland Taqueria Mi Zacatecas Makes Gorditas Unlike Any Others in the Bay Area - Eater SF

"Mi Zacatecas, a small taqueria operated by Cecilia Chairez, offers unique Zacatecan gorditas and other regional specialties. Located in Deep East Oakland, it draws customers from afar, particularly Zacatecan immigrants seeking the flavors of home. The restaurant features a variety of Zacatecan dishes, including chicharrón en salsa roja, pork and nopales stew, beef barbacoa, and Zacatecan-style chiles relleno. Despite some compromises due to local ingredient availability, Chairez aims to familiarize customers with Zacatecan cuisine and make it popular." - Luke Tsai
