La Guerrera’s Kitchen Is Bringing the Tamales Back at Its New Oakland Restaurant - Eater SF
"La Guerrera’s also serves as a throwback to Old Oakland’s often-forgotten history as the original hub for Oakland’s Mexican immigrant community before highway construction and redevelopment displaced most of the neighborhood’s Latino residents and businesses starting in the 1950s. Before it closed in 2015, La Borinquena, a Mexican deli-restaurant located just a couple of blocks away, was the place to buy tamales in the East Bay for decades." - Luke Tsai
