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

"Four days a week, Elvira Varela props open the white iron gate next to her garage to welcome droves of diners. In her compact, tree-lined backyard, she’s created a haven of Jalisco-style specialties. Think saucy tortas ahogadas, airy tostadas raspadas, and hearty pozole. But the tacos dorados are not to be missed. Choose your filling — the carne deshebrada and rajas con queso are favorites — and they’ll bring you a plate of expertly crisped tacos topped with shredded cabbage and swimming in a classic thin, mild tomato salsa." - Lena Park
