Mexican restaurant · Rockridge

"Every neighborhood needs a spot like Cactus Taqueria. While not necessarily the best Mexican in the East Bay, it’s been the neighborhood’s go-to place for cheap, fresh, affordable tacos, burritos, enchiladas, tostadas and other classics for more than a decade. Speaking of tacos, the restaurant is most famous for its crispy corn tortilla shells, which provide a satisfying crunch but are still soft enough to hold everything together. Open for back patio dining, takeout, or delivery." - Clara Hogan, Eater Staff
