"La Guerrera’s Kitchen closed their restaurant in Oakland’s Fruitvale in spring 2020, and reopened in Old Oakland in December. We’re glad they did because what comes out of their kitchen is incredible. La Guerrera’s mother-daughter team makes everything from a delicious chicken pozole verde and slow-cooked beef barbacoa to chile-rubbed pork tacos topped with a tangy-sweet pineapple salsa. But knowing what makes La Guerrera’s so great means experiencing their flavorful and super tender tamales - pork in salsa roja, chicken in mole, and cheese with rajas, which are each a creamy, gooey delight with each bite." - julia chen 1, lani conway
