Aguachiles El Tamarindo

Best birria tacos in the bay. $4.50/taco + $3.50 for a small consommé cup on the side.

Bad service, Bad Food, We ordered 4 orders for four people and they threw everything as they wanted in one box, I asked for two cokes they gave me cokes warm, the cashier said he didn't want to look for them under the ice for the cold cokes. We asked for hot sauce and the lady didn't want to give it to us, until we asked her about 2 or 3 times. Arriving home we realized that the sauces were spoiled there were inflated!

This place was recommended by a few friends. We went on a Saturday the line and the wait to get the food was not long at all. If you are looking for Mexican style sea food this food truck has that and much more. We arrived and saw the menus on the food truck and it was mind blowing. Not only could you read what they had but you could see all the plate’s because they have photos of each plate that they make all over the food truck. So we got into ordering we had the Baja shrimp and fish tacos they were amazing we also ordered a ceviche mixto also good and súper tasty to top it off we order a quesibirria it’s a quesadilla with beef meet that was also amazing. Unfortunately our stomachs were not big enough to try more things, but we are definitely coming back. Not only they have sea food but they also have a veggie menu and a full taco truck menu with all the tacos and burritos you can imagine. I highly recommend you coming here with an empty stomach and get ready to enjoy all the amazing food they make here.

Baja Mango Habanero Fish Tacos 4/5 Steak Nachos were 4/5 (chips were stale) birria tacos 3/5, juicy meat but salty Wet Burrito, sauce salty and meat was salty Regular Steak Burritos, salty I would be back for the mango habanero fish tacos. They were not spicy like how I’d a expect a “habanero” to be, but it was sweet with a kick from the jalapeños. Plenty of parking spaces and they have a wash station and restroom on site! Cool addition! 🤣

I been eating in many places from southern nd Northern California, and so far this is the best the restaurant, the food was great and the price is reasonable .. I will be back

Great spot for some birria tacos. There’s a good amount of seating and parking around the taco truck. This place is cash only with an option for Venmo.

I've been here twice now and I've loved it both times. I've been searching the bay area for some good birria tacos and I've finally found my spot! The meat om the tacos is juicy and tender and the sauce is not too salty. I got mine extra crispy so they ddnt get soggy...... if you're in the area you need to check them out.

Tasty. Service is generally pretty quick though I've only come around lunch time. Can't speak on the dinner time rush.

You ever been to this food truck? Thinking about going? You should. It's the cleanest address on the whole of International Boulder. Top 2 per cent, at least. Which can't be hard; since fallen out homeless, human feces and bottom barrel prostitutes are hallmarks of Int'l. El Tamarindo specializes in Sinaloan seafood. Gulf of California. They also advertise the *All New Quesabirria*. Don't blame them, we're all chasing trends after all. I wanted more, but had to eat light. I got me a ceviche verde with shrimp. Cooked shrimp. Spicy salsa verde, fresh and tart from tomatillo and lime. An able hand contributed brunoised cucumber and red onion. Three slivers of avocado laid atop. With all the acid, more avocado would have been optimal. I also got me a marlin taco. A joke. They buried the marlin. First of all, only bits of the fish are noticeable in a kind of sort of Mexican ragu. A red salsa tatemada. No flavor of marlin. Only it's meaty texture could be discerned. Second of all, you've got yourself a first gen iPhone sized slab of melted Monterrey Jack further burying. There is a side of chili pepper mayo and escabeche. Dip the escabeche into the mayo, not th taco. Overall, pretty chill. Will have to come back soon.

I've tried this place a few of times now and every time it's the same.. Basic/decent tasting food and way overpriced! From the minute you drive into the parking lot, you can feel money oozing out of this place - like a casino lol. It's frustrating because it's close to home & I just want to grab some food from here at times but, every time I do, it hurts my wallet & tastes the same. Just imagine if I was taking someone, or a few friends and I was paying! It could be a couple hundred dollars for a basic amount of food and a drink for each person and/or kids! I just went there again today and I got 4 small birria tacos and a Coke and spent $30. It's ridiculous. Service is decent, ambience is outside seating which is kind of cool...Lots of tables to sit. But, it can also get busy.. along with long waits at times. Overated & commercial Americanized food, in my opinion. Just look at all the red hot Cheeto options

The Verde ceviche was phenomenal! It was incredibly fresh, packed with flavor, and had just the right amount of tang and spice. Honestly, I'd come back just for that ceviche--it was that good! The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed, making it a nice spot for a casual meal. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a try, especially if you're a fan of ceviche. The birria tacos were good--but not particularly memorable. I was hoping for a bit more flavor.

(4.5 out of 5) I'd give this place a 4, but this place is known for ceviche and seafood options, me and the people I was with got pastor and Birria (still really good) but to be fair I'm giving it a 4.5-5. For reasons stated above! Has hood parking and the lot they are in is super cool, with a cool poster sign thing and nice seating! Very nice people working here as well! When you come tell them Rothyy sent you!

I originally started coming to this spot because it's close to my office, and they accept Venmo, where as the other truck only takes cash. I think the other one takes card now, but I don't care anymore lol I'm really bad with names, but there's a dude that is in the window 95% of the time I come for lunch (which is probably once a week), and he's super nice. I usually order the same thing, but on the off chance I ask for a suggestion, he always gives me his honest opinion. The tables are always clean, since I always eat there. The garbages are never over flowing. I've never had a problem finding an empty table. Or rude patrons. My usual order is the Baja fish taco, and a quesabirria taco. Both are so damned good. I could eat this every week for the rest of my life. I have also had the carne asada and the Baja fish tortas. Also REALLY good. The bread is so soft and delicious. I had the birria ramen (to go), umm. I wasn't a huge fan. The noodles seemed like spaghetti noodles lol, it was super rich, with the consume and birria. I think I'm just gonna stick to Japanese ramen. I'm very happy with this location. I just wish they would be open for breakfast so I could get a breakfast burrito here, I'm still on the hunt for a good one of those.

I came here with a friend who recommended it because of their vegetarian options and their pineapple quesadilla. I ordered one veggie chorizo taco and one grilled pineapple quesadilla. They allow payment via Venmo or cash, but there's a $1.50 container fee. Food was ready within 5 minutes, and there are plenty of picnic tables in the area for eating. The chorizo taco was spicy, watch out for jalapeno seeds if you're like me and are weak to spiciness. The quesadilla was nice and cheesy and had a nice acidic tang from pineapple, good portion size. Some of the salad portion that came with it was also quite spicy though. Overall, I thought it was pretty good and I appreciate that they have a vegetarian menu. There isn't necessarily explanatory text of what's in the dishes, though, so you may have to ask the workers.

Nachos had old stale chips that were so hard. Will never buy nachos here again, so disappointing since their aguachile is good. If you are going to charge these prices you have to read your reviews as an owner and make changes. Just found another review from 9 months ago complaining about the stale chips and it continues to happen. Either fix them or take them off your menu, cus other parts are good

I ordered this Torre de Tamarindo (seafood tower) and it was so amazing! It came with a side of crunchy tostadas and it was honestly an explosion of flavors and my mouth still waters just thinking of it. The ingredients were so fresh too. Their menu is exciting and I want to go back and try a dozen things more. Highly recommend!!!!

This place is a must try! I tried their ceviche, tacos de asada and quesabirria tacos and have not been disappointed. I do take one star away because of the location. It is located in Oakland on International, and if you're a Bay Area native, you know. The crime rate here is extremely high, and the few times I've been here, there are always police sirens blazing by. I always make sure to park in an area where my car is in view, or just take it to go. However, don't let that stop you from visiting this establishment.. just be mindful of your surroundings and you'll be fine. Service can be a little slow at times, but it is because they make everything fresh to order. Please be patient!

Food was good but they definitely need to brush up on their customer service. The guy at the cash register taking our order was so moody but the young guy who prepared and handed us our food was awesome! They also need to take other form of payments other than just cash and Venmo. Would also like to see desserts on the menu that don't contain hard liquor lol.

Cheesy, steak tacos my go to! A little pricey but worth it. Sometimes it's better to call the wait line could be pretty bad. However, the food is really good. They accept Venmo if you don't have cash.

The nachos were the worst. The chips were STALE!!! Like make my jaw hurt stale. I just ate maybe 1/5 of it less than a minute ago and it was so stale. You're supposed to worry about nachos getting soggy not this. I was so so disappointed this was my first time trying this truck. Fish taco was okay tho 3/5. My nachos would have been fine if the chips weren't stale. Also if you don't like chips like this don't order it, I thought they were the freshly made chips but they are more the store bulk bought ones like the truck by the lake, still was excited to dig in until I realized the entire plate of nachos was stale. Threw it out after eating some of it, kept wanting for it to get better

wait is a little long but it is soooooooo good i strongly recommend the baj fish and shrimp tacos WITH MANGO HABANERO! so crunchy, flavorful, 10/10.

THE BEST QUESABIRRIA TACOS IN THE BAY! Worth checking it out. Get the consome to dip your tacos in. Make sure to check in to get the free horchata. Service is fine - cash or venmo only. It's outdoor seating so it's chilly during autumn / winter. However, it's perfect during the spring / summer.

After a happy hour, I needed carbs and my friend suggested tacos. We walked around the block (the Tango and BART are nearby as well--this area is very well-located for public transit) and found Aguachiles El Tamarindo and it hit the spot. No frills, you line up at the food truck and pay via Venmo or cash. The seating is outdoors but some have a covering. There's a security guard watching over you but that honestly didn't make me feel safer. My friend loved his Birria ramen. I enjoyed my tacos: one quesabirria, one cheesy Al pastor, and one shrimp. They hit the spot and I found them to be deceptively spicy by the end. Prices are reasonable, I'd say this is good value and authentic.

Starving love this place always come here to get the same thing prices are very good a must try

This place deserves 5 stars!! They're so good. From the quesabirria tacos, to the ramen. I've even had the hot Cheeto burrito which was good, just needed some extra hot chips on the side they also have ceviche and a bunch of other amazing items. This place is a must TRY. Best taco truck in the town

Friend has been talking about this place many many times. Happened to be driving by with her and she pointed out that its lunch time and we have to eat :) We showed up on a weekday around 1pm and there were only 2-3 in front of us. Plenty of places to sit and park. There are many many items on the menu to pick from from fish, meat and options for vegetarians. I went with one of their ceviche - shrimp and octopus - for about $8-$9 and it was a good portion In addition got two fish tacos and extremely happy that I did - they tasted fresh and plenty of flavor 100% will be coming back to try all the other items on the menu Keep in mind - it is CASH and VENMO (very cool idea) only.

East bay burrito #38 Initial taste 5/7 Meat 6/7 Rice 4/7 Beans 4/7 Tortilla 4/7 Cheese 5/7 Salsa 3/7 Overall 5/7 rounded up The carne asada was pretty tasty but other than that there wasn't much that stands out in this burrito. Still though this is a case of the whole being grater than the sum of its parts. It's very eatable

I just moved here from LA and the main thing I'm missing is MARISCOS! I'm giving this 5 stars because there are no other proper mariscos place in Oakland or SF, and this place is constantly my savior. This review is coming from a cruda girl. Food hits every time! The micheladas mix slaps every time. Prices are a little on the pricey side but for this being the only place that sells mariscos locally I will pay! Friendly service and there is a liquor store down the street, very convenient. Good space and they always have good music to add to ambiente! I'm not trying to eat my meal in silence. Come here for a chill vibe or your cruda lol!

My aguachiles was hit and miss. I feel like most of my shrimp was cooked all the way through by the acidity so maybe I got like bottom of the barrel. I definitely prefer the bites that had more raw shrimp and I could see how it could be good. The proportions of ingredients can get pretty unwieldy and it can take a while for the food to come out too. Also got a burrito and that was super delicious with the sauce though! Food: 6/10 Service: 5/10 Vibes: 4/10 Value: 4/10

I'm obsessed with aguachile and I must say... they do it very well here!! To the point that I crave it every couple of weeks. I've tried almost everything on their menu like quesabirria tacos, reg steak and shrimp tacos, quesadilla and more. Everything else is ok, but I'm not a fan of the corn tortillas they use for their tacos. Their verde aguachile hits every SINGLE time! It's the perfect amount of spice, lime and fresh shrimp.

Hubby and I were out and he has been telling me that he has been craving for nachos. I don't really know where they have good nachos so we looked on Yelp and found this place. It looked yummy and they also had hot cheetos nachos! Upon arriving we looked at their menu to see what we wanted. We got an order of their hot cheetos nachos, a shredded chicken tortas, a shredded chicken burrito enchilado style and a horchata. The horchata was really yummy! I really enjoyed the taste of it, but it needed to be just a little less sweet. The nachos was good but we were hoping for more of the nacho cheese sauce but there were barely any. Hubby's tortas was good, I liked it a lot. I sadly forgot my enchilado burrito at his house so I didn't get a chance to try it, but Hubby did eat it and said it was good, just that it was a bit salty for him. They do also have quesabirrias and a lot of other items to choose from. We will be back next time because I really want to try their fish and shrimp tacos.

My friend and I drove by this spot unintentionally realizing it was one of my Yelp bookmarks that I have been meaning to try! We had some Noodle Belly nearby but couldn't leave Oakland without checking out the hype for Aguachiles El Tamarindo! Lines were long but it moved fairly fast. Food didn't take too long to come out. Maybe ~15 minutes. I ordered the: Quesabirria $4 -- the quesabirria was a bit smaller than what I'm used to. I just didn't like how the 2 tortillas were soggy and not crispy. I hate soggy tacos. Not enough cheese.. Baja fish taco $3.50 -- ok now this was good! I really like the sauce that it came with! Tacos were very yummy. I'd get this again! The price is great too! No sales tax! Menu is very extensive. Plenty of outdoor seating and a good amount of parking spots. Make sure to check in on Yelp to get your free drink! P.S I should have checked-in Yelp sooner before I had paid or else they won't honor the check-in deal :(

Had to stop by and give this place a try!! My gosh the aroma in the air was so delicious we had to stop by and check this place out. I'm so glad we came to this place once I've been the reviews on yelp, made me more excited to try this place out. The quesabirria tacos were a little too salty but the green salsa made it taste better. The shrimp tostada was really good too but my absolute favorite item would be the mango chamoy tostada. It was fresh and so flavorful definitely will be coming back for that mango tostada!! I also thought it was cool to get a free can or aquea fresca when you check-in with yelp! The Jamaica was so delicious so perfect, it wasn't too sweet or too bland just right!! They only take cash or Venmo so be prepared when coming to this place. Lucky I had cash on me and was able to pay without a problem.

Dis be good! It's a food truck parked in the lot with lots of tables and chairs for outdoor dining. Very hip. Their menu is HUMONGOUS! I got a bit confused over what to order for a first timer. But whatever you order, its gonna be slammin'. I ordered --- Fish tacos! Quesa-birrias tacos! Ceviche! Shrimp Cocktails! Couldn't believe how deeeelicious the fish taco's are. It was fried with light batter served with fresh slaw, lime and an awesome sauce. The carnitas Quesabirria was a cheesey sensation and if you order the beef broth, make sure you dip dip dip to get extra juiciness! Both the ceviche and shrimp cocktails were amazingly FRESH. I'm always skeptical over buying these items anywhere, let alone a food truck, so, I was very pleased with their outcome. WHAT A TREAT AND A GEM IN OAKLAND!

I just tried the shrimp burrito. It was not good at all, for $19. That's pretty upsetting since I've really wanted to try this food truck for a while and noticed how popular their posts were on instagram. I don't know if they did that on purpose but as soon as I bit into it the juice from the burrito started dripping all over my shoes, pants, and sweater. I was really hungry today after work and for them to do that to me is pretty sad, when I've faithfully came to Fruitvale for good Mexican food. Now it seems like they're purposely offering poor service for paying customers.

Food was beyond delicious, service was fast and even though it was freezing outside, the set up was nice! Definitely coming back for more!

Very dry no sauce but has flavor hot Cheetos burrito. Nice set up outside! I just told them about the fact that they forgot to put sauce inside and they were pet rude about it with a smile on their face laughing as if it's funny and never apologized. They end up giving me some sauce on the side but I'd rather it be made the way it's supposed to bc I ate half the burrito dry already

My friend took me here and omg it's delicious! I tried the surf and turf taco which was loaded and delicious! We came specifically for the Torre El Tamarindo which was DELICIOUS! My friends loved the Hennessy Tres Leches. I thought it was a little too sweet but I could see why they liked it. The horchata was nice and refreshing. Overall, really great spot!

Absolutely love this place. They have a ton of delicious vegetarian food! My go to is the vegetarian torta. There is plenty of parking, they ate reasonably priced and delicious!

Best fish tacos around ...good sized taco with fried fish, slaw in a corn tortilla for 3.75 ...not bad ..I believe the fish tacos are the top rated item here...add rice and beans for a total of 7.25...haven't had the birria here ...looks really good but you may want to eat it there in your car...those tortillas will get soggy quick it looks like.

Man this place is operators by the same folks down the street but there is something different going on here. The food is simply fresh and amazing and I would have given 5 stars (which I rarely do) were is not for some absentminded service (more on that later). This trip was tacos in fish, shrimp, quesobirrIa and lengua. The fish was done Baja style which was a quick batter and deep fry, topped with pickled onions cabbage and squirt of creama. Shrimp got the same treatment. Lengua was topped w pico de Gallo and no cream. Lastly the quesobirria is becoming my go to for this spot. They serve it w consume which my kid started to drink straight from the container. Next was the afterthought order of flaming hot Cheetos nachos. Topped with Carne asada, cream and the gooey canned cheese product that I have a love/hate relationship with. First we thought why order a dish like this, then it kept coming up in discussion and sooooooo glad we did. Seriously could have been happy with just this dish alone. Now the sandy, which, I didn't have a clean hand to take any pictures at this point, was perhaps on of the most memorable so far this decade. Ordered the Cuban and didn't know what to expect. Of course I expected pork, ham, pickles, cheese, mustard and Mayo. Which came true, but the pork was carnitas and not sliced pork. The coup de grace was a hot dog sliced down the middle and grill before joining the meat party. My keto senses were on overload. It's worth me perhaps going back later this week to do more Yelp research. The traditional pickles might have been there but they had pickles onion which made me just as happy. Now why no 5 star? Cuz they messed up the order twice by forgetting several items. Luckily we checked our food before leaving, but they forgot initially 4 tacos, the consommé for the quesobirria tacos, the sandwich and lastly had to go back for a 3rd time for the dessert. I would be more forgiving if there was a huge line but seriously if you're willing to take my $$$, I should be treated w some respect. The worker apologized but still had to go back a few times. Would be so much better to have read back my order to let me know what I'm getting. Having worked in the food business for so long, you begin to understand the urgency in situations, yet it seemed like they didn't care. Hoping my next visit is better. In short not gonna let someone's bad day ruin mine. I have mad respect for their craft and hope they can appreciate I'm trynna help.

I had the pleasure of discovering Aguachiles El Tamarindo in East Oakland, and it's safe to say that their Birria tacos have set a new standard for me. The Birria tacos were a masterpiece of flavor and texture. The meat was tender, succulent, and perfectly seasoned, but what truly elevated the experience was the rich and savory broth that accompanied the tacos. It added a depth of flavor that I've rarely encountered before. What makes this place even better is its convenient location. Situated in East Oakland, it's easy to reach and a great option for both locals and visitors. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their menu, which is always a plus. The combination of exceptional food, a cozy ambiance, and a location that's easy to access makes Aguachiles El Tamarindo a standout choice. If you're a fan of Birria tacos or simply looking for an unforgettable culinary experience, this is the place to be. I'm already counting down the days until I can return and indulge in their delicious offerings once again.

A nice style taco truck/restaurant concept. The food is so delicious and fresh and the people that take your order are nice. It helps that it has a safe parking spot and a clean bathroom!

Taco tuesday!!! This is my second time coming here. The first time I came here I had ordered a quesadilla with birria and it was soooo filling. The second time I came here (today), I ordered the nachos with birria along with 4 quesabirria tacos. As you can tell I really do love my birria!! Lol. Everything from here is sooo tasty. It really hits the spot and I haven't left this place feeling hungry. If anything, I always feel ridiculously full and need to walk off all the food after. Portions are quite huge (then again, I am a small girl!) The quesabirria tacos were PACKED!! You MUST get the consome broth. If you gonna do these tacos, do it right!! Spend that extra $$ for the broth. You won't regret it. Tip - check in through Yelp and you can get a free Agua Fresca or a canned soda. I went for the Tamarind Agua Fresca over the Horchata because I thought the Tamarind would be a nice compliment to all the birria - and I was correct!! Super refreshing and nothing heavy, considering the food itself was extremely filling. This is a solid spot. I would def recommend! I posted it on the gram and you bet all the DMs asked where this place is at!!

My favorite spot for mariscos in the east bay, the aguachiles and torres are always bomb as is the Baja fish taco

Overall solid food! I got it for delivery so take this with a grain of salt - I think it was good overall, but generally think there are better tacos around. Not mindblowing, not bad!

First time at this place and we did enjoy our food. Was a bit pricier than we expected. Flavor was as expected for the quesabirrias. Nachos were over priced with little flavor. Might consider coming back to try some seafood but can find much flavorful Mexican food In Oakland.

I have been to Aguachiles a couple times now with friends and family and it never disappoints! There are so many options here from quesabirrias, cheesy tacos, baja fish tacos, birria ramen, hot cheetos burritos, agua frescas, alcohol infused desserts, and more. There's something for even the pickiest eaters here. My favorite things to get here are of course the quesabirrias and consome. And I would definitely recommend eating them asap or else they will get soggy. The quesabirrias are greasy and crispy, and when dipped in the consome broth, flavor overload! They are a bit pricey at $4 per quesabirria but they are so worth it. During the pandemic they are offering takeout, delivery, and outdoor dining options. They are enforcing social distancing and they have a designated employee wiping down tables in between customers. They also have hand sanitizer provided and a hand washing stations as well. The line can get a bit long on the weekends but it does move relatively quickly. They have their own parking lot and there is street parking as well. Beware- they only take cash or venmo!

I ordered El Kilo burrito. It was dry because there was no salsa, no pico de gallo, no sour-cream nor cheese. The meat was tasty , but I didn't get what I paid for which actually was a burrito greater than $25. Mostly rice as well.this is not ok and very disappointing. I was so hungry n then I got robbed. I must add that this burrito isnt 2 lbs of anything. They used a bigger tortilla with approximately the same amt of food. It was just long not fat like it should be. Stop advertising lies!

There's a lot of quesobirria hype for this place but for me, it didn't quite live up. I'm sure the tacos are better when consumed right away when they are piping hot and crispy and not wrapped up getting soggy with the sauce spilling in the bag on the way home. However, these are the current times, and takeout is our new normal. I was craving some amazing Mexican food for a late lunch and quesobirria tacos were the only thing that could appease the monster. The line around 3p indicated good things come to those who wait or so I had hoped. I ordered 2 quesabirria tacos with a small consommé and threw in a carne asada burrito because that's what happens when I'm hangry in a long line. There are two payments methods - cash or Venmo. Venmo was simple enough and Covid-friendly- search for "El Tamarindo." When I got home and started taking out the food, I noticed the bag was wet because the sauce had leaked out. Quesobirrias were small ($4 each), soggy, and seemed to lack cheese. The burrito was dry, lacked salsa, and had occasional low quality chewy bites of meat that I had to spit out. The flavor and tenderness of the beef and the broth were fine but I was hoping for the textural and quality components to have more synergy. Perhaps it was an off day or maybe next time I should just pull over and enjoy the tacos when they are still hot and crispy. Interested to find the best quesobirria spot so I'm open to coming back and/or try other places.

my favorite favorite taco place i absolutely loveee this place. one of my go-to's in the bay! * hot cheetos nachos - 7/10. wish they used xxtra hot and that there was MORE idk it was good but something was missing :/ * steak and shrimp tacos - 1000/10. their tacos though are the crema sauce and the portion size... literally STUFFED with steak and shrimp i get full from just 3

I guess it's good for East bay but if you're from SJ it's just ok. Ordered quesabirria taco, consommé, cheesy Al pastor taco, and torre de Mariscos. Quesabirria tacos are flavorful, however the outer shell isn't perfectly crispy like I wanted and they charge extra for consommé. Al pastor meat is bland however in the cheesy taco you can't really tell. I didn't like the torre de Mariscos. Mostly just imitation crab filler. The tamarind sauce on the bottom wasn't tangy or had any tamarind flavor; octopus was super chewy so it was inedible. It's a food truck but it's parked in a fenced parking lot with parking and several picnic tables.

This was my first time at Aguachiles El tamarindo. I was intrigued since there's this whole quesobirria taco craze going on. I had previously tried the tacos elsewhere and wanted tot eh them here. There was a long line on a Saturday cause obviously people are out and about, we ordered some quesobirria tacos and I also got a fried fish taco with a crema sauce and piconde Gallo. My fish taco was my favorite! I literally have to try deep fried fish tacos wherever they have them on the menu and the flavors were really good. I think what made it that much better was the crema sauce on top. The queso birria tacos were okay, I feel like they had a little too much birria in it so it was hard to choose. I definitely want to go back to get more fish tacos and try their aguachiles! I would add that they have their own parking lot with parking so I would try parking there first if not, there's plenty of parking in the surrounding streets.

Hands down one of the best food trucks for mariscos in Oakland, if I'm ever in Oakland and I'm craving mariscos this is the place to be. It does tend to get a bit packed, but the line moves pretty quick and you get your food pretty quick as well. If you want good food come here you won't regret it.

This place is located in Oakland, Ca the steak tacos are really good. They have a great seafood menu and usually the meat is fresh in the truck. If you are in need for some good tasting tacos, try this place. Great for lunch or just a snack this is a great place. Enjoy!

Great spot for aguachiles, ceviches and other mariscos! You know this place is doing well their signage is pretty incredible and lots of tables to sit out. Cash and Venmo (clutch). Their menu is extensive and there's something for everyone! I will say that their quesabirria tacos are just OK and on the costly side compared some other places I've been to. Last two times I got their fried fish tacos there was more batter than fish so it was a bit disappointing. But I'm still happy with other things I've had. My last visit early June 2021, I ordered a bunch of things to go and it felt like portions were smaller. To go containers of aguachiles seemed smaller than when I last ate there in person but they still give you a good portion. Oh and restrooms were open :) I'm happy to support them and will continue to come back!

On my social media feeds, for some reason quesabirria tacos are popping up. I guess this is the hype and what is trending. So today was the first time for me. What was my experience? First thing I noticed was it's a little pricey. $4 per quesabirria, which totaled $37.75 with 8 tacos and a 12 once consume. The wait was around 20 minutes after I ordered at 11am. Just plain, quesabirria tacos are on the bland side. The meat is super tender but just lacks flavor. Which is why consume is a must. Similar to dipping your Oreos in coffee, (Am I the only one that does that?!) letting the coffee entrench and permeated the cookie. That's the trick to making quesabirrias taste good. Dip the taco in the consume and baptize the taco. And treat the tacos like they are terrible sinners that require to be baptized multiple times to wash away their sins. Then eat the quesabirria while it's dripping wet, like a golden retriever just coming out of the swimming pool. It's a messy meal, but worth the effort. I still like the classic Mexican food as much if not more, so while this trending food item is good, it's doesn't reinvent the wheel.
