Sopes...and a piece of fried fish
Stephanie L.

We've been coming to this restaurant since I was in elementary..I'm 30 years young now...just recently went to take my dad for a father's day lunch...let me tell you this food here is comfort food to the soul. Food tastes the same this whole time, I enjoyed a plate of sopes dad had the fried fish plate (witch of course I wanted some lol) and service is always great and friendly. Hole in a wall type of a place but you will always leave satisfied.

Siete mares - $18.95
Joe P.

4 Caminos is located on San Leandro b/t 38th and 39th in Oaktown, around the corner from the Fruitvale Bart Station. I came here with a friend after a Raider game, and before heading to Oakland Airport. I saw the siete mares on the menu, and despite the price ($4 more compared to So CA), I decided to go for it ($18.95). My friend ordered the chicken mole w/ rice & beans ($12.95 - not pictured). Both dishes come w/ homemade flour or corn tortillas. 4 Caminos also offers a variety of authentic plates w/ or w/o seafood. The broth of the siete mares was very good. You could taste the fresh vegetables and epazote that infused the broth. However, the fish was not completely de-boned, and there was not that much seafood in relation to the price: 3.5 Stars. My friend really liked his chicken mole. He thought the taste was much better compared to Juanitas in Alameda (late night place we frequent): 4 Stars. Lastly, the chips and salsa were also better quality compared to Juanitas. The ambiance is very quaint, but nothing to speak of. There are 10 tables, 3 booths, and some seats at the counter. You can see plates stacked up high on the counter in front of the kitchen: 3 Stars. The service was not that good. My dish came out way after my friend's, and another couple seated next to us. In fact, the couple seated next to us received 4 complete dishes well before I received my soup. In addition, the waitress didn't check on us and we had to ask for a water refill: 2 Stars. I would come back and try some other plates, but I won't order the siete mares again. The dish took too long, and the cost was too high for the amount of seafood. I can handle the inattentive service. Maybe I'll drink some cervezas next time! LOL!!!

Pescado Frito Diabla was perfect fondness when asked for "not too crispy". Housemade corn tortillas too!

We came with a large group on an early Friday afternoon and found ample seating upstairs. You order…read moreat the counter downstairs and then they bring the food to you. Ordering was a breeze, however getting our food in a large group was a bit chaotic but overall we got our food quickly. Our drinks also arrived very quick, their margarita hit the spot! My friends and I shared tacos, guac and chips, and a chicken bowl. All of it was quite tasty and was enjoyable. Really liked their guac and chips, def recommend as an appetizer to share with a group. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was that the carnitas and beef barbacoa tacos were very oily, like seeping through two tortillas oily. The meat itself was cooked well and was very delicious! More people began trickling in around 3:30-4pm for happy hour, and the place got busy pretty quickly. I'll definitely be back again to try out some of their other items! Side note, there is metered parking in the lot and also some street parking as well.

I was really looking forward to trying this place, the patio is fantastic but last time I stopped…read moreby they were closed for a plumbing issue. I always try chile relleño when I see it on a menu, shocked this was hands-down the worst I've ever had. Stuffed almost only with corn, very little cheese, zero batter or egg coating, and the sauce tasted like KETCHUP. Seemed like canned or frozen corn, not fresh, smothered in a sugary canned tomato paste-based sauce. The overly sweet sauce, sweet corn, and corn tortillas combined to be almost inedibly sweet (wheat tortillas and/or rice/beans could've mitigated this corn-on-corn fiasco). The pineapple-ginger agua fresca was also syrupy sweet and tasted very little of pineapple. Great atmosphere and service but SO disappointed at the quality of the meal.

Good Lord. This is my taco stop…read more Tacos are $4.5 each cash and card is the same price but each bite is worth at least $10 each. The chefs in the back are crazy hard working and the meat is so fresh and hot when they chop it up for the tacos that it is divine. Sudadero is rare but the gem for me is the tripas and buche. The sauce bar goes hard too, green sauce with avocados and pico is spicy asf and the little onions on top really seal the deal. They do ask if you want cilantro and onions on top, and if you are me, you'd always say yes! Blessings for this place to be so close to home.

3.5***stars. 1st timer here…read more I understand the hype and the ratings. Asada Regular Burrito Review: I honestly don't pass through this area much. Did some study for a suitable taqueria and came up with El Paisa. For $17 out the door, you can get a regular meat filled burrito of your choice. The size of which is about the same as a super burrito anyplace else. And easily makes 2 meals. This is sinful, greasy (mostly in a good way) ultra-cheat day grub at it's finest. And conjures what a true taqueria stand must look like across Mexico. Food & burritos come out fast in compost-friendly containers with chips, par-boiled onions and what looked like cactus chunks. I did not care for those. The meat quality is a step above what most other area taco stands use, such as Sinaloa. Open condiment bar is nice but exposed and uncovered from flies, which I saw present within the dining patio. Small, off-street parking lot is free (a plus) and accommodates approx. 10 cars. It is usually at or near capacity due to the restaurant's popularity. Then, it's off-street parking, which amounts to a dicey proposition in most of The Town. Like most areas of International Blvd., it's not in the best of areas. And for this reason alone, my trip to El Paisa was likely a 1 & done experience. But, not because of the food. I might come back if ever in the area again.

Ohhh baby we got a winner!!!…read more I had high expectations when I saw the Michilin Bib hanging over the kitchen, and boy did it live up to it. Not only was the food great but it also has a very cozy and unique vibe inside (well I guess technically it's outside.) there was no line and we got our food quick, I can't think of one thing to complain about. I got three tacos, all costing a mere 5$; Pork: absolutely blew me away. The first taco I started with and set the bar very high. I tried the first bite with all my friends and we instantly locked eyes because we knew we found something special 9.7/10 Pollo: nearly on the same level as the pork. The red onions on top gave it great texture and a unique flavor profile 9.2/10 Barbacoa: on its own it was solid! But when compared to its counterparts it wasn't quite as jaw dropping. 8.1/10 Overall: 9.4/10

Michelin rates it a Bib Gourmand!!! Absolutely Deserving! The sign hanging above the kitchen…read more I rate it "a must for a taco!" This is a small little joint that does tacos well. A tight menu: several tacos, chips, beer, and probably other drinks (I was focused on the tacos). I bought five tacos based on recommendations from a couple of people in line. Also, I took a recommendation from the guy taking my order. ALL FIVE HIT THE MARK!!! Two of my tacos were vegetarian, WHAT? Yes, Vegetarian, AMAZING! WHAT THEY DID WITH BROCCOLI WAS UNREAL! ...and so yummy! ...the people working there were so cool, too!!! Bottom line - This is a must! Ya gotta check it out! @$5 per taco, THE TACOS ARE DELICIOUS! ...can't wait to go back!

This has been here a while and I finally got a chance to come experience this place. It is within walking distance from my house, so I met my party here, we were celebrating someone leaving for new pastures. I was able to get a early reservation (yes you do need a reservation, especially on a a weekend). The service was excellent. We ordered some adult beverage, which while they look small they packed a punch so of course we ordered another round. The menu was really good and they use seasonal ingredients. I started with Cosecha Salad (with watermelon, pomegranate, organic little gem lettuce, cucumber, jicama, toasted pumpkin seeds, and mint) I'm not a salad girl, but this just sounded so good and refreshing and it was. For the main dish I ordered the duck mole. and the mole sauce was to die for, just a hint of heat and it came with blackbeans and rice. The rest of the party ordered, the potato taquitos, roasted chicken, the fish tacos and blue corn quesadilla. They all loved it and I think we will all be back. I may just order for pick up on a way home from a late shift.
