Carne Asada Burrito Bowl
Willy T.

I ordered a carne asada burrito bowl with black beans. It arrived in 3 minutes and they asked if I wanted mild or medium salsa. I got the mild and it was a salsa verde. The portion size is good - it's a big bowl. The lettuce was warm and they used squash/zucchini, which was weird but edible. The salsa didn't taste that good but still had a little kick. The carne asada was uninspiring. The best thing about eating here is a big portion sizes and lightning fast service. Overall this is pretty average airport food.

Carnitas burrito bowl, the pork was the standout here. Crispy edges forever!

This little humble airport eatery served us up some decent food with a side of Christmas joy from Yusef, the manager/bartender/cashier. Yusef approached everything and everybody with a broad grin and friendly banter. We sat at a tiny table at the entrance. We could see everything! We placed our orders at the computers. I dropped a star because it was a tad unwieldy. Probably unfairly I am comparing them to similar set-ups in Japan! (You also have the option to place an order with a person.) The place could use some upgrades in furniture but otherwise was very clean, especially for such a busy place. A gentleman was working hard to keep it nice. I forgot his name, dang it, such a nice man. Food came fresh and hot within 10 minutes. My carnitas burrito bowl was filled to the brim with lettuce, fresh Mexican rice, black beans, grilled zucchini and yellow squash, just the right amount of onions and probably six really large chunks of meat. The pork's crispy edges made this dish extra yummy. I was shocked at how delicious this food was. My husband's chicken quesadilla was thick with chunks of meat, guacamole, melty cheese. This was no flat disc meal. Hearty! I enjoyed the parade of every type of person walking by as we ate. At no time did I feel cramped or that people were staring at us despite our proximity to the cashier. This appears to be an airport outlet of a Berkeley restaurant by the same name. Well, Yusef has incredibly created a casual fast food rendition, in an AIRPORT no less, that makes me want to try the main location! Say what?!? Kudos to Yusef!

This crispy chicken taco is absolutely delicious! This taco was dripping with layers of flavors. Great customer service!

The crispy chicken taco is bursting with layers of flavors. very simple with very simple ingredients! The customer service is on point. Someone pinch me! I can't believe this wonderful restaurant is in Oakland airport. What a score!!

I was flying to Hawaii early in the morning and was very hungry. After seeing my son's breakfast tacos I went back and got my own order. I love the corn tortillas they taste freshly made as they were nice and thick. I wish I would've taken a picture but I was trying to take care of my hunger before a 5 hour flight.

Burrito Bowl

If your plane is delayed or looking for something good to eat I'd stop here. I'd have to say the burrito bowl here is 10x better than the burrito bowl from Chipotle. Every bite had flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly and the asada meat had flavor to it as well. The hot salsa is actually spicy unlike other places. They do have a mild salsa if you don't like it spicy. The kiosk was easy to use and navigate. Food came out of the kitchen within a reasonable time. Tables are clean and they do have electric sockets for your electronics just remember to bring your cables.

This is a quesadilla???
Nicole C.

Service here sucks. AND a quesadilla is more like a burrito with everything on it. Felt like the staff was laughing at us when we asked for margaritas. Saw them being rude to several other customers as wll.

Egg white sandwich in a bowl with a side of chorizo
Stephanie B.

Cancún Sabor Mexicano was a decent choice for food in OAK. It's not fancy, and there is almost no seating. Also, the chorizo is awful. Service in the airport is as you would expect - decent but not great. The portions were generous, although expensive, and not totally as advertised. Go with the tacos or a burrito and avoid the chorizo.

Okay! Super excited Cancun Taqueria now has a location at the Oakland airport. I ordered my usual order I get at their Berkeley location which is the crispy chicken tacos! They are absolutely delicious!!! However, I would order the tacos separately if you have the time. I ordered two tacos and my second taco the tortilla was soggy but still so dam delicious. I needed a fork to finish my taco. But the quality of chicken and all the ingredients was so yummy and fresh. Lots of people were ordering the burrito which is a good idea for on the go before your flight. Their staff is very friendly and accommodating and will give plenty of salsa and napkins which is a plus. They have a big bar area and several tables for parties of 3 and they have TV's to catch up on sports while you wait. Nice clean and friendly atmosphere. Also you can get a big water to go for only a dollar as you have to pay for the cup but definitely cheaper than any water sold at the airport. I will be back to grab a burrito before heading home.

The customer service was super friendly and the food was delicious! I had the Al Pastor burrito and it was fantastic, I found out that it's all made in house using organic ingredients. Both the green and red salsa are worth trying as well as the strawberry Fresca drink.

We tried coming here on a Sunday and couldn't find parking for 15+ minutes so we ended up leaving. There is some street parking but we prefer to park in the lot. Once you get inside you order at the counter. If you're getting tacos they're all the same price so the cashier will write the number of tacos you bought and you take that receipt and get in the line. Once you get called up you put your receipt in the basket that the worker hands you and tell them what kind of meat you want in your tacos. Today I tried the asada, carnitas, Al pastor, and tripa. They all were delicious, my favorite was the tripa. Portions are good ($4.50/taco) and they have a variety of salsas, jalapeños, limes, etc in the seating area once you exit. I also got a hibiscus (Jamaica) agua fresca that was good. They do accept credit card but they'll charge a $1 fee so try to bring cash if you can. Definitely recommend, this is now one of my top taco spots in Oakland.

This is certainly one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. Each taco is $4.50 and…read morethey load each up with meat. The meats are all juicy and cooked perfectly. The pina colada drink was perfect to balance out the salty/savory flavor of the tacos. You self serve cucumbers, carrots, and radishes which is always cool.

Amazing. Purely delicious, cuuute ambiance…read more They make their own tortillas, which is always a plus. The flavors of each taco were outstanding. I ordered everything on their current menu. Tostada beans gigante, the pork shoulder, barbacoa, charred broccoli, mushroom, and chicken tinga. Just a lil lime on top, and enjoy! I didn't even need to add more salsa, which I would usually add to my tacos at other places. Tostada vegan was my fave. All the meat tacos were also fantastic, all were tender and juicy. Your taste buds bout to be blown away. They have patio style seating in the front and the back. cute for a lil date night without breaking the bank, or to go out and entertain friends outta town, or just to treat yo'self real good. so happy.

I have been wanting to try Tacos Oscar for a while, and finally got to try it. It was Sunday around…read more11am and there was already a line, but it moved fast. They have outdoor seating both in front and in their back patio, the front being sunnier while the back was cooler and shaded. It does seem like it can get crowded there due to the amount of customers who may choose to eat here instead of takeout, though. The food came out within 5 minutes. They also have a self-service water pitcher, and pitchers of half-and-half and oat milk next to it, which I assume is provided for those who get coffee (I didn't read through the entire drink menu). I got the vegan breakfast burrito, which has pan fried potatoes, roasted peppers and onions, mayocoba beans, chile morita mayonesa, avocado, corn, cilantro in a flour tortilla and it contains soy. It was savory, just a little bit spicy but tolerable for someone who can handle just mild level so I felt it was a good addition for providing more flavor given vegetarian burritos can otherwise often end up very plain. Quite a bit of avocado. I liked the potatoes and beans, and the insides didn't feel too mushy texture-wise. Admittedly not the hugest quantity for a burrito of this price ($15 before tax/tip) but I appreciate that they have several vegetarian and vegan options on their menu. I also ordered the strawberry agua fresca - listed as agua de fresca on the menu and this is the only flavor available, for $6. It was pretty good, fruity and sweet but not overwhelmingly so. I tried some of the chips and salsa morita that a friend shared with me, and thought it was decent - they give a massive quantity of chips (it would be good for sharing with a group) which are crispy and lightly salted, and the salsa is tasty and very mild in spice level.

The owner / Chef…read moreDominica Rice-Cisneros always smiles and waves from behind the kitchen, and that simple gesture sets the tone, warm, festive, and genuinely welcoming. The whole team carries that same energy; they're always happy to receive you like you're family. Let's talk FOOD. Where the culinary ways of Mexico and California intersect. Exquisite!!!! Thoughtful!!! Beautifully presented!!! The flavors are layered, the spices are intentional, and the details in every dish keep me coming back. I honestly haven't made it past ordering the roasted chicken, the signature salad with seasonal fruit, and those carrots! Listen, you may think, "Carrots? Really?" YES. Really. These carrots come surrounded by black beans in a chili sauce, topped with toasted almonds. I've never tasted anything like it. It's one of those dishes you think about later. Perfect for everything: Girls' night (like we did this past Friday), birthdays, graduations, date nights, I've even come solo. The food and service are that good. And I have to give a huge shout-out to Estilo, one of my favorite servers! He always welcomes every guest like they're his favorite person in the room. He talked us into getting the beets, and they were ON POINT. He checked on us throughout the night, joked with us, and honestly enjoyed our table just as much as we enjoyed having him. He even said, "You all look so great, let me take a picture of you!" and captured such a sweet moment. They've got indoor and outdoor seating, great vibes all around, and THE BEST tortilla chips you will ever have. I recommend making a reservation, however, they do take walk-ins. If you're in the San Francisco Bay area, it's a must! You'll definitely thank me!

Summary: Delicious food with explosive flavors…read more Details: I can't recall how we landed on Bombera while we were looking for anniversary dinner options, but we were sure happy it did! I'll be honest: I came in to the dinner a little skeptical at the slightly lower reviews, but seeing that most of them were chalked up as service qualms (and being used to Chinese restaurants), we opted to give it a go. And boy, the food was t.a.s.t.y! Pozole and the carrots and beans were the highlights of the meal, both coming with a super smokey and fiery chili that we absolutely adored, but everything else we had was enjoyable, and not overly seasoned, which is always the concern when we go out these days. I can see where some of the service complaints might have come from because the staff seemed pretty slammed and harried, but we actually found the service to be quite friendly. Accessibility: Outdoor seating is technically accessible, not not always comfortably so. Some tables are situated on slightly-too-steep inclines, which means you may be scrunching or bracing for the entirety of your meal.
