    Yummy and hits the spot! Chocolate filled was too sweet for me. Prefer the plain. But I'm not a huge sweets person. Kind service and hope there's more business this summer!

    Filled churros with caramel and chocolate
    Odalis G.

    If you're looking for the best filled churros in Oakland, this is it! We've been coming here for years and always get ours filled with caramel and chocolate--fresh, warm, and perfect every time. Other spots don't compare. ($3 regular / $4 filled)

    Small food stand across the street from the bart and many outdoor tables to sit and eat. My friend was craving churros so I went with her and we shared the following: -Original churro: Good for satisfying a little sweet tooth. Not too sweet. A little chew to it, but in a good and satisfying way. Can't go wrong! -Vanilla churro: Favorite! It was creamy, and even though it looks like it would be sweetness overload it wasn't too sweet at all! Like a vanilla pudding stuffed into a churro. Can't go wrong. -Strawberry churro: We thought this was going to be cream based, similar to the vanilla churro, but it was jelly based (no cream). I thought it was pretty good, but my friend sensed a bit of bitterness to it (I didn't taste it) so I finished it! My friend's craving was satisfied and she thought it was better than a lot of overpriced churros she's had elsewhere! Very quiet (only one couple who was finishing their churros) when we got there around 7pm on a Friday night.

    We visited this food stand on Sunday, for a chocolate filled churro and fried plantains. Street parking was free and easy right across the street in the afternoon. Service was quick and efficient. They accept credit cards for payment, which is convenient. And outdoor seating was plentiful just outside the Fruitvale Public Market in front of the food stand. The churro and plantains tasted freshly made and delicious, satisfying treats to enjoy in a casual and carefree atmosphere.

    There's a sign on the back of the Churros Mexicanos cart that says "Los mejores churros rellenos" (The best filled churros), and the tagline is 100% true! I've been coming here for a while, and the churros are always fresh, hot, delicious, and consistent. They offer both regular churros and churros rellenos--filled with vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or caramel. They're all great, but my favorites are the chocolate-filled churro and the classic unfilled one. They also serve plátanos, but to be honest, I've never tried them because I love the churros too much. I always tell myself I'll give them a shot next time, but the smell of those freshly fried churros gets me every time. The cart is conveniently located near the Fruitvale BART station, with easy parking. The woman who works there is incredibly kind and always so sweet. No matter how busy it gets, she greets everyone with a smile, making the experience even better. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit.

    Churros Mexicanos - Fruitvale Public Market, Oakland, CA Rating: 10 out of 10 This little cart is a whole vibe. Tucked inside the Fruitvale Public Market, Churros Mexicanos always has a line when I show up and another one when I leave--and honestly, I get it. I ordered four plain churros and four churros rellenos in vanilla, fresca, caramelo, and chocolate. Everything was made fresh on the spot. They were steaming hot, soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and hit with the perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar. The flavors didn't taste processed or overly sweet. Just comforting and real, like a bite of childhood. My son loves this place too. He always gives it a 10 out of 10. This time, I agree. If you're in Oakland and want something sweet that feels like home, this is it. A true Oakland gem. I'll definitely be back.

    Our church catered their churro truck. They were efficient and fast and kept the line moving. Churros were so good. Crispy on the outside. Good and balanced texture on the inside. I got the caramel filling, expecting it to be very sweet. It was perrrrfect! This is probably one of the best churros I've ever had.

    Hot, crispy, and delicious. Quick and friendly service. The churro had a great flavor, clean oil, nice dusting of cinnamon sugar on top. Crispy on the outside with a soft interior. Perfect $3 dessert.

    Churros: Im a churros lover and this was FRESH!! They literally fry it right in front of you. And its so cheap! I'd be careful though, its piping hot . But it cools down surprisingly fast. But genuinely is really hot and I bit a few right when they gave it to me and had to toss it like a potato around my mouth to avoid burns. Delicious churros, crunchy and sweet, I'd come back for more. That was just the regular, imagine the other flavors! Extra In a pretty nice Mexican community They accept debit, I gave them my card and they did the paying thing for me. Wait time is fast obv 5/5 churros

    Vanilla and caramel
    Ashley C.

    Hot and fresh churros with many filling options -strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, and caramel. Each was only $3 and they accept cash and card. This was a sweet treat and would love to get back, definitely check this our as it's made to order and fresh!

    Plantanos
    N M.

    We had the plain churro, hot and smothered with cinnamon sugar. It was perfect - proper crunchy exterior, good balance of savory and sweet, and full of texture and flavor. The woman behind the counter is highly competent and very nice. The plantanos was by far the most delicious though! It was served perfectly caramelized and drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. Food of the gods! Warning: be careful not to burn your tongue! Everything is *very* fresh from the fryer!

    $4 each for the filled ones
    Brianna R.

    Flavor wise, always excellent. With inflation though, the prices keep rising and the churros are getting smaller for sure. I've been coming since I was a kid and was shocked at the size this last time. Still love this place though. There are other carts as well nearby, but I like this place. They take cash & card.

    She was very friendly, full of smiles and efficient!

    Made to order, flavorful, a large portion of what became my favorite churros spot in Oakland (no more waiting to enjoy them in Lathrop). I purchased 3 total-caramel and strawberry flavors- whew wee they were so fresh and hot! The parking can be a challenge up close, , but there is plenty in the area, and I'd park around the corner to enjoy this spot! My service was excellent! I'll be back and I'll return!!

I got the garlic shrimp and noodles and it's so good. It comes with a sauce on the side that is amazing. The portions for $17 are also insane. The plate is huge and could last you at least two meals.

Beef skewers 3.8/5, good but nothing to brag home about or drive out the way for. Garlic noodles 2/5, overcooked soggy noodles w/ fake butter and garlic, not worth the calories or carb consumption. Shrimp 3.5/5, hot and crispy, crack sauce was mid. Needed more lime. 2 bites and was done. Gave it to a homeless person nearby. Service - Friendly. Wait time was 25-30 min. They need to revamp their menu/food photos. Pretty bad quality and size. If you park on the side road, they will bring it to your car. Not sure why the wait is long, the only thing piping hot was the shrimp. Everything else was just warm. Ambiance - Mural was beautiful. VERY DIRTY picnic table and benches, loud music, and across the street from the bart station. I had high hopes for this place especially it being family owned, but the influencers must be getting free food or something to hype this up because this was not it. There's so many better options in Oak. Sorry won't be back.

I really enjoyed the creamy orange sauce. $5.75 a taco may seem a bit much, but at least the taco size and quality justifies the price. I also ordered the smaller size of ceviche for $15. It came with 2 large round tortilla chips (not sure what these are called) and a packet of saltine crackers. I feel like a bag of tortilla chips would have gone nicely with the ceviche because I ran out of the 2 large chips and crackers before I finished the ceviche. The ceviche itself was perfect. Their spinach pineapple agua fresca was refreshing and reminded me of those Odwalla green smoothies. You do taste the spinach but it's sweet and tastes good! I got here around 5:40 on a Friday and there was plenty of outdoor seating available, though it did start to fill up the longer I stayed. You can enter on either side of the back of Aloha.

The wait was pretty long but expected at peak hours of the event. Although it was still good with the flavorful chicken, fresh produce, and tasty sauces, the wrap was smaller than I remembered and more expensive by a few bucks. The staff was working pretty hard cranking out all the orders so I gotta give them credit for surviving during the pandemic and economic crisis. The menu has some other tempting items like my people's pancit, adobo - I'll have to try their combos and the shawarma fries next time I see them in town!

This is a local business that I stumbled upon one night when I was highly craving tacos. I love how they still have seating despite the weather, rain or shine. If you're pulling up to this place, you're in luck -- because they have the best taco meats in all of Oakland. Whether you go for al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, or lengua-- they are all generously seasoned and rich, with that juicy, well-browned texture that makes each bite memorable. From what I've heard, Oakland locals often praise the quality and depth of the meats, and you can tell they're working with ingredients that stand up to the hype. The corn tortillas hold up beautifully too, as they were charred, warm at the edges. It's laid-back street food at its best--tacos that hit hard on flavor and make you want to come back for another round. Honestly, I would be coming here to enjoy with minimal fuss, cash in hand, and a big appetite.

They have two trucks, but this one had more people at it, so decided to order from this one. I went with 4 tacos (2 pastor, 2 carnitas) and a super burrito and a can of coke. $36 but my card was charged $39, guessing tax, so lesson learned bring cash. The tacos were pretty good. All the meats were on the sweeter side, but much preferred the carnitas over the pastor. I usually order a super burrito , and what I didn't realize was that a super burrito here means a larger burrito. At first I was like , why is it $20 - then when I got it, it was so massive that it could feed a small family or for me it was multiple meals. The burrito itself was tasty, I thought the carne was good, again a little sweet tasting, but the rice beans and sour cream made the burrito simple yet good. I ate half for one meal, then saved the other for later. Overall, it's one of those spots that I'm glad I tried it, and if I was in the area, I'd try it again.
