    Torta de Carnitas
    Dana S.

    Service - 4/5 Food - 5/5 Popped in here midday on Saturday and had a good experience. Quick service and good food. Ordered the carnitas torta and would 100% order this again. We also ordered the bean and cheese Pupusa and cheese and pork pupusa. Both were delicious but I preferred the simple bean and cheese one.

    Tres Leches

    We ordered take-out, our meal was ready to pick up quick! I like that it's family-owned we gotta support small eateries. Got a carne asada burrito and a super chicken burrito. I noticed dessert in the fridge under beverages. Impulsively bought Mexican tiramisu and tres leches. The tres leches was SO good!!! There was flan available too, many options! We will be back.

    El Caballo Wraps is a small hole in the wall Taqueria on Lincoln Ave in Alameda. The menu is quite extensive though offering every type of burrito imaginable, tacos including snapper fish tacos, fajitas, pupusas, and the list goes on. They were kind enough to let us sample their chicken tortilla soup which was fresh and homemade. While sampling the soup we order one of their special burritos called Super Seafood Burrito. Super Seafood Burrito: at first I was taken back by the total which was $19.88 with tax included. But in defense, burritos on this side of the bay for whatever reason have inflated to that price. I wish someone would tell my employer, I shouldn't have to work so many hours just to buy burritos. But I digress... The burrito was good tasting and every bite had shrimp in it. That makes it a winner in my book. No skimping and good SABOR. El Caballo is definitely a spot to check out for solid Mexican food in Alameda.

    Pork and cheese pupusas. Amazing!!!!

    Just want to express my LOVE of this place again! And love love love the new chicken Al pastor! Soooo good! I'm currently on a keto/low carb diet. My go-to's are the two super tacos with the chicken Al pastor. They load them up! I take them home and scoop them onto my own Keto tortillas and they are absolutely fabulous!!! Also the chicken tortilla soup is the best I have ever had! Great for keto diet (as long as you don't put the tortilla strips in it, and trust me it doesn't need it.). Super hardy with big chunks of chicken and vegetables. Big fan! And as always the staff is amazing and super friendly. They are the best in alameda!

    Date: 7/5/2021 Time: 6:40 PM 62° Partly cloudy El Caballo Wraps was recommended to me by a fellow yelper of Alameda. Thanks to Steve D for his review and the photo of the fish tacos. I called the order in and told the employee I would be there to pick up. I don't live too far from El Caballo Wraps. As many times as my husband and I have driven by this business to run errands, never once did we stop by to sample their food and/or even notice the business was there. I am totally impressed. First time here and they did not disappoint at all. Eats: husband had the super carne asada burrito and I had the carnitas platter with flour tortillas. I have to admit that it was one humongous burrito and hubby could only eat 1/3 of it. He enjoyed his burrito and said it was better than the one from the place on Webster Street. The carnitas platter was too much for me. The portion was generous and it has taken me three meals to finish it (yesterday's dinner, today's lunch and this evening's dinner). I filled the three flour tortillas with the meat, rice, beans and fixings for small burritos. Lunch was part of the leftover with their tortilla chips and some spicy salsa. This evening's dinner was the remaining leftover with scrambled eggs, tortilla chips and pico de gallo. I am so full and I feel a siesta coming along. Finally, there will be more visits to El Caballo Wraps. Again, I am thankful to Steve D for his recommendation. I am convinced the food is the best and quite delicious. They also have a better selection on their menu. Hurray for El Caballo. Before I forget, the Jamaica was a thirst quencher and refreshing.

    I love them. They're my favorite Mexican place on the island. The staff is so nice and the food is bomb. Just look at this glorious Taco Salad

    I love this place, and I'm really happy it made it thru the Covid-19 shutdown. As of May 1, 2021, it's still takeout and delivery, with a few tables outside on the sidewalk. The place is less than a mile from my house, so I just go pickup my order. El Caballo Wraps is located between St Charles St and Bay St, along Lincoln Ave. On Saturday, I ordered the Baja Fish tacos and the Beans and Cheese Pupusa. OMG, the Baja Fish Tacos were still crispy nearly 30 mins after I picked up my order. They put two pieces of battered fried (cod) fish on one tortilla, then bury them with tasty toppings. Not salty, not super spicy.....just perfect fried fish tacos! You get 2 Tacos per order. The Pupusa with beans & cheese was still warm wrapped up in foil. It was served with pickled curtido and tomato sauce. Free chips and salsa included. Street parking only

I spoke with the owner/manager, and he was extremely apologetic and sincere. Even though I accept his apology and appreciate him trying to make things right. Unfortunately, I am too disgusted and grossed out to see myself returning anytime soon. I appreciate the professionalism of handling this issue and I was hesitant to write this review and post this picture. The attached picture is the taco and a picture of the rubber band. Per my call with the owner/manager he thinks the rubber band came from the bundle of cilantro. Regardless of where the rubber band came from, I still feel completely disgusted and grossed out.

As a first timer, it was nice to see the folks behind the counter know peoples orders without them ordering... we came end of day and didn't get any of the meats we wanted. No more chicharron or chile verde. Another usual customer was surprised to hear chile verde sold out and muttered "but that one never sells out..." Good enough deal to get the burrito and can soda for $14. Burrito itself was good enough. Not something i would crave for though. The tortilla was my favorite part. I wish they tightened the burrito roll. They don't give a lot of meat. The steak one was basically falling apart while eating it. The Carnitas was not chopped up, just few big dry chunks to work on... no slurpability to my burrito which knocks off a star... the salsa was definitely medium to hot heat level spice. I for sure needed the coke to help me finish my burrito without suffering from the heat too much. I will definitely want to try coming again for the chicharron. Hopefully it will be a better experience considering we went closer to the closing time. It's nice that their front is open for folks to just enjoy the space without cars, so that ups the appeal a bit more.

Very generous portion for the price, five dollars per taco and they were big. 5 stars on that. Nice little salsa bar, all of the sauces were good and fresh. All you can eat chips. Nice! The lady taking our order was nice. I am going to ding them a star on the ambience. It was freezing in there and they really could do more with the decor, but whatever, it's a taqueria, not fine dining. There are only four tables so not a lot of places to sit. I came back to try their burritos. They were fine. Everyone in my group ate them. The vegetarian one was kind of slimy - must have had cactus in it which I hate and failed to notice on the menu. Overall, solid taqueria choice on the east end. I went back and took pictures of the menu because they don't have a website and there are no current menu pictures for this place.

I'd read other reviews saying they were good, and that CRT made their own chips and had good portions. So we tried it when we were nearby. It was a "cheap" ($17) dinner fail. The chips were good. The portion was pretty good, but the nachos were bad. The salsa, separately, was also bad. You picked from tasteless pico de guyo (sp?) or overly hot salsa. No in between. Mouth on fire vs tasteless tomato chunks. The chicken was really bad. Was it old, or just NOT my flavor? Hard to tell the guacamole was thin and too lime-y. I almost wondered if it was from Costco. Cheese was also not good. We had also just exercised, and we were really hungry. This should have tasted good based on our previous exercise. But nope. I would bear loud bad music on repeat and too-bright fluorescent lights if the food was good. But you couldn't get me to go back to CRT ever again. :(

    Updates 4/4/26: Today was a catastrophic experience. We came here about 12pm or so. Just FYI…read more We have come to this restaurant several times because we really enjoy their food and drinks. It is like "Our Best Mexican" spot to go to. My wife and I decided to eat outside today. Our table was dirty upon sitting down. Like you could clearly see that it needed ti be wiped down. The hostess did not. We requested lemon with our water when she asked if we wanted something to drink. She brought water and no lemons. I didn't understand the slackness because it was only 2 tables of ppl outside. No one was inside at the time. I ordered my usual which was the red snapper plate with hot sauce and garlic oil on the side. My wife ordered the shrimp/octopus entree. The food came and her's was great. My rice was cold and hard. I had to send it back. My snapper was a bit on the light crispy side. Sure also brought it big bowls of the hot sauce and garlic oil. I was a little in disbelief because normally both of them look like a oil type of sauce. Today they were both clumped because it was served cold. When I begun to eat my snapper, it was a bit wet on the inside and not as cooked as I am used to. I became nauseous because of it. It took a lil min for the waitress to come back and honestly.. I had to speak to another waitress to get it recooked. When my original waitress brought it back out.. it was so much better. She even brought the hot sauce that it normally comes with... it in the texture it normally is and the size. She took back the rice and beans again because at that point.. they were both beyond cold. When they were brought back out, they were both hot.. but the rice was a bit crunchy in certain areas. I was too hungry to complain again.. so I ate around those parts. Now for the drinks (This part pissed me off the most). So, I always order the $20 marg.. which is supposed to have Sieste Langua Blanco, host citrus blend, Grand Mariner float and a shot of Don Julio 1942. That 1sr round of drinks was so watered down. There also was salt/tajin around the part that you hold the glass AND the salt part looked like it was melted on.. no ruin at all was seen. We did not feel anything after drinking it and we should have because of what liquors were supposed to be used. So I went and spoke to the bartender about the weakness of the drinks because I did not feel that my waitress would do a good enough job. He decided to put the next round in smaller glasses with less ice (Originally, he wants me to add another shot for strength.. but I did not feel that I should of they made it right this time). When that drink came, it was light in color and the taste was like a regular marg. The color was not orange, the presentation looked bad. So I took myself back up and questioned the bartender with the hostess standing there. She did not support me at all. At first the bartender acknowledged that he did not put any Grand Marnier in it. Then I questioned the color, so he decided to make it on front of me. He put Pueblo ...resposado, triple sec and a shot of grand mariner (It should have been a floater). Nothing other than the Grand Mariner was correct. Today was when I found out that they do not put the alcohols listed on the menu on the actual drink!!! I was pissed. I asked for the manager because today we have an issue with everything. I got the runaround from the hostess because she agreed like she was getting the manager and she was not and I do believe the bartender knew he messed up to. It took the fake manager over 10 miss to meet me at the bar. The hostess, the bartender and the ways/manager a are all shady!! Only one employee ensured to get the real manager and update me on his ETA because he was not in the building. I spoke with him and he made things right. He even got behind the bar and made the drink as it shouod be presented and taste. I told him that I really love this restaurant and will return.. but i will be going to the bar to get my drinks made in my face. Thank you to him!
