    The food truck
    Gerardo M.

    I always come here to their food truck on 13th and they always make the food so delicious

    Tacos
    Janice T.

    Can't go wrong with their tacos. I love how they have many choices including tripe, tongue, and buche. It can get busy but it's worth the wait. There's additional parking at the back of the building.

    Surf and turf burrito....hands down so delicious...
    Chante S.

    I love this place!!! I eat here at least 3 times a week!!!! The food is always amazing!!!! The service is wonderful. Today is had a surf and turf burrito, first bite was juicy and flavorful. The carne Asad was wonderful. Their beans are my absolute favorite. Another favorite of mine is the huevos rancheros. Delicious!!!!

    I'm always looking for good Mexican food,and when looking I go on yelp ! Upon arriving ,I knew immediately this was my new favorite spot for tacos .I ordered the shrimp taco ,carne asada ,and grilled chicken ! All 3 had such great flavors and the shrimp was also grilled .I ordered a Jamaica to drink. .The chips were not homemade , but that's ok ,because everything else tasted amazing . I loved the Ambiance of the inside but not many places to sit ,a little small but worth going and sitting

    Queso Quesabirrias Order of 3 $12.99 ;)! $2.00 consome definitely shareable!
    Daniel R.

    Food was A1! Got some quesa birrias! Service was great some young dudes with great customer service! It's a home feel ambiance a little hole in the wall! I love it! Call In advanced to get your food don't come in here hangry expecting fast food services! They get a lot of phone orders and have people who are waiting for their orders. It's worth the patience:)!! So good!

    I didn't use the utensils I kno wassup

    This place has been consistently good every time I'm in the area for work within the past 8 years. From the tacos, to the chile relleno, I mean bru No manches The pupusas DONT SLEEP on em. Everything here I love and I just wanna try more but only come out when I work in the area. Very chill I've brought many ppl here very awesome

    Al Pastor Quesadilla.  It comes as a whole dinner plate for $12.99!
    Lionel C.

    I was on a personal retreat in the area. Before getting started, I just wanted to grab a late dinner. I felt like going Mexican, and yelpers gave this a good rating, so I decided to head over. I ordered the Al Pastor quesadilla. I opted to dine in and then soon realized it actually came as a whole dinner plate! There were very generous helpings of refried beans and rice. The beans were also topped with a smooth layer of melted queso. The bed of shredded lettuce and tomatoes was super fresh. And unlike a lot of taquerias where the Pastor is heavily sweet, here it was more tangy than sweet with the pork marinated very thoroughly. Everything stayed hot, even through a cold autumn night. I finished most of it, but still had a slice of quesadilla left. I usually leave something like this in the fridge for a couple of nights to finish off later, so I don't get taste fatigue. But I enjoyed it enough that I decided to finish it that same night as a late snack. Aesthetically I have to admit the dish looked plain. But its appearance belied the subtle and pleasantly balanced blend of different spices and flavors. I'm really glad I dropped by. Thank you my fellow yelpers for beckoning me here. Another bonus was that everywhere was really clean, including the restroom. It was clear that ownership was very conscientious about how it cooked as well as how it kept the establishment. And a convenient parking lot to boot. Being in San Pablo, it's not too far from me, but then, sadly, not too close. At $12.99 for such a generous and tasty offering, it's a borderline steal. I just wish it was also on a borderline of Oakland.

    Burrito mojado with cabeza and extra sauce
    Kenneth H.

    Called in for pick-up. My usual go-to is a wet burrito with cabeza. Probably my favorite cabeza I've had so far. I rarely dine in, because the tables are kinda sticky, and it can get kinda warm. Seats aren't the most comfortable. Staff is friendly. Prices have gone up a bit, but not everything can be a costco hotdog.

    Amanda C.

    4.5 stars, best tacos in the area imo! Got the al pastor, cabeza, and lengua. Very flavorful and kind service. Just had to wait 25-30 minutes on a Wednesday night which was longer than expected. Free chips and salsa which is nice but it is limited to 2 salsas per order. The chips are also circular instead of your typical tortilla chips. Nice and toasty! Will def return next time we're in the area.

    They have the best burritos on this side of the bay bridge. The meat is always cooked and seasoned right and I love the ratios of beans/ rice/cheese. They also have a great variety of items on the menu. The place is clean, efficient and are greeted with friendly service.

    Veggie custom; soy chorizo, cheese, egg. Breakfast date and big enough to share.

    Terrible burrito. They put some kind of sugar that makes it sweet and disgusting into a meat burrito. Really low quality everything.

I grabbed a burrito here and ate it inside the movie theater with the red salsa and lemon, and it was so good I ate the entire thing. For context, I'm pretty petite and I usually can't finish a full burrito--but this one? I couldn't stop. It was that good. Super flavorful, satisfying, and just hit the spot in a way I wasn't expecting. At first, I thought it was a little pricey, but once you get the burrito, it makes sense. It's dense, filling, and honestly a big burrito--you're getting your money's worth. I've already been recommending this place to my friends, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for genuinely good food. I'm excited to come back and try more items on the menu. So good. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the East Bay.

The waiter was too funny , his joking making us laugh out loud. As we cleaned our plates entirely he joked whether we wanted to lick them. We did want to. The food was that good. On a Monday afternoon it wasn't too loud, but the Mexican music added just the right touch to the ambience and our waiter's kind encouragement of a little girl's learning Spanish felt very Mexican. My friend was delighted with her shrimp enchiladas. The vegetables were al dente and of superior quality and taste too. The rice wads fluffy with each grain discreet. The pinto beans tasted great. The chocolate cake was so fresh, rich, and decadent we almost couldn't believe it with chocolate syrup on the plate to deepen the chocolate flavor when several layers of iced cake was dragged through it. The food is not cheap and it tastes superb. Each dish deserves to be savored in its perfection. Even the water served very cold with a lemon wedge tasted extremely good. If you want a special experience of exceptionally good food, with equally exceptional service, go to Agave Azul. It's worth every penny and more.

The menu offers a good variety of Mexican inspired dishes, from tacos and birria ramen and burritos. Everything we tried had great flavor and was clearly made fresh. The sauces, seasoning and overall balance of the dishes were definitely the highlight of the meal. We ordered quite a few items including quesabirria, shrimp tacos, a burrito and birria ramen. The shrimp tacos were especially flavorful, topped with a creamy sauce that paired really well with the shrimp. The quesabirria tacos also had that nice crispy texture with the rich birria flavor that people look for. The restaurant itself is clean, organized and well set up, with outdoor seating available which is nice on a sunny day. It has a relaxed vibe where you can sit down with friends and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. The only thing I noticed across several of the dishes was that the portions of meat felt a little light compared to the tortilla or toppings. The flavor is absolutely there, but a slightly more generous portion of meat would make these dishes even better. Overall, solid spot with great flavor and a fun menu. With just a little more generosity on the protein portions, this place could easily be a standout taco spot.
