East bay burrito #66 Initial taste - 6/7 Meat - 5/7 Beans - 6/7 Rice - 6/7 Cheese - 6/7 Salsa - 4/7 Tortilla - 5/7 Overall 6/7 rounded up. No one ingredient is tops but everything was very tasty. I honestly didn't expect to like this burrito as much as I did because the Taqueria is pretty new an I have a belief that great taste comes with kitchen "age". But it was really good. Love the recipe of their refried beens and that also makes their bean and cheese burrito one of my new faves. read more

I can confirm their shrimp burrito is excellent. I also love that you can get a choice of black, pinto or refried beans in it. Their ingredients always taste so fresh and never make me feel weighted down after eating. Chips are included (seems to be rare now) and are nice and airy. Employees always are friendly and nice. Space is cute and inviting although, I usually just get items to go. I highly recommend also picking up one of their desserts or agua frescas as well! read more

Glenview Taqueria - Tacos Near Me - Oakland, California

DELIVERY ONLY - In a never ending search for an epic shrimp burrito, so when I saw they offered it I had to order. The price was decent (considering some locations charge $20 for a burrito!). The size for the price was good, plenty of shrimp and plenty of flavor! What makes it even more enjoyable is that the order comes with chips and two different kinds of salsas! Wild that places charge you $4 and more for a bag of chips This is not the best shrimp burrito that I have had BUT it is the best that I have had in Oakland. Will come back again to try their other items. read more

Small business on Park Blvd with only three tables inside. Wait in line to order and they'll bring the food to you. It's a small menu, tacos are delicious but I'm told the pozole is epic. Huge beer selection. read more

4207 Park Blvd Oakland, CA 94602 I was there, Glenview Taqueria, in Oakland's Glenview neighborhood! I received a tip that that this place had hellya good batter fried fish tacos! I had to go try them. If I had only ordered fish tacos, I would be writing a 5-star review. But no, I ordered a grilled chicken burrito too. The burrito was a bit too salty. Sorry, I won't be ordering that again. But the fish tacos were a delicious dish. They aren't very large, but are packed with flavor. Would I come again? Maybe read more

Well that was the most disappointing experience I've had in a long time. I stopped in with a a friend to grab some lunch to go, went in and ordered at the counter. The person working behind the counter was nice and that's about the best I can say, aside from the agua fresca being delicious. Our orders were both inedible, cold to the touch and one order was completely incorrect, unless their chicken looks like steak. Sure I took them to go, but I drove less than 2 miles away so I highly doubt that this was customer error. Either way, we were both highly disappointed and won't be going back again that's for sure. read more

Love this place the birria is soooooo good. Great service food was done really quick and everything was fresh. They have 3 super tasty salsas with different levels of spicy. Also recommend the burrito bowl I ordered mine with steak and shrimp read more

We just picked up dinner - shrimp tacos and a Carne Asada burrito, and it was EXCELLENT. The FLAVOR was next level on both entrees. Staff is efficient and professional. Price was good--especially for this flavor. That's the key--the flavor was like 3 dimensional. Keep up the good work Glenview Taqueria! read more

Eaten food from here a few times now and in general the food is very flavorful and delicious. They have a large variety of drinks available and desserts. Inside the taqueria there's a beautiful mural. Not a lot of seating in general but there is a bit inside and outside. read more

Giving them a few months to settle in before I make a stronger decision on the restaurant. We waited 25 minutes for our order of 2 burrito bowls and 4 street tacos. It wasn't too busy, but this was just the first week. Unfortunately the taco order was completely wrong and we didn't notice until we got home and opened the food up. Even though the taqueria is close by, we didn't have time to wait another half hour for them to fix it. Carne asada is the stand out protein. The pollo, rice, and beans could use a blast of flavor. $5 a taco is a lot and hurts more of your order is wrong. read more

I've tried this place a handful of times and I don't see myself ordering from this place again. Today we ordered an Al pastor burrito today and it had barely any meat! See my pic for reference. It's basically a bean and rice burrito. That totally wasn't worth $18! Also, I dislike places that use the smallest tiniest sauce holders possible, they gave just one green and one red. I could have asked for more but it's also not good for the environment. It's giving cheapppp vibes. It's a pass for me guys. Note to the owner: Get it right every time, so you won't have to try to get it right the 2nd time. read more

Glenview Taqueria - Al Pastor Burrito with sooooo little meat! - Tacos Near Me - Oakland, California

Popped in for a brunch burrito today. I had the camarones super burrito. It was great, the shrimp tasted like they were grilled and they were not rubbery. Friendly service too. A very welcome addition to our neighborhood. read more

My carne asada burrito from Glenview Taqueria was solid, but nothing super special or that I've never had before. However, the portion size was great (2 meals for me!). The customer service was also awesome. I was running late to pick up my order and the staff kept it on the warmer for me and even checked to make sure I got my car trouble sorted out! read more

Sergio catered our party last night. He set up a taco bar. He was kind, prompt, and responsive to every request. The food was mouthwatering. Go get his tacos immediately! read more

Came back today on a Saturday, kids steak burrito was amazing so was spicy salsa. The lady was such a doll too, cant wait til next time:)

Perfect fish tacos and the owner is very respectful and there fish tacos are due to the contrast of textures and flavors, typically featuring crispy, beer-battered white fish (like cod or tilapia) paired with creamy, zesty sauces and crunchy, fresh slaw. Originating from Baja California, Mexico, they offer a perfect, light, and savory one-handed meal often topped with lime, cilantro, and pico de gallo. read more

We've been back here several times since my first review, and I think Glenview Taqueria has worked out most of the issues that were apparent in their early days. I still think both the shrimp tacos and fish tacos are excellent--the fish and shrimp are perfectly cooked and delicate, with a great overall flavor. I could just order these and be perfectly happy. On an earlier visit, the al pastor burrito had scarcely any pastor in it, but on our most recent visit, the burrito had plenty of pastor, and it tasted good, too! The pollo asada burrito was also more satisfying on subsequent visits, both in terms of flavor and the balance of the ingredients inside. The "medium" red salsa that came on the side on our most recent visit was also quite good, and worked well with both the tortilla chips and when adding it to the burritos. We look forward to coming here more regularly. Also, I have not seen the guy who was working the register and taking orders on my very first visit there, which is fine because his communication skills were odd and he was kind of rude. But customer service has been great on every visit since then. To respond to the owner's response to my original review: For whatever reason, It wasn't crystal clear to me back then when looking at the menu that guac only comes on the super burrito, but in my defense, when I was asking that guy who took my order to leave sour cream off the burritos, that could have been his cue to inform me that sour cream (and guac, for that matter) only comes on super burritos anyway--that would've cleared up any confusion, and then I would've ordered the super burritos. read more

This place is great! What a fantastic addition to Glenview! First off the place is very clean, kitchen totally visible, with a simple no frills decor. I eat vegetarian and they were very accommodating (don't be misled by the simple menu, burritos can be made vegetarian, and there is a super option too). Pinto and black beans are both fully vegetarian which is rare (and delicious!) The place was poppin when I was there, great vibes and happy smiling staff and customers. But of course it's all about the food which was amazing!! Everything was so fresh and tasty, large and satisfying. It was also not greasy and not overly salty, and tasted fresh and healthy. The tortillas used for the tacos are homemade there, as well as all the salsas. You have to try the Veggie Quesabirria, even if you're not vegetarian. Yum! They also have a nice and extensive beer selection which was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely be back for more, get over there! read more

What a great find in Oakland... Glenview Taqueria is phenomenal! The crispy cheese quesabirria was out of this world. I tried both the beef and portabella mushroom versions, and honestly, both were incredible. They grill the cheese right onto the tortilla, creating this perfect crispy crust that holds in the tender, flavorful fillings. The beef was rich and succulent, while the mushrooms offered an unexpected, earthy depth that was phenomenal. And of course, that rich consommé for dipping? Pure genius. I also grabbed a fish taco, and it was spot-on. The fish was cooked perfectly--flaky inside with a nice, crispy batter. Topped with a bright slaw and a zesty sauce, it was super fresh and well-balanced. Beyond the food, the vibe was great, and the service was friendly. If you're in Oakland and craving some amazing tacos, whether you're into meat or looking for killer vegetarian options, you've got to check out Glenview Taqueria. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Everything has cilantro, even when I tell them no cilantro. If you dislike cilantro avoid this place.

Cashier was the sweetest! Was craving a burrito after being out of the country and she gave me the warmest welcome home. Burrito was fire btw. Was so happy to see they have spinach tortilla read more

You must get the fish tacos - they are packed with flavor - fried crispy fish pickled onion and a great sauce. I'm still thinking about how good they were. I tried the nachos as well and they do not skimp on meat! They also weren't drenched in cheese which is how I prefer mine. Food was 9/10 and service was 10/10. Great place for Mexican food in Oakland. read more

So so good!! I came on their grand opening last month and HAD to come back for the carnitas tacos. The carnitas tacos were served on a fresh tortilla with pico se gallo on top. I liked eating it with a fork on top of a chip (minus the tortilla it's served on. Their guacamole is bomb. I usually have to add like and salt when I'm out but theirs was perfect. Great selection of beers & ciders. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood. Shrimp and fish tacos are tasty (haven't tried the chicken, pork or steak yet). Service is courteous and swift. Prices are comparable to other similar taquerias in the area. Will definitely support it. read more

The mushroom tacos and burritos are both great vegetarian options! I get them with black beans and guacamole. The sauce that the mushrooms are cooked in is really flavorful! read more

The food was delicious, but be sure you check your order before you leave there. We ordered two chicken burrito bowls, and that's what was on the receipt, but went home with one chicken and shrimp burrito and an order of elote. Although we live pretty close by, parking and delaying dinner another half hour or so didn't seem worth the effort, so we ate what we had, but come on! Someone probably went home with the two burrito bowls... read more

I like fresh Mexican food definitely a must try place and they have fresh tortillas super authentic the best place I tried in a minute the steak is fresh read more

Food was excellent. This area was in separate need of a good Mexican restaurant. So glad for this spot. Everyone go!

The service was great with kind and hard working staff who cared to get the order right and take care of the customers. The food was yummy and priced right. The new local taqueria is very needed on Park! I'll be coming back here. read more

The staff is very friendly and accommodating to requests. The service is efficient. The food is fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend.

My new favorite Mexican spot in Oakland and it's in a good location, despite the limited parking on Park. I had a burrito bowl, surf n turf style and it was absolutely delicious. Portions are sizable as you can see, the shrimp was perfectly cooked and both shrimp and asada had really good flavor. Everything was so fresh, the chips are salted perfectly, and I love their salsa. I had a deep red one but they also have a verde which looked good but I didn't taste. I got this via Door Dash today because I tried it yesterday in person, it was that good that I ordered it today. I will. I also tried the quesadilla with asada but I didn't take a pic of it. Staff were also super friendly. read more

Glenview Taqueria - Surf n Turf burrito bowl - Tacos Near Me - Oakland, California

Love having a taqueria in the neighborhood. And that they stay open through the afternoon since I never know when my lunch time will occur. Inside is an open space with a large fridge with lots of drink options including what looked like a very nice selection of canned beer (not on a workday but I will be back). There are a couple of small tables and chairs inside with a long bar to the side with barstools. They also have a couple of small tables outside which are really great to enjoy the sun. The menu is pretty simple tacos, bowls, a surprise of loaded fries, etc. Tried the fried cod, beef and pork tacos and really enjoyed the house made tortillas and fresh toppings and especially the pickled jalapeno (YUM). Our favorite was the pork taco but we are ready to go back and try the vegetarian options. Salsa comes in mild, medium and spicy and the medium is great option. Super friendly staff too. Can't wait to grab a couple of bowls for takeout next time! read more

Glenview Taqueria - Tacos on what I think are house made tortillas. - Tacos Near Me - Oakland, California

I dropped in today for a burrito after seeing all of the positive reviews and unfortunately I was disappointed. The place is nice and clean and their salsas were good, the customer service was fine but my problem was the food. And what makes this even more painful is that the food wasn't bad at all. Actually each element of the burrito was pretty good. The rice was tasty, the beans were just fine and what little steak I did get was good. But that was the problem, there was VERY LITTLE steak. And the fact that the burrito cost me nearly 15 dollars makes that an even bigger problem for me. I kept taking bites thinking ok the steak will be in the next bite, but it never came! The attached picture is halfway through the burrito and it was still mostly all rice and beans. By the time I got to the end there wasn't even that pocket of meat that you get when a burrito isn't properly mixed when it's rolled! There seriously was that little meat. If you are going to serve burritos in Oakland where there is a plethora of options you need to not skimp on the meat. I am not asking for the burrito to overfloweth with meat I just want a burrito that isnt all rice and beans with a dash of meat. I am going to go back at some point to see if it is changed and if it does I'll update my review. But for now the burrito was skimpy as heck on the meat at that price point. read more

I wish I could say more. I've lived in the neighborhood for over 25 years and was excited to hear about a local taqueria. I tried it and got a burrito for $22 which seemed high to me especially because the beef must have been an inferior cut because of the amount of gristle. Sadly, won't be going back and will have to drive up the hill to Montclair again. read more

Shrimp, fish and carne asado tacos are delish! Each of the beans are very well done--my son is a bean lover and these are some of his faves. Also, they add a cheese frico to their quesadillas which I've never had before and now never want a plain quesadilla again bc it's SO GOoD. Lovely staff that always goes above and beyond. So happy to have them in the neighborhood. We go sometimes weekly :) read more
