    Oakland Food Hall 2353 E 12th St, Oakland, CA 94601 Palmita is serving up a tasty Cal-Mex menu from it's commercial kitchen at the Oakland Food Hall. Also known as "ghost kitchens," Palmita only offers pickup or delivery. There's no dining room or "Palmita" storefront. The Palmita menu was created by the same people who created Ben's Fast Food and Umami Express. Palmita Website: https://www.eatpalmita.com/menu On Labor Day, I had a chance to try the Chicken Rice Bowl and the Green Smoothie. I chose "Silky Salsa Roja" as my sauce. The food arrived in a cardboard box. Which is okay if it's going to be delivered or picked up right away. I would of preferred a sealed plastic container. I added the sauce and mixed it in. The Chicken Rice Bowl is very tasty. The natural ingredients are evident in this flavorful mixture of "garlic, rice & millet, hand pulled chicken, cauliflower & red cabbage, taco seasoned corn and black beans, fresh tomatillos, pickled onion, cilantro garnish." Their webpage says everything is plant-based except for the added proteins. The Green Smoothie was a bit small for $5.95. But it was cold and refreshing with good stuff like "spinach, pineapple, and banana with a dash of lime juice and house coconut milk." Overall, a good experience.

    I'm really fortunate to have an employer that has a food program that supports local restaurants. As a result, we have an amazing variety of options daily. Palmita is one of my favorites because of the quality, variety and deliciousness of their offerings. Today's lunch is the chicken mixto salad minus the corn and bean salad. With the green Chile cilantro dressing on the side (I already poured it over the salad), the box includes tender juicy shredded chicken, pickled red onions, tomatillos, mixed greens and grains. It's delicious and filling. The combo of textures and flavors is out of this world! Be sure to give their shop a try so support this local business.

    My first time order here and I LOVE it. Looking for something healthy and delicious I found Palmita , the ingredients are fresh, cilantro dressing (plant based) add so much flavor. The mix of multiple ingredients some how taste so good together, I love the texture of it. It comes in a paper box and , compost utensils so 10/10. I also order a green smoothie (I craved it because The pictures look so good) and it was fresh, good taste without being sweet. I ordered it for pick up and it was really fast !! For sure I'd like to try more items. I recommend it!!

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. Finally, there's live Mexican music playing and the overall vibes are fantastic. 4.9/5

    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.
