The hype over their fish tacos is well deserved! The fish pieces were battered, fried, and very…read moresubstantial. 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.

Agua de fresa was really yummy, just a little sweet for me. The 2nd time I ordered huarache con pollo and that was so good. I ordered agua de piña, which was hella refreshing. Service was good both times. Personally, I like a hole in the wall restaurants and this is one of them. Hidden with great food. When you're finished, throw your trash away and wipe down the table! Duh! PS I like that you can get your own salsa, limón etc.

DON'T EAT AT THIS PLACE!!!!…read more I used to love this place. However, the burrito I got last week ago gave me severe food poisoning. That was the only meal I had that day so I know for a fact that it was this burrito that caused the poisoning. I was out of commission for the whole week with constant vomiting and diarrhea. This place should not be serving food without a health inspection.

A tamale and some slaw with green sauce for $2! And these are the best tamales in the Bay Area!!!…read more I've been coming here for probably about 5 years now. It's a little stand at the corner of Fruitvale and International Blvd in Oakland. They are only open in the morning, from 6:30 am to 11 am. I first noticed this place when I was driving by and saw a long line of people. I had to stop and find out what was going on. Since then I've been hooked. My husband was NOT a tamales fan until I brought home one and made him eat it. Now he loves these tamales. They have pork tamales, chicken (red and green sauce) and some kind of sweet one the last I checked, but since I don't care for a sweet tamales I only stick to the pork and the chicken. The pork tamales are my favorite. Light, almost fluffy masa with melt-in-your-mouth pork with red sauce wrapped in corn husks. The vinegar based slaw and green sauce are self served. The slaw and the sauce both has jalapenos and has some kick. Try it out!

I adore this little gem…read more It is one of the better tamale stands of the area in my opinion. It's open early which is a plus. My pork tamale was really tasty and a bargain. The price is ideal for being a "broke college student" +the slaw was a pleasant surprise! Be sure you try it out

A new Quesabirria Taco stand for the San Antonio District of Oakland…read more This one has a lot of promise and is worth a try, especially if you're in the neighborhood and hungry or need a tire repaired. They sit out in front of Fernando's Tire Service, friendly folks that can fix your flat in less than the time it takes for you to order and eat a couple Quesabirria Tacos. Their taco sides and salsas are first rate. They had watermelon in the Aguas frescas Jar, perfect for a Oakland Summer day. They are across the street from Garfield Park (23rd and Foothill) near San Antonio Park and a Latinx grocery; so they will always have fresh supplies. Unfortunately, they are going to be a hit, very soon. So, your wait may be a be a bit longer than my first visit.

Went in with zero expectations and left planning my next visit…read more Stopped by Tacos Mi Rancho near Lake Merritt and honestly didn't know what to expect. From the outside, it looks like a straightforward taco truck, but wow was I surprised. I ordered the Carnitas Super Taco, which came loaded with lettuce, cheese, cilantro, onions, sour cream, and guacamole. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. My only complaint? You only get one taco per order because I definitely could've eaten another. The Kid ordered the Carne Asada Super Taco and before we even pulled away, she was asking for a second one. That's usually a pretty good sign. We also tried the horchata and jamaica, and both were delicious. The horchata was creamy and flavorful, while the jamaica was refreshing and not overly sweet. What surprised me most was how quickly they got the food out, especially considering how popular this spot seems to be. A few things to know: * Cash or Venmo only * Parking can be a challenge, but it's worth it * Keep an eye out for the new speed cameras in the area Their hours are another plus: Open daily, 9:30am- midnight Overall, this was one of those pleasant surprises that reminds you not to judge a place by appearances. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

As much as I wanted to rate this place higher, unfortunately the steak fries was below par…read more Tacos Mi Rancho is a food truck that operates near Lake Merritt. No tables and chairs outside - just pure to-go. Parking is limited to street parking with many of the spaces taken by Lake Merritt visitors. There was a constant flow of customers when I went during non-peak dining hours, so I'd assume that they have lines during other times. The steak fries were a bit bland with too much sour cream and less of everything else making the fries a bit soggy. The sauces did a lot of the heavy lifting to make this dish a bit more enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try their burritos and tacos - which are what they are most known for (I just was craving steak fries that day). There must be a reason why locals love this food truck!
