    Interior (by restrooms)

    Todos Cantina is located on the corner of Valdez & 23rd Street. There is mostly street parking (metered and 2-hour parking) and parking garages nearby. The interior is festive and brightly decorated. A full bar on one side and kitchen on the other side. They offer inside and outside seating. Two separate single-user men and women's restrooms. The food looked good from what I saw. Though, I only ordered an Agua Fresca Sandia (Watermelon). Affordable, refreshing and delicious. Support your local business.

    Quality/Quantity - We almost did NOT come today. After circling for parking 3+ times, I told my family if we don't find a space this last drive by, we will go to a different place for dinner and a different brewery! Got lucky and parked two blocks away. We also went to Lovely's restaurant and Two Pitchers Brewing premises. See pictures and other 5 star Yelp reviews. The last time I was here was for an amazing Yelp event in August of 2023! Only stopped by for their Happy Hour; see pictures. A good deal. Had the following margaritas - Casa, classic, mango, cilantro. Ambiance - Decent size location. The other side of the restaurant has a to-go counter. No parking! See above. Open 7 days a week, from 11am to 8pm, 9pm, or 10pm; see Yelp or their website. Service - Good. Catering available. Price - Great prices during Happy Hour! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2022. If it was NOT for the parking, I/we would come more often.

    This is a lovely restaurant with quirky wall art and a welcoming atmosphere. Both indoor and outdoor seating were available when I came by for dinner this past Saturday. I sat myself, then ordered via the digital dine-in QR code at the table (alternatively guests can order at the bar or counter). My order was ready in just 3 minutes. So fast and easy, with friendly and professional service by staff. Got the steak quesadilla without guacamole, a simple dish with great presentation and even better taste. It was definitely thicker than a typical quesadilla, and just the right size to fill my hunger without overeating. The meat was juicy, and there was a generous amount of cheese and sour cream stuffed into the golden crisp tortilla. It came with two sauces on the side, red and green. I preferred the latter. Neither was really spicy but this one was less pungent. All in all, it was a delicious meal.

    Todos is a friendly, community-oriented spot with plenty of seating, a bar and great vibes all around! The staff is very friendly and accommodating as well. As it was our first time ordering, they patiently walked us through the process and provided great recs for us to try. The food portions are generous here! I tried the quesadilla suiza con carnitas and it was so filling and delicious. The meat was tender and the cheese was nice and melty. The churro bites remind me of a pillowy beignet that are delicately coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture and dunk perfectly into the chocolate and caramel sauces. I didn't get to try the drinks this time but that's my goal for next time! I highly recommend checking this place out for a great time.

    Stopped by during the week during lunch. There was no wait. I was helped immediately. The customer service was good. I ordered 3 chicken tacos and a horchata. The horchata was really good. The chicken tacos were filled which was nice. I wish they had a little more flavor. I enjoyed the green salsa. The location is really cute. They have outdoor seating as well.

    Agua fresca - pina

    I just got to try Todos the other day. They have some outdoor tables that are spaced pretty far apart but since it's on the sidewalk, you would still have passersby walk by you and it's also a little scary of an intersection since there are many almost car accidents that happen out there - I witnessed several, as well other incidents of cars honking, in the span of about 1.5 hours. Crispy impossible chorizo taco, crispy: I was hesitant at first with it being a $7 taco, but pleasantly surprised by how large this taco was. They included a good amount of impossible meat, which is seasoned, so that carried the bulk of the flavor of the taco. Since I had chosen the "crispy" option, they actually put two taco shells, one soft tortilla and then a hard crispy shell outside of that. Agua fresca, pina: I liked this a lot, it was fruity without being overpoweringly sweet and it was a generously large size. Chips and salsa: The chips are alright, they taste at least somewhat salted which I appreciated. I did find that with the dips provided, it was somewhat manageable to scoop up salsa or guac, but very hard to scoop of the black bean sauce since it was very liquidy, and it was slightly spicy. It was a ton of chips, so I would recommend having at least a few people to share it. But it was pretty good amount of food for the price. Fries: They were fine, but I wish they were crispier personally since they were more on the thick and soft side. I only tried the fries since it was part of an order of chicken tenders and fries. Overall, pretty good food and I'm glad they have multiple vegetarian options, including having impossible meat options since I prefer to have some sort of protein or meat alternative instead of only vegetables.

    Mezcal Piña
    Gina G.

    Todos, so nice to meet ya! I'm always on the hunt for a spot that I can share a marg with a girlfriend while snacking on chips/guac/salsa. Have I found my new spot? Todos is located in Uptown Oakland..a spot that seems almost forgotten about ~ located on Valdez Street, there's plenty of metered parking, new developments, and if you may remember, Modern Times (and a few other spots used to inhabit this area pre pandemic times). BUT, Todos is a colorfully vibrant and lively establishment that beams good vibes, fresh Mexican food, and all the happy hour feels. We did the Cucumber-Cilantro Margarita and Mezcal Piña. Amazing! The marg was light and crisp, the mezcal smoky, and loved the hint of grilled pineapple and Fresno chili. Looked super pretty in a glass too :) Food-wise we asked for recs and they mentioned to get the carne asada. So we ordered street style tacos and the quesadilla suiza (both with carne asada). Comforting, delicious, and packed with juicy flavor. I also heard their signature queso dip is delicious (peep the Queso Fundido with Oacaxa cheese and Wagyu Beef Chorizo) as well as the Southwest Salad to share. Most recently someone asked me where they could grab a California Burrito and surprise, Todos is also your place for that! Next to the restaurant/bar, they also have a grab & go which was really hoppin' while we were there. There's a kids menu and something cool on the dessert menu for my Oakland peeps..a node to Gregory's desserts across the street with an item of theirs on the menu. Exterior seating as well. I would love to come back on a weekend, happy hour, or just to try more items from the menu. The burrito bowl is calling my name! Quick and friendly service, yummy food, fair pricing, awesome vibe. Perfect spot to also watch a game.

    mango margarita
    Diane L.

    This is one of my favorite local spots. We ordered mango margaritas, quesabirria tacos, 3 flautas, a side of rice and refried black beans and churros for dessert. The servers were friendly and helpful. All of the food was served fresh and was really good.

    Perhaps it's an unfair comparison, but my immediate reaction when I entered the spacious premises was "Oh, it's Chevy's". That's not necessarily a bad thing as that was likely my introduction to Mexican cuisine way back when. Jamie W and I were taking a stroll around Lake Merritt when I recalled reading an online article about Nolberto Martinez, Jr., the general manager who gained a local following for his housemade menudo and pozole at his previous restaurant. Menudo sounded great. It was Sunday, so I thought for sure, they'd be serving it, and if not, certainly pozole. It just wasn't my day because it turned out they didn't prepare either soup. Bummer. Well, we stuck around and tried three of their other dishes. Jamie ordered the $14.95 Chicken Burrito Bowl, a by-the-numbers mix of pollo asado, Spanish rice, refried black beans, sour cream, pico de gallo, and guacamole (Photo 9). He deemed it pretty good. Still in the shadow cast by the absent menudo, I went for the $13.95 Chicken Tortilla Soup, a bowl of chicken soup with a base of tomatoes and onions and topped with jack cheese, avocado, lime, and of course, tortilla strips (Photo 7). Perhaps it was the way it was blended but the overall flavor was a bit in the bland side. I preferred my other order, the $20.95 Caesar Salad with Carnitas. It was simply made with romaine and kale were mixed with Caesar dressing. Parmesan, diced avocado, and croutons were tossed in, and a good-sized serving of shredded pork was placed on top (Photo 8). For me, this was a nice mix of flavors I wasn't expecting I'd like but I did with the carnitas lending the salad a smoky flavor. I'd definitely come back for that and hopefully there will be Norberto's menudo to savor on the next visit. I can only hope...or I can just call. OK, maybe it's not really a Chevy's knock-off. FOOD - 3 stars...the chicken dishes were predictably decent enough, but the carnitas really enhanced the salad AMBIANCE - 4 stars...got a booth, so we had plenty of elbow room and a good purview of the surrounding art SERVICE - 3 stars...no menudo? no pozole? TOTAL - 3 stars...I'd give it another try to see the possibilities RELATED - Exploring Oakland? Here's my collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2ObVcpQKASF

    There was a DoorDash promotion if you were dining in, so we just came here and tried it out. I had the ceviche and street tacos, but the ceviche seemed a bit too soupy, and it only came with shrimp. The tacos are mediocre, it's just ok.

    ceviche and chips
    Jeron W.

    We found out about Todos from a Doordash promotion that was dine-in. Parking was difficult to find on a Friday evening, but the restaurant had open tables, which was great news. I decided to try the ceviche which seems to be new on their menu. Personally, I was not a huge fan of the ceviche. My standard for ceviche might be quite high as I've had ceviche from Canta Rana in Lima Peru, but this was such a far cry. It was mostly shrimp and a little too soupy. The chips were just alright as well.

    (3) STREET TACO - carnitas
    Eden C.

    street tacos (carnitas) -- used doordash dining out to get discounts! these tacos were solid but nothing spectacular (i live in the mission...). single tortillas but came with a solid portion of carnitas inside, along with some pickled carrots, jalapenos, and peppers. i really enjoyed their salsas, especially the roasted / smoky one!

    (3) STREET TACO - Carne Asada
    Tara M.

    Delicious food, excellent service, beautiful atmosphere, and incredible music. I love it here. The Quesabirria was delicious, perfectly cooked meat with excellent flavor. Chips and salsa were a great appetizer. The Mango Margarita was flavorful. Just a great place to eat, drink, and hang out with friends or family.

Actual proof is very refreshing with a nice citrus flavor! It seemed to be a popular drink since other folks also ordered it. Moonglow has a lot of complexity to it, and it's concentrated (no ice). Lucky spring was very citrus forward with some bitter notes, but we couldn't taste the guava. We also got free pretzels to munch on!

Tallboy's martini menu is well-executed. While I didn't personally try one of the slushies, a friend ordered the espresso martini version and gave it a solid thumbs-up. Unfortunately, the experience falls apart when it comes to food and service. Waiting 30+ minutes for two hot dogs (after paying) is hard to justify. When I checked in with a server, she was curt and dismissive. She was quick to explain there was only one person in the kitchen, with no effort to offer a solution, timeline, or even basic courtesy. I understand staffing issues happen. However, customer service is a close second to concept. How an issue is communicated and addressed is what separates good service from bad. What's more frustrating is that these aren't customer problems to absorb. If the kitchen is understaffed, if tables aren't being cleared in a timely manner at a seat-yourself spot, those are management problems. Guests should not have to choose to leave without the food we paid for. There's a lot of competition out there, and concepts alone aren't enough to bring people back. I genuinely wanted that hot dog. That's probably the most disappointing part of the whole experience. Great drinks, solid ambiance, but the service needs serious attention.

    This is a very cozy and intimate space. My friend and I ventured into 51 & Tel while waiting on our…read morereservation next door at Pizzaiolo. We only stayed for about 15 mins, but we had a wonderful time. The bartender Danny was very hospitable and made me a very yummy tasting mocktail called Like The Sun that had Aplos Arise, Lyre's Italian Orange, passionfruit, lime. He said that they had an event going on that night and suggested that we try to attend if we had time. We did not attend the event, however I can only imagine that the event was successful. They have a patio, great lighting, a dj booth, and great drinks. I also found out that the bar is in relation to Asmara which is the Ethiopian restaurant next door. Asmara has been there for 40 years. Please check this bar out if you're in the Temescal region. Update: I stopped in during Happy Hour and had a slushie cocktail called Kiwi To My Heart. It was delicious. I enjoyed the patio area this time around with the nice weather.

And, the intoxicating smell from Sonny's BBQ had me salivating. Opening in September 2024, 51 & Tel is a cocktail bar from the sons of Asmara (Ethiopian resto) next door. I found 51 & Tel on Yelp while looking for a pre-dinner drank place. I'm not familiar with the bar scene in The Town but I'm surprised they have so little reviews. M E N U Craft signature cocktails are $14-$17. Beer and shot for $10. Mocktails are $13. HH specials on Friday, 5 pm - 7 pm. Rotating food pop-ups from other local businesses (the plates from Sonny's BBQ looked bomb but were going to dinner afterwards). Ethiopian food from Asmara next door is also available. CC's only. No cash accepted. D R I N K S * Golden Girl: Vodka w/ lemongrass, hay liqueur, aloe, lemon, orange, oregano ($16) Refreshing and stiff with citrusy flavors, not too sweet. Fav of the two cocktails I tried. I think Blanche would approve. * Fuego: Tequila w/ mezcal, watermelon, italicus, habanero, citrus, mint ($15) Nice twist on a margarita, the sweetness of the watermelon balances the kick from habanero. * Fortaleza Blanco on the rock ($18) I was happy to see them carry my go-to tequila since there's a significant shortage. S E R V I C E Welcoming, friendly bartenders. A M B I A N C E Gorgeous murals inside and out in the patio with a mix of high tops and regular tables. There's TVs inside for watching the game. Clean restrooms. P A R K I N G Metered street parking. We took a risk and parked at the plaza across the street. Overall, we enjoyed our time at 51 & Tel and if I lived closer, this would be my weekly go-to!

The vibe is very relaxed. A great place for a mental break. Gabriel the bartender greeted me warmly. The music was good. Vinyl selection is The wine selection is exemplary. I had enough time for lunch and opted for the Cheese sandwich ( I do not recall the menu name) upon Gabriel's recommendation. I was not disappointed. Warm beef with melted cheese and accompaniments on a sandwich roll. It was reminiscent of my youth when my friends mother would make lunch for us. It was just sloppy enough to make it delicious without it splattered on my shirt. My new go to spot for a mental break and smiles.

There is a warmth and comfortability that sweps you in as soon as you enter. Staff is so warm and friendly. They have some kick ass cocktails and also non alcoholic drinks which is great for those who want to keep it light. The vibes are very cool and chill type scene. I loved spending time here. I need to return for a girls date night or friends get to gather to experience the full night scene. Bathrooms are clean and very psychedelic scene with the lights effect :) If you want to experience something different that is comfortable and relaxed while having some lovely drinks and listening to sick beats then this is the place for you. Its location is super convenient right by downtown very close to bart and bus if you fancy public transportation:) Love couchdate and can't wait to be back for more Love
