Chill atmosphere, clean spot, good for small groups. Simple mexican food menu with ~6-7 beers on tap, wine and classic cocktails. We ordered their nachos - saucy, generous meat portions, wish they'd sprinkle more cheese on there! The wings were the highlight. The bartender recommended the Spicy...Read More

Three tacos: Chicken? Great. Fish? Fantastic. Veggie? Surprisingly, also excellent. We got a pork burrito that was larger than a baby and that was great too. Can't go wrong here.

One of my favorite spots and is a weekly staple. I think it's both the best fried chicken and waffles, but also burritos in Oakland. I love how tart the berry lemonade ague Fresca is.

Literally the best burritos in the area. Fantastic. I feel like I shouldn't tell anyone about this place because I want them all for myself. The Horchata is addicting. The street tacos. Even the chicken sandwich. It's all too good. Delicious.
