“ My friend and I drove out to East Oakland for lunch. I was in the mood for shrimp cocktail, and lo and behold, fhe shrimp cocktail at this location was delicious. However, it was Mexican style shrimp cocktail, which is full of fresh ingredients like tomato, cilantro lemon and chiles and very different from American style shrimp cocktail which only has ketchup, lemon and horseradish. The portions were good the service quick, it comes with yummy homemade tortilla chips. My only complaint is that it would be nice not to have disposabletableware and bowls. So I will probably go there again, but I'll bring my own picnic ware and take what they give me and put it into picnic style deeper dish. It wouldn't go on the flat plate. ”
“ Burrito lengua, meat was good, other things decent. Rice beans could use more taste or flavor smell. Gave 1 red salsa to go, could use another. ”
“ Asada and pollo tacos were on the smaller side, but the shrimp and octopus tostada was good! Would just come here for their seafood, and skip the tacos. ”
“ The food is delicious and well priced. Staff is always kind and respectful. I enjoy it a lot and recommend it to everyone ”
“ We always get the Campenchana and is always a winner ! Been going here for years and only thing that changed is the prices and after the pandemic, prices kept going up and up but the food stays the same ! Clean, fresh and the facility is clean. ”
