Tasting Table

If you're in the mood for a quick snack , head to Xolo. The Vampiro tacos ($3 each) make a great, quick snack ... and they're served in a fried-cheese tortilla . Yum. Read more

Great place to grab a bite before a show at The Fox. Delicious food and fast service .

Brian Strauss

Love the salad and chicken tortilla soup borrowed from sister restaurant Tacubaya. The real strength of this menu are the killer tacos . All are good, but I loved the crispy beef and the Vampiro.

Steve Pepple

Vibe: Friendly , Colorful, PopularTips: Get the mushroom and chile verde ???? , all-day breakfast ???? , or churros . Sit out back on their patio , which has a perfect amount of shade.

Greg B.

Delicious, authentic tacos and burritos of all flavors served at your table or carry out without delay. No frills atmosphere and reasonable prices as to the charm of this long standing Uptown gem.

Cameron W

We tried the first 5 tacos on the menu, all were good, the shrimp taco was my favorite.

Kendal Cockrel

Great place to grab a meal and rest up before or after a show at the Fox across the street. Mix and match the tacos .

Mars Bar

Breakfast burrito is a solid choice. Wish they had a salsa bar . Breakfast options (other than the burrito ) are not available all day.

Andrew B.

For burritos : Chile verde , machaca, or surf n’ turf . For tacos : vampiro, chicken or shrimp . Can’t go wrong.

Sam Coturri

Eat the tacos . Any of them. It better yet, just order the complete set. Can't go wrong.

Melon L

Whatever you do, make sure you order the shrimp tacos . The vampiro taco comes with a crapton, almost too much, meat.

Grant Shellen

Any of the tacos are your friends. The breakfast burrito is delicious, too. Even for…dare I say…LUNCH!

joanne

the best taco at this location is the pollo . the chile verde is fantastic but its sauciness needs to be contained in a burrito . and if you get the hongos taco , grab a fork. hella mushrooms overflow!

Simon Willison

We ordered everything on the taco menu and the Dog. Did not regret it.

Ryan Stenson

Vampiro taco much better than camarones or chile verde . Chips good but salsa uninspired (or likely even homemade ).

Marlon E

Anything Mechaca, and the cantaloupe agua fresca is great.

Léa Hnrt

Not a lot of vegetarian/vegan options (only two different burritos and you can ask to remove cheese ) but so good !!

Ellen McGrody

I had a vampiro taco and a pollo taco and they were both pretty outstanding. I'll be back!

Alex Hagelis

Unreal tacos . The camarones are amazing!!

Erin Hegarty

Easily some of the best tacos I have had!

Diana M

You can order the shrimp taco with sauteed shrimp instead of fried. Still delish!

James Anthony

ask for árbol and orange habanero sauce at the register... so tasty.

joanne

the danger dog is approximately a million times better than the crappy bacon-wrapped hot dog from the cart outside the uptown. believe me. it's also a full meal.

Justin Keller

When looking at their amazing menu, you might skip the camarones tacos . DO NOT DO THIS. THEY ARE AMAZEBALLS.

Mike

Best surf & turf burrito I’ve ever had.

Matt Cline

One crispy beef taco , two impossible meat tacos

Katie Miller

The chicken tacos with the pineapple salsa was insanely good. Sometimes I dream about it.

Jill Nicholson

I got the chili rellano burrito . Our food came out in less then a minute. I knew then it wasn't fresh at all. I cut open my burrito and it was just black beans and a giant pool of grease. Didn't eat.

Jordan Holliday

The chili verde and the tortilla soup is so good!

Aneilia McDermott

food comes out FAST - you can barely make it to your seat.

Christian Baker

More inspired options for vegetarians than beans and cheese . Bless'em for that.

natalie kay

Anything with tomatillo

Tony Bowles

Love the Danger Dog ! Pollo Taco or Burrito is wonderful, the Vampiro taco is like wow and the Surf & Turf is a home run!

Roger M

The tortilla lime soup is amazing.

jennifer d

Perfect place for a quick bite before a concert at either the Fox or Paramount theatre !

Sarah

Mexican mocha is ????????

Brendan Curran

Tacos are uninspired. Carnitas are dry, and the cheese looks like it came out of a bag from the grocery store .

djs

Saaaaaltyytyy chilli Verde burrito without RICE !

Habitry Co

The chile verde burrito will make you question your life choices.

Ann Montgomery

Not as good as the taco place in Piedmont, Baja Taqueria . Camarones are only good if you love mayonnaise . Mushroom ones have way too much flavor.

Phillip Chin

Their big ranch burrito was really good. Nice slightly crispy pieces of flavorful pork .

Aneilia McDermott

Food comes out faster than you can sit down!

Jinah Choi

One word: shrimp taco .

Kevin Watkins

The Vampiro taco is soooo good!!!

mike lyons

Big ranch burrito . Fast service

Lil Mike

They are open late-ish ( for Oakland) and even have a vegetarian Pozole

Pete Marcus

Fantastic tacos !

Cory Gowan

Delicious, but not exactly taqueria-cheap prices. Love the upstairs and outdoor seating .

Ryan Block

Solid "mexican" for downtown.

Mark McGregor

Enjoy a cold Victoria and a fistful of tacos out on the secret patio in the back.
