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 .
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.
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.
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.
We tried the first 5 tacos on the menu, all were good, the shrimp taco was my favorite.
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 .
Breakfast burrito is a solid choice. Wish they had a salsa bar . Breakfast options (other than the burrito ) are not available all day.
For burritos : Chile verde , machaca, or surf n’ turf . For tacos : vampiro, chicken or shrimp . Can’t go wrong.
Eat the tacos . Any of them. It better yet, just order the complete set. Can't go wrong.
Whatever you do, make sure you order the shrimp tacos . The vampiro taco comes with a crapton, almost too much, meat.
Any of the tacos are your friends. The breakfast burrito is delicious, too. Even for…dare I say…LUNCH!
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!
We ordered everything on the taco menu and the Dog. Did not regret it.
Vampiro taco much better than camarones or chile verde . Chips good but salsa uninspired (or likely even homemade ).
Anything Mechaca, and the cantaloupe agua fresca is great.
Not a lot of vegetarian/vegan options (only two different burritos and you can ask to remove cheese ) but so good !!
I had a vampiro taco and a pollo taco and they were both pretty outstanding. I'll be back!
Unreal tacos . The camarones are amazing!!
Easily some of the best tacos I have had!
You can order the shrimp taco with sauteed shrimp instead of fried. Still delish!
ask for árbol and orange habanero sauce at the register... so tasty.
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.
When looking at their amazing menu, you might skip the camarones tacos . DO NOT DO THIS. THEY ARE AMAZEBALLS.
Best surf & turf burrito I’ve ever had.
One crispy beef taco , two impossible meat tacos
The chicken tacos with the pineapple salsa was insanely good. Sometimes I dream about it.
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.
The chili verde and the tortilla soup is so good!
food comes out FAST - you can barely make it to your seat.
More inspired options for vegetarians than beans and cheese . Bless'em for that.
Anything with tomatillo
Love the Danger Dog ! Pollo Taco or Burrito is wonderful, the Vampiro taco is like wow and the Surf & Turf is a home run!
The tortilla lime soup is amazing.
Perfect place for a quick bite before a concert at either the Fox or Paramount theatre !
Mexican mocha is ????????
Tacos are uninspired. Carnitas are dry, and the cheese looks like it came out of a bag from the grocery store .
Saaaaaltyytyy chilli Verde burrito without RICE !
The chile verde burrito will make you question your life choices.
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.
Their big ranch burrito was really good. Nice slightly crispy pieces of flavorful pork .
Food comes out faster than you can sit down!
One word: shrimp taco .
The Vampiro taco is soooo good!!!
Big ranch burrito . Fast service
They are open late-ish ( for Oakland) and even have a vegetarian Pozole
Fantastic tacos !
Delicious, but not exactly taqueria-cheap prices. Love the upstairs and outdoor seating .
Solid "mexican" for downtown.
Enjoy a cold Victoria and a fistful of tacos out on the secret patio in the back.
Really nice place. Great service but parking is extremely limited. If you go after 6pm parking is free. - SooFab
Beautiful concert venue. Easy to access. Great food. Try the grilled cheese in the Den! - Michael Davidson
The greyhound is one of the best I've ever had. Fresh squeezed and refreshing, but strong as $&@! - Melon L
Lovely architecture, great landmark in Oakland and good place for a concert. - _
