Tacos El Gordo
Could be considered the best taco truck in Oakland, with fare that by far surpasses most restaurants. Their burritos are over 12" and unbeatable. Contrary to popular belief, taco trucks (especially this one) are sanitary and often have food as good or better than what one can find in standard restaurants. As there is no place to sit, people eat standing up next to the taco truck, or in their cars. There is a parking lot with free parking.

Mariscos La Costa
A small, outdoor patio restaurant that features seafood but has the regular fare of typical Mexican restaurants. Authentically spicy, so make sure you request no salsa or jalapeños if that is your preference. A former burger joint turned-taqueria, this eatery is good for lunch and best enjoyed in fair weather with a refreshing agua fresca, as tables are exclusively on the outdoor patio.

Wahpepah's Kitchen
Native American restaurant owned by a James Beard award finalist (2022) from the Kickapoo Nation, Crystal Wahpepah. The restaurant serves intertribal Native American cuisine, with dishes from the Kickapoo, Lakota, and Navajo nations, among others. There are several options for vegans on the menu.
