We were looking for something fast and easy and in the way to Oakland airport. This place was about 5 minutes from Oakland airport. Basically you order you food and has outside seating but with overhead roofing. Very comfortable and you can feel the fresh air. Free parking lot which is a big plus. The food was amazing! It tasted very authentic Mexican Food. Big servings for a small price!

Really good spot for quick Mexican food . As others have said the Aguachile is not agua chile . Just a cóctel with a sprinkle or red pepper . Also the shrimp is not cooked in lime like I’d hoped

Great taco joint in Oakland. It has a walk up window to order with seating all over. They have both nest and seafood options and I love the Ceviche de Cameron and Al Pastor tacos. Service is pretty quick and parking can be tough at peak times.

this is the best sea food restaurant I have been in the Bay Area. The price is good and the food is delicious. My recommendation “campechana” with extra oyster if you are a lover of the oysters. The service is amazing fast and kind!

I come here mostly for the seafood ceviches, they taste great and are reasonably priced. The tacos are also very good and so are the burritos, seafood or other meats, especially the carnitas. It's a casual place. It probably was a fast food joint from the past, it's like a drive-in. You sit outdoors. It's usually busy during lunch. Other times you should have no problem getting a table. There are lots of parking in the parking lot.
