Reviews for Taqueria El Paisa in Oakland, CA
AWESOME! The food is sooo good. Tacos were amazing, and the mini paisas were awesome too. Definitely try the horchata here.... Perfect balance of flavor and spices without being too sweet. Read more
All things considered. This place has amazing food. Good guac. In a sketch area. They have security at all times. So you're... safe. Crazy how much parking sucks here. Always full and hard to get one. But well worth it. I come here even though I'm an houraway after I moved. Read more
Good spot. Authentic, reminds me of taco spots in Mexico. They're not supposed to be fancy or anything, and this one has the... right amount of charm. The place you wanna come to when you're blasted and need a good bite or honestly just don't wanna cook athome. Read more

You have to go to Mexico to get any more legit than this place. It deserves its Bib Gourmand, despite being in a rough... neighborhood and not having the best ambience.

First time trying and everything hit the spot. The hot sauce ramped up in heat and all four had good flavor. The tacos were spot... on and the meat was excellent. The super quesadill and burrito required a 4-man party to properly consume but for the daringadventurer going in solo I guarantee you an experience like no other. Read more
