Tasting TableNovember 15, 2014If 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 moreUpvoted Feb 4
Max KFebruary 27, 2015Great place to grab a bite before a show at The Fox. Delicious food and fast service.
Brian StraussOctober 6, 2015Love 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 PeppleAugust 19, 2019Vibe: 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.April 13, 2022Delicious, 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 WFebruary 14, 2015We tried the first 5 tacos on the menu, all were good, the shrimp taco was my favorite.
For burritos: Chile verde, machaca, or surf n’ turf. For tacos: vampiro, chicken or shrimp. Can’t go wrong.
Sam CoturriApril 16, 2013Eat the tacos. Any of them. It better yet, just order the complete set. Can't go wrong.
Melon LAugust 13, 2015Whatever you do, make sure you order the shrimp tacos. The vampiro taco comes with a crapton, almost too much, meat.
Mars BarFebruary 3, 2018Breakfast burrito is a solid choice. Wish they had a salsa bar. Breakfast options (other than the burrito) are not available all day.- 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!
Vampiro taco much better than camarones or chile verde. Chips good but salsa uninspired (or likely even homemade).
Kendal CockrelAugust 15, 2018Great place to grab a meal and rest up before or after a show at the Fox across the street. Mix and match the tacos.
- Any of the tacos are your friends. The breakfast burrito is delicious, too. Even for…dare I say…LUNCH!
Léa HnrtOctober 12, 2016Not a lot of vegetarian/vegan options (only two different burritos and you can ask to remove cheese) but so good !!
You can order the shrimp taco with sauteed shrimp instead of fried. Still delish!
Ellen McGrodyDecember 23, 2015I had a vampiro taco and a pollo taco and they were both pretty outstanding. I'll be back!
When looking at their amazing menu, you might skip the camarones tacos. DO NOT DO THIS. THEY ARE AMAZEBALLS.- 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.
ask for árbol and orange habanero sauce at the register... so tasty.
Jill NicholsonJune 1, 2016I 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.- Love the Danger Dog! Pollo Taco or Burrito is wonderful, the Vampiro taco is like wow and the Surf & Turf is a home run!
Katie MillerAugust 18, 2015The chicken tacos with the pineapple salsa was insanely good. Sometimes I dream about it.
Ann MontgomeryJanuary 13, 2013Not 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.
Brendan CurranOctober 19, 2019Tacos are uninspired. Carnitas are dry, and the cheese looks like it came out of a bag from the grocery store.
jennifer dMay 6, 2012Perfect place for a quick bite before a concert at either the Fox or Paramount theatre!
Christian BakerApril 12, 2016More inspired options for vegetarians than beans and cheese. Bless'em for that.
Phillip ChinMay 14, 2011Their big ranch burrito was really good. Nice slightly crispy pieces of flavorful pork.
Cory GowanApril 24, 2011Delicious, but not exactly taqueria-cheap prices. Love the upstairs and outdoor seating.
They are open late-ish ( for Oakland) and even have a vegetarian Pozole
Mark McGregorOctober 29, 2011Enjoy a cold Victoria and a fistful of tacos out on the secret patio in the back.
