Tacos hechos
a la orden.
A no-frills Oakland taqueria slinging authentic Mexican street food since day one — pastor, carnitas, suadero, and a salsa bar that means business.
The neighborhood spot on International Blvd.
El Paisa isn't trying to be anything it's not. Meat on the plancha, tortillas hitting the griddle, a salsa bar stacked with cucumbers, radishes and salsas that go from bright to genuinely spicy.
Locals come for the al pastor and the lengua, stay for the aguas frescas, and leave with a torta wrapped in foil for later. Everything is made in front of you, fast and generous.
"Authentic and flavorful — the salsa bar is the real deal."
"Quick service, excellent food, good variety and tasty spicy sauces."
"Omg this place is the bomb — the tacos and quesadillas with meat are unreal."
"My favorite taco spot that's legit and offers a great selection of options."
