El Sazón Oakland

Tried a few things on the menu and all were delicious! Cleared the tray because everything was so fresh and tasted authentically Mexican. Can’t wait to go back.

Delicious vegan tacos and snacks. Mushroom chicharrónes and elote were awesome. Inside the Emeryville Public Market.

The elote was incredible!!

I wholeheartedly recommend Alma y Sazon for both catering and personal dining experiences! They provided a worthwhile and delicious vegan catering experience for my leadership event, as well as, provided a delicious solo dining experience. Their taco flight and agua frescas are pretty much life-changing with how delicious they are. Definitely worth a trip to Public Market to visit them!

Wow. Holy moly. I'm impressed. I've walked past this place at least a dozen times and never ordered. Today I took the leap and could not have been happier. The vegetarian, mushroom carnitas were amazing. The del Mar mushroom tacos were also fantastic. Chips and salsa exceeded expectations. Service was fantastic and the atmosphere at the public market is the public market. It's very noisy on a Tuesday with trivia, but there's always a comfortable clean place to sit and eat.

Fresh and full of flavor! I tried their taco sampler as I couldn’t make up my mind from the menu. Wasn’t disappointed. Each one carried a distinct flavor with freshness and spice. Still couldn’t decide which one I liked the best as each one was distinct. Will definately try again.

We were so interested in the menu that we ordered almost everything! Standouts were the del mar taco (battered and fried oyster mushroom) and the elote. Normally elote is way too heavy for me, but the vegan mayo was light and the corn was perfectly grilled. We thought a couple items could have used more salt, but we finished absolutely everything we ordered and were very satisfied.

Really delicious food served by wonderful people!! I love that they have so many gluten free options in addition to being vegan! The taco del mar is my favorite, and they make a tasty agua fresca too :) highly recommend for lunch and dinner!!

I love that this place is strictly vegan so I don’t need to worry about cross contamination with animal products. The food was tasty and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks ! I’ll be back to try the taco trio!

This little restaurant of perfection is located inside Public Market. I got the taquitos and taco Al pastor. Both were delicious. I can’t wait to come back with a bigger appetite!

So delicious!! You can feel the love put into the food! Definitely coming back!

Tried the jackfruit flautas, the mushroom carnitas tacos and the jackfruit al pastor tacos last night and I’m still thinking of them 24 hours later! Can’t wait to go back.

Delicious vegan Mexican food. Tastes like your Abuelita cooked it! Super delicious!!

Soo delicious!!! … sorry ate it so fast i forgot to take a picture… i’ll come back again and again and again

Food was decent but the portion sizes were small for the price. You need to order multiple entre's to satisfy your hunger. The food didn't come with any side salsa, sauces etc., They don't have a self serve salsa option either. The choice in the menu is limited, perhaps becausr they are still setting up 🤔

Food hall is great, staff are super kind, but food was in my opinion very under-seasoned and over oily.

Food was ok, nothing special. Green salsa was sweet, chunky (in a bad way), not flavorful. The torta was very small, think of a kid size meal. You'd think for $15 (no sides included) there would be a thick, even layer of "meat" or filling, but no. There was almost no filling nor toppings, just very very light. You'd think for having a smaller menu they'd focus better on their few entrees. I was wrong. I usually don't complain about service, but the front counter guy had a terrible attitude. He stood there and didn't care asking about my order. The whole interaction was awkward and lacking basic service. After I placed my order and paid, he didn't thank me or say anything, just walks Overall, food was not impressive, small quantities, and just overall a bad experience. There are other Mexican food places that are 50x better with the same pricing.

Worst Veggie Taco I have ever had in my life. First of all, the cashier was handling money and went to make the taco without washing her hands and none of us could even finish eating the tasteless taco, dry, and very spicy. I never give any bad reviews because I know how hard it is to run a restaurant but couldn’t help it this time.
