Opinions de Taqueria El Tio Juan Oakland
Amazing torta Cubana!! Simple, low-key taqueria. Very reasonable prices, down to earth service. If you want to fill your belly full of amazing torta, you can't go wrong here.
Fantastic food and nice service Highly recommended
If you are looking for the best Mexican food in Fruitvale, look no further! This family has been operating one of the highest quality food trucks in the area (of the same name) for over 20 years so it’s no surprise their new storefront is excellent as well. Their burritos are top notch - flavorful with the right balance of ingredients. Their tacos, tortas and sopes are very good as well. Every component is well made and never are any corners cut. Neither the beans nor the tortillas are made with lard. Fantastic homemade tortillas. Several available dishes are not listed on the menu at the moment, including enchiladas (three fillings), soups (pozole and caldo de res), and dinner plates (see photo). For dessert the serve Loard’s ice cream and also have both jugos and liquados. What more could you ask for?!

I love love thus spot. The food as iT should be. The flavors are traditional just like in Mexico but with out the airport, plane, immigration and taxi. Prices are just. All the meats are fresh and delicious. Everything at this place is on point. I wish it was not that far. I always stop by this place when I am on my way to burning man. A great place to start a great adventure.
Very good food at a reasonable price. Very nice family and comfortable casual interior. I would suggest painting the exterior to make it a bit more welcoming, but otherwise a great place.
This is an excellent choice! This restaurant truly shines. The food is not only delicious, but also creatively prepared. The flavors are vibrant and authentic, and the portions are generous. The service is also top-notch – friendly, attentive, and quick to accommodate your needs. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal or a special occasion.
A real pearl, discovered 3 weeks ago, already visited 2 times, I hope to stop working in Oakland a lunch time everyday, SEE YOU SOON GUYS
Same folks as the excellent truck of the same name. Incredible tacos, always perfectly crisply cooked meat and delicious salsas (tripas tacos especially good). Nice clean seating area for when you prefer to eat in.
Excellent food and friendly service. What more could you ask for?
Everything’s just right! I ordered a carne asada quesadilla, asked for custom version, everything came out perfect. Tortilla was perfectly crispy, with an almost croissant-like fluffy crispyness. Delicious carne, and perfect portion size. Red and green sauce were very very strong. Bonus carrots and veggies and whatnot. Lovely staff, nice and clean bathrooms, all-around excellent experience. Edit: I HAVE FOUND IT! Now two months later I can safely say this is it. I’ve been working at a school down the street for a couple months, and after trying many other restaurants in the area, there’s still no comparison. The best red and best green sauce, and the best chips, and carne asada quesadilla I’ve had in the bay area. No cap! And with maaaaaaybe one exception in SoCal, it’s better than any Mexican food ive had in California. Not even kidding; even in the three years I lived in San Diego. Or anywhere in California. Too Juan’s is unsurpassed. Pizza and crepes weep in the presence of their quesadilla. Sandwiches sog themselves and despair. Hot dogs turn cold. I am a happy cow, because now I dream in verde. Eureka!
Bruh... had a lengua burrito and it was bomb!! Their salsas are on point!! The avocado salsa hands down the best Ive ever had apart from my momma's!! And their chips, damn, sooooo gooood they are addicting! Big plus, they are super clean!
I came in it was very clean an organized, my kids loved the food and the salsa , not only is the food excellent but the customer service is great , we are so impressed , will definitely be returning. Great family bussiness .
Very friendly workers and yummy food. Cartoons are always on the TV and they serve you chips and salsa. Chips are always hot and toasty.
Food was great. Service was great. The only bad thing is the location.
I told them I was sad that they didn't have beer, but the tacos were delicious, half the price of San Francisco.
One of the best Taquerias in Fruitvale. That's just a difficult achievement to unlock. But it is everything they say it is ☺️☺️💯💯

I got food poisoning from this restaurant. It was the only thing I ate that day. I had a carne asada burrito and guacamole and the Horchata. Don't buy from here if you want food poisoning
