Tortas Ahogadas Mi Barrio Oakland Reviews
Great location tortas ahogadas are my favorite. They don’t put any spicy sauce so you can add it to your perfection.there service was great and the server was on top of all my kids needs 😂😂
The best spicy salsa if you want to eat Friday tacos and the delicious tortas ahogadas .. I definitely recommend this place
Try the Tortas ahogadas. They are Pork sandwiches drenched in a delicious broth topped with fresh onion slices. Beware of the red salsa on the table it is NOT your ordinary salsa. They also serve Potato tacos topped with onions.
The tortas are delicious a must-try little spicy but good.
Want some amazing authentic Mexican food??? This hidden gem is a must! Especially after a hangover! Had their tacos ahogados.... Delish!!

Really good tortas ahogadas and the tacos of papa and frijoles with carnitas on top delicious!! The food is very tastefull! Only downside is the guy that goes in and starts signing! Sometimes you just want to enjoy your meal peace and quiet!! Nothing against the guy! He just tryin to make a dollar! I will go back when he is not there!
Food was delicious. Torta was amazing. The bread was key, it didn't get soggy at all. The flavors were out of this world!! Was really reasonably priced. Area is not the best but is a must to try.
OMG! The best carnitas I’ve ever had was in this restaurant! I had the Carnitas Torta, which was served with this just sauce that was out of this world!! Oh, and the bread soaked it up, makes my mouth water just remembering it! I don’t speak Spanish and the staff didn’t speak English, but they were so nice and welcoming. (Thank you phone translation) Will be eating at this establishment regularly for lunch… I probably wouldn’t visit after dark, but it is an awesome place for lunch!! LoVE it!!
Best tortas ahogadas north of Jalisco. Eating The tortas and tacos takes you back and the atmosphere definitely adds to the nostalgia. If you’ve never experienced it in Guadalajara then this place is the next best thing. The owners are from Guadalajara and the taste shows it.
Delicious tortas ahogadas! Fast service. Very clean place. This was my second time here, and I've only had the tortas ahogadas. I Will come again!
This place is delicious. One of my favorite places to eat in Oakland. There's also a guy that sells homemade ice cream outside of this place from a pickup truck. They are not related but it's a nice treat after eating a torta.
Incredible and authentic tortas ahogadas. So glad to have a business that sells these in the US. Service was super fast and staff incredibly welcoming. Looking forward to becoming a regular here.
tried the Tortas Ahogadas and Tacos Dorados and it was delicious. The flavors were really good.The price was a little higher than expected. I would definitely come back again.
Wow! I can't believe I've never tried this place. I got a steak burrito for $15 which to me is an average burrito price. However, that burrito was anything but average. There's been a lot of skimping on the meat lately and the ingredients and overfilling with rice in Mexican food lately. This place makes burritos like I used to remember them. Mouthfuls of cheese and every bite, visible mountains of meat on both sides of the burrito every bite. This burrito was jam-packed full of meat and cheese and all the usual suspects. It's so great to see properly filled burrito in Oakland. This place definitely deserves more recognition just for that. And the service was great. Very fast to make the burrito about 5 minutes and the cashier was very kind.

Great customer service. They greeted us quickly right after they saw us. Gave me the menu and in less than 2 minutes, we had a little basket of chips in front of us with some traditional slasa. Only wish the salsa was a little spicier. My spouse and I ordered a torta ahogada to split and some crispy potato tacos for each to try. Both plates were pretty good, especially because of the spicy sauce. Now that's a spicy Mexican sauce. Only complaint I have is both lack a tiny bit of salt but overall it's a yummy authentic Mexican flavor restaurant.
I work in the area and so I stopped in for lunch. I don't speak much Spanish, but the person standing behind me in line translated. I ordered ribs with rice&refried black beans and papusas w/queso. The food was ready very fast and was super fresh and very tasty!! I will be going back very soon!!! I highly recommend giving this dive a try. You won't be disappointed.

I have visited this business regularly for the last few years, it went through a remodel and looks better than used to.. but sadly the quality is not th same. The salsa (which is escential for the torta ahogada) lacks the flavor that identifies this Mexican dish. Service was slow for the amount of working there and also waitresses could at least smile a little.

Well it was okay in service they got my order wrong but I cant blame them they had a full house the torta de carnitas was ehh...a. lot of meat bread hard and the sopes de tinga were wonderful the tacos dorados were a big hit in our family the carne asada was good the only improvment is to have the meat not so dry the camarones en la dablia were spicy also only 8 mini shrimps were serviced finally thought of all could you improvement just a little and it a hit with me
Ordered 2 horchata and 2 burritos, $38.15 !!!! When asked she said drinks are $5 but the menu said $3.50! Nowhere said large or small, a simple overcharge if you don’t pay attention, I called deceiving and cheating, too bad.

The customer service here is always hard to deal with. However on our most recent visit we were charged higher prices for everything than what was listed on the menu. Not a good business practice. You gained a few dollars on this one visit, and you lost the money from future visits.

It was my very first time coming to this restaurant. I ordered a plate of chillaquiles the price was on the menu for just $14.50 it did not include the meat, the eggs nor the sour cream, so it was an extra charge. when i was ready to pay the total came up to $42.50 I feel very robbed with this prices for just 1 plate.
