Xolo Taqueria Oakland Reviews
Absolutely amazing tacos! Some of my favorite in Oakland. They have a selection of drinks and beer. The restaurant itself is very large although during COVID there is only a small amount of outdoor seating.
Went for tacos. Got crispy and lived them. Highly recommend! Enjoy!
Xolo has been one of my favorite go-to places for tacos and burritos in the Bay Area for 6+ years. The covered patio out through the back is great to relax. The machaca burrito is to die for. Very fast service!
To be honest, the food here is truly exceptional. However, the issue lies with the elderly woman who appears to be the owner. While she may know what she’s doing, her constant interference during our order can be quite annoying. It’s important to let your employees work independently and focus on their tasks, as it saves time and ensures better service. .
Awesome place and their desire to put out a good product is on point. Had 2 tacos ... worth the money. Great place for eats before a show or whenever you are in the area. Get a churro to top of the meal for sure.
Excellent food. I had a Chile Verde burrito, a flour quesadilla, chips & guacamole, and a salad. All the ingredients were very flavorful and obviously fresh and high quality. I also had a strawberry aqua fresca that was especially tasty. All of the staff at Xolo were very friendly and accommodating. I had been wanting to come here for years and now I very much regret not making the effort sooner... But, now I know for myself how good it is and I look forward to many more visits in the future. Parking can be tricky and definitely do not leave anything of value in your car, at least not visible.
I was craving a breakfast burrito and wanted to try a new spot. I've been here before but I never tried their breakfast burritos. I'm always greeted with positive energy when I enter this place. The serving portion sizes are large and the food is always tasty. If you can find parking, you definitely want to consider stopping here for breakfast.
I went back a two days after my first visit...great tacos!! The prices are fantastic and the tacos are stuffed. My order was quick coming out and the staff were friendly and helpful. Good vegan & gf options (hongos tacos!). Sitting upstairs offers a great view of Telegraph, but if it's a hot day be prepared to be a little hotter up there. The back patio seating is chill and a great place to sit and talk. Definitely recommend!
The machaca taco was delicious and very savory. The vegetarian mushroom taco, however, left me uncertain about my appreciation for mushrooms. I didn’t particularly enjoy the variety chosen as the main protein. As an observation, the chef might consider introducing additional mushroom varieties to the menu to find one that better balances with the taco’s toppings.
Tacos looked small. Thats two plates of tacos in pic. The trick is to use the extra tortilla and split them into two, then they seemed big enough :). Skip the chips (chips are oily) and the green (tomatillo) salsa. Both are tasteless. The red salsa is good. The tortilla soup was supposedly very good. Wish they had a vegetarian version of it! 3 stars for the food and 1 star for the name coz i love Xolo dogs :)
I have been to Xolo a few times, they have a really good menu and plenty of options if you are coming with a friend who may have different eating preferences. My only thing is the burritos are not as big as I would like them to be, and they do not have a salsa bar and charge extra for salsa on the side with your food. Other than that I would give this place a five star review, because I love the decorations of the place and they have really high ceilings and have seating upstairs and outdoor seating.
Great location across the theater and good range of choices but my all pastor tacos were just ok, nothing to write home about. The back patio is nice but the common room is just ok. What I didn't like is that they serve you super fast because they seem to have everything precooked and they just warm it up. of course I don't expect Mexican food to be made from scratch but I can tell when it's just too fast which means my ingredients will be bland. And they were.
When this place first opened it was delicious. Now it's just sad and gross and filthy. Ordered for nostalgia sake and they served me the wrong thing and got angry when I asked for a refund.
They got a nice outside area but thats really it. The girl that took our orders was rude and had no type of customer service. Looked like she didnt want to be there. Food was very mid at best. Asada taco was ok. Fish taco was terrible. Had no flavor, no crisp, just soggy. The sauce on the fish taco was good but everything else was not. Dont recommend this place.
