Always exceptional food from a place that cooks their food with a different flair and a from region other than traditional Taquerias. Consistently has quality food with fresh ingredients, friendly staff, fast service and honestly the burritos ARE the best in Alameda. Their ambiance is homey and clean..Please don't change!!
Been coming here for the last 20 years, the food is always good, and they have loyal workers who have been there forever ,but the prices are ridiculous. $17 for a super quesadilla?! C'mon I know I can get one easily for $12-13 somewhere else.
Any Mexican restaurant worth its mettle is going to have good rice and beans when you eat it alone, and this place passes that standard. I have had all of the meats here and the chile relleno several times as I have been going here for years. My go to is the #3 Enchilada with cheese and a horchata. Their chips and salsa are top-tier and fresh. The cooks and the cashier are always friendly and speak to me in Spanish, making me feel very welcome there even though I don't speak Spanish fluently. It is always very clean here even while the tornado of teens are eating and making a big mess. I even get food DoorDashed from here and it is always perfect. This is the only place I go to for enchiladas. I love this taqueria and am happy to spend my money here.
The burrito in this place are great. I love how late they open. So I can get my burrito fix late at night when other Mexicans restaurants closed. The price is fair for its value.
Still coming, food STILL good, customer service STILL amazing!! Thank you Island Taqueria :)
Huge portion and really tasty but the super burrito is like $17-18 bucks which is kinda steep. My boyfriend has gone back and ordered the non-super (no guacamole or sour cream) and it came out to like $13 which is more reasonable. Even though it's pretty big I don't think the super is worth the price.
The menu has the usual burritos, enchiladas, etc. I opted for 2 enchiladas, very tasty but a little spicy for my palette. Nice workers.
Totally authentic, homemade, handmade, fresh, tasty, plentiful, clean, friendly, homey. I loved the carnitas enchilada with green sauce!!!
