I have live around the corner from this sport for a year, and everyone has told me it is a dump. Today I tried it for the first time. My boyfriend bought me 3 of their tacos, I asked for pork, but then he came back with 3 massive greasy leaky monster tacos, and said they didn’t have pork, and ordered chicken instead. The things cost about $ 4 each! Way too much for any taco. I guess they justify the price by loading it with a bunch of disgusting crap you would never want on any respectable street taco, like shredded lettuce, hella sour cream and cheese. They don’t even have radishes, limes, or pickled carrots. I couldn’t finish even one of those monsters. I tried to pass one off to my roommate, and it’s still sitting on the kitchen counter, untouched. I don’t blame him, my stomach is not feeling well now.
The only restaurant I have been to that blatantly advertises, «NO REFUNDS» Go figure.

Filthiest taqueria I’ve ever been to. Smelled like a bathroom that hadn’t been cleaned in forever. Burrito was served cold.

I used to love their tacos. But the last two times I’ve gone, the workers have been rude and the meat has been greasy.
More than that, I spied a roach spray on the table in behind the window. When I mentioned it, the guy became irritable as if I was wrong to see it.
Ok, you’re rude, greasy and you gave roaches? I’m not that desperate for a meal!

Dammit — just when I found a good play to get fish… I got the sole and it was brick hard — which means it was probably old and recooked. MAKE SURE you ask them for fresh fish when ordering by phone.

lol. I love that this place has very low reviews. And i can see why. I would not want to spend extended periods of time in here either. But the fried fish and shrimp are soo good!!! Also it is pricey, but worth it. The seasonings are great and it is always hot. I never had the burritos but i do enjoy it.
It’s one of those places were «it is what it is» and you just have to enjoy it as such.

Let me start by saying this place is filthy. I’ve found many wonderful burritos in less than appealing hole-​in-​the-​wall Taquerias So I figured I would at least give it a shot. Nope.
The interior is not only dingy but also has the faint smell of vomit. The menu consists of Mexican and soul food, and the front of the house is operated by an Asian woman which is just a little culturally disjointed for a Taqueria.
Now, I could forgive all of this if it weren’t for one thing, and one thing alone. The burrito was not good. It had shredded lettuce in it for Pete’s sake!
Moral of the story: just because it’s where the locals go does not mean it’s the best burrito. I wish I had better news to report.

i was introduced this place by my boyfriend, he a always brag til one day we went there i stay in Vallejo and a go all the way out there for there food this place is the shit, its convenient down the street from Bart ect… not in a bad area either, there service is right on point it may take a min, but they try to make your food good as possible, my persona favorite is the shrimp burrito, there shrimps are HUGE, every bite you take is gonna have a shrimp. i haven’t try anything else, but my boyfriend tryd the shrimp/​steak burrito that muthafu**a was H.U.G.E, they have like 2 or 3 tables you can eat there, take out is more better. they prices are reasonable because they food portions are big its worth your money, time, everything well done i love this place.

I was introduced to this Restaurant while I was in the mood for some fried fish. The location is not very good, I wouldn’t go their at night, I always call ahead and order to go. I ordered fish and chips, I had Red Snapper, fries, and bread. They have a variety of fish compared with other places that I have been to that only had catfish. I also tried the shrimp and prawns, very good. Lightly battered and seasoned. I didn’t care for the thick cut fries and I taught the hot sauce could have been hotter for my taste. Overhaul, I went for the fish and shrimp which were delicious. They have a variety of fried seafood on their menu, the burritos are gigantic. Another plus for me is that they make the food as per order, so it’s not sitting under a lamp all day.

WHY AM I HERE?!? This place is filthy… but I’m hungry. I want a burrito. Did I mention this place is filthy? I ordered a burrito. My mistake. Should have stuck with the fried fish.

this las palmas is located in the Macarthur strip known for prostitution years ago. now san pablo a blocks over is the place to go. i don’t have facts nor lst hand experience about this so i can’t Unilocal about it. i read it in the papers/​saw it on the telly.
menu: super burritos, tacos, fried seafood.
eats: sole (medium) fillets w/​potato salad (10.75)
–potato salad, small pieces, refrigerated. obviously the commercial store bought kind
–8ish pieces sole, thin, overbreaded with corn meal, dry,.
fish notes:
–charlies’ las palmas has fresh fish/​potato salad, not here.
–burrito ingredients all premade except for protein,
–burritos huge and pricey.
–food made to order
–pleasant customer p.r.
–limited inside seating, didn’t remember seeing any chairs.

Whoa man… It used to be a treat for me to get anything from here but it seems the quality has gone down just in terms of burritos here! Just had one this past Thursday and I was highly disappointed! It was a dark, chilly night and I wanted a burrito to fill me up before a late rehearsal. Got one, took a bite… umm, not bad. I was hungry. The more bites I took it seems the worse it tasted. No satisfaction whatsoever! (Had some left over and it’s still sitting in the fridge about to get tossed out!)
There was way more tortilla wrap than necessary, it was chewy, the rice was tasteless, the refried beans weren’t good nor hot, and I don’t know why the jalapenos didn’t begin til half way down and nearly all in one spot! Granted this was a veggie burrito w/​out cheese or sour cream but UGH! I still had the same thing here before and other places, it tasted much better.
My advice: don’t ever get that one, I know I won’t do it ever again! The fish tacos, meat burritos and seafood I’ve had in the past was always pretty good though.

I F’N LOVE this place nacho’s so heavy it feels like you holding a new born baby!!! then they have the surf and turf nacho’s and burrito (thats BIG as a new born baby) with carniasada and skrimp (yeah my ghetto ass said skrimp!!!) that smish is da bomb diggity!!! now for they flag ship dish… fried seafood (red snapper, oysters, skrimp and catfish) cant go wrong cuz a small gives you enough for 2 people!!! this place is in the GHETTOEST spots of Oakland 68^th and e14th st!!! yeah thats right HOOD but GOOD!!!

Alicia V.‘s review pretty much tells you everything you need to know («Hood, but good!»). So I’ll tell you some things you probably don’t NEED to know but might be mildly curious about.
First off, it’s sort of two restaurants in one: a skanky Mission-​style taqueria and a skanky Oakland style fried fish place.
They have a tiny TV hooked up to an even tinier Latin American satellite dish* and the heavy duty counter to ceiling Plexiglas should have your spidey sense on full red alert.
The two older black ladies waiting for their orders, having tried everything on the menu, gave me the 4−1−1:
–fish and shrimps good but cooked «a lot»
–oysters pretty questionable and sometimes dirty but «I don’t really like um fried myself»
–gumbo varies but is pretty spicy and has no crab in it but pretty much everything else and «pretty good»
In exchange I explained to them what the special written on a brown paper bag with a marker and taped to the glass was.
Bolgogi is, in fact, not some vegetarian thing but a type of Korean marinade/​preparation for meat. In this case I assumed they meant beef (and it turned out I was right). I explained that it was grilled beef cut thin with a spicy marinade of crushed chilis and other Korean spices on it and they should give it a try sometime.
OK, two burritos (just Super kids, if you’re not ready for Super shag your ass over to the Taco Bell in the mall) for $ 7.75 each steak and bolgogi beef. These things are huge and almost spherical. Seriously about the size of a cantaloupe and good. I like that they include lettuce by default. Good solid food globes that are definitely two meals unless you’re high and/​or huge or have a tapeworm.
Will go back to try the various fried fish but only in the day time. Like that they have french fries (gives it a ghetto Del Taco vibe).
*This itty bitty dish (seriously the size of a Girl Drink umbrella) seems to pull in a wide assortment of channels dedicated solely to Novellas, masked wrestling, and awesomely dubbed American movies and cop shows from the 70’s and 80’s. I admit to being highly intrigued and bemused by this.

Hood, but good!
