Avila’s Taqueria-to go

I love this place to pick up food to go. The owner is friendly and prices are decent. The place is a bit small if you want to eat in and parking is hard. I think they have the best burritos in San Lorenzo if you like that spicy kick. They are prepared with the salsa so burritos are ready to eat if you are on the run. I also like how they add cucumber with the carrots and jalapeños!

Great food ordered 4 tacos, and some steak fries. Tacos de Tripas and pastor were delicious. The only reason im rating a 4 star is because the steak fries had some chunks of fat. But like i said the tacos were great.

Always good when I come I tried all their specials but the hamburger one! Very good customer service and the guy who runs it is so nice and social! Their specials are good price too comes with a drink!
They do need a better parking lot

I am picky about my tacos and this place has the best & cheapest tacos in town… or at least in the East Bay.
They don’t serve beer but there’s a liquor store next door… just fyi.
u guys!!!

Their super carne asada burrito with no lettuce and the red taco sauce is amaze ballllllllllllsssss. The definition of hole in the wall. Also try any of their tacos as long as it’s got the red taco sauce. But be warned… It’s spicier than a mother trucker!

Great food and cheap prices. I just wish their spot was bigger and that they had a full bar. That would be amazing. I’ve only had their carne asada but everything looks amazing.

Best place to eat, Don Chuy gave everyone at the place a sample of his very chicken chow mein. Yummm. Love their enchiladas michoacanas.

Been going here since high school and it was my favorite. Came with my friends a bunch of times. Favorite foods are the burrito grande with Asada and the steak fries with nacho cheese. The steak fries are always good but don’t wait too long to eat it or else it will get soggy. Burritos is what made me keep coming here, they’re the perfect size to fill you up. Last of all, the service is friendly and polite.

I rarely give 1 star to any place but this place deserves it in my opinion. I’ve been here maybe 4 – 5 times, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt on the first several times I was here. First the tacos are ok nothing great, just the basic meat cilantro onion and salsa, the quesadilla taste like something my 6 yr old son can make at home but better, lastly the chicken burrito is the worse. I always get the super chicken burrito without beans. And the chicken is also so freakin salty! So salty that I can’t even bare to swallow it. Since we usually take it to go and don’t wanna drive all the way back over there I basically stayed hungry for dinner a few times. I thought maybe they messed up this time, but nope the few other times I order the super chicken burrito it was just as salty. The last time I was there I ordered like $ 40 worth of food for my family and I asked for extra hot sauce on the side. And the manager (older bald man) refused to give me hot sauce. Stating that he doesn’t want to make more until 5pm that day. Excuse me? I just ordered a crap load of food from you and you can’t give me hot sauce because your too lazy to make more at this time. WTF! I usually don’t get upset but I made it clear to him that I will never return to his place of business again. And to top it off my burrito again was salty as shit.

One of the worst Taquerias ever. Cheap, greasy quality meat (Azada) I was in the area, so I decided to give it a try, and what a mistake did we make. Order, one Super de Carne Asada, tacos de pollo y de asada, suadero y TODO estaba de pesimo savor. Las quesadillas las tube que tirar a la basura. La idea buena, pero la comida pesima.

Edited my review for 5 stars. I came back and was happy to see no flies whatsoever. I’m thinking that was a fluke with such abnormally hot weather. Still delicious food :)

This is my go to place for TACOS!!! Jessie is such a good person, and he takes care of his customers. I literally have been there for lunch 10 times in the last month. The salsa roja is spicy! Very inexpensive.

LOVE THIS PLACE — The tacos are so good and if you don’t like spicy ask for the verde sauce! Jesse the owner… he is the nicest guy and always so happy! You can’t beat the price and quality of food! The tacos are great to order for events — We’ve ordered them for parties and everyone loved them! Very unique and authentic food! Enjoy!

I love their tacos and steak fries and all but service is pretty bad. I walked to the counter to order and I see 2 people cooking and the girl keeps looking at me but no one says anything. Then a good few minutes later the guy finally comes up to me and asks «Did you want to order something?» As if thats not why I’m there. I’ll come here just for food but if you want good service then forget about this place.

Ordered 32 tacos for 8 people, which took about 20 mins to make. I highly recommend the tripa tacos. Super tasty and flavorful. Tripe itself has no taste so the marinade they use must be good! I don’t think I would try anything else but the tacos. And I wish they were only $ 1 for taco Tuesday (hint, hint!)

Good spot for tacos when the taco stand is outside especially. Small place. Family run and real good food overall.

Small hole in the wall spot with great food. Not much room for dining in but food is cheap and service is quick. Avoid lunch time traffic due to the high school down the street and parking is tight with a one way entrance. Lots of regulars come in but once you get to know the owner you will be satisfied.

This place is nasty. My husband ordered me a nasty ass, salty carne asada, miniature frozen shrimp, tortilla burned ass quesadilla. It was so sloppy everything fell apart. I say this is the far worse quesadilla I’ve ever had in my whole entire life. I can’t believe I waited hours for my husband to come home for this. This should of been dog food. The quesadilla was so gross it ruined appetite…

Truly disgusting and possibly hazardous. Quesadilla was swimming in water from the lettuce the put inside, and the al pastor on the torta was riddled with cartilage and bits of organ meat.

I just came in for the taco special
Great tacos and with all the fixings
Quick service and friendly staff
