El Paisa Taqueria Mexicana

For those craving delicious Mexican fare, head to El Paisa in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood. This casual family-run restaurant features a wide variety of savory dishes. Be sure to try their tacos, which come topped with grilled onion, jalapeno and cactus. The burritos are an excellent choice as well; be prepared though, as they are quite massive. Wash it all down with a homemade agua fresca!
