If you’re in Oakland, don’t miss El Tacostao! 🌮 The hand-made corn tortillas are incredible, and their al pastor and shrimp tacos are bursting with flavor. I was blown away by the tasty consome - definitely a must-try!

We enjoyed the casual atmosphere and friendly staff who made us feel right at home. Although my mom found the chicken taco a bit lacking, the beans were a hit!

With free parking and both indoor and outdoor seating, it’s the perfect spot for lunch or dinner. I’ll be back for those tortas next time! 😁
