I have been waiting for this place to open for months. We would often go to the location in Albany. This location is walking distance from from my apartment on Claremont.

Tacos were decent but nothing special. Prices are outrageous, even for the area. I spent $40 and left hungry.

I’ve been to 5 Tacos & Beers in Oakland for dinner amd brunch so many times. Always had a great experience. Food is very good (and fast!). Service is friendly and efficient. I love their brunch. I’ve had the huevos rancheros, machaca, etc. The black beans and homemade tortillas are to die for!
