Tried this place for the first time. It was recommended by a local business owner.

Do not recommend this place at all, which is sad bc we used to like it here. We forgot to take a pic of a plate of pozole that was also ordered. It was too hot, watered down, and no taste. The burrito was asada and the meat was hard and not good, like it was meat that had sat there all day. The torta had too much of refried beans but was ok besides that. The enchiladas were covered in green sauce that looked good but wasn’t- it seemed watered down and I had to add the table salsa to give it flavor. Flautas were ok but a little burnt. The only tasty thing was the salsa they gave with the tortilla chips. We ordered them because they are not complimentary anymore and one has to ask for them. The very worst part was the gratuity fee added to the bill. We always tip when going to a restaurant, but to be told what we have to tip is wrong especially if the wait staff isn’t really waiting on you except for when they take the order and bring the food out. She came once after serving and seemed more interested in the noisy patrons at the other end of the restaurant, who were acting like it was a bar with all the yelling and drinking they were doing. When I asked about the fee, she said the owner said to add to tables of 6 or more. We were 6 with no children. I called Alameda Co. Commissioner ofc and was told restaurants are not supposed to put how much tip one should have to pay, but may suggest how much. This was not a suggestion at Otaez and I have my receipt to prove it. Will never suggest anyone to go to this establishment.

Great food, superb customer service, a full bar, and affordable pricing! The owner accommodated an area just for our family & friends to celebrate my niece’s graduation (who by the way got a full scholarship to U.C. Davis). Can’t thank you enough Otaez!!

The waitresses here are super rude and seem colorist. Will literally leave the phone off the hook to place your order I had to go down there and then was ignored by the waitress to order my food Hella rude and disrespectful. Don’t ever eat here until they fire those waitresses. I get it it’s a Mexican restaurant, but you don’t have to seem as if you only cater to Mexican people who only speak Spanish so mean smh

This is our fave go to breakfast Mexican restaurant. The Huevos Rancheros are superb, and the ambience is very colorful. If you’re luck, a wandering Mariachi singer might drop by and serenade.

Absolutely delicious! Otaez provided takeout catering for a party for 35. They took care to provide exactly what I asked for and everyone loved the food (fortunately there was a little leftover for me to take home to the family!). Everything was fresh, packaged with care and the prices reasonable. Highly recommend ordering from Soccoro and her team.

Very authentic Mexican food with a real feel for atmosphere. Really love that you can get things a la carte or enjoy a full meal which is what I did with a chicken and pork tamale. Yum!
