La Mexicana - Oakland

Absolutely in love with this place! I've been here twice this month; Once with my family where we ordered a variety of items and I was amazed by how delicious every single plate was, I just had to come back! I recommend the Enchiladas, Menudo, and especially the quesadilla de maíz, they're amazing quality and a great choice for picky eaters as well. The owner is incredibly nice and has been the reason my family has come here for years. This month was the first time I came here since i was really young, and I can truly see myself sticking to this spot for a taste of home. Definitely worth a try!

If you know, you know... Everything I have tried on the menu is delicious! Mole, chile relleno, caldo, guac, salsas, steak, everything! I have been going to Emma's since 1998 (my partner's family since they opened!), and she always welcomes us as if we are walking home. You have to try those gorgeous handmade corn tortillas, I've never had any like them. Supporting local businesses is important as they are a pillar of our communities.

This restaurant serves genuine, traditional Mexican cuisine.

This Mexican restaurant in my neighborhood is one of my favorites. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the service is always friendly, helpful, and kind. I highly recommend paying a visit!

Wow, this place is STILL here 45 years later when I first came here. Surviving 45 years means something. I do like it better when the street was called East 14th Street though! House made tortillas and all your normal Mexican food stuffs are here.
