El Torero — Restaurant in Oakland

Vegetarian burrito here was at the bottom of the taste scale we have experienced so far: All ingredients tasted at least day-old, the lettuce was yellow and dry, rice-beans-cheese were mushed together beyond recognition, and the salsa was way too spicy (we had asked for something mild, like pico de gallo). In addition, they had no black beans, just pinto or refried, and my son ended up with stomach cramps all evening. Minor irritants were that it took comparatively long for the burrito to be done (especially since no other guests were waiting to be served at the time); the outdoor table at which we waited was sticky with food leftovers (the server had cleaned other customers' table earlier - why not this one?); the burrito then arrived so piping hot that we had to take it home instead of eating it on the spot; and it was way overpriced, at $14 for a blech basic burrito and a small agua fresca.

I love the outside dining area, you'll be sure to see something interesting right at that crossing of International...

Best carne asada and lengua (tongue) burritos in the whole east bay. Lengua is not easy to make but Beatrice knows how to perfect it. I’ve been coming here since I was 13 which is 19 years in 2025. I remember when the burritos were 5 bucks! The recipe has never changed. They also have the best green hot sauce that go great with the burrito. They also have really good menudo. The ribs plate with red sauce is also one of my favorites. I’d say everything on the menu won’t disappoint. She makes everything homemade, even...
