Update: The location changed just down San Pablo now nestled between two buildings. The lines will be better controlled and there's more seating now. All my favorites were still on point, though, the chorizo had a strange nutty taste I didn't care for. Also, the agua de fresa tasted fake and too sweet. Still my favorite place.
Original; All the cortes are delicious and full of flavor. My favorite thing to get is a mulita de cabeza con todo. With the handmade tortilla de maiz and cheese, I savored every bite.
To my surprise the quesabirria was the best I've had in all of Oakland! They don't advertise it on the menu, though I noticed a tiny sign with a picture of the consumé near the order window, and I took a chance. A few drops of lime made it explode with flavor. Worth it!
The al pastor tacos did not disappoint, as well as the asada. As other reviews mentioned, def don't skip out on the grilled onions and chiles. You ask for it while picking up the tacos; they are not at the salsa bar.

Read moreI was in Oaktown helping out Felter Upgood and his little stab, Tāksitt Indabüüt install a new self lubricating Synchronized Wobblyshaft in a new addition they had built onto their house, just for this apparatus.

Well, we were all finished and got the thing tuned to the factory setting, then backed it up to 2 degrees before top dead center because Tāksitt says "that's where Kim Kardashian has hers set to." Then all the sudden Felter grabs his keys and says lets go get some tacos at La Parilla Loca! Giving his little stab the nod of approval to do a test run while we were away. It was my first time at La Parilla Loca and I'll tell you....the Tacos de cabeza were Amazing! 5 stars all day...
