La Santa Torta — Restaurant in Oakland

While pretty good I feel it was way over priced for what it is. First off the price didn't match what it said online said 12 was 14. Secondly it was 3 dollars extra for the consume when it should come with it for 14. So 17 plus an horchata came out to 24 bucks. For 3 tacos??? Also consume wasn't very flavorful and watered down. Lemme put it into perspective the same thing in LA with the consume is 9 dollars and that was at a more expensive taco place in Silver lake off of sunset. The place I went to regularly I believe was 2.50 a birria taco. I don't know whether to blame the owners because they realize they can charge all these gentrifiers top dollar or if I should blame the gentrifiers for raising all the prices on everything. Seriously though please get out of the bay and go back to Ohio or wherever you...

Congratulations for getting your physical store!!

My visit was in Sept. 2020, on a super hot day. It was my first experience with birria tacos, and I loved it. I can see the Birria trend take off more in 2021.

The Birria ramen was not written on the menu, but I was pleasantly surprised when I was told they had it. To be honest, I recommend the birria tacos more. The crispy shell held together the fatty flavorful shredded meat and melted cheese. The ramen broth was a bit oily and not as flavorful, and the texture of the noodle was too soft. Also it was not ramen noodle, but rather Chinese egg noodle (lost chewiness from overcooking).

Tips:

1. Order online to avoid food selling out
2. Come early if you want to...

A little disappointed with my experience today. I’ll go here often and have always refer my work colleagues /family but the lack of empathy makes me second-guess it I’ll never come back. After waiting 40+ minutes for my order as a watch people after me eat their meals there were no apologies for my time being wasted just “oh the ticket didn’t print” with dead emotion. it’s disappointing. One of the main reasons I support was because how you looked out for your people and all the work you put in however let’s not forget and mistreat the ones who support you and help you get there no matter how small it may be it’s still support....
