Taqueria El Tio Juan — Restaurant in Oakland

Everything’s just right! I ordered a carne asada quesadilla, asked for custom version, everything came out perfect. Tortilla was perfectly crispy, with an almost croissant-like fluffy crispyness. Delicious carne, and perfect portion size. Red and green sauce were very very strong. Bonus carrots and veggies and whatnot. Lovely staff, nice and clean bathrooms, all-around excellent experience.

Several available dishes are not listed on the menu at the moment, including enchiladas (three fillings), soups (pozole and caldo de res), and dinner plates (see photo).

For dessert the serve Loard’s ice cream and also have both jugos and liquados. What more could...
