The food is so good and the staff is very friendly. Also the horchata should be illegal because it's the best I've ever had.

Ordered the super seafood burrito, fish tacos, and kids quesadilla. Everything was delicious. I mistakenly ordered a different taco than what I wanted and they cooked up what I meant to order for no extra charge. Great customer service.

Service - 4/5 Food - 5/5 Popped in here midday on Saturday and had a good experience. Quick service and good food. Ordered the carnitas torta and would 100% order this again. We also ordered the bean and cheese Pupusa and cheese and pork pupusa. Both were delicious but I preferred the simple bean and cheese one.

Secret gem in alameda for the best Mexican food. The place is really small like 4 tables, it's more a take out spot than a dine in spot, but the food there is insane. Also pro tip their green sauce is amazing get extra. Out of all the Mexican places I've tried, this one just gets everything right, it doesn't hurt that it's around the corner from me. Would recommend to anyone looking for traditional and flavorful Mexican food at no fuss. If ur looking to sit in an instagrammable restaurant this is not it tho.

Just want to express my LOVE of this place again! And love love love the new chicken Al pastor! Soooo good! I'm currently on a keto/low carb diet. My go-to's are the two super tacos with the chicken Al pastor. They load them up! I take them home and scoop them onto my own Keto tortillas and they are absolutely fabulous!!! Also the chicken tortilla soup is the best I have ever had! Great for keto diet (as long as you don't put the tortilla strips in it, and trust me it doesn't need it.). Super hardy with big chunks of chicken and vegetables. Big fan! And as always the staff is amazing and super friendly. They are the best in alameda!

Second time I came to pick up lunch. First time I came for lunch, I tried the Green Chile plate which was fantastic. Good amount of Pork and Potatoes in a really tasty Green Chile and Tomatillo sauce. Beans tasted fresh, and the rice was good. Today I tried the Chicken Flautas with Tomatillo Sauce and Refried beans. All fantastic and well done. Very traditional, not "white washed". One of the better places I have had Mexican food in the Bay Area. Absolutely worth a try!

Cute little spot sitting along the side of Lincoln Ave. Their nachos are fully loaded and served fundido style (Mexican fondue), which I absolutely love! It's usually about $25 for my nachos and tea but it's a huge portion and large tea. The Jamaica tea has the perfect amount of tartness and not overly sweetened. The chips are fresh and not stale, or tasting like old oil. The gentleman that is usually working in there during the day is super kind which is also a plus. Family owned vibes.

El Caballo Wraps is a small hole in the wall Taqueria on Lincoln Ave in Alameda. The menu is quite extensive though offering every type of burrito imaginable, tacos including snapper fish tacos, fajitas, pupusas, and the list goes on. They were kind enough to let us sample their chicken tortilla soup which was fresh and homemade. While sampling the soup we order one of their special burritos called Super Seafood Burrito. Super Seafood Burrito: at first I was taken back by the total which was $19.88 with tax included. But in defense, burritos on this side of the bay for whatever reason have inflated to that price. I wish someone would tell my employer, I shouldn't have to work so many hours just to buy burritos. But I digress... The burrito was good tasting and every bite had shrimp in it. That makes it a winner in my book. No skimping and good SABOR. El Caballo is definitely a spot to check out for solid Mexican food in Alameda.

Date: 7/5/2021 Time: 6:40 PM 62° Partly cloudy El Caballo Wraps was recommended to me by a fellow yelper of Alameda. Thanks to Steve D for his review and the photo of the fish tacos. I called the order in and told the employee I would be there to pick up. I don't live too far from El Caballo Wraps. As many times as my husband and I have driven by this business to run errands, never once did we stop by to sample their food and/or even notice the business was there. I am totally impressed. First time here and they did not disappoint at all. Eats: husband had the super carne asada burrito and I had the carnitas platter with flour tortillas. I have to admit that it was one humongous burrito and hubby could only eat 1/3 of it. He enjoyed his burrito and said it was better than the one from the place on Webster Street. The carnitas platter was too much for me. The portion was generous and it has taken me three meals to finish it (yesterday's dinner, today's lunch and this evening's dinner). I filled the three flour tortillas with the meat, rice, beans and fixings for small burritos. Lunch was part of the leftover with their tortilla chips and some spicy salsa. This evening's dinner was the remaining leftover with scrambled eggs, tortilla chips and pico de gallo. I am so full and I feel a siesta coming along. Finally, there will be more visits to El Caballo Wraps. Again, I am thankful to Steve D for his recommendation. I am convinced the food is the best and quite delicious. They also have a better selection on their menu. Hurray for El Caballo. Before I forget, the Jamaica was a thirst quencher and refreshing.
