A Gem in Oaktown, California

El Taco Zamorano in Oakland is truly an old time favorite from back in the day! Some friends introduced me to this taco truck (restaurant is now open too, right next to it) and I've been frequenting it for years. When we recently got the chance to get out to High St & International, we did! Without our kids in tow, it was all good. It's not exactly in the safest neighborhood, but it is worth making the stop that's for sure.

Although El Taco Zamorano is noted to have the best carnitas in town, we stuck to what we knew...the carne asada! The burritos come stacked with your choice of meat, rice, beans, onions, and cilantro...and perhaps a secret ingredient that makes it so tasty. But you must not skip on the extras - radishes, green onions, and verde. The combo is simply heavenly!




Been ordering this for years!
The "wet" version of the carne asada burrito...yum!
