Island Taqueria

This place is pretty good. Alameda is not really known for having good mexican food but this is probably one of the better mexican restaurants in the east bay. Proportions are good and their food consistency is great. And above all else the food is pretty frickin good too. Ever in Alameda and have a craving for some mexican food ? Hit up Island its pretty awesome.

Still coming, food STILL good, customer service STILL amazing!! Thank you Island Taqueria :)

Our 19th hole was here yesterday. It was plan B as plan A across the street appeared boarded up.

How to order - the order counter is in the back. Read the menu posted above and place your order & pay.

We got comp tortilla chips with a green and a red dip. Also went with water that we dispensed ourselves.

Our orders were walked over to our table. Flatware is get it yourself.

Hubby and I both had the carne asada taco salad. There was ample amount of carne asada with a good balance of guacamole, salsa, beans, sour cream, cheese, chopped lettuce in a crispy shell.

Our other friends ordered burritos.

Food prices have gone up everywhere so we weren't surprised - our taco salad was $16. The super burrito was $17.

Service was quick.

So disappointed for Wednesday lunch!!
I have been here couple times back and in general the food was average, and I have no idea the food quality was SO BAD recently!!

I paid $19.94 for super nachos it was totally a joke! It was very obvious that They put corn chips - beef - bean in to go box then put them in the microwave to heat it up then put sour cream and guacamole afterward!
Of course the corn chips turned so soft and everything so watery! I PAID FOR THE MISTAKE WITH FLAVOLESS FOOD!!
I only ate a bit and my stomach already not feeling well end up I got Diarrhea!!

If the price has kept increasing please give good quality food to serve your customers! BUT I WILL NEVER ORDER FOOD FROM YOUR PLACE AGAIN ANYWAYS!

DON'T COME HERE NOT WORTH YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!

Huge portion and really tasty but the super burrito is like $17-18 bucks which is kinda steep. My boyfriend has gone back and ordered the non-super (no guacamole or sour cream) and it came out to like $13 which is more reasonable. Even though it's pretty big I don't think the super is worth the price.

Totally authentic, homemade, handmade, fresh, tasty, plentiful, clean, friendly, homey.

I loved the carnitas enchilada with green sauce!!!

The menu has the usual burritos, enchiladas, etc. I opted for 2 enchiladas, very tasty but a little spicy for my palette. Nice workers.

The restaurant we were going to was temporarily closed and so we looked around Park Street for a new restaurant that we could try. Found Island Taqueria close by so decided to give it a try. We ordered the grilled chicken super burrito (super includes guacamole, sour cream and cheese) for $5 more than the regular burrito. The burrito was tasty but for $17 which included guacamole, sour cream and cheese... I could barely find any guacamole or sour cream? The burrito itself was a good size, but to pay extra for fixings that you could not find inside your super burrito is not worth paying the extra money? This place is a bit pricey! So basically it was a large burrito that was on the dry side. Not sure it would be one of my to go places. Few tables but only one table was large enough for a group of 6. The chips were fresh, crispy and provided if you asked for it and it was very good.

Great location, nice decor, and excellent service. I ordered a Carne Asada Burrito and it was delicious. The meat and beans were perfectly cooked.
Coming here was a very quick, last minute decision and I had a great experience. I'll definitely return.

My family has been coming to this place for at least the past 20 years. It's the only place my husband can find a ground beef burrito, so it's his go to spot and surely he'd give them 5 stars. I used to get a chicken flautas, which are very good, but with all the sour cream and being fried, I usually order a green chili burrito now. It's very good. I love that it's a local place and that they serve the community so graciously however, I can't say that it's the best Mexican food that I've ever eaten. In terms of tacos, I prefer a taco truck. But given that it's very close to me, I'd eat here in a minute and suggest you give it a try. Sorry, no pictures.

Follow my instruction understand and ask if onions in it then honest. Like it good food! In order burrito chicken. Yummy
