Glenview Taqueria

FriendlyQuick The veggie flautas are excellent and I recommend ordering the full dinner

We've been back here several times since my first review, and I think Glenview Taqueria has worked out most of the issues that were apparent in their early days.I still think both the shrimp tacos and fish tacos are excellent--the fish and shrimp are perfectly cooked and delicate, with a great overall flavor. I could just order these and be perfectly happy.On an earlier visit, the al pastor burrito had scarcely any pastor in it, but on our most recent visit, the burrito had plenty of pastor, and it tasted good, too! The pollo asada burrito was also more satisfying on subsequent visits, both in terms of flavor and the balance of the ingredients inside.The "medium" red salsa that came on the side on our most recent visit was also quite good, and worked well with both the tortilla chips and when adding it to the burritos.We look forward to coming here more regularly.Also, I have not seen the guy who was working the register and taking orders on my very first visit there, which is fine because his communication skills were odd and he was kind of rude. But customer service has been great on every visit since then.To respond to the owner's response to my original review: For whatever reason, It wasn't crystal clear to me back then when looking at the menu that guac only comes on the super burrito, but in my defense, when I was asking that guy who took my order to leave sour cream off the burritos, that could have been his cue to inform me that sour cream (and guac, for that matter) only comes on super burritos anyway--that would've cleared up any confusion, and then I would've ordered the super burritos.

I've tried this place a handful of times and I don't see myself ordering from this place again. Today we ordered an Al pastor burrito today and it had barely any meat! See my pic for reference. It's basically a bean and rice burrito. That totally wasn't worth $18! Also, I dislike places that use the smallest tiniest sauce holders possible, they gave just one green and one red. I could have asked for more but it's also not good for the environment. It's giving cheapppp vibes. It's a pass for me guys. Note to the owner: Get it right every time, so you won't have to try to get it right the 2nd time.

Great addition to the neighborhood. Shrimp and fish tacos are tasty (haven't tried the chicken, pork or steak yet). Service is courteous and swift. Prices are comparable to other similar taquerias in the area. Will definitely support it.

4207 Park Blvd Oakland, CA 94602I was there, Glenview Taqueria, in Oakland's Glenview neighborhood!I received a tip that that this place had hellya good batter fried fish tacos! I had to go try them. If I had only ordered fish tacos, I would be writing a 5-star review. But no, I ordered a grilled chicken burrito too. The burrito was a bit too salty. Sorry, I won't be ordering that again. But the fish tacos were a delicious dish. They aren't very large, but are packed with flavor. Would I come again? Maybe

Giving them a few months to settle in before I make a stronger decision on the restaurant. We waited 25 minutes for our order of 2 burrito bowls and 4 street tacos. It wasn't too busy, but this was just the first week. Unfortunately the taco order was completely wrong and we didn't notice until we got home and opened the food up. Even though the taqueria is close by, we didn't have time to wait another half hour for them to fix it. Carne asada is the stand out protein. The pollo, rice, and beans could use a blast of flavor. $5 a taco is a lot and hurts more of your order is wrong.

3.5 stars, salsa isn't great. Steak burrito was good, not $17 good for the super, I'd only go back for a quesadilla at most, chips were good.

I dropped in today for a burrito after seeing all of the positive reviews and unfortunately I was disappointed. The place is nice and clean and their salsas were good, the customer service was fine but my problem was the food. And what makes this even more painful is that the food wasn't bad at all. Actually each element of the burrito was pretty good. The rice was tasty, the beans were just fine and what little steak I did get was good. But that was the problem, there was VERY LITTLE steak. And the fact that the burrito cost me nearly 15 dollars makes that an even bigger problem for me. I kept taking bites thinking ok the steak will be in the next bite, but it never came! The attached picture is halfway through the burrito and it was still mostly all rice and beans. By the time I got to the end there wasn't even that pocket of meat that you get when a burrito isn't properly mixed when it's rolled! There seriously was that little meat. If you are going to serve burritos in Oakland where there is a plethora of options you need to not skimp on the meat. I am not asking for the burrito to overfloweth with meat I just want a burrito that isnt all rice and beans with a dash of meat. I am going to go back at some point to see if it is changed and if it does I'll update my review. But for now the burrito was skimpy as heck on the meat at that price point.

Food was excellent. This area was in separate need of a good Mexican restaurant. So glad for this spot. Everyone go!

What a great find!!! So nice to have a go-to taqueria in the neighborhood. The protein (beef, chicken, fish) are high quality and very good. The owner (believe he's the owner) is great. Had some confusion about order (my fault) first visit and wasn't charged for the item not ordered. Great customer service. Highly recommend, and hope they stay around for a long time.
