Obelisco Restaurant

4.8/5Consistent service and quality authentic food! Good fish tacoes you can rely on and good portions for the size. I used to come here when I was vegetarian, and the veg tacoes are great as well. They have a coconut flan that's dairy free - there's something here for everyone. Beautiful atmosphere and location. Sad the chips and salsa aren't complimentary anymore, but not a big deal since the prices are reasonable. Great spot, I highly suggest!

Now let's talk about this salad. I had the Tostada salad with chicken. Served on a fried corn tortilla shell without black bean, spring mix, romaine lettuce, red cabbage, without radish, carrots, queso fresco, pico de gallo, homemade balsamic vinaigrette on the side. I just realized my salad was not topped w/ guacamole but it was still good. Service was amazing, everything is freshly cooked and the ambiance was nice. It gets busy during lunch so I can imagine it gets busy during dinner as well.

My favorite restaurant in Oakland. I was very sorry to see the notice they closed in the Oakandside. And delighted to see that they plan to reopen in May. I look forward to seeing their new location.

The best tasty salad in a minute! It's not just typical lettuce, it's a blend! Loved every bite! There is not only shrimp as a protein, but black beans as well!!!They do have Agua Fresca!!! Yum! Is very sweet, so just ask for extra ice if you don't want this super sweet treat with your meal! They also serve beer. The place is a bit dark with many colors involved! No bright colors, but there is outside seating available! This is 1/2 counter service, so order before you're seated! And they bring the food and drinks to you!The restrooms are clean and bright.There is only street parking or Bart parking.

I ate here once many many years ago. I remember when they first opened. It was really good back in the day but now honestly i didn't like my burrito. I should have just got fish tacos. The burrito is big and fulfilling but i barely had any meat even though i ordered steak and shrimp. The burrito was sloppy and falling apart. I don't think I'd ever order a burrito from here again. Also the meat i did try the steak was really chewy.

I was craving chilaquiles verdes, these hit the spot YUM! My first time here, reasonable prices, I'll be back.

This is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants and we're so happy they're opening again for dinner. We recently came for an early dinner and were able to park right in front. I love to get their chile relleno burrito, so delicious like your typical chile relleno but wrapped in a flour tortilla with beans, rice, salsa, and of course I added guacamole. Very filling! My wife loves getting their fish tacos and what really makes the dish, whether you get the fish grilled or fried, is the fresh made corn tortillas. With so many Mexican restaurants in the Bay Area, it's still not easy to find places with tortillas made fresh. Great agua frescas that aren't over-sweetened (try the guava, it's incredible!). Chips come with a good salsa approaching medium spicy. We tried the coconut flan this time and it was so good with the syrup and had a more firm texture than many other flans I've had. Since we ate too much our server prepared the flan to-go and it transported easily.

I absolutely love this restaurant. The fried fish burritos are my FAVE. I would go here every day if I could!

Can't believe I haven't written a review for them yet since we love love love everything they make for lunch and dinner and order at least a couple times a month now for years. The enchiladas de mole, verdes, sopa de albóndigas, pozole blanco, tacos de papa, carnitas plate, shrimp salad, and vegan enchilada plate are our go-tos. We also always get a big order of red salsa and chips and whatever fresh juice drinks they make. Family owned and run. Really stands out with thier high quality ingredients, home made tortillas, and lots of vegan options with real substance (not just onions and bell peppers). Our whole family loves them and hope you do too!

Everything is so delicious. Authentic food, friendly staff, nice indoor dining.I would highly recommend them if you're looking for good Mexican food. The albondigas is delicious, and the burritos and pozole are awesome also.
