Taqueria Las Comadres

I am quite late in writing this review, so I apologize if anything's changed about these dishes since then. I got a cactus burrito, and also drank some horchata and strawberry agua fresca.The cactus burrito was quite large, the cactus was sour and reminded me of pickles. I liked the creaminess. Overall, I thought it was pretty decent as a vegetarian option. It's not super common (in my experience, which may not be representative) to find nopales at taquerias, so I was intrigued that they offer it here.The horchata and strawberry agua fresca were pretty good too, definitely will fulfill your sweet tooth.

My wife and I took my sister's dog for a walk in Montclair Village and had lunch outside on the pet-friendly sidewalk patio at Taqueria Las Comadres. I thought the food and service were A-OK. I'd come back. This place is fine for quick and convenient tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, and other Mexican food.There are other pet-friendly patios in Montclair such as El Agavero, another Mexican restaurant just up the street, and Crogan's Irish pub, around the corner. Taqueria Las Comadres appealed to us most at the time.This is a small, humble, no-frills, fast-casual restaurant (a hole in the wall) with very limited seating, inside and out. It's more of a takeout joint as opposed to El Agavero, which is a more spacious sit-down restaurant. Taqueria Las Comadres has been around since 1991, according to the laminated paper menu in-store, and 1986, according to their business info on Yelp.I had the following tacos:* Carne Asada ($5.25) - steak* Al Pastor ($5.00) - marinated pork* Carnitas ($5.00) - pork* Fish ($5.25) - tilapiaEach taco was served in a double-layer soft corn tortilla. I believe they gave me the option between soft and hard tacos and I chose soft. I don't remember if they gave me the option between corn or flour tortillas, but I usually pick corn. I had pico de gallo (salsa) served on the steak and both pork tacos. The salsa was fresh and delicious. However, the meat quality was OK at best; not the best flavor or texture. That said, the tacos were big and filling and they certainly satiated my hunger. The fish taco was underwhelming. It just wasn't as good as most other fish tacos I've had. Also, the meat tacos were quite watery and runny. It didn't take long for them to break apart, so eating them was messy.We got some other salsas and condiments from the salsa bar and I also picked up a bottle of water ($1.75) from one of the self-serve fridges in front of the counter. The fridges also had Jarritos Mexican soda in assorted flavors and Mexican Coke, which is sweetened with white sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup like American Coke.Service was efficient. Taqueria Las Comadres uses Square for payment processing, which means automatic email receipts for me.Check out Taqueria Las Comadres on Instagram @taquerialascomadres_oakland https://www.instagram.com/taquerialascomadres_oakland/On February 24, 2022, they posted pictures of Klay Thompson's visit. Cool.

Hefty super burritos for two meals. And they were tasty! Service was fast and efficient.

Was craving a burrito that's near the house. I didn't wanna go too deep into Oakland to get a burrito. I just wanted a burrito near the house. I love pretty much small business (mi gente) . It came during lunch hour, which was not that busy didn't have any seats. I should've known once I saw the hot plates where they have their meats that it should've been a no go for me. I got a regular burrito. Got the asada (beef) The meat had no flavor and the type of meat they have was not the best. I believe it was a chuck roast meat because it was very thick. Will definitely not be back to this place sorry

Best wet burrito in the Bay! We live in Monterey now and when we come to visit the Bay Area we always have to get our burrito fix

This taqueria has a nice flow of customers with quick preparation of items when ordered. Choice of tortillas are available like spinach, and of course standard. All the classic meats like Al Pastor, Carnitas, steak, and chicken. Beans like black, pinto, and refried. And mild Pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream are added to a super burrito.So how was it?Lackluster burrito. Nothing stood out or makes me want to come back. In fact the burrito is pequeno. When it comes to burritos, sizes matters. Especially if I'm paying $15 per burrito, I shouldn't be able to down two super burritos. But I did.The employees are all nice and I was in and out in less than five minutes. But there's too many better burritos being served in that price range for me to return.

Literally one of my favorite Mexican spots in the Bay Area and it's in Montclair of all places. Don't listen to these negative reviews this place never disappoints me. Super burrito the way to go

I returned to Taqueria Las Comadres for Lunch last Thursday. I was in town for a meeting that started at 1 PM and after a long drive from Genoa NV, I needed something to eat. Taqueria Las Comadres remains a small "hole in the wall" (if you can say that in Montclair) Mexican joint, that still serves really good food, both fast and plentiful. I opted for one of their bowl items (small), which was just enough for Lunch and to avoid a "to go" container. I found a nice place to sit inside and they accept credit cards.

Delicious food as well as kind and fast service! This is my new go to place for burritos. SO good!

At its best, this spot is average. Unfortunately for my family, tonight it wasn't even that. Two of our three burritos were inedible greasy. The meat, Al pastor, tasted not fresh. It almost seemed like they were trying to resuscitate older meat with obscene amounts of oil. So two burritos went into the compost, and I had to make two new meals. Great.
