Whenever I would ride my scooter passed Cassave Restaurant, I would see one or two people inside eating a plate of Mexican food. In front of the restaurant as well as near the counter they have daily and weekly specials. In Fridays, they have a special on their burritos for $10. For $1.50 more it can be made into a super with cheese, sour cream, and guacamole which is worth it. So that's what I ordered.Super steak burrito: how was it? Ok. It wasn't bad. It wasn't particularly small, but at the same time it wasn't gut busting sized like I usually get for a similar price. The flavors were ok. The meat was ok. Nothing stood out.The employees were all very nice. The food came out fast. So would I come again? Yes, BUT I don't feel a compelling reason to come back at the same time.

I was looking over the online menu for the Cassave Taqueria, and got interested in the "Oakland Taco." Hmm, what could that be? So I ordered the:- Oakland Taco- Baja Fish Taco- Reg Nachos, No Meat$$$ Total was under $20I went to pickup my food, and I guess they thought I was a food delivery guy because they just handed me my order. Okay, so I liked the tacos. The Oakland Taco is a super crispy taco shell, filled with ground beef, sour cream, lettuce, and cheese. Simple, super crispy,and loaded with meat. Price at about $5, it could use a little more spicy kick. The Baja Fish Taco was good, and it was prepared in a familiar fashion. Breaded and fried Cod, served over lettuce, pico de gallo and Mayo-chipotle aioli. Served in a soft tortilla. Also priced at about $5, this taco nearly came apart as I ate it. The Regular Nachos, w/ No Meat was okay. It doesn't travel well as takeout. Made with tortilla chips, beans, cheese, and pico de gallo. When it was fresh the chips were crispy. When I got home the chips were soft and soggy. Oh well, eat your nachos right away! Nice price at $8.75.Located at San Pablo Ave & 54th St in Emeryville. Small shared parking lot. Good Food at fair prices!Support Local Business!

Not my favorite. The fish tacos didn't quite have enough fish, but the chicken tacos were pretty good. We also got chips and guac and just didn't feel too impressed on those either.

Cassave is my neighborhood pupuseria/taqueria. We have been going for years always friendly, quick and tasty! They have some great deals on tacos and burritos in certain days if the week that also makes it affordable to feed a familia in these over priced days and times.! Some of our favorites: the al pastor, carne asada, carnitas and pollo asado are all hella good. The salmon burrito and surf and turf (shrimp al mojo and asada) are also fantastic as are their daily rotation of aguas frescas.. I also love their yucca frita con chocharron! When in N Oakland Cassave is the spot for good Slvadorean and Mexican comida tipica!

The place is colorful and kitchy. I'm a pescatarian but I generally like to eat lots of vegetables at every meal. I was pleased to see grilled vegetables on the menu and ordered one taco with just the grilled broccoli, zucchini, spinach, onion and mushroom (I asked to leave out the bell peppers which were also available). That veg taco came with black beans. I also ordered a fish taco with the same grilled veggies added on top. As you can see they were generous with the veggies and they were also delicious. This is a great place to stop by if you're vegetarian, and of course they have the many meat options if you want them. The green salsa was super tasty and well balanced, and went perfectly with my crispy piece of fried fish. (I'm sure you could have it grilled if you prefer.)

I ordered pupusas and they did not come with curtido. I looked at their menu again to see if perhaps curtido had to be ordered separately as a side, but it isn't on the menu at all, except as an accompaniment to the yucca dish. Who eats pupusas without curtido?

Got a grilled chicken super burrito. I was hungry after shopping nearby and I hadn't been to Cassave in years. Small spot, clean and tidy with a few tables inside. All burritos come with rice, your choice of beans, and pico de gallo. The bean choices are pinto, black or refried. They offer the options of flour, spinach, wheat and tomato tortillas. I opted for the spinach tortilla and black beans. The basic grilled chicken burrito is just $11. If you want chicken breast or chicken fajitas that's $12. Add $1.50 if you want the luxuriousness of a super burrito, which I went for. The burrito came out quickly. It was a good size and I liked that they grilled the tortilla. It just wasn't that tasty overall and the red and green sauce they supplied weren't particularly good. Next time I'll order it without the rice. I don't need the filler.Decent eating at a good price. There are plenty of better options in the East Bay. But sometimes, if you're in the neighborhood, you just want the place that's closest and this is not a bad bet in that case.

Cassave catered at my kids' school (EBI) annual party in Emeryville and everyone loved the food and fun staff. We also stop by this place for after-school snacks & take-out & leave with fullhappy bellies.

Man, they put chicken in my super healthy burrito, but everyone else got their order right and told me it was good. So I guess there's that.What's the point of a vegan/vegetarian burrito and you put chicken in it...Anyway, that's that.
