Huge space with yummy food n variety of mezcal cocktails (n other cocktails). They have hot coffee too - was much needed. Loved the lively greenery for decor. Was a fun find!

Really cool outdoor spot in Oakland right next to Jack London Square and the Brooklyn Basin. Lots of outdoor seating in a cool outdoor setting with nice decor. Drink amazing is awesome, with lots of great mezcal cocktails, which was a treat! Food is great as well— really tasty tacos, burritos and queso. Prices are a bit high ($5 for a cup of coffee!) but the great location and ambiance makes it worth it.

The place is friendly and fun. Cocktails are tasty and good. Not expensive as many other places. Food was good enough for the drinks. Family and pet friendly. Perfect place for a good sunny day. Perfect for big parties. We were 9 adults, 4 kids and a dog. We were all happy !!

Great Mexican, "modern Mexican" and vegan eats. Extensive and delicious cocktail menu.The vegan tamale was ?.Also, very friendly and knowledgeable staff with great recommendations.Dog friendly patio ?

Food, decent beer selection, cocktails are tha bomb

Just moved to the area and one of the first places I tried. Very fun outdoor atmosphere with lots of shaded areas. Friendly servers and quick service. We got the Quesobirria and it was SO GOOD. Definitely for 2-3 people unless you've got a MASSIVE appetite. This one was served more in a "pizza" style than as tacos which i'm more accustomed to but it was super tasty nonetheless. Definitely give it a try.

- Spot is aesthetically pleasing!!! ?- Drinks are unique and bar set up is great.- Food, however, is overpriced, tastes mediocre, and paired qualities aren’t the best. (Think about it this way “bad&bougee Mexican food meets a hipster” - If you get it, you get it! LMAO)- Parking: plenty of street parking available.

This place is always super packed with folks so getting on the wait list is key right off the bat, it may take a few. We were lucky to get the bar area for drinks and dessert... a staff of nice young people bustling around. Our bartender was excellent she whipped up our drinks and even tho it was hectic she tended to us beautifully which is super service. The desserts were delish! I was surprised this joint close to home at the end of the road by the railroad tracks w the train horn would be so entertaining. I'll be back.

Everything here is good, but the cost of a $7 fish taco or $7 bowl of sliced cucumbers advertised as “pickled market vegetables” is in the fact it’s outdoors in an era of corona virus.

This was mine and my fiamce forst time here. It was great fr start to finish! They have a seperate area where youhave drinks and apps and wait for your table. Great atmosphere. drinks. and food!! our waitress "Dee" was great!! The Guavacito is a yummy Margarita and the chips with salsa and guacamole is delicious. The cheese Enchilada with Almond Mole Sauce was so good...I couldn'tput the fork down.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!
