We know how tough it is to find the best restaurant in Oakland.

For example, we considered Eater - 22 Destination-Worthy Tacos in the East Bay, Hoodline - The 5 best spots to score tacos in Oakland and Eater - The 7 Top Tacos in Fruitvale as we sourced this ultimate list. If it’s on the list, we’ve checked and verified that the restaurant is still open and will showcase any updated hours and services you need to be aware of. Feastfox gets no money for featuring restaurants in this list – everyone’s earned their place. Don’t sleep on the restaurants in this list.
