La Guerrera’s Kitchen

Tacos were great. I especially liked the fish and carne asada. The chicken taco was excessively spicy for my European liking. The atmosphere was great and staff was very helpful.

I came by the location for lunch, and I was excited to be there when they were open. Got two different tamales and almost got a taco. Turns out the two delicious tamales were plenty. Really fast service as they were ready when I ordered. Salsas they were served with were perfect. Melon Agua Fresca was fantastic! I'm looking forward to coming back again and would definitely recommend this spot for lunch.

It was nice sitting there in the open with my husband having lunch. The food is delicious the empanadas. Great, I didn't try the tamales, but I'll be back. We will be back. The girls they're are very friendly staff courteous.

I stepped in during my lunch break. I almost got out of line because it was moving slow, but I’m glad I didn’t. The line was there for a reason. I had the barbacoa and it reminded me of the one my aunt used to make. It was amazing! Support this place!

Excellent Mexican food in Swan Market. We ordered the empanadas, tacos, and coconut horchata. My favorite was the taco pescado, but everything was flavorful, cooked well, and had layers of flavor throughout the meat, salsa, and slaws. Would highly recommend!

Guerrera's has quickly and easily become my new favorite lunch spot in Oakland. Delicious daily agua frescas and authentic vegan options. If I had only $20 left, I'd spend it here.

Love this place; the pescadilla taco had excellent balance of flavors: spicy creamy and fish! The pork tamale was also good!

Natalia was super friendly, it is the first time I visit and won’t be the last. The atmosphere is happy, love the option of eating outdoor too.

Amazing tamales in such a cute location. A few tables set up for outdoor dining with a parking lot right next to the storefront, making this a very accessible food stop in downtown Oakland. They were out of the mole tamales the day we went, but we thoroughly enjoyed the vegetable tamale, chicken verde tamale, and vegetable empanadas. Happy to see gluten free and vegan menu options!

Out of towner here

I got the carnitas platter and it was solid. The black beans were excellent as well. With tip, it was $115 for 4 people. Pretty pricey for a place that doesn't have waiters. It's pork, rice and beans. Not exactly expensive stuff, but the food was great for sure. I'm sure the lease for this location is a fortune, so that probably explains the price. It's the Bay Area. What do you expect?

Generous portions too. Just enough to feel full without stuffing yourself. I would recommend and would definitely come back again when in Oakland. Beautiful downtown, BTW.

These are some of the best tamales I've ever had. The masa is really tasty, my favorite is the pork with green salsa.

They also have brunch on weekends, I tried "relleno de puerco", it's a pork sandwich that packs a punch.

Their patio is really nice as well, love this place.

When I die I hope heaven looks like La Guerrera’s Kitchen. Do yourself a favor and get the tacos and empanadas. Mole was excellent too. Can’t wait to come back!!

Delicious carnitas plate, very nice staff

Stopped by totally unplanned, ordered pozole verde to go… DELICIOSO!
I’ll be visiting again and trying other offerings

Food is amazing here! Got the chicken tamale and huevos ranchero, highly recommend both. The outdoor seating is a huge plus

Very yummy fish tacos. Pork & pineapple tacos are a must try. Friendly staff and the to-go order came out swiftly, although it was a busy Friday at lunchtime. Check it out!

We have been to the restaurant and also used the catering service. Both are fabulous. Swan Market is a fun, casual place. Guerrera’s food is top-notch.

They catered a 70th birthday for about 80+ guests. Everyone raved about the food. We had the taqueria with a choice of barbacoa, pollo, or seasonal vegetarian. We also had refrescos, chips, salsa, guacamole, ceviche, and fruit cups with tamarindo sauce and Tajín. I just can’t put into words how good it was, and reasonably priced. Also, Reyna and her mother are thorough, efficient, and professional. At the same time they are warm, personal, and calm, so their very presence was a plus. My husband is a fantastic cook, so we have never had an event catered before. He was lukewarm to the idea initially, but thrilled with the results. He finally had a party where he could relax and visit and dance!
I will definitely be going to their restaurant and using their catering service again.

Pork tamales are amazing (moist and flavorful) and their daily specials are always very good. I go out of my way to eat here!

Very authentic delicious food. The fish tacos, mole, and tamales tasted amazing! Definitely worth a visit.

Simply good food. I love their mole. Service is friendly and efficient. Please support this place. We can't afford to lose more good restaurants in this environment.
