Credit: Shifra de Benedictis-Kessner The Bay Area honors Shock-G The event brings businesses outdoors and is perfect for all Oaklanders in need of a night out on The Town. This Saturday, fans of the late Gregory Jacobs, better known as Shock G of the hip-hop group, Digital Underground, will be able to celebrate the life and legacy of the late artist. #TACO RICO LONDON SQUARE MENU FREE#Įast Oakland Collective will distribute free food to the community at 7800 MacArthur Blvd. Community Kitchens is providing 2000 meals from The Busy Wife, MexiQ (East Oakland Smoke), Hopscotch, Rico Rico Taco, Comal Next Door, Sobre Mesa, Kingston 11, Guadalajara, Luka’s, Ratto’s, and Mela Bistro Ethiopian. At 11 a.m., a motorcade will begin from the Black Cultural Zone at 7101 Foothill Blvd., pass through West Oakland and end at Frank Ogawa Plaza. (Shout out for large eating portions!!! Lol) Overall experience was great, bur the food didn’t have a distinct taste that would make it memorable.While at City Hall, there will be a reading proclamation by the Mayor declaring Aug. THREE STARS because the food was delicious, just didn’t stand out for me, and wasn’t the best Mexican food I’ve had. There are other Mexican places (that even if I don’t really fancy Mexican dishes) that make me wanna come back, and unfortunately, this isn’t one of them. Maybe if I loved Mexican food I would come back, but I can’t really say for now. ![]() If I could give a review solely based on their kindness it would be a five) But, in all honestly, it’s nothing that sticks out to me and would make me want to come back. The place is pretty small, but usually yummy places are hidden in little books and crannies that we never knew, right?! The staff are incredibly nice though! Making sure that the customers are satisfied with the food and their experience (so that’s not even an issue. I’m not a big fan of this place actually. I’m not a big fan of Mexican food (my review is totally independent this) and I was hoping that their food was good enough that it’ll change my mind, or at least make me wanna come back. I guess for the price you pay (especially for lunch) the amount of food you get is hefty lol It’s cool cause they give you free chips to hold you off till the food arrives. ![]() Added a second star because the food that was delivered was good once it was correct, but way too much effort. The wait staff and lack of concern made it feel more like walking into a high school after-school youth center than a restaurant. Good food once it arrived and wasn’t cold, but there are some serious service issues that need to be addressed. The kitchen staff snapped to attention and got busy while he was there and finally got my tacos cranked out. He looked at me a couple of times like «why are you just standing at the counter» but never asked why. About that time someone who must have been the manager or owner showed up (fresh from the gym perhaps?) shorts and an old t-shirt and started wandering around the kitchen. ![]() ![]() Again, the staff didn’t seem too concerned. I’m not talking «not warm» cold, I’m talking «just pulled out of the fridge» cold. The plate finally came out a few minutes later and the pork was cold. They didn’t seem to know anything about the missing order so told the cooks to make a new one. I have them some time then went and asked. Two entrees came out, the third was forgotten. That should have been a red flag to start with. The counter staff couldn’t have been more disinterested in service. Disclaimer: we love the Taco Rico on US 1 in Pinecrest, so I’m hoping our experience at this new location is a fluke.
