El Huarache Azteca in Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland


Haven't been to El Huarache Azteca since last summer, today (3/3/18) we thought it a great idea to check it out again. Above and below is the Huarache Azteca, which is steak, nopales, cheese, lettuce beans on a huarache made from Blue Corn Meal. Superb, as one would expect.






Otherwise we just got the same stuff as usual, the Borrego Birria plate (smoked mutton with smoked nopales and the fixins. I also got a Jamaica agua fresca, which is Hibiscus Tea.




Above and below: tacos on freshly made corn tortillas. The smell and flavor always reminds me of El Paso.




Fantastic Mexican restaurant on International. Above: smoked lamb barbacoa plato, with nopales, rice and frijoles made from scratch, the latter two with the rich flavors of meat stock and manteca. Sublime.

From left: salsa verde, salsa rojo (probably habanero), and my Jamaica, or Hibiscus tea.

Tortillas made from scratch, natch.

Quesadilla: another tortilla made from scratch, with Huitlacoche, cheese, lettuce. Can't wait to return.
