Olivia PJuly 3, 2018WOW. Crazy good. Everything is so fresh tasting. Even the tortillas are crazy good - smooth, soft, moist! Red Mole is so good! Fish taco - very fresh. Damn even the rice and beans are top-notch.
Come for the daily specials like fish tacos & shrimp tacos. Chilaquiles make for an awesome Saturday brunch. Always authentic fare and a full bar.
Adrian PhillipsJanuary 16, 2016Incredible Saturday Brunch. The breakfast torta is huge with guac, bacon & fluffy, soft scrambled eggs. Get a side of chips & guacamole. To drink try the horchata iced latte (horchata + espresso).
Connie ChiuJune 19, 2018Inside a vibrant food market. Loved the pork belly taco! Probably one of the best I’ve ever had. Beautiful presentation too. I didn’t love the mushroom quesadilla I added beef adobo to. Nice folks!
Jeff SpitulnikMarch 26, 2017Pricy and a little slow, but a great meal every time. It's one of our go-to places for really yummy Mexican dishes. The vibe is super, too. Great place to meet up with friends!
Cameron WJune 27, 2015The quesadillas are ridiculously good. The shrimp and pork belly tacos are also worth the trip. It is expensive but the quality is higher than you will find at any typical taqueria in the area.
Expensive tacos but they are so delicious! It’s one of my favorite casual spots in Oakland. I normally order their lunch combo which comes with 2 tacos and an agua fresca.
tablehopperAugust 3, 2014The made-to-order corn tortillas really are notable. Probably some of the best I’ve had locally—great flavor, texture, and—that word that makes many peoples’ skin crawl—moistness. Read more
They have a 2 taco & agua fresca special for $9 at lunch. I loved the mole verde chicken and braised pork taco. The corn tortillas are legit!
The Wall Street JournalApril 4, 2012Signature dishes include the $4.50 fish tacos and the $7.95 torta ahogada, a grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce and avocado smothered in red chili sauce. Read more
Paula Wirth / Eat Drink OaklandApril 8, 2012Cosecha Café has many vegetarian and gluten-free offerings, and will be offering special vegan dishes throughout Oakland Veg Week (April 15-21, 2012) including grilled asparagus on the menu Friday.
The Bold ItalicApril 12, 2013With robust pieces of hominy and strips of chicken, Cosecha’s piping hot posole is a fitting remedy on a cold day. After a satisfying meal, grab a lime cookie as well
Melon LSeptember 4, 2015A menu filled with hits and a rotating daily special. Don't miss the watermelon salad if they have it.
Eunice KimSeptember 13, 2015The pork belly taco and mango salad are some of my favorite things I've eaten in the East Bay.
LindaMay 11, 2019Everything here is amazing, but I’ve literally never had better fish or shrimp tacos in my life.
Grace ChaungSeptember 28, 2014Fish tacos are baller. The Jicama Salad with Rotisserie Chicken and Mangos doesn't get enough love.
Pamela WagnerAugust 26, 2018Tried food at Cosecha for the 1st time. The food was good and I'll definitely will be back.- Alexandra MatthewsJune 15, 2018The mango and mint salad is delicious! It's only $7, but is huge! Very worth getting.
Neil BuckmanJune 28, 2015Their cheese role is an interesting and delicious appetizer that's great to share.
_April 1, 2015Tacos, tacos, tacos! Cucumber lime taste refreshing, but not as satisfying as I thought it would be.
Ask the counter if you need to use the restroom, they have one for their customers. Tortillas here are some of the best I've ever had, lots of vegetarian options.
Marshall St. ClairMay 25, 2015Huevos Cuautemoc - eggs over beans and salsa with avocado and tortillas. Also the Chilaquiles
Maybs MApril 28, 2014Brunch on Saturday only, 10:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. Read more at
Ravini NagahawattaJune 18, 2014Horchata latté would be a lovely drink for those who like the flavor of cinnamon
JonesAugust 3, 2016The fish tacos are good. The sauce and pickled veggie are solid. Pricey at $4.50 a piece
Generous-sized corn tortilla for the quesadilla - fresh and delicious, and great if you need to be gluten-free.
Genevieve CWFebruary 10, 2012Try the Tres Leche Cake - Milk squeezed out the bottom with each delicious bite, yet the cake was not soggy at all. Amazing!!
Pastry is surprisingly good. Cornbread is Wednesday only, and they only made 2 on Wed. Started to miss it on Thursday.
tricia wangMarch 27, 2015Very happy with their pozole. Fish tacos fall into very satisfying category (not mind blowing).
Tasting TableJuly 30, 2012Sample the tacos made with homemade tortillas, pozole, quesadillas and farm-fresh salads: Read more
- Dinner--Thursday to Saturday until 9pm, first time went there in June, 8. Wow, it's lots of people, feels joyful.
Great tacqueria in Ol Oakland...on par with Tacubaya in Berkeley and even better in certain areas.
They have grab and go breakfast options - cornbread, guayaba empanadas...menus change daily.
