Matt Winter: Outstanding Cubano sandwich, the best fish tacos I've had in the Bay Area, refreshing aguas frescas, and superb customer service.
Anna James: Baja fish & Pollo al pastor tacos are excellent. Asado sandwich is yummy. And yes, don't forget the side of plantains.
Kate Furman: Fried fish tacos are excellent, and so are their agua frescas
slightly delightful: one truck has the meats. the other truck has the seafood! visit both to maximize the awesomeness of these trucks!
Gary Tsai: Get the fish tacos...it's on the secret menu. One of the top three taco trucks in east bay
crystal lo: we ordered the pescado, pastor, lengua, cabeza, and buche. all were delicious but the pastor was my favorite. can't wait to go back.

Desmond Rodgers: So far I've had great success with the crawfish, rockin rolls, and shrimp! Trying the crab tonight and expect to be equally blown away.
Lam Anh: So yummy! I recommend the crab with corn and yummy gumbo with okra!
Brian Strauss: A superb locals joint. Eat great seafood with your hands -- New Orleans boil style. King crab is killer. Friendly staff. Nearly as many TVs on the walls to watch games as there is graffiti.

Kristen Lum: We thought the Calamari Nero was the tastiest bomba. Worth the resulting Shar Pei tongue.
SFist: The menu here focuses on the flavors of Spain, the Mediterranean, and North Africa, and features some perfect bacalao croquettes, lamb kefta, and more. If you're a seafood lover try the squid bomba. Read more.
Eric S: Great cocktails. All the plates were well-prepared and in perfect portions. Loved the ceviche and quail.
Alice Ferris: Try the Omakase Nigiri - Maguro (tuna), Tai (red snapper), Sake (salmon), Hamachi (yellowtail), and Kani (crab)
Joseph Rosenfeld: The Brussels sprouts are such a great starter that we indulged with a second order. Both our meals were delicious [sea bass and lamb loin].
Jim Anderson: Try the Seasonal Vegetable Tempura - Loved them all especially the okra and lotus.

Seafood Restaurant · North Oakland · 7 tips and reviews
Frank Kim: The fish & chips are amazing actually, not the traditional battered-fried fish, and the fries are like these awesome cajun-style fries, but you can pick what type of fish, I got the petrale sole.
Kait Gaiss: In Rockridge's Market Hall, come here for the freshest catch of the day, fried up in a sandwich or with fish and chips, ceviche, and oysters on the half shell on Sundays.
Kim C: Try the Fish & Chips with Basa. Cheap bit delicious.
