Jalisco Restaurant

Oakland


This simple spot is famed throughout the East Bay for its carnitas (pork braised in its own fat). Folks will line up for this stuff, which is served in tacos, burritos, and quesadillas; other goodies include menudo (offal soup) and chicharrón (fried pork rind). Be aware of Jalisco's limited opening hours.
