Tortas Ahogadas El Tio

Very nice and helpful service... I only had the Barbacoa Taco with cheese. It was very good, the meat was tender and well flavored and cooked and all my request were met as far as toppings and etc...

For being in Oakley, this little Mexican restaurant serves great authentic Mexican food! Some of the food needed a little more salt. Overall, great place to try!

Warning: I'm about to romanticize how incredibly delicious their food is.

I'll start with my order, a lovely super burrito with carnitas. Savory, moist pulled pork that was evenly cooked, vibrant green avocado cubes, fluffy/well-seasoned warm rice, flavorful beans, cilantro, melty cheese (and I think a bit of sour cream was in there) wrapped in a soft but firm tortilla. I've never had a more bountiful burrito filled with so much flavor and texture!

My husband ordered Package #2 with carne asada and it did not disappoint - picture delicious cuts of carne asada sandwiched between two fluffy slices of bread, "drowned" in a yummy, unique tomato-based sauce topped with optional veggie toppings. The crispy tacos were so good and they even included an extra amount of carne asada in foil (meant to go on top of the crispy tacos), in addition to four plump limes and two types of red sauce.

I'd include a photo - but we devoured our meals as soon as we got home. This was our first visit, our first order pick-up with them, and we can't wait to go back for more visits in the future! Thank you so much Tortas Ahogadas El Tio team :)

***Her food, off the hook NorCal authentically superb!!
(1rst) the Torta ahogada with sauce, and carnitas the meat. Recommend!!!
(2nd) Tres Tacos Plate with Carnitas. I really dig the potatoes & cheese & jalapeno fill at the bottom of those Yellow hard-crunchy shells! The hot sauce very spicy and, cools quickly leaving a good symphony of fresh flavors!

Lastly y'all-they are open!
