Connie's Cantina - Oakland

I’ve been there twice for lunch. No one home but Connie. We sat on the patio which was cool and comfortable. We ordered quesadillas and they were delicious! Maybe they didn’t look authentic Mexican but they were a welcome change to the same old Mexican lunch. Prices are very reasonable and I definitely will be back for dinner.

Connie is great and I feel honored to have such a gem in the neighborhood! The place looks nice with cloth napkins but is one of the most affordable options around, so I think a lot of people miss out when they're looking for a casual dinner. The food is lovingly prepared and the decor is comfortable, if a bit retro (which I appreciate). I am usually vegan, but cheat for the cheese in her vegetarian corn burrito!

Connie's food is exceptional! It's not your typical Mexican cuisine - she makes everything from scratch which may take a bit longer, but it's worth the wait. Enjoy her delicious flavors on the patio with a beer or sangria for a unique experience. If you're a fan of Tex-Mex, this may not be the place for you. However, if you appreciate bold flavors and unique sauces, Connie's is a must-try. With years of experience in South America and Louisiana, you can taste the expertise in every bite. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

This restaurant is a disaster waiting to happen. The meat looked questionable and the kitchen was dirty. I ordered a burrito and a torta, but watching the cook prepare the food made me feel sick. It seemed like the meat in the burritos was old and undercooked. I'm surprised this place hasn't been shut down by the health department in Alameda County.

I had a delicious burrito during lunchtime at this restaurant. The taste was exceptional and it was priced at an average of $10. Thank you!
