“ Best burrito and Mexican fare between Bay area and Yosemite! Oakdale is a perfect stop for a quick meal at El agave...try their ceviche , quesadilla and burrito! ”
“ I used to love this place.... I got a pork taco and enchilada, the pork was dry and the sauce was on the canned side. My BF got a wet pork burrito and it was Mostly bland rice and beans... Maybe two tablespoons of the same dried pork I had. And where is that salsa bar! I was so excited to hit this place up again and I was so let down. Come back to us you delicious food I once loved so much!!! ”

“ Best burrito I have tried in my life. And I really mean it. The portion side was quite generous. Besides while you wait, they serve you a complementary side of nachos for free. ”
“ Best taqueria. The food is always delicious, fresh and the staff is very friendly. The portion sizes are large and the free chips and salsa are yummy. We have never been disappointed and come here one or more times a week. They dont have any togo printed menus but you can easily locate their menu online and also when you go inside to order. ”
“ Fast, delicious, not too spicy and abundant. Highly recommend it! ”
“ Ive come back to rate this spot a couple of months after visiting because the buritto I had here was absolutely exceptional. I was just passing through town on a long drive and randomly stopped in for a quick bite, only to be served up the best Buritto Ive ever had. It slapped. Cant talk to everything else on the menu, but I really very much enjoyed my experience here. Unlike my partner who is so bored about hearing about the now legendary Oakdale Burrito ”
