This place serves very good food! I have been here three times now. Two times I got regular chicken burritos with black beans. Full of flavor and fresh ingredients. But I just went randomly for taco Tuesday. Magical! Why you ask? Well this time I orders the 4 tacos special with a consumé and a horchata. I got two chicken and two birria. The chicken tacos were soft and simply made but oh so good. The birria tacos we crispy which I wasn’t expecting but were so perfect with the meat being the star of the show. The consume I wasn’t expecting but omg so amazingly deep in flavor. It was the best consumé I have ever had…ever. So delicious. The horchata was on point. The cashier was cool. Come to this place for a slamming meal!
Wow this place is amazing! We tried the carne asada burrito and quesabirria tacos. The quesabirria and consume is where it’s at. So flavorful and the consume wasn’t watered down. The carne asada was fresh and seasoned well. It comes fully loaded with rice, beans, veggies and salsa. It was huge! Plus they have a salsa and toppings bar! Plus grab your own tortilla chips. We took it to go but they sell alcohol it’d be a great place for chilling with tacos and beer on the weekend or let’s be real during the week! The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. I can’t wait to go back!
A taco craving led me to this highly-rated spot, but the experience was a bit of a mixed bag.
Atmosphere
The taqueria offers a clean, quaint setting with both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, you’ll find booths and a salsa bar, creating a casual dining atmosphere.
Ordering Experience
Ordering is a breeze with options at the counter, via a digital kiosk, or by checking out the wall menu. I opted for the kiosk out of habit, even though there was no line – a bit quirky, I know!
Menu Highlights
I went for variety with their street tacos ($3 each):
– Carne asada
– Al pastor
– Chorizo
– Carnitas
The horchata was a pleasant surprise – not too sweet and refreshing, though it could’ve used more ice.
Food Quality
The tacos were somewhat underwhelming. Despite the decent tortillas and the addition of avocado and red salsa, the meat lacked distinctive flavors. Even with extra salt, it was hard to tell one taco from another.
Value for Money
At $3 per taco, the price seems a bit high for the quality offered. I left feeling like I might explore other options next time.
Service
On a positive note, the service was friendly and efficient. My order came out in about 7-8 minutes.
Final Verdict
While the atmosphere is pleasant and the service is good, the flavors didn’t quite meet expectations. For taco enthusiasts seeking more distinctive tastes, this place might not be the top choice, but it’s worth a try if you’re in the area.
If you’re a longtime Alameda resident and miss the days when Juanita’s was a Park Street destination, the food and atmosphere at Casa Revolución Taqueria is going to melt your heart. Authentic, delicious, Mexican cooking at extremely low prices. Ultra clean dining area with fully stocked salsa bar and seating for toddlers. My spouse and I stopped in for lunch with our smaller boy and absolutely stuffed our faces for $30 and change, including two dinner plates, a kid’s meal and two sodas. The woman who runs the restaurant is helpful, friendly, and very kind. We will 100 percent be coming back with the rest of our family. Thanks for the awesome meal!

Easy 10/10 for me. Fresh and flavorful as you can get. Fresh cooked complimentary chips and the salsa bar put it over the top!
