Cassave is my neighborhood pupuseria/taqueria. We have been going for years always friendly, quick and tasty! They have some great deals on tacos and burritos in certain days if the week that also makes it affordable to feed a familia in these over priced days and times.! Some of our favorites: the al pastor, carne asada, carnitas and pollo asado are all hella good. The salmon burrito and surf and turf (shrimp al mojo and asada) are also fantastic as are their daily rotation of aguas frescas.. I also love their yucca frita con chocharron! When in N Oakland Cassave is the spot for good Slvadorean and Mexican comida tipica!
The place is colorful and kitchy. I'm a pescatarian but I generally like to eat lots of vegetables at every meal. I was pleased to see grilled vegetables on the menu and ordered one taco with just the grilled broccoli, zucchini, spinach, onion and mushroom (I asked to leave out the bell peppers which were also available). That veg taco came with black beans. I also ordered a fish taco with the same grilled veggies added on top. As you can see they were generous with the veggies and they were also delicious. This is a great place to stop by if you're vegetarian, and of course they have the many meat options if you want them. The green salsa was super tasty and well balanced, and went perfectly with my crispy piece of fried fish. (I'm sure you could have it grilled if you prefer.)
Cassave catered at my kids' school (EBI) annual party in Emeryville and everyone loved the food and fun staff. We also stop by this place for after-school snacks & take-out & leave with fullhappy bellies.
I was looking over the online menu for the Cassave Taqueria, and got interested in the "Oakland Taco." Hmm, what could that be? So I ordered the: - Oakland Taco - Baja Fish Taco - Reg Nachos, No Meat $$$ Total was under $20 I went to pickup my food, and I guess they thought I was a food delivery guy because they just handed me my order. Okay, so I liked the tacos. The Oakland Taco is a super crispy taco shell, filled with ground beef, sour cream, lettuce, and cheese. Simple, super crispy,and loaded with meat. Price at about $5, it could use a little more spicy kick. The Baja Fish Taco was good, and it was prepared in a familiar fashion. Breaded and fried Cod, served over lettuce, pico de gallo and Mayo-chipotle aioli. Served in a soft tortilla. Also priced at about $5, this taco nearly came apart as I ate it. The Regular Nachos, w/ No Meat was okay. It doesn't travel well as takeout. Made with tortilla chips, beans, cheese, and pico de gallo. When it was fresh the chips were crispy. When I got home the chips were soft and soggy. Oh well, eat your nachos right away! Nice price at $8.75. Located at San Pablo Ave & 54th St in Emeryville. Small shared parking lot. Good Food at fair prices! Support Local Business!
