Happy Holidays! Winter Additions, A Look Back at 2022, & Top 10 Items

2022 has been a BUSY and AMAZING year for us. It was April 6, 2022 when we opened the doors to our new location here in Old Oakland at 468 8th Street, where La Guerrera’s Kitchen used to be. The turn-around time from the last day of dinner service at our old location on Telegraph Ave to the first day of service was about 1 month and 1 week!

We’ve seen many familiar faces from our previous location and have met a lot of wonderful, new customers. Thank you for allowing us to cook for you offering you the best of our hospitality! Your patronage means the world to us and without you, we wouldn’t be able to do what we’re most passionate about.
