We came here a few days ago for the first time. I was impressed! The place is super clean, the waitress was nice, friendly and helpful. Quick service. The food was pretty solid and flavorful. We will definitely come back and try more of the menu. It's nice to have another very good choice for Mexican Food.

For what it is, this place is good! I got a wet veggie burrito and it was delicious - flavorful and packed with the ingredients. The service was also amazing - we asked for chips multiple times and water and the waitress was so nice about it, excellent customer service. We all enjoyed our food and luckily it wasn't packed on Mother's Day. We really enjoyed our food!

It was my first visit to this lovely, clean, and upstanding Mexican restaurant located right at the border of San Leandro and Oakland on E.14th St. the lunch was delicious and well presented. My combo of pork enchilada, pork tamale, and chicken flauta was absolutely amazing! Our waitress was kind and attentive upon our arrival as we sat down and brought us salsa and chips which was fire! My bf ordered the super steak wet burrito and we couldn't believe the size of it! To top it off he said there was no fat or gristle in the meat which made it more enjoyable. I ate all my food in appreciation of the wonderful hands of the chef who prepared it. I will definitely return to try more dishes and cannot wait to be overwhelmingly satisfied. Give them a try, and thank me later!

The service is always the best here. My family's favorites here are the menudo and the chilaquiles verdes con asada.

Our first time here for lunch, it was recommended by my yoga practitioner. We were greeted with chips and salsa, yum! Hubby had the tamale and crispy steak taco with rice & tasty beans. I had the steak enchilada and tamale with rice and beans. Both entrees came out piping hot on large rectangular platters. I asked for the mole, that's why we stopped by and it was bueno. We'll stop by to try additional dishes when we're in the area. Bonus ~ the ceiling was an architectural feature IMHO, gotta see it. Oh, there's a off strret parking lot in the rear of the business. Bon appetite

Been to this place twice now for lunch and it just gets better and better. I ordered the Chili Verde burrito the first time and it was delicious. Big chunks of pork that melts in your mouth in a tasty green sauce. It was pretty big but I managed to eat it all. A couple weeks later I went back, craving the chili verde. This time the burrito was huge! I can put it down but this time I only managed to eat half. Make sure to ask for the hottest hot sauce they have if you like spicy food. They have an orange sauce made from habeneros that is lit! The place is clean and well kept and the staff is super friendly. Parking lot is in back and it's pretty small so maybe look for a spot on the street.

I struggle with finding Mexican food that is truly authentic in its taste. Being raised first generation Mexican American, I like to benchmark the food I have at restaurants with the way my mother and grandmother cooks, and often times, I end up disappointed because it is not casero. However, San Gaspar Restaurant(SGR), absolutely showed in its taste, presentation, and ambiance that its authenticity. Taste Rice and Beans: I begin my evaluation in the rice and beans, because if they are good, there is a high chance that your main item will be delicious. This was the case at SGR. The melted cheese on the beans was absolutely amazing and you were able to tell the rice was made the day off due to its softness. Mojarra: It was cooked perfectly as it was crispy on the outside and the meat on the inside was very soft and melted in your mouth. It tastes even better when you squeeze lime over it. It tasted very fresh and did not smell fishy. Salad: Red onion, Ice-burg lettuce, cabbage and tomato with a ranch style dressing. Very simple, but tasted very fresh. Lastly, HAND MADE FRESH TORTILLAS-- need I say more?! Presentation It was out together very nicely (see picture) and the serving was not overwhelming. Ambiance Itzel, our sever, was very polite and knew the menu in and out. She was very thoughtful by doing discovery into what we liked which helped me get to the mojarra after. She really made us feel welcomed. One important note, SGR is CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN which gave me even more comfort! It has a high roof, and tables are spaced out perfectly so you can have a nice conversation with your party. Overall, San Gaspar is CASERO! I had a great experience and will be coming again and recommending it to family and friends.
