This Mexican restaurant based in Concord expanded into Alameda last summer and serves everything from ceviche to burritos and antojitos. They have excellent birria tacos, too. For $5.75, you’ll get a takeout box packed with two cheesy tacos (cheese is a $1 extra), a ton of limes and radishes, and a small cup of broth. Chips and salsa are included on the side. If you’re looking for an affordable birria deal, this is it.

If Canasta sounds familiar, it’s because they have a food truck, and a brick-and-mortar location in Concord. And now the Mexican restaurant has expanded into Alameda’s Webster St. Canasta is serving tacos, burritos, and breakfast dishes like huevos rancheros, and smaller plates like empanadas and sopes.
