About
El Potrillo Restaurant & Bar is listed at 400 29th Ave in Oakland, a Mexican restaurant with a bar attached and Javier Davalos named as manager in the records this page was built from. Recent online listings suggest a restaurant still trades at that corner of Alameda County, but they show a phone that differs by a single digit from the one on file, so confirm the current phone and the address before you make the trip. This listing was compiled from public business records and is awaiting the owner's confirmation.
What to expect from a Mexican restaurant and bar
A business of this kind in Oakland usually serves plates built around grilled and stewed meats with rice, beans and warm tortillas, alongside tacos, burritos, tortas and seafood dishes. Weekend menus at many such kitchens add slow-cooked soups and stews that sell out by mid-afternoon. The bar side normally pours Mexican beers, micheladas and tequila drinks, and it often stays busy around televised soccer matches.
Takeout is common, and a growing number of places in the city also offer delivery through the usual apps.
Planning a visit or a group meal
Opening hours have not been verified, and smaller Mexican restaurants in Oakland often keep shorter days early in the week, so call before you go. Seating at neighbourhood spots like this is usually first come, first served; for a birthday or a team dinner, phone a few days ahead to ask whether they can hold tables or set out a group menu. If you avoid pork, lard or dairy, ask how the beans and tortillas are prepared, since recipes differ from kitchen to kitchen. Bring identification if you plan to order at the bar. Parking near 29th Avenue is mostly on the street, so allow a few extra minutes at busy times.
Diners from around the East Bay
The restaurant draws on Oakland first, with Alameda just across the estuary and Berkeley, Emeryville and Piedmont a short drive away. San Leandro and Hayward lie to the south along the bay, and San Francisco is a BART ride across the water.
The number on file is 510-261-1108; check it before relying on it. If you are Javier Davalos or the owner, you can claim and update this listing through the chamber.
