We love this cute little authentic Mexican restaurant.
Obelisco is a cozy-feeling family-run place, with friendly attentive staff, (Thank you Zack!), bright new-looking decor, indoor seating for around 50, and outdoor seating for around 10. We were seated quickly in the evening (Oct 2025).
We started with rich fresh quacamole enlivened with onion, cilantro, and lime, and a nice bite of serrano. The freshly made chips are thin and crispy, with nicely lightly spicy red pico sauce and green salsa. We loved our strong balanced bite-y mango margaritas, a smooth rich non-alcoholic lightly cinnamon horchata made with house-made rice milk, and a wonderful refreshing house-crafted lime&tequila horchata!
We had terrific perfectly-tender juicy halibut tacos, a sweet lightly flavored fish, served with black beans and rice and thin sliced radish circles. We had rich robust intricately-seasoned pollo mole, with dense flavoring and tender a juicy chicken-quarter. The chicken chile verde was a treat i hadn’t tasted before, chunks of tender chicken with some lasting heat from the tangy green tomatillo sauce. These two were presented rather simply, sneaking up on us with their bold authentic flavors. We happily stayed to enjoy their house-made silky creamy flan under caramel sauce for the lingering sweetness that matches our experiences here. Experience”s”? Yep. We visited three times during a seven-day trip here!
Obelisco made us feel like welcome family. They are open during dinner hours, and promise lunch service soon. We got one of several parking spots out front, and there’s street parking to the east and north, with some competition from nearby places. This is great place for a casual meal or for an occasion.

We went for my Friend’s Birthday. The food was really good. There drinks are good as well. So the only issue was the service was kind of slow. I think they would need one more server on busy days. 2 of our group didn’t get there food until after 20 min later after the other 4 were already served.
Update: So we went back with a Bigger group and everything was great. Service was really good especially for a group of 8 on a Friday. Got the Ceviche and Carnitas. Both were really good. This is a great spot will be back.

Adriana was the best. Actually all the servers were we just learned her name. As a long time lover of all Mexican food, I’m unfortunately watching calories (sad) but we needed to celebrate. The food was outstanding. I had crispy tacos. Yummy! My wife had quesadilla and I stole a bite. Yummy too. Drinks were uniquely great. A new favorite for sure!

Carne Asada was one of the best steaks I’ve had at any restaurant in a long time!
Even though it was busy and we didn’t have a reservation, we were seated and served quickly – and everything was amazing!
Great service, delicious and well made cocktails, maks sure to ask for the habanero salsa because it’s the best salsa they have by far (IMO)
I would recommend calling in so they reserve you a table as it’s been getting busier and busier as word gets out about the quality of food, drinks, and service
Forgot to pake pics the first time and the second time just took one table pic – third time I got takeout and should’ve taken pics before destroying the plates
Carne asada burrito was also delicious, chicken enchilada (tinga chicken) was also very good (not my first choice but it was not my order so that makes sense lol)
Just don’t miss out before they get so busy they have a line down the block

It was such an honor to be invited to the friends and family opening night at Obelisco, and I’m incredibly grateful to have been part of such a special evening. The hospitality was heartfelt, the space was beautiful, and the food—absolutely phenomenal.
The carnitas were tender, flavorful, and perfectly crisped on the edges—everything you want in a classic dish done right. The chicken mole was rich, deep, and beautifully balanced, with that complex, velvety sauce that stays with you long after the last bite. The salsas were bright and bold, each with their own personality, and the refried beans were smooth, savory, and satisfying—comfort food at its best. And don’t even get me started on the guacamole—fresh, creamy, and perfectly seasoned.
Obelisco is clearly a labor of love, and it shines through in every detail—from the food to the warm, welcoming energy of the team. Can’t wait to come back and support this beautiful new addition to the community!

Absolutely love this place. The guacamole alone puts it in my top five ever! Always fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent. I’ve been a few times now and have worked my way through most of the menu, and everything has been great. They also keep adding new dishes that quickly become favorites, which makes every visit feel fresh. Easy spot to come back to again and aga

This is definitely the Mexican restaurant to take International traveling friends / family who have never had Mexican food. Not your typical recombination of the same 8 to 10 that we see in most Mexican restaurants. Each dish is completely unique and has different sauces and flavor combinations.

Been here twice for brunch, the food has been amazing. Everything down to the salsas and handmade tortillas is top tier (as someone who eats a lot of Mexican food!) The owners are a super sweet family who have been serving food in Oakland for many years now; always happy to support a local business!

To call this opening anything less than grand would be an understatement. I arrived about an hour before closing and the place was packed. I was received warmly by the host and seated and served shortly thereafter. The carne asada was tender and juicy, the salsas are to die for. The Pachamama Sour was delicious and came with the most adorable little marigold in it. What’s more was the added perk of meeting the artist of the painting in the main dining area. Can’t wait to come back!

What a great addition to the neighborhood. Reasonably priced, sit down Mexican restaurant with excellent food and drink options. Food has been refined over 17 years at their Fruitvale location (which has since closed). Welcome to the neighborhood. Looking forward to many meals.
