About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Alameda on Lincoln Avenue, El Caballo Wraps is a vibrant Mexican and Latin American eatery that masterfully blends authentic flavors with fresh, made-to-order dishes. This cozy spot is a beloved local gem for those craving hearty, satisfying meals that don’t sacrifice quality or freshness.

The menu is a delightful tapestry of regional favorites, with standout dishes that beckon from every corner. From the soul-warming Pupusa De Loroco with its delicate floral notes to the richly marinated Al Pastor Carne Asada Carnitas Tacos, each bite bursts with bold, well-balanced flavors. The Carne Asada Enchiladas served alongside rice and beans offer a perfect harmony of smoky, savory elements, while the Holiday Chips & Salsa introduce a crunchy, zesty start to your meal. For those seeking comforting warmth, the Rustic Chicken Tortilla Soup and the green tomatillo-based Large Green Chicken Enchilada Soup are standouts praised for their complex, layered tastes and smooth textures. Not to be missed, the Pozole De Puerco is a hearty, soulful broth that invites slow savoring with every spoonful.

Burrito lovers will delight in options like the California Burrito, packed with crispy fries, creamy guacamole, cheddar and jack cheese sauce, and tangy sour cream—a true indulgence. The Burrito Mojado varieties, drenched in enchilada sauce and topped with fresh guacamole and cheese, offer a luscious, saucy twist on a classic favorite. For a truly share-worthy experience, the Super Nachos and Carnitas Platter provide generous portions that satisfy even the heartiest appetites.

To complement your meal, El Caballo Wraps features an enticing selection of beverages. Their Horchata is perfectly balanced—creamy with just the right touch of cinnamon, never too sweet. The extensive range of Aguas Frescas made from fresh fruits like watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberry, and hibiscus flower (Jamaica) offers a refreshing, fruity counterpoint to the rich and savory dishes. Additionally, traditional options like Los Jarritos sodas and imported bottled Coke bring a nostalgic sparkle to the palate.

Atmosphere-wise, this intimate spot radiates a friendly, no-fuss vibe ideal for quick meals or casual dining. While the indoor space is cozy, the outdoor tables create a relaxed environment where customers can enjoy their meal under the California sun.

    Wonderfully nice folks, fresh good food made to order, and quick service to boot. I like that they have lengua as well as al pastor on the menu. Horchata isn't cloyingly sweet and their house made salsas have a lot of character to them, not just heat. Big portion size, but the food never leaves me with indigestion or heartburn like a few of the other Alameda Mexi restos because its not heavy/greasy.

    I just had the most smackin quesadilla from this place. I usually get their soups since they are so fire, like best on the island good, but I was craving a standard staple, the warm and comforting quesadilla, after my unhinged sprint swim workout. I was hungry and I am now so satisfied. They are hella nice in there too. There’s enough room to eat in there or outside if you’re on the go or chillin with someone. The quesadilla was not lacking on the cheese at ALL. It was stuffed actually and it comes with guac, salsa Fresca, sour cream (which the quesadilla is a vehicle for), chips, red & green hot sauce. I’m just so happy and in post-housing that thang dopamine heaven rn so I had to give El Cabillo Wraps their flowers. OH and the watermelon Agua fresca was my lil sweet treat and SO refreshing to sip in the sun while walking home. Gotta remember this place is walkable from my spot and patronize it more. It’s kind of a hidden gem since there are more well known spots on Park st. Hit this place up when you’re hungry and kicking it between park and Webster. Sorry no photo I have a one track mind after swim team and before food.

    Came here for a takeout on Friday night. I put in my order at the counter and waited at the outdoor tables right in front for 5 minutes. One of the staff came outside and brought out my order! The two Agua Fresca -- watermelon and cantaloupe -- were made with fresh melons. So refreshing and delicious. The Carnitas Plato was made with fresh ingredients. The beans were cooked perfectly and the marinated braised pork was tendered and meaty. The tortillas were warm. The food here tastes really good. I'm going to try other dishes on their huge menu in the future for sure.

    The wraps here are packed with flavor and super fresh. The carne asada was juicy, and the portions were solid for the price. The staff was friendly, but service was a bit slow during rush hour. The place itself is pretty small, more of a grab-and-go spot than a sit-down restaurant. Definitely a great option for a quick and tasty meal if you're craving something hearty and satisfying

The tortilla soup is also sensational. I will be going back here again. And again. And again. I love their food! They have Migas for breakfast

    Friendly small spot. Such nice service. I like their tacos and salsa. They usually give us a little sample of their soups and they’re soooo good. Everything tastes fresh. My bf’s favorite breakfast burrito!

    Second time I came to pick up lunch. First time I came for lunch, I tried the Green Chile plate which was fantastic. Good amount of Pork and Potatoes in a really tasty Green Chile and Tomatillo sauce. Beans tasted fresh, and the rice was good. Today I tried the Chicken Flautas with Tomatillo Sauce and Refried beans. All fantastic and well done. Very traditional, not "white washed". One of the better places I have had Mexican food in the Bay Area. Absolutely worth a try!
