Bombera Oakland Reviews
Really the best Mexican in east bay.
Try the carrot appetizer. Mind blowing. The fish tacos are crispy and delicious. Duck and pork also really good. Hard to get a reservation but really worth it, a bit loud but plenty of outdoor seating.
The best of the best la mera verdura del caldo the roasted
The best of the best la mera verdura del caldo the roasted chicken de chupete ... I'm gonna come back ... Sin dejar de mencionar las zanahorias mmm MMM ...
Great for groups - definitely make a reservation.
This place is popular for a reason. Everything is delicious. Every dish and drink punches above its weight class in terms of flavor. It's not just Instagram-ready but incredibly executed. Love going family style but you don't have to do

My best friend said she was craving Bombera so we came last night! Everything was great, from the service to the food. The flavors are always on point and everything we have tried from the menu has been so good. The carnitas was one of my first tri

Bombera was our first dinner on a group trip to the Bay area. Friday night, we all have that excited first day of vacation energy. Unfortunately Bombera didn't add to that, but rather took away from it. I enjoyed my food, but didn't enjoy t

Brought my husband here for his birthday and we both enjoyed it. They have a creative menu with plenty of options for meat-lovers and vegetarians alike. The space feels simultaneously open and airy due to the high ceilings, but cozy because of the se

I was finally able to visit Bombera this weekend which was highly recommended by my Baby Sister. She is all about eating healthy and organic foods! I made reservations for 3 at 7:30pm! Reading all the reviews regarding wait times if you don't

Went on a Friday for a date night after seeing this place on "Check, Please!". Overall, really good food and vibe, but the service was not it (more on that below). There were also a few touches that I thought could have been better. Spicy

Had a fantastic time celebrating our friend's 50th wedding anniversary tonight! Service was warm, caring and attentive. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but the watermelon salad and whole roast chicken were the clear winners! Margaritas go down w
Everything at Bombera is delicious.
The salads taste fresh, the meat perfectly cooked, and the drinks are refreshing. And eating in a beautifully restored firehouse is *chefs kiss* We love it here!
I had an extremely disappointing experience with Bombera.
The customer service is abysmal, and the owner is rude and unhelpful. I made a reservation for a party of 6 and needed to change the number of attendees. Despite calling and emailing them days in advance, I received no response until just hours befor
Creative and bold cooking in a gorgeous space (bombera
Creative and bold cooking in a gorgeous space (bombera means firewoman, and the restaurant is housed is a converted fire station). Parking is a NIGHTMARE.... but the food is reasonably priced. I was a little disheartened by just how spicy some of the

Chef Dominica's paints a picture in your pallet with her choice of menu items. You can taste her brilliance in each mouth watering entree. My favorites: Chips, salsa, guacamole Chicken Pozole (verde and rojo). Know that the Pozole has a pork broth
Too much cinnamon in the mole.
I recommend the beets over the carrots. And carne asada over the pork
The food was amazing and the service was terrific.
The restaurant has really enlivened the neighborhood. There were options to seat either in or outdoors. The restaurant has a very relaxed vibe.

The food at this restaurant is on fire and the name truly fits... it sure needs a "bombera" it's an explosion of flavors! For starters I liked the fact that, if you don't have reservations, they have a separate waiting area which u can have
Food was delicious.
Great service. No attitude. Got a seat on Thursday evening with no reservation. I will definitely be back to this local gem.
Food and drinks were good.
Service was timely and friendly. It's a busy restaurant so make reservations.

I haven't even eaten here, but I'm giving them five stars for kindness. We had a reservation for six, but a family member was in an accident and ended up in the hospital in serious condition. They cancelled our reservation without blinking, even th

Everything was great, service was awesome and food was delicious. The smoked trout tostadas were on another level of yum! Great place to go.
Mediocre food, awful service, noisy place.
Apart from that it was fine. How it got a Michelin Gourmand amazes me. Never coming here again.
I recently visited this restaurant for the first time since
I recently visited this restaurant for the first time since they moved from Swan's Market. The new space is beautiful, with lots of light and a sleek, modern decor - it's really delightful. But the best part of this newish restaurant is the food. We
One of the best spots in the Bay Area for elevated Mexican.
The environment is lively, and can flex for a fun night out with friends or cozy date spot. The food is simple and well made. Favorites are definitely the yam quesadilla, fish taco, and spiced carrots. If you can't make a reservation, it's worth th
Food was absolutely outrageous.
Don't miss the beet appetizer! Went with a group and ordered a little bit of everything. It was all delicious!
Food and service were both great, nice vibe.
We sat inside, as requested, because it was quite cold outside--BUT inside was VERY LOUD. Unpleasantly so. We would have stayed for dessert had it not been so noisy.
Service was terrific and suggestions were delicious.
Festive location for our family celebration
Amazing dinner.
Spicy carrots were fantastic something I'll never tasted before. Swordfish with salsa verde was delicious, duck too. Make reservations because it fills quickly.

I went here today after having had this place bookmarked for a special occasion for a long time. It completely delivered and surpassed expectations! Best thing on the menu for me were the taquitos! So so so good and authentic. The salsa verde slaps
Just what Mexican food should be like.
Wonderful, elegant, sophisticated, elevated Mexican food. The way it should be. Drinks? The same. Beautifully prepared and nicely presented. About 95% of the people that work there are women. The ambiance is welcoming, warm. Highly recommend it.

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner here tonight! New favorite, and will definitely be a repeat customer. The restaurant itself has such a nice airy ambience, and I love all the decor. We had cocktails (Vampiro, Paloma) two appetizers (smoked trout tostada,
The food was amazing, hands down.
We had the yam quesadilla and asparagus mole and whew it was amazing. The service left so much to be desired. As we were seated we were asked if we wanted chips and salsa and guacamole. We said "we'll see, give us a minute" and next thing
Best HOT New Restaurant
The food is excellent. We started with chips and two dips. Chips were made there and fabulous. We had a salad with persimmon and pomegranate with a surprise of jicama. We shared veggie tostadas that melt in your mouth. Finally we had swordfish with r

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bombera Oakland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bombera Oakland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ImmortalStep65, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ImmortalStep65 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ImmortalStep65 for any questions Peter may have as ImmortalStep65 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ImmortalStep65 now uses their connections at Bombera Oakland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ImmortalStep65 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ImmortalStep65 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ImmortalStep65's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Bombera Oakland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
