Latino restaurants fuel Oakland’s food reputation ----
In recent years, Oakland has truly become a food destination that has earned attention and respect in the Bay Area and nationally. This is not tourism or business marketing hype - many unique and innovative restaurants are impressing food lovers and experts who choose to explore new eateries and new tastes.
A showcase of Oakland's culinary revolution is Oakland Restaurant Week, which runs from January 18-27. Presented by Visit Oakland, the ten-day dining event provides visitors and locals with an opportunity to taste some of Oakland's best food, with special meals and pricing from the city's top restaurants. Fixed price menus at $20, $30 and $40 will be offered for lunch and dinner at more than forty restaurants, including several that feature Mexican and Latin American dishes.
