The best restaurant in the East Bay is a neighborhood treasure' that prompts inter-continental travel
"Other voters had similarly high praise, if not the cross-Atlantic commute. Love the outdoor seating and the unusual and traditional options. It feels like an Oakland vibe, commented Adrienne of Oakland. Excellent elevated Mexican food, great service, and great vibe. Love this place! It's a neighborhood treasure, wrote Shoshana Finacom of Oakland. Both the outdoor patio and spacious indoors are lively and festive, complimenting Rice-Cisneros' style of seasonal, original takes on Mexican classics featuring California produce and products."
"The ambience, service, and food are top notch every time. The duck mole and the chocolate pot de creme are not to be missed, wrote one Nosh Awards voter. Other standouts include the charred beets with whipped pumpkin and sesame seed butter and carne asada huarache supreme, with filet mignon and crispy Oaxacan cheese on an heirloom blue corn tortilla."
Nosh readers cast votes prior to Thanksgiving, and the 2025 Nosh Awards winners are being announced daily through Dec. 12. A Nosh Awards voter flew 5,000 miles from London to try Bombera's salad. Bombera, in the Dimond District and led by chef Dominica Rice-Cisneros, secured Best Restaurant Overall for a second consecutive year. Voters praised outdoor seating, a lively Oakland vibe, elevated Mexican food, excellent service, and festive indoor and patio atmospheres. Signature dishes noted include duck mole, chocolate pot de creme, charred beets with whipped pumpkin and sesame seed butter, and a carne asada huarache supreme with filet mignon and crispy Oaxacan cheese.
