Doña Tomás Review

A neighborhood favorite, this spot in Oakland's up-and-coming Temescal District serves seasonal Mexican fare to a hip but low-key crowd. Mexican textiles and art adorn walls in two long rooms; there's also a vine-covered patio. Banish all images of taquería grub and tuck into starters such as quesadillas filled with butternut squash and goat cheese and entrées such as albondigas en sopa de zanahoria (pork-and-beef meatballs in carrot puree). A fine selection of tequilas rounds out the offerings.
