Oakland has exactly one place on the list so far: Pena's Bakery, honored by San Francisco Chronicle.
-
Rank 1. Pena's Bakery
Mexican Deli
The telera rolls are baked fresh every morning at this Fruitvale panaderia and deli, which means the tortas built on them have a structural advantage before anything else is added. The chorizo con papas filling gets made a day ahead so the potato and spiced sausage can concentrate, then it's layered with avocado and a chile de arbol salsa that earns its reputation. Two indoor tables, a loyal crowd of regulars, and a sandwich that sells out early.
