They were among the first in Iakland to have a draft list beyond the major domestics for one. For a long time, they reigned as the best Mexican food in Oakland

Wait, do you actually think they invented the concept of getting people drunk on margaritas while they eat cheap combinations of tortillas meat and cheese?

Imagine writing this comment and thinking it's a good point.

Go apply at Fuel and Fuddle, they'd love to have you. (I can't confirm this, just a hunch)

Because they have good food despite your experience

I can’t believe the group is actually called “Big Burrito” I thought people were using it like the term big oil but ironically lmao

Because it was the first, and at the time they were doing something that no one else was. And regardless of your opinion of the food, lots of people had a great time eating and drinking there over the years.

Imagine doxxing yourself in an attempt to get retribution against a company that has already let you know it doesn't care about you.

Stop. Why are we continuously mourning the death of one location from a mediocre (at best) chain?

From what I understand, they didn’t exactly treat their employees well during lockdown. I feel like these two things are related.

I thought Mineo’s put their pepperoni underneath the cheese? Or is that just the Lebo location? Anyone else can chime in…
Maybe you legit did run into a brand new guy on the job. I have been eating Mineo’s for 20 years (albeit almost exclusively from the Lebo location) and I’ve never had one bad bite.
Also, in case you aren’t aware, Aiello’s stole their original recipe from Mineo’s (which makes your opinion on both somewhat humorous, but not atypical!)

I HIGHLY recommend Fiori’s. Not everybody who visits me from out of town loves Mineo’s like some of us yinzers do…but Fiori’s usually is a can’t miss, even from ahhta tahners.
Lastly, I’d go to Mineo’s in Lebo and give it a 2nd shot. You can get it by the slice, just in case.
Cheers and good luck!

Thick cheese is great, it was really the crust that gave it a frozen pizza/school cafeteria vibe. That and the pepperoni wasnt melted into it at all, just sort of resting on top. I will try Fiori's and report back.
So far the best pizza I've had in town was from Aiello's.

When cigarettes went up to 57¢ a pack, people said if they ever get to $1 a pack I'm quitting. Thinking they'd never go up to a buck, obviously.

They do not. It’s Taco Bell quality AT BEST.
