Restaurants around the OSA area: review

"here are some other restaurants around the area!" --Triece kushner, 7th grade

Hello! Are you new to OSA and the Uptown area but love going out? Well, this is the article for you. While most OSA students loved Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe, sadly it is gone (RIP), so here are some other restaurants around the area!

catered to you

This restaurant is a classic for OSA as it is less than a block away. It is a small restaurant with a big personality. Their fries are the bomb. The flavor with the hint of spice. The texture amazing. There is limited seating in the front though. 

“Catered To You fries are the bomb! If I feel like getting a guilty pleasure I get the chicken and fries!” says Literary Arts Chair Jordan Karnes.

“The way [the cook] prepares her food, her fish! I always get her fish,” says secretary Ms. Jones. 

“I would say Catered To You would be an eight out of ten,” says Security guard Mr. Secrease.

Xolo's 

Xolo’s is the restaurant next to Newberry. It is a really good Mexican restaurant. It has creative, delicious food. There are burritos, tacos, and other really good food. You do get an OSA discount if you show your OSA student ID. Once you step into Xolo’s, you don’t really feel like you are in Oakland anymore. The culture really shows.
“I go to Xolo for a quick fix, so I can just run over there, I get the OSA discount. I really like their crunchy taco and the battered fried shrimp taco with coleslaw and some tangy sauce. A tip is to go to the back patio.” says Karnes.

Bellys

Bellys is a really laid-back cafe for Asian, Mexican and American food. They have a lot of flavor and creativity.there food and vegetarian options. Though it is kinda expensive. It is really good! 10 out of 10. It has open seating. Some seating is inside some is outside. 

The Korean fried chicken bowl is amazing. So it the Belly Burger. I would recommend getting the lemonade. The food, the environment, the location and the service all amazing. 

“I get the KFC Korean fried chicken bowl it was so good, or I get the fries,” says senior Isabela Jacques Penner.

“I get the California fries,” says Literary Arts senior, Justin Walton.
