Our Story

Real Flavor.
No Shortcuts.

Tucked on Whipple Road in the heart of Union City, Whipple Taqueria has been dishing out honest, soul-satisfying Mexican food that keeps the community coming back again and again. This is the kind of place where recipes come from tradition, not trend.

Pull up, order a plate of tacos or the legendary King Kong Burrito, and wash it all down with house-made horchata or a fresh agua fresca — no syrups, no shortcuts, just the real deal.

"Love this place, great food and a great owner! I usually get the burritos or quesabirria, both of which are great, but they also have freshly squeezed juices and fresh produce sometimes. Definitely recommend!"

"Easy to find and easy parking. Fairly priced fresher cooked foods. Drinks have way better flavors than anywhere else because they aren't watered down. Only place in the bay that I know serves bucce — and it's fireeeeee."

"The quesabirria was REALLY good — tender beef, melty cheese with a nice pull, and soft tortilla soaked in consomé. The consomé itself was delicious! This will be my new regular spot for quesabirrias."
