Oakland's Fruitvale district holds the Bay Area's deepest taqueria culture along International Boulevard, anchored by mid-20th century Mexican shipyard migration.

Mexican Americans migrated to Oakland from New Mexico, Texas and Colorado for World War II shipyard and railroad work. By the 1960s Fruitvale was a center of the Chicano Movement. Today International Boulevard runs taquerias, pupuserias and tortillerias for thirty blocks, with later waves from Oaxaca and Guerrero deepening the regional range.
