Selena Gomez stops off at a family-friendly Mexican restaurant in the heart of Rockridge in North Oakland, Calif., on Wednesday afternoon.

The 16-year-old Wizards of Waverly Place star and her mom, Mandy, grabbed food at Cactus Taqueria and later washed their lunch down with Slurpees from 7-11.

Yesterday, Selena’s direct-to-DVD movie Another Cinderella Story hit stores.

“She’s a little different [from the original Cinderella] by the fact that she’s a dancer,” Selena told MTV about her character in the film. “I think that brings a whole new element to the movie. She’s an aspiring dancer, and she wants to go after her dreams. She sings as well. It’s her achieving her dreams in a different way.”

Selena added, “It’s crazy to see how big Disney can make people, and it’s wonderful. I feel blessed to be a part of the company, and they take care of their kids. I just think it has a good strong foundation to lean on.”
