Best burrito EVER. Fresh, flavorful, and the chile verde is seasoned to perfection. The chips are thick and crunchy and the salsa bar is outstanding - my favorite is the salsa borracha.

The sopes are under "specials" for a reason — they are super special! My favorite Mexican dish in Berkeley. Also good sangria here.

Al pastor burrito + fajita style + cheese + guacamole + sour cream = happiness

Veggie quesadilla is the bomb! A little too heavy on the lettuce on many dishes but otherwise great food down near Berkeley.

Excellent carne asada tacos but also perhaps the best salsa verde in the Bay Area
