Marta Tappero

Never disappoints me. One of the best carne asada Ive ever tried. Super friendly . Great cute terrace outside. Guac is not so good. Good beans and plantains !

Vanessa

Good quality meat (hormone free, free range when possible) homemade aqua frescas (no instant mixes!) and authentic Mexican cooking. We're talking crema not sour cream ! A real treat.

Augie Sanchez

Mole is my goto for any good Mexican restaurant . Their Mole Guajillo is indescribably delicious, best ever tasted! I'm never disappointed when I have LA Mission.

Kyle Channel

Vegan burrito on point, just order vegetarian burrito , minus cheese and sour cream sub guacamole , with refried and black beans and all 3 salsas !

Jessica Kessler

This place is awesome! Get the fish tacos (go light on the chipotle mayo ) or a burrito - don't forget to add in the cheese and guac .

Abhishek Kar

The chips and guac are the best I've had in Berkeley. Try their mole sauces for some interesting tasting dishes

Matt McGunagle

I'm moving from the area and I shall miss this place. Super tasty Mexican food with a slightly ghetto (but sunny) patio to eat your noms.

Daniel Arce

Best Mexican food in Berkeley ! Not greasy and flavorful. Burrito is pricey once you add on extras like cheese and sour cream but totally worth it.

You want a burrito : Chili Colorado, black beans , hot salsa , no cheese .

Omid Sarvian

Best Horchata but burritos are not my favorite. Everything else is great. I usually get their salads . They're all really good.

Ken Orvick

Expensive but the food is high quality and you always leave feeling satisfied. Go for the barbacoa or carne asada .

Kevin Wenderoth

I love their chile colorado burritos with pork and refried beans . Reminds me of New Mexican food . So money.
