“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“It’s the best Restaurant in town came with Family and we had a great time! Food was great and drinks 🍹 we all loved the dessert as well! Just amazing service and food! My Favorite for sure! 2914 College Ave Berkeley Ca“

“Try the newest special the Cajun Tropical Wet Burrito! It’s so yummy and amazing! 😋I highly recommend this restaurant. Also, great customer service and quick service. Great quality with great prices! 😉“

“Gordo's is just the frigging best. I know it is actually "Gordo Taqueria", but I've called it "Gordo's" for 25 years and I can't change! You guys are great!“

“I placed my Drive-Thru order on the mobile app before a chore run, well ahead of time, as I have done for years, at 6:21pm. I pulled up around 7:01pm and was handed my order immediately. A little confused, I shrugged it off though soon realized my food was cold and soggy.

I noticed on the bag that it was ready for pickup at 6:27pm, well before I was there. Upon returning to inquire, I was told that you cannot specify a time for Drive-Thru, and had to argue/insist that it's Taco Bell policy to not start making the order until the name is given at the Drive-Thru.

I had checked the website before leaving, so it felt extremely disrespectful to be argued with around the matter because they didn't want to admit the mistake. They finally gave in and remade my order as they should. I understand trying to get ahead of orders, but you shouldn't break policy to do so or this kind of thing can happen.

The situation was appropriately remediated and I feel bad if I stressed anyone out (thus the 4-star), thank you.“

“We found this place by asking where the best burritos were. Everyone we asked said to come here. You will wait in a long line but it moves fast and absolutely worth the wait! We got ours to go but there is some inside seating. Hands down the freshest most delicious burrito I've ever had. They are huge!“

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤“

“Went here as a solo diner and had a wonderful experience! I loved most of the dishes, with the standouts being the savory flan and the mole with quail. A couple of the dessert dishes fell short for me, but overall this was one of the best meals of my life. I did feel a bit too full around halfway through the meal — perhaps the pacing was a bit too fast for me, or there were too many filling dishes in the middle. The service was amazing, very attentive and kind wait staff. They even cleaned and boxed my abalone shell for me after I asked to keep it. Overall, I’m really happy to have experienced this meal. Thank you Californios!“

“The food here is beyond delicious - every taco we had from carnitas, birria, rib eye, maitake mushroom, chicken tinga - was truly incredible. The quesadilla is a big serving and also very tasty. The horchata is creamy and perfectly balanced, and not too sweet as many horchatas tend to be. The mezcal they serve is wonderful as well. The owners are so nice and service is very attentive. They’re also showing the World Cup right now on a screen. Go support this gem of a neighborhood business!!“

“I thought this place was pretty good, but I wasn’t overly impressed, so I think it’s maybe a little overhyped. Food was good. Service is pretty good atmosphere was all right. We sat outside and it was pretty chilly and they didn’t have the heaters running.“

“The food was excellent, everything tasted so good and fresh, I loved their molletes and chilaquiles, I never tried before a chilaquiles with habanero sauce but it was super good, their cafe de olla was great as well. They have friendly staff.“

“I love it when a first try of something new to me is a sensational first impression as well! friendly staff and great food! I'll be back for sure!“

“Quaint & good food. Friendly restaurant & staff.“

“the chicken is the best around and the al pastor is to die for“

“We were looking for the best taco spot in SF and this place kept popping up. it was just what everyone described. The food was amazing, and they served big portions. The meat was flavorful. If you dine in they give chips and salsa while you wait for your food. I got the carne asada platillo and my gf got the alambre platillo and it came with avocado which is really rare. we also got a taco to try it and it was really good. The service was fast and the people were really nice. The vibe is 10/10 couldn’t beat it. Would definitely recommend for an authentic Mexican restaurant experience“

“Excellent food, wonderful friendly service“

“Overall this is the best Mexican restaurant for many blocks around and it’s not particularly close. Super nice addition to the area.

The best thing here is the hot salsa, made from dried chilies, it’s really great but as far as I can tell they only give it to you if you ask, and it comes in a squeeze bottle.

I usually like carnitas extra crispy but theirs are very soft and super good.“

“This is the food truck spot for tacos in San Francisco’s Mission District. The tacos are loaded and the sauces are nice and spicy. I love all the veggie’s they add on the side as well. Easy to pick up to-go or chill at the tables they have outside. I got 4 tacos for $17. Well worth the price and always happy to support small local businesses like this. This was a great way to celebrate Cinco De Mayo.“

“An incredible dining experience from start to finish. The chips and salsa feature a unique, intriguing flavor that is absolutely delicious, and the carne asada fajitas were flawless. The staff clearly pours a lot of love, skill, and passion into their food.“

“Fantastic, flavorful, juicy high quality Chicken Verde and Pork Verde Burritos. They got my special request of no sour cream and extra cheese perfectly. The guacamole inside was so fresh, as was the rice, chicken, and whole beans and real Monterey Jack cheese. This is our new go-to spot for excellent Mexican food. And very good prices and service!“

“How cool that this Oakland gem has adapted during the pandemic! All of the delicious drinks and all kinds of new menu items all for take-out in...wait for it...compostable containers...even the bottles the drinks come in! Please support this sustainability-minded, amazing and delicious restaurant. They have a few outdoor tables, too. Go. Go now!“

“We went in for early dinner at 5.30pm on a Saturday evening. It was pretty empty when we arrived. We started off with queso and chips which was pretty good. We had the mushroom tacos which were one of the best damn vegetarian tacos I have ever had in US!! Sweet potato tacos were pretty good too. Slightly pricy but the food and service make it worth it. Will definitely come again!“

“Muy acogedor el lugar, perfecto para un almuerzo en familia.“

“Great food, good service, and a wonderful overall experience.“

“Been going there since the 70’s We loved their fresh made tortillas and masa for tamales. I did notice today the tortillas weren’t the same. I pray the masa hasn’t changed when we make our Xmas tamales. For the past 27 years I drive from Antioch to San Francisco for our masa.🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️“

“Kiosk for ordering, so no human interaction. I can’t really compare what I ate with other Mexican restaurants because of dietary restrictions. We had tacos: hand made blue corn tortillas! Meat had a charred flavor and was of good consistency. Quesabirria eas nice the consume was on good too. Overall great experience.“

“Los tacos muy ricos y las salsas muy ricas también“

“The tamales are so good!!“

“This place deserves a higher rating than is average. I've brought many people here recently and have had it 3x times in a row. I love the grilled fish and the seared ahi tuna for the win. I highly recommend this unassuming place for people in the area!“

“It was the friendliest salsa scene I've been to in years--Sunday at four to eight. And the food was gorgeous, and the staff super helpful.“

“This was the best Mexican food I’ve had in almost 15 years. I’m going to be visiting a lot. Good drinks and great food.“

“Great value and the food is exceptional! Small dining area and no frills, but who cares! I had the super taco and it was outstanding! I only wish I could have had a margarita!“

“Walked in one day and wanted to try some nachos. Had a great time. It was good fresh food. The service was amazing and the views from the windows are pretty. The restaurant is also decorated very beautifully. Will come back again to try the other things I was suggested. But unfortunately just the day was not just for me, which was decent.

Don't mind the to go box in my photos. I didn't want to dirty dishes when I was hoping to take most of the Nachos to go :)“

“Bea made me and my friends and our visit so enjoyable! She was warm, and always checked in on us to make sure if we needed anything she was there. Her friendly attitude and great service really stood out and made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be asking for Bea the next time we come back and that will be very soon!“

“Purchased catered food for a wedding rehearsal dinner.. JJ, the catering manager was great. Very helpful. The whole staff was helpful. The food was ready on time and delicious. My wedding party was very happy and couldn't stop mentioning how good the food was. Love the habanero salsa. Chorizo was on point. Best horchata I've had in a long time.“

And they were exceedingly accommodating, my dad is allergic to cilantro and they accommodated him completely!“
