My cousin and I had breakfast together. I chose the enfrijoladas, as they are not commonly found on menus, and she selected the tropiqueno. Unfortunately, our order was quite disappointing. The enfrijoladas seemed to consist primarily of refried beans spread over beans and tortillas. Additionally, it was apparent that the beans used were canned and dried. I would not choose to return for breakfast. The one item that was good was the horchata coffee with a shot of espresso.

One of the best breakfast burritos in the east bay!
Also Tacos El Dorados - big, crispy, and tasty!

I live in the neighborhood and have been eating here regularly for 13 years.
Everything is good, but unfortunately inconsistent. If you order the same $25 dollar burrito (super expensive btw) 100 times it will be constructed and taste slightly different every time.
Sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's the best thing you've ever eaten. But you pay a LOT every time.
Time of day seems to have a big influence on whether you get the sloppiest meal ever thrown together for money, or perfection.
Employees seem very annoyed to be working there and dealing with customers.

Always freshly prepared quality ingredients. Their Carne Asada is especially good but they don’t miss on whatever you order because they care about quality. You can taste it.

They took my to go order, I drove 20 minutes out the way, and they acted like I never ordered. crazy bad service here, attitude and all. avoid this business
Very little actual Mexican pastries. No empanadas. No Mexican cookies. No Maranos. But what they have is very good.

I love this place in Berkeley. Any time I am missing home and authentic flavorful food, this is my spot to come. I come often and it never disappoints. The quality of food is superb, service is always friendly and fast. I have come with my friend who is very picky with food and even he loves the food.

Tucked somewhere between the caffeine-fueled chaos of UC Berkeley and the gray-haired hippies still clinging to the revolution through their PBS tote bags, Casa Latina sits quietly, doing God’s work.
I drop in maybe once a month, and every time, it’s like pressing pause on the noise outside — the stressed-out students, the existential buskers, the vegan dog-walkers who look like they haven’t slept since 2012. Inside, it’s clean, warm, and efficient in that old-school, we-actually-care kind of way.
The food? Relentless consistency. Everything that hits the table tastes like someone still gives a damn. I’m a burrito guy — not because I’m chasing novelty, but because their steak burrito is a wrapped act of divine intervention. The balance is perfect — tender meat, rice with soul, beans that don’t apologize for being beans. The steak? The best I’ve had in a burrito, anywhere. Period.
Service is quick, precise, human. They don’t hover — they just know.
And then there’s the Pan de Muerto. Every October and November, I go hunting across the Bay for the best Day-of-the-Dead bread. Most are dry impostors. Casa Latina’s version, though, is the real deal — buttery, aromatic, touched by the spirit of somebody’s abuela. The best this side of the Rio Grande, no exaggeration.
So here’s my unsolicited advice: shut your laptop, stop pretending to study, and get yourself to Casa Latina. Disconnect from the madness of San Pablo Ave and let a burrito remind you that life, at least sometimes, still makes sense.

You are not going to get better Mexican food than this place. My daughter introduced me to it and I'm hooked. I drive 35 mi to eat here and it's worth it. Great service. Great food. You just can't ask for better.

I really like their mole, and that they have tamales. Great food and atmosphere, charming restaurant, convenient street parking.
