French toast is below average. Their bowl is good but nothing extraordinary.

We were on a Breakfast Burrito binge. We were trying as many top-rated breakfast burritos as possible. We came across this place while waiting for another place. This place was better than the rest!!! Absolutely great!!! Go here as good, if not better, than all the other top-rated burrito places. They got our order wrong, but it's still AMAZING!!! I asked for toasted and Acado instead of guacamole. But they did not toast and put guacamole.

Love this spot! Very generous portion sizes. Giant burritos packed with flavor. The carne asada is my favorite. Their guacamole is always fresh and every order comes with a small side of fresh tortilla chips. Ate here at least 5 times now and they’re consistently delicious.Additionally, their horchata is very authentic and delicious!

University Taqueria is a hidden gem that deserves every bit of its high rating. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the warm, inviting aroma of Mexican cuisine, and it only gets better from there. The menu at University Taqueria is a mouthwatering journey through Mexican flavors. Their tacos are a work of art, and each bite bursts with fresh, vibrant taste. The service here is exceptional. The staff is friendly and attentive, making you feel like a valued guest. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you're treated like family.

The tacos are the bomb! I've tried pretty much every protein and all are good. Employees are really nice and food comes out pretty quickly. Definitely recommend.

The food is good but it’s pretty hard to enjoy when halfway through you find hair at the bottom of it . Lord have mercy.

The location of this restaurant is where El Pollo Picante used to be, before joining up with Berserk Burger and moving across the street. The inside of the store is pretty small and can't really accommodate more than 5 people in terms of seating. However, it was alright as we ordered our food to go. I ordered the California Burrito and they asked me for my choice of meat and beans, so I got carne asada and pinto beans. The burrito is honestly massive, coming with a small bag of chips and two sauces as well. It's really juicy and is a good example of what a California Burrito should be. Each bite into it got better as I went along with my meal. It does get really oily by the end, but it's most likely due to all the juices trickling down the burrito as time went on. The chips were lightly salty and while I wish there could have been more, I was able to space them out pretty evenly throughout. I solely used the green sauce, which had a nice spice level to it. The service was really quick as there weren't that many people around ordering anyways. The restaurant is located on University Avenue, so there is street parking, but you may have to go out of your way to find that parking if the spots are taken up depending on the time of day.

I'll never say no to tacos! I placed my order on snackpass around noon on a Friday and my order was ready in 10 minutes. I got three tacos for $3.50 each and a churro. For meats, I got carne asada, Al pastor, and pollo asada. The carne asada was my favorite. They did not skimp on the filling! Lots of meat, which was topped with a lot of red onion and cilantro. The red onion was really fresh. The tacos came with a bag of chips and 3 types of salsa. The churro was also really good. Crispy, sugary, fried dough? What's not to love. The interior is pretty small. There are a few small tables inside and a couple small tables outside. Personally, I'll always be getting my orders on the go. Overall, I would come back again and am curious to try other items on the menu.
