$25 super burrito that’s gonna ruin your next trip to the baño. Not to mention it was mid… & no chips??? Miss me with all that.

The food was just ordinary. You can get a Margarita there, which is a plus, and the place looks great, but for the money, I'd stick with La Mission down the street.

The food was absolutely delicious—the enchiladas and potato tacos were especially good. The servers were very friendly, and the ambience was lovely. The desserts, however, were the highlight for me. I tried Mercado Pot De Crème. Highly recommend checking it out!

Very authentic. Very fast and attentive service. Been here several times. A must go to if you are in the Berkeley area. Reasonably priced as well.

We stumbled upon this awesome Mexican restaurant by chance and were totally blown away.

The food was incredible, the service was super friendly, and our dishes came out really fast.

The value is unbeatable – highly recommend!

Quick tip: You have to try the quesadillas... they're to die for! 🫠

This place is now on our list of best Mexican food. The reviews are totally legit—everything we ordered was absolutely delicious!

We started with the guacamole and chips and chicken empanadas, both fantastic. The guacamole came with an extra spicy salsa that added the perfect kick. For mains, we had Carne Asada tacos, Carnitas tacos, and a beef enchilada. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, and the meats were perfectly cooked. Even the enchiladas, which can sometimes feel heavy, were flavorful without being overwhelming.

The service was a perfect 10/10—friendly, attentive, and quick. The restaurant is spotless and beautifully decorated with a clean, modern Mexican vibe.

If you’re looking for an upscale yet authentic Mexican restaurant, this spot should be at the top of your list.

Honestly might be one of the best sit down Mexican restaurants I’ve been to. We went on a Tuesday, and it wasn’t that busy but that atmosphere was calm and intimate. There were still some big groups around us but it never felt loud and the tables are small but it still was cozy and slightly elevated.

It was me and a friend so we ordered 2 tacos from the Taco Tuesday deals. The chicken taco and the spicy pulled pork. The chicken was honestly so good. It tasted like shawarma chicken; juicy and packed with flavor. The spicy pulled pork also packed in a lot of flavor. They also had a special of the day for $10 which was a blue corn tortilla quesadilla. We also got the Mercado nachos with spicy salsa (wasn’t too spicy). All of that ran us to about $25 for each of us. Every single bite from this place was sublime. Their plating is simple but adds to their vibe of authenticity. Will definitely be back here.

My experience was really great! Everything was amazing. The drinks and the food were delicious. The customer service was great and everything was done in a timely manner. The hospitality was good. The place was clean and the decor was very nice. I highly recommend this place. There are plenty of servers. I was very impressed for the first time and I will go back in the near future. We just walked in but you may want to Call and make sure you don't need reservations.

Sweet spot! Lively and stylish, excellent food and service. And looks like a wonderful spot for a private event in their upstairs area.
