The food is good, the service is ok. There is a small terrace. A favorite for my kids. This time I got the mole and it was gooood. My children love the tortilla soup and the quesadilla.

Came for tacos on their Taco Wednesday and it was underwhelming. The carne asada was dry and the fish was a frozen fish rectangle. Definitely from your own opinion, but it was my definition of a good taco. Below mid IMHO.

I've been getting their quesadillas for almost 15 years now and the consistency and quality has always been perfect.

Their pozole was okay, I’ve had better around the area. It was missing a depth of flavor. However, I am not happy that they got my order wrong. I ordered a chorizo burrito and got some kind of ground beef burrito. It definitely wasn’t chorizo. They could give a little more tortilla chips with the order. I thought it was skimpy as other places would fill the bag with chips.

It used to bum me out that my local taqueria wasn’t very good. I had stopped coming here years ago but came recently for convenience sake and was so happy to find the food is now very delicious!!! Evidently the ownership changed 3 years ago and with it came new recipes. Service great too.

Our usual go to Mex place was closed for the holiday so I researched Google maps and found this place that looked interesting and more than a simple taco shop. What a great selection of the kinda Mex food you might crave. Very authentic food and so tasty. Our family loved it! We had enchiladas, carne asada wet burrito and carrot cake, with chips and salsa for a start. They serve alcohol! Good to know right? Just go! We'll be back ASAP!

Probably my favorite Taqueria in Berkeley!My boyfriend and I get take out from here at least twice a month and we both order the specialty burrito which has mole poblano inside and pickled onions and jalapeños. The portions are good and the salsas are absolutely mouth watering. I would reccommend trying the Tomatillo or the Avocado Salsa.
