Its true... has rocks. Bit one. Just remembered it occured 2 or 3 weeks ago.. thought id let slide... until a second order was missing items... so i saw, someone mentioned pebbles... bingo, now i remember. Please clean your beans, we could break a tooth.

Tacos are very good, but im a little sketched out now.. maybe will come back

I’ve never been very impressed with this place. It is very popular, but my food has always been “just okay”. Especially for the price, I’m not a big fan.

The Baja fish tacos are the one thing I may get again. The batter used on the fish is okay, but the tortillas aren’t amazing.

Really nice location and atmosphere particularly if you sit outside in the evening with the light chains. Food was decent although I found the vegetarian options a bit boring. Although they do offer Nopales (cactus) which is pretty cool.

Vegetarian options: Idk a lot of the vegetarian dishes are just beans and some fried vegetables with tortillas in different form factors. The cactus is pretty good though, which puts it ahead of Gordos taqueria in terms of vegetarian burritos. The cactus burrito is my personal favorite.

Chile relleno was outstanding! Plate with pintos, rice, and salad.

But wow, $21!!

Very loud although no one in there after lunch rush, a lot of kitchen noise I guess.

This is hard as i have been coming here and like the employees. Last night i waited for over 30 mins to realize they forgot my order. Then they tried to throw it together quickly. I came home without food for my family and put my kids to bed late. The fact is the quality here is just good enough and slipping. Even the takeout containers are cheap and flimsy and always spill. Owner here is greedy. Another establishment taking advantage of Solano foot traffic and charging top dollar but squeezing every bit of profit out of the customer as possible and offering bare minimum ingredients.

Instead of receiving sour cream And guacamole On my nachos I received 1000 island dressing And thin avocado dressing. This is unlike food I received in past. The quality of the food did not qualify for a credit or refund according to Talavera which made me publicly express my dissatisfaction!!!

This is a hidden gem located in Albany. I have eaten many salsa in my life time. They have the best variety. The food taste delicious. I have visited this place 3 times in a 5 days span so that we could try the other Mexican dishes. Please keep serving your delicious food.
