50 Best Mexican Restaurants near El Cerrito

“Great service and great food. Fast and friendly. I loved it!!“

“The best food in los moles nice people there“

“We ordered breakfast burrito. The portions are large. The burrito was yummy. Only issue is the potatoes. Some were fully cooked others were partially cooked. They are are boiled potatoes that are sitting in a warming tray in water. They make your burrito a little soggy. Aside from that I would definitely recommend giving it a try.“

“the food's good, nothing was amazing but more importantly nothing was bad.“

“my go-to burrito place. Always friendly service. I like my burritos very spicy, and la estrella is one of the few places that will go as heavy on the habanero as I like. Super fast if you order over the phone, too. I mostly eat vegetarian and they make a very good veggie burrito. The fish is good, too.“

“I love all of their food. The presentation is nice. The environment is peaceful for me. I love eating there whenever I get a chance. I have eaten a lot of burritos from many different food trucks and I am happy to report that this food truck is one of the best ones that make very delicious burritos. It sits well in my stomach and doesn't make me feel bad later. I believe they have quality food. They work hard to make it taste good.“

“5 stars! Friendly staff, clean and comfortable, extensive menu, great prices, great value! my super burrito must have had a pound of carnitas, and hubby's mixed fajitas was plentiful as well. Fresh chips and salsa varieties available at the front, along with fresh water, self serve. we asked for containers and got free, fresh chips as well. Let's all support this family business!“

“The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything came out just right, and I really enjoyed my meal.

On top of that, Adriana provided outstanding customer service. She was friendly, attentive, and made me feel genuinely welcome. After a long day at work, her positive attitude made my visit even more enjoyable. Adriana (whose name is definitely not Abril!) deserves a raise.

Great food, great service, and a great overall experience. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“My son and I come here. Usually there is a line, so like anywhere else, you have to be patient. But the wait is worth it. This is the only fast food place I will eat at. The burrito bowl is the best if you want to skip the wheat tortilla.“

“The food here is beyond delicious - every taco we had from carnitas, birria, rib eye, maitake mushroom, chicken tinga - was truly incredible. The quesadilla is a big serving and also very tasty. The horchata is creamy and perfectly balanced, and not too sweet as many horchatas tend to be. The mezcal they serve is wonderful as well. The owners are so nice and service is very attentive. They’re also showing the World Cup right now on a screen. Go support this gem of a neighborhood business!!“

“I thought this place was pretty good, but I wasn’t overly impressed, so I think it’s maybe a little overhyped. Food was good. Service is pretty good atmosphere was all right. We sat outside and it was pretty chilly and they didn’t have the heaters running.“

“Excellent food, wonderful friendly service“

“An incredible dining experience from start to finish. The chips and salsa feature a unique, intriguing flavor that is absolutely delicious, and the carne asada fajitas were flawless. The staff clearly pours a lot of love, skill, and passion into their food.“

“Newest restaurant open in Union Square. Incredible food. They are so kind and give back to the city.“

“Delicious!“

“This is right in the middle of financial district. Not sure about parking nearby as it is hard being SF. Food was decent and portions were big, but pricey as expected in SF. Drinks looked appealing. And, all restaurants are adding a 6% health tax for dining! It's ridiculously expensive to eat out in San Francisco. 😕 Sigh!“

“best tacos 🌮🇮🇹🐍🦅 in San Francisco 🚩🏟📍49ers 🏈 maybe 🤷 😂24th street 💘“

“Fantastic, flavorful, juicy high quality Chicken Verde and Pork Verde Burritos. They got my special request of no sour cream and extra cheese perfectly. The guacamole inside was so fresh, as was the rice, chicken, and whole beans and real Monterey Jack cheese. This is our new go-to spot for excellent Mexican food. And very good prices and service!“

“How cool that this Oakland gem has adapted during the pandemic! All of the delicious drinks and all kinds of new menu items all for take-out in...wait for it...compostable containers...even the bottles the drinks come in! Please support this sustainability-minded, amazing and delicious restaurant. They have a few outdoor tables, too. Go. Go now!“

“The tamales are so good!!“

“This place deserves a higher rating than is average. I've brought many people here recently and have had it 3x times in a row. I love the grilled fish and the seared ahi tuna for the win. I highly recommend this unassuming place for people in the area!“

“It was the friendliest salsa scene I've been to in years--Sunday at four to eight. And the food was gorgeous, and the staff super helpful.“

“Muy acogedor el lugar, perfecto para un almuerzo en familia.“

“Great food, good service, and a wonderful overall experience.“

“Great value and the food is exceptional! Small dining area and no frills, but who cares! I had the super taco and it was outstanding! I only wish I could have had a margarita!“

“Purchased catered food for a wedding rehearsal dinner.. JJ, the catering manager was great. Very helpful. The whole staff was helpful. The food was ready on time and delicious. My wedding party was very happy and couldn't stop mentioning how good the food was. Love the habanero salsa. Chorizo was on point. Best horchata I've had in a long time.“

“This is a family run place with outdoor seating. The food is quick, fresh and tasty. Women members of the family are nicer than the men, who can be clueless and unhelpful. Sometimes the meat is recooked in the crispy tacos which are otherwise my favorite. The flautas are also fresh and good as are the refried pinto beans.I like this casual place a lot—you can buy Russian River Brew next door at Raymnond’s excellent pizza place and sit in the sun with the locals.“

“Omg! this place ess awesome! the chicken & waffles were to die for.. I will be returning.soon!“

“Manitas is just around the corner from me. Not usually into Mexican food, but the huevos rancheros was actually really good. Tacos were decent too, and the horchata is sooo refreshing.“

“We had a wonderful meal here! I got carne asada which was my favorite and queso birria which was good as well. My dad loved the shrimp tacos. The back patio is the perfect place to watch the World Cup! Absolutely keeping this place on my list of favorites! And they were exceedingly accommodating, my dad is allergic to cilantro and they accommodated him completely!“

“Great clean place, the people were very friendly and the food was amazing.“

“This was the best Mexican food I’ve had in almost 15 years. I’m going to be visiting a lot. Good drinks and great food.“

“Awesome food! Would go back again!“

“The food was delicious and fresh.“

“This is a Mexican restaurant in Ghirardelli Square in the Marina District. There was no wait when we arrived for a late lunch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and the views of the Maritime Historic District are lovely. Today was a clear day and the view of Alcatraz was fantastic. The food is very tasty. There is a nice array of variety with a little something for most tastes and the price point isn't awful for San Francisco. I would recommend a nice stop over here to rest your feet and have a bit to eat or a cold drink on a hot day!“

“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“I can’t wait to go back 👍🏾“

“Amazing food! The Quesabirria are AMAZING! 😋“

“Delicious burritos - 3 versions Super, Regular, and Baby. With the Baby, I always have more left for later. I've not tried the other typical (enchiladas etc) Mexican fare, but have no doubt it's just as yummy. They don't take cards.“

“Excellent food- the new barbacoa is 🔥! Ezekiel provided excellent service and helpful recommendations…will return!“

“the food's good, nothing was amazing but more importantly nothing was bad.“

“Pleasant environment, friendly people and delicious food❤️“

“Food is awesome! Tried al pastor taco, sopa, taquito and steak taco. Everything was really delicious and fresh (except chips seemed a bit stale). Fresh yummy guac and salsas too.
Ordered delivery from an app and it came packaged really well too.“

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤“

“Great burritos and service. The pozole (ask for toppings) was delicious. Mostly, I loved sitting at the counter and having a beautiful bay breeze hit my face while having lunch. Oakland as it is. Everyday life is romantic if you can stop and experience it.“

“All of their food is delicious🔥🤤😋“

“Food was Delicious. Staff was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean. Food was all fresh. I absolutely recommend them! We will be back.“

“10/10 highly recommend! Fresh, tasty, quality ingredients prepared and plated to perfection! Portion sizes are worth the price. Affordable, tasty eats with excellent customer service in a lovely outdoor setting. My son and I had the fish tacos and shared a steak & shrimp birria taco. OMG! INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS AND FLAVORFUL, down to the sliced carrots! I was visiting from the East Coast where they know NOTHING about authentic Mexican food! I could eat at La Grana Fish EVERY DAY!“

“The food and service are really good im a local and me and my family come here a lot whenever we arw hungry. I love the nacho fries because they make them with nacho cheese instead of shredded cheddar. Also ive had breakfast burritos at multiple places in the area and the ones here blow any of those out of the water, the regular burritos are good too. All the food taste fresh and cooked with care not assembled quick and sloppy, the whole menu is solid and i plan to keep coming in the future.“

“Amazing service and a small, clean atmosphere. The restaurant seats 18 people max, with one table seating 6, 2 tables sitting 4, and 4 single spots to sit facing the window. The patty was slightly disappointing on the “Cheezburger”, but the fries made up for it. Would definitely go again!“
