“I would never eat off of another taco truck. This Taco's Rodriguez, makes the best authentic Mexican food. I have been eating here for as long as they have been there. I don't eat Mexican food just anywhere. I'm picky when it comes to my Mexican food, and I have never been disappointed by these guys.I will continue to eat this food, and continue toreccomend all my family and friends to them, if they want good authentic Mexican food. 100%“

“Excelente servicio y por supuesto la comida es verdaderamente deliciosa viajamos por una hr de San Francisco a Vallejo pero valió la pena el marisco es muy fresco y riquísimo todooooo!! los platillos mexicanos como el Molcajete es muy rico. Al principio ellos ponen chips crujientes frescos y salsa en tu mesa y tienen una barra de diferentes salsas las cuales puedes disfrutar con tus chips, el ambiente te hace sentir como en casa ellos son muy amables y al final te llevan unos ricos churros con crema de cortesía. Volveríamos una y muchas veces más a este lugar.“

“My fave place to grab n go some homemade muy rico tamales! It's literally a window you order at, limited street parking, but you can get thicc delicious tamales hot and ready to eat or to keep for another day. They last a week in the fridge. But mine never last that long. Chicken is my fave, the cheese is good too. Veggies is my least fave but I still like it! Huge portions. Quality people and hearty tamales. Go get you some from Tamaleria Azteca!“

I’ve tried the shrimp pasta, chilaqiles, birria, menudo, camarones a la diabla and I must say that everything I’ve have been very delicious. The lady at the counter was so nice and welcoming. I highly recommend this place.“

“$16 for a huge steak burrito with added guacamole to go, and it was phenomenal. Easily one of the best burritos I’ve had in ages. Came with a little foil packet with I’m guessing pickled onion, carrot and a jalapeño, and a little cup of red and green salsa. Everything was fantastic, and I will be back again. Parking wasn’t too bad to find a spot, and there’s some tables outside for seating.“

“What an amazing, family restaurant! My wife and friends try to order from here once a week. They're always generous with their chips, salsa, and extras. Food is always fresh and you can tell by the dairy they use! The place is huge too with an under rated bar where we ate and watched the Warriors. Such an under rated restaurant in the bay!“

“I have been coming for years to this restaurant , it has its own parking lot however you can usually find parking on the street. The food reminds me of when I visit family, everything tastes homemade. I usually order their burritos, their mole.“

“So happy to find a delicious and friendly restaurant that doesn’t close in the afternoon in my neighborhood. We have been there several times in the past couple months and I’m still trying new things on the menu. My husband tried the ribs which he said were the best he’s ever had and half the serving went home with him. It was huge! Desserts are exceptional especially the flan. I’m still exploring their vegetarian options but so far my favorite is their version of chili relleno. Come and relax and enjoy the food and friendly atmosphere!“

“Moved to Pinole from San Diego 1.5 years ago and we’ve been so disappointed with tacos and Mexican food we’re used to from San Diego and living so close to Mexico. Finally!!!! This place cares about the quality, the cut of meat and how the food is cooked. The owners applies high end standards to food and service. Fantastic birria, tortillas, distinctly tasty salsas, clean tacos, everything was so good!!! We can’t wait to come back and try everything. Fast and kind service, family run business. You must try this place!!! Thank you!!!“

“Love this place, the food is fantastic, very much a taqueria. The Cameron’s taco are fantastic. Everyone that works there are really friendly, you can tell they like it there because it is the same faces.
They moved in and painted the place bright pink. They replaced another favorite that was not able to survive COVID.
If you get take out, check you got your chips, they love to leave those out of your bag. 5 stars if not for the many bags of missing chips.“
“There is a second part to this review, which is 1 ⭐️ . I will get to that in a moment .
Let me start off by saying I am a burrito guy. I realize this place opened in my neighborhood and decided to give it a try after reading the reviews. They’ve got a couple of reviews talking about how the food wasn’t that good etc. I live off of burritos and that is far from the truth.
The burrito itself was very tasteful. The seasoning was perfect. The rice is good. The shell was cooked exactly how most people would like it.
Let me get to the one star part of My review now.
First at the counter, the guy worked in the counter, gave him my order. It was hard for them to understand kept repeating, and I gave them specific directions slowly on how I wanted my burrito made. When you tell somebody no beans and then two minutes later they come back and say you don’t want no beans no I don’t. When you tell somebody I want cheese and then they come back while they’re sitting there typing something in and say do you want cheese. With that said that’s minimal here’s the bad part. My wife cannot eat dairy I told the first person three enchiladas and no dairy, no cheese and no sour cream. I said all three of those things however I should’ve only been able just to say no dairy and they should understand that, but I specifically said no cheese and sour cream.. Specifically said my wife cannot have dairy. After talking to the lady in the back going back And fourth. The lady comes out and continues my order. She’s really a hard worker and tries too hard but I think it’s a slight language barrier. She repeated to me no sour cream and no cheese and I said correct as I’m leaving getting my order she opens it to show me, how the enchiladas were and I said oh is that sour cream she said yes I said no sour cream. My wife cannot eat dairy no cheese and she goes oh no cheese?. So she takes the tray back rather than make a new one she scraped the sour cream out of the tray and was not aware of that at the time when I got home, I had to wipe it out with paper towels. I think they personally should’ve grabbed another tray possibly remade the order if it was the neighborhood of dairy. That’s just my opinion, but the food was great. Have a good day.
I went well before lunch place was not busy only one other customer there so no reason to get mixed up here. So I don’t want to dock them for the food and trying just making people aware who can’t have dairy. Be careful.“

“5 Stars – Flavor Explosion at El Sabor de Guadalajara!
This place is next-level delicious! I ordered the steak, chicken, and shrimp fajita mix and it came out sizzling hot and loaded with flavor. The meat was tender and juicy, the peppers and onions were perfectly grilled, and the aroma alone had me hyped! Paired with fluffy rice, creamy refried beans, and warm tortillas on the side—it was the ultimate comfort meal. Quick service, generous portions, and authentic flavor in every bite. El Sabor de Guadalajara is hands-down a must-try in Richmond!“

“Found this place years ago and it quickly became a favorite. When I first discovered it, it was hands down the best food at an amazing price. Now you kinda get what you pay for prices have climbed quite a bit but the food is really good.
Check out the mole plate, if you like mole it's the best around.“

“I love the quesabirria (comes with consume), especially on cold days, the pupusa rebueltas (comes with curtido and a tomato sauce that's hot on cold days and cool on hot ones). The carne asada street tacos are great too (not a lot of gristle), and I sometimes have carne asada nachos to change it up a little. I come here for lunch several times a month and they recognize me (and my order). And they're affordable!“

“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.“

“Easily, my favorite place to swing by for a breakfast burrito after working out. Cassave is an unassuming place tucked away in a strip mall. They have a nice selection of Mexican and El Salvadorean foods like pupusas. Vegetarians have a couple of options to satiate themselves. Their potatoes are incredible, as is their hot salsa. Enjoy the breezy salsa music while you wait for your food. Highly recommended! Parking is an issue though.“

“One of the best mexican food places in Berkeley. Their salsa is always good, and they're very friendly and the service is fast.
Their cocktails are also excellent and not expensive. I can't recommend this place enough.
If you don't know what to get go for something with the mole (mo-leh) poblano, if you like sweets, guajillo (gwa-hee-yo) If you like a little spicy kick.“

“Looking for something special for my son after some medical stuff, saw the reviews and decided to take a chance! Great little hole in the wall place, amazing food (definitely filled us up!) Chicken burrito, wet ground beef burrito and sope y enchilada. Chips and salsa with a Pina colada to top it all off. Price was WAY less than I expected ??“

“I've been coming here for years, and it’s still one of my favorite spots! My daughter and I absolutely love this place. I recently opened a salon in Berkeley, so it's great to have this gem nearby. We always order the fish tacos with rice and beans—absolutely delicious every time! Consistently great food and friendly service. Highly recommend!“

“These are some FLAVORFUL tacos and burritos. The meat is clearly cooked with love and slowly because it's not dry and well seasoned. The steak tacos and shredded chicken burritos ? ?. We flew back to Texas with them. Yup, just that good.“

“I had a team building event at Tipsy Putt Emeryville for my team of 20. It was the perfect location for a Thursday afternoon team building event. We had three teams and we played best shot on hole. The staff was professional, friendly and it was all so easy to book, manage and execute. The team loved it! highly recommend.“

“CHILE VERDE ENCHILADA WAS AMAZING!!!
Service was friendly & quick.
I don’t think it was intentional, and the chairs all being slammed around so the floor could be swept an hour before closing was … uninviting. (That’s the kind of thing I’d expect an hour after closing to remind customers to GTFO and it had the same effect on us.)“
