“Its a fast food joint, so atmosphere rating is kinda limited by that. I gave 5 stars otherwise because I do a lot of custom orders and this place is good at fulfilling them. They will grill burritos or other soft shell if you ask (true for any taco bell, in theory). It's my go-to, in quieter area than Fitzgerald one.“

“Best carnitas tacos anywere!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service“

“The best!!!I highly recommend this place ..Best food and great customer service..Our favorite is quesabirria🥰🥰🥰.“

“great food and service!!!“

“$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.“

“All of their food is delicious🔥🤤😋“

“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“OMGAAAAAWD ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE. the food is not greasy or fatty. The chicken tacos are amazing and full of flavor. The steak is tender and not fatty at all. The staff is super friendly. They play music and its a chill place to hang out. The salsa is fire!!! For once I dont have pics lol I eat the food before I remember to take photos. Lol thats a good sign hahahhah you cant go wrong eating here. Real authentic Mexican food.“

“We usually order for pick up and today I finally had the privilege of dining in. 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.“

“Excellent Chile Rellanos and margaritas Vibe is right! Staff is great! Definitely a place to be !“

“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!“

“The only thing I would change, is that the music was quite a bit loud in there for inside diners, and I would say, there is no place to eat outside, so, I am suggesting that you either can tolerate the volume of the music inside, or take your food home to a much quieter environment.“

“Reminds me of my grandma's food, so comforting and delicious every time. Cooks are from Guanajuato and this place is authentic. The birria caldo is delicious, carne asada plate is bomb with handmade tortillas, the mole enchiladas will blow your mind, and chile relleno was fire! 10 out 10 every time!“

“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.“

“No frills Mexican restaurant. Small. There’s like three tables and three employees but the food comes out super quickly. Red and green salsas for free. You pay extra for chips. I had the quesabirria and it was great. $21 with a soda. $25 with tip. Satisfying. My coworker got tacos and they looked decent. She was pleased.“

“GREAT FOOD, WONDERFUL SERVICE. EMPLOYEES ARE FRIENDLY. YOU ASK FOR SOMETHING EXTRA LIKE CHIPS, SALSA, LIME, THEY PROVIDE THEM WITHOUT HESITATION.“

“I ordered from DoorDash. Really good. Forgot my birria doble, but I will go back. Thanks 🙏🏿“

“Try out the Jalisco special burrito is really good!! Service was good and friendly“

“Amoooo sus tacos boy casi cada sabado!!! Muy buenos sobretodo los de tripa k en muchos lugares no tienen% recomendados!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Great smelling restaurant, bringing back child hood memories.“

“the best mexican restaurant in Berkeley“

“Great Food Friendly service“

“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 ??“

“Highly recommended, creative way of serving carnitas tacos. Delicious!! Menu is simple and easy to understand and we got a cookie with our order. Finally a legit place in Orinda“

“QuesoBirria tacos!! 😋 yummy!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“My family and I have been going to El Sol since 1984. The food is excellent, reasonable, large selection, quantity and the staff are so friendly, it’s like one big family. Their enchilada sauce is my favorite!“

“The cashier was very friendly and patient explaining to my daughter what certain foods had in them since she is very picky so that was a plus that she did that. We were served our food really fast and overall everything was delicious I had the torta with shredded pork with a vampiro juice.“

“It’s the best Restaurant in town came with Family and we had a great time! Food was great and drinks 🍹 we all loved the dessert as well! Just amazing service and food! My Favorite for sure! 2914 College Ave Berkeley Ca“

“The food is in good season, well prepared and the portions are large. I really recommend the roasted chicken catering menu, it is delicious and delivered warm. The beans are excellent. The "fried mojarra" dish is not mojarra. It is tilapia and almost no bones compared to a mojarra.“

“This taco truck is located at Broadway St Vallejo next to a small bar, smog shop, and tire center. The best and only spot to eat while waiting for your vehicle at the next door businesses. Limited street parking, people come and go, tables and chair with shades available. They have generous portion and reasonably priced mexican taco burrito nacho quesadilla torta, drinks like soda and bottled water are also available. I had the taco chicharones and the super nachos. The taco is good, the super nachos has beans cheese tomato sour cream and my choice of meat carne asada steak.
Overall I recommend this place if you like to try casual food truck.“

“Pupusas and shrimp burrito were the bomb. Not to mention, the super burrito was freakishly huge Was my first time trying them out and I really like that they paid attention to the notes in my order. Will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“Have been here a couple times, and it’s always utterly delicious. Plus, the folks who work their are so kind and friendly. I asked for veggie tacos one time, and not only were they flavorful and overflowing, but they even checked to see if I wanted their fresh handmade tortillas — anyone can do a great meat taco, but veggie tacos are harder to pull off without actual spices and attention to detail. Salsas are fantastic. I am in love with this place.“

“muy ricos tacos y económicos 😅 excelente corazón de tacos!!“

“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.)“

“los burritos de pollo están muy sabrosos“

“Best case of mistaken identity ever!

I walked in mistaking it for Vallejo Brewing Company right after they closed for the night, but the menu was so enticing I had to come back during business hours!

The red beans and rice with Cajun shrimp is an INSTANT comfort food go-to, and not to start drama, but a certain barbecue place on the block could learn a thing or two about making amazing cornbread from this chef! The perfect, fresh baked, sweet and buttery portion of cornbread I've had since my mom's recipe.

The $7 cocktail special was also amazing, not too powerful but not so watered down you couldn't feel it!

The gal working the counter was sweet as can be both times I've been in as well.

I can't wait to bring everyone I know here!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Flavor!

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

Epale Taqueria & Seafood absolutely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the welcoming vibe and delicious smells set the tone for a great meal.

Food: Everything was bursting with flavor! The tacos were perfectly seasoned, and the tortillas tasted fresh and homemade. The shrimp and fish tacos were especially amazing—crispy, juicy, and full of authentic taste. Don’t skip the house-made salsas either—they really elevate every bite.

Service: The staff was friendly, fast, and genuinely cared about our experience. They checked in regularly and offered great menu suggestions. It felt like we were being hosted by family.

Atmosphere: Laid-back but vibrant. Clean, colorful, and full of energy without being too loud. It’s a great spot whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for a full meal.

Final Verdict: Epale is the kind of taqueria you want to keep coming back to. Fresh food, bold flavors, and outstanding service—definitely one of the best Mexican spots around. Highly recommend“

“UPDATE: Tacos Arabes!! So good!! Highly recommended.

This review is for their new truck on Roosevelt and 23rd. You gotta get the carnitas with the handmade blue corn tortilla. It’s absolutely ridiculous. So damn good. Unlike anything I’ve ever had. Lots of good fresh avocado in every bite.

They also have a delicious pecan agua fresca, which is unlike anything I’ve ever had before. Just wow.

Their salsa and their pickles are on point.

They also have lots of other fun regional stuff that you don’t find at other taco trucks. Pambazos, cemitas, huaraches, tacos arabes, etc. I can’t wait to try them.“

“This taqueria and its companion restaurant next door, Mely's, add up to wonderful cuisine and an affordable go-to experience, whether it's breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or just a between meal snack. It's a family place, and the whole family makes it happen. The owner, Daniel, is a trained and accomplished chef, but there's not a snooty note in the place - just excellent food and a warm welcome. Prices are as reasonable as he can keep them without skimping on the quality of the dishes. We visit very regularly!“

“Everything here is absolutely delicious! highly recommend!“

“Deliciosa comida recomendadisimo al 100% y muy buena atencion“
