“todo está riquisisimo y los precios de la comida super accesibles.. me encanta“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best carnitas tacos anywere!“

“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“I picked up a special order 3 speed bowinkle gangly wrench with all the factory attachments at the tool shop, and asked the guy there if the food next door, at Sol Taqueria was good.
Any good, he yells..It's about the best in Crazy Town, just ask anyone!
Well, since I was parked right in front of the joint, and had a great recommendation, I blasted in and had the most amazing pork tacos ever, but it was the refried beans that were out of bounds! They were extremely flavorful, creamy, and as smooth as smooth can get. Sol Taqueria is a 5 star experience! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“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 food and service“

“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!“

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

“All of their food is delicious🔥🤤😋“

“great food and service!!!“

“To me, these are the best burritos and churros inside of the city of Richmond. I don't think it is close. I think they have very good fresh food. The service is great. The location is small and eating outside is best or to use this for takeout. But you will not regret the amazing food that they make.“

“Great Food Friendly service“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 best mexican restaurant in Berkeley“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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 🙏🏿“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“This is the bomb!!!! We just had our X-mas gathering with 31 people and I can say the owner was very accommodating, pleasantly to work with. The food was so delicious specially the QUESABIRRIAS, everyone went crazy over it. The menu is great,I highly recommend this place. Will truly come back for more! Come on let's show some support for this family owned business!!!!“

“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.)“

“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.“

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

“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 ??“

“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!“

“This Place has by far the BEST TORTAS you can get these day's at a restaurant! It's Always"s clean...The lady at the register is very nice! They Greet you when u come in! They don't try and charge $2 for sour cream and all those hidden fee's! One day they will find a better location! Food is Fresh! Perfect!!!!“

“So good! Very glad we found this place. The food is good and not overpriced and is always presented beautifully.We don’t like to park too close to the street so we always use the lot behind the restaurant. The specials always a good deal too.“

“I ordered the hoe meat but I added onion and stewed chili because that's how I like it and everything was SUPER good?? I'm going back soon?

I ordered the carne azada and added onions and chile because I personally prefer it with that and the whole meal was AMAZING??? will definitely be coming back?“

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

“the food is soo delicious & comes out at a reasonable time. I got the enchilada & Chile relleno combo & it was just superb. the staff are very nice & attentive, there was a loud table nearby which was kind of annoying but it has nothing to do with the restaurant. I loved it & want to go back asap!!“

“DAMN GOOD MEXICAN FOOD! I don't care what anyone says in the reviews, anyone giving this place less than a 4.5 does not know what they are talking about. This place is literally one of the only good places to eat authentic Mexican food. Their regular burritos are 10.95 and they are literally the size of other restaurants that charge you 13$ for "super" burrito and them shi be nasty. Bomb ahh asada fries, the guacamole is so good, it has a perfect mix of lime, pepper, salt and avocado. The tacos taste the same as the ones do in mexico, you want authentic? This place has tacos that are literally the same thing that they sell in Mexico, literally where tacos come from! (Specifically the ones from guadalajara, those are the ones it reminds me of). Burritos are fantastic. The asada is the best from every other taco place. If you want to find a better place you have to drive at least 30 more minutes south/southwest. This is an honest review by a real Mexican, not a gringo that only knows shell tacos and chimichangas.“

“The best food in los moles nice people there“

“I loved the hospitality that I received from Chef Henrik's and the food that was delicious, every bite was an explosion of flavor, everything was very good.

“This food truck is located in a parking space of an old closes furniture store across Walmart Vallejo. They have tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas, sopes, ceviches. Meats include: Asada/Steak, Pastor/ Spicy Pork, Carnitas/ Fried Pork, Pollo/Chicken Cabeza/Head, Buche/Stomach, Tripa/Tripe, Lengua/ Tongue.
They also have drinks available. I tried their regular carnitas burrito and regular tripa burrito on a late afternoon weekend. It's not the best comparable to others I have tried but affordable. Too much beans in my opinion. Will come back again to try others. This business accepts Cash only. Tables and chairs available.“

“Great service and food !“

“QuesoBirria tacos!! 😋 yummy!!“
