“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“All of their food is delicious🔥🤤😋“

“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.“

“Stopped here for lunch after doing some shopping and the food was delicious. The portion sizes were great and the staff were super friendly.“

“Excellent food and service“

“The BEST quesabirria place in the east bay! I drive all the way over to Richmond from Oakland when I want quesabirrias, there’s something special about the spices in the meat and the perfectly done tortillas. One of my favorite comfort foods. The steak tacos are also absolutely delicious! Would give 10 stars. Also everyone there is super nice!“

“I ordered the chilaquiles rojos with steak...they were excellent!
The sauce was not overwhelming with spice or hot, which gave me room to add just enough to make it perfectly right to how I like it. The tortillas had fresh taste and they were still crispy, even though the chilaquiles had plenty of sauce. The steak was good quality beef also.

Overall, the best chilaquiles I've had in a very long time. I will definitely come back again and based on this meal...I highly recommend it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏻“

“I ordered the steak tacos with onion cilantro cheese sour cream and salsa the first visit. Now that I came twice I’ve decided they’re consistent and the food is amazing. The steak burrito is amazing and the staff was incredible patient and respectful“

“great food and service!!!“

“Great Food Friendly service“

“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“

“Love Juanita's taco. Been going here my whole life. The owner's family and employees are so nice. Food is always good and fresh. Burritos so big that you can eat one and be full the whole day. Affordable low prices at a good quality 🔥💯🫶🏼“

“Possibly the best burrito I've ever had. I have eaten thousands of burritos and have a few favorite spots so I'm biased to my favorite spots and ready to be dissapointed when I try new ones. This burrito was perfection. It was huge and flavorful. The ratio of all the ingredients was perfect. Every ingredient from the tortilla, to the cheese, to the meat, to the rice was delicious and shined on its own. Put it all together and I was very pleasantly surprised and highly recommend this establishment. Service was attentive and friendly. Hibiscus Agua fresca was very refreshing.“

“Huge menu, awesome food! I love Talavera's breakfast burrito and mole enchiladas. I always have enough for leftovers too. While I usually do to-go orders, I always hit the fantastic salsa bar before I head home.

I am a Gordo's burrito girl through and through, but occasionally I have to get my Talavera fix. It's a little pricier than my go-to burrito spot down the street but the options at Talavera are a lot more vast.“

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

“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!“

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

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

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

“We were a little nervous about trying this restaurant because of the bars on the windows, but it turned out to be a great experience. The food was delicious and tasted very authentic. I didn’t catch our server’s name, but he was an older gentleman who provided excellent service and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back!“

“the best mexican restaurant in Berkeley“

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

“Try the newest special the Cajun Tropical Wet Burrito! It’s so yummy and amazing! 😋I highly recommend this restaurant. Also, great customer service and quick service. Great quality with great prices! 😉“

“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!“

“QuesoBirria tacos!! 😋 yummy!!“

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

“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.“

“Really good food, real traditional Mexican dishes and their servers are pretty friendly and professionals“

“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.)“

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

“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 service and food !“

“Good food and good micheladas 👍“

“The quesabirrias are quite good!🌮🧀They’re sold individually too, for $5+ each, and come with a decent consomme😋 Better than most taco trucks around here, and a better price than the now way overpriced truck by the Richmond market, which used to have the best birrias and consommé around..but it isn’t even good anymore. Super nice staff too😊“

“Tried this local Salvadoran spot in Richmond and really enjoyed it. I ordered two beef tacos and an authentic Salvadoran-style horchata, and everything was on point. The tacos were flavorful, well-seasoned, and made fresh, and the horchata tasted homemade—not overly sweet and very refreshing. You can tell this is a family-run place that cares about the quality of their food. Always happy to support local businesses like this. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“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 buen servicio y rica su comida“

“Las Palmitas is a solid, family-owned Mexican restaurant in Vallejo with deep roots in the community.
I was there for the Solano Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Banda Lonchera—something we do monthly—and it was a great spot for a midweek lunch. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, especially for a Wednesday around noon. Good energy, not rushed, and easy to have conversations with the group.
I’ve been here before for drinks, and they have a full bar with a great selection, which makes it a good option for both lunch and after-work meetups. This time I had the quesadillas and enjoyed them. Portions were solid, food was good, and others in our group also seemed to enjoy their meals.
What really stood out was getting to meet the family behind the restaurant. This is truly a family business—started by the mom over 30 years ago and now run by her two sons. You can feel that history and pride when you’re there.
If you’re looking for a classic Mexican family restaurant with good food, a full bar, and strong community ties, Las Palmitas is worth checking out.“

“This is my daughter's favorite restaurant that she requests for special days. We went out to celebrate her last day of the school year. She got a vegetarian super burrito, and I got a California Burrito Al Pastor made into a Chimichanga! Super Yum!“

“The best food in los moles nice people there“

“It is a small restaurant, but great in its quality, attention, service and its prices are very affordable, I recommend it for its breakfasts such as chilaquiles, eggs with chorizo ​​and eggs Benedict's, its sound is generally attentive to all its customers, because it has a large number of regular customers.“

“Looking for authentic Mexican food? This is your spot! The carne asada is always super fresh and not overcooked. Also the chips are made in house with the salsa which is amazing. Personally prefer to pay cash cause for some reason it seems to be cheaper when I do.“
