28 Best Mexican Restaurants near Berkeley

“Food was a bit cold. Went to drive-thru , said my name and was told to pull up. We sat there for about 10 min. Was almost given wrong order. Whole time, food was ready! The tacos were cold, rest was ok. May try again, but if same experience, we're done.“

“thanks to the polite waitress and manager that took care of us last night... have a few too many Doms. They are the best and really hot the spot if you're looking to get a buzz... After our night of getting smashed we got cut off, and manager even gave us a ride to the hotel across the street. so thanks again for taking the time to truly care about your patrons....“

“The best place! My son is obsessed with Leo’s quesadillas! Leo is also the nicest person ever! Highly recommend Quesadillas Dona Meche for great service and great food!“

“Ordered delivery for our first time because our son said that they were great. Young woman on phone was very nice and verified all items in order. Delivery was quite fast for it being dinner time and the young man was very nice.. The chimichangas are outrageous! The green sauce is great but the mole' is really great. The empandas come smothered and can be an entire meal on their own. Really good stuff. They even add seperate containers of rice and beans. This is a superior restaurant.“

“Food was amazing. Service great. Loved it“

“I have been loyal since day one! Nobody beats the food, the service, the family atmosphere. Simply the best 💜“

“Dined here with a friend recently. Food was delicious from start to finish. Good drinks. Nicely put together inside, colorful. Attentive and friendly staff. Highly recommend.“

“We just ate some DELICIOUS chimichangas and great service! Will certainly be back soon.“

“Food is amazing ! 10/10 recommend I normally DoorDash to work but can’t wait to bring my family for lunch soon“

“Unfortunately I can't speak to the food here. I have Celiac Disease, and called to inquire about that specifically. I am leaving this review because the lady who answered the phone was so very kind about it. That hasn't really been my experience since my diagnosis, and I'm so grateful to not have to feel like I'm burdening people. Thank you so much for the kindness you showed me.“

“My wife and I hired them to do a food truck for after our wedding reception. 15/10 decision. The tacos were incredible esp the General Tso chicken and the bang shrimp tacos. Plus the leftovers that weren't served at the reception hall made great afterparty food. If you like tacos and want to give your late night party crowd a treat after a fun night, highly recommend Tacoholics!“

“Always fresh always tasty, everything I’ve ever gotten from them is a 10/10. The quality is always great but the quantity is hit or miss especially with the nachos. Maybe it depends on who’s making them that day. Sometimes its a nice big portion fills the container and sometimes it’s just like they threw some chips in the box slapped on a couple topping and you get half of a container while someone with the same has a full box. 5/10 for that. Prices are reasonable.“

“Love the food here! They also catered a large tray of chicken, steak and birro with all the sides and it was a hit. Super nice family that own it!“

“Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent food for our recent party. The guests were all commenting how delicious and well prepared the food was. It was also more food than we expected, and was very well packed for transport. We’ve enjoyed the experience of dining at Sofia’s, and now also the catered g experience.“

“Great addition to Downtown TR's lineup of eateries. The tacos are fantastic. Mexican fries are amazing. I've also never had a Mexican hotdog before and it's a great addition to the menu. The food is always fresh and delicious!“

“Good food, good service, clean and friendly! Delicious!! Thank you!!“

“Muy rico y muy buena asistencia“

“Along the stalls of the seaside boardwalk taco-tastic caught my eye because of its loud fun music and limited menu (so of course it must be delicious). I am so glad I forewent a boardwalk slice or gyro and went here instead. The Birria tacos were delicious- braised breef and crispy shell, with the most perfect consume. The Mexican corn was absolutely insane - the combo of flavors delicious! And the best empanada I’ve ever had? It was mouth watering and melty. Please, go here on your next seaside NJ boardwalk prowl!“

“YALL NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE!!
I gotta start by saying, I lived in New Mexico for a year and not one
place out there can compare to here! Absolutely phenomenal food, even tried the empanadas as well and they were pretty good for being just meat and cheese! Everything was made fresh to order too! Definitely gonna be coming back here!! If you’re ever craving authentic mexican food this is definitely the spot!“

“My Wife & I had Dinner there Saturday Evening, and it was the Best Dish I have had anywhere in over a decade. The Burrito, Chimichanga Dish was on par to the Culinary Excellence of Emeril's Table 10 Restaurant in Las Vegas. We both look forward to Our next Visit very much. Thank you.“

“The best follow El Campesino🌮✅“

“I own a business in town and I use Surf taco for all of my catering events. The food is fresh, the quantities are amazing and all my staff raves about the taste. They were even generous enough to donate kids meals for all of my kids. I will always support Surf taco. I hope you check it out.!“

“Shout out to Bubbakoos in New Paltz NY. I forget to hit submit on my online order so when I went in to pick up there was no order for me. When I saw my mistake they made my order right away. That was so awesome of them. I really appreciated the awesome customer service- especially when the error was all mine.“

“I totally love it here.
You will too.

From the moment you are seated you feel transported to a land of culinary perfection, warm family- run, friendly staff and a clean bright and cheery atmosphere.

Seating is quick; nachos and 2 uncredible spicy salsas are brought right away. I love when salsa like this is so good.

The soup is out of this world

Chilate de Res huge slabs of tender stew beef with squash and fresh green beans in a mildly spicy tangy tomato broth that will blow away the senses. Served with several hot corn tortillas, cilantro and onions on the side.

Molcajete Poblano I can barely describe in full detail but just look at the photo - FRESH MASSIVE shrimps, tender spiced beef, grilled chicken, leeks, cactus, tomatoes, peppers, onions & avocado in a blazing hot fancy pot to ensure it all stays hot. This was amazing- and comes with a huge plate of yellow rice & black beans. Enough for two, as was the soup.

They play light Mexican ballads and have a nice sound system for a more enjoyable experience.

Prices vs value makes your visit not just inexpensive.. its so reasonable for the sheer volume of food they bring you!

My favorite thing is they have the Almost-chocolatey Ice-Cold Tiajuana-Bottled Refreshing Coca-Cola that you have to try at least once in your life! Also the staff.. I was offered everything befire i could even ask. Next the incredible flavors. Lastly: Nothing even matches the authentic FaMiLy-Sized- portions!! THEY OFFER CONTAINERS!

Whatever i wrote is just the tip of the iceberg.. We will return to try more fantastic menu choices- again and again!!“

“I called to find directions and place and order. The girl who picked up couldn’t understand what I was asking so she hung on me and tried calling back but no one answered. Then I drove to store and placed an order for 3 tacos. I only received one tiny container of salaa. I asked for additional Ndninstwad was given hot sauce. So had to drive back and it took a bout 5 mins for her to argue with me that the hot sauce she gave me was salsa. I asked if she wanted me to bring the other container of salsa in to show her and she keeps giving me something I’m not amusing for. I love these tacos but this experience shouldn’t have been that complicated or difficult but to lie to a customer and keep them hot sauce saying it’s salsa anyway and acting so confused was super disappointing.“

“First time here and I've been to so many Mexican food restaurants. By far this is the best. I order huevo a la Mexicana and omg it was delicious. My plate could feed 2 people. The beans are awesome. No more driving to lakewood for Mexican food. I'm staying where I live and it's not far from me. I will be back El Poblano. Que Rica comida. ❤“

“The el tata torta extra chipotle is the best.“
