    Unfortunately, this place fell off. They took out their best taco, which was the ribeye taco. Their meat is under seasoned, and I found hair in my taco. Service needs a little more work. I feel like when restaurants expand they don't put enough effort to all their restaurants, and the food quality goes down. They need to revamp this location because it wasn't what it was before.

    I was nice to come here for a taco or just to have a drink and sit outside and enjoy outdoor seating. they've got great chips and a salsa and avocado dip. The service is great.

    5 Tacos and Beers does it again! I don't want to jinx it, but I have yet to come here and not enjoy the experience. From the delicious margaritas to the refreshing cucumber salad to the flavorful tacos, I always leave feeling full and happy.

    Brunch at Five Tacos & Beers is always a delicious treat! The service and the food never disappoint. In the ambience is always is always the cherry on top. Today I have one of my favorites, Chilaquiles and a hibiscus margarita. Both were absolutely yummy! This will always be one of my favorite spots.

    Great ambiance, decent food, friendly & knowledgeable server but poor service. When we were seated, we were a party of 5 (with 2 kids) and there were only 4 table settings. After we received our appetizer, we had to ask for a fifth setting twice. After our appetizer was long gone, the two vegan plates came out. The big taco order came out 15 minutes later. The kids were getting restless. At this point, we had just two drinks and were hoping the server would come by so we could ask for water. We ended up asking for water 3 times (like we didn't even start with water!). We eventually got water at the end of our meal. I do appreciate that there was an entire vegan/vegetarian section on the menu and those tacos were quite good. Not my top pick for tacos but it was decent.

    Overall, the food is good here! The service is really sweet, and they offer a wide variety of drinks and mocktails--the mocktails are especially good. The ambiance is nice; I usually sit at the bar, and they occasionally have live music, which adds to the vibe. I enjoy coming here for the variety of vegetarian options--everything feels authentic and tasty.

    We love this place BECUASE of the delicious drinks and tacos. We always get the 10 taco plate and the birria because of the flavor. You have to pair it with the delicious crispy beer

    A very nice place to have lunch outside on a warm fall day. I had the crispy tacos and my friend had the fresh salad. Disappointed that their non-alcoholic beverage list was on the skimpy side -- no ginger beer or ginger ale. My tacos were delicious although many might consider them appetizer size. See my attached photo. The salad looked good although not efflorescent. All in all a tasty meal for the money but was left a little on the hungry side after. Service was good although busy.

    Nice lunch! Cheery atmosphere! Started with a delicious house margarita! Perfect! Ordered a grilled halibut; grilled chicken & a short rib fried taco trio $19 They were really good!

    This time we signed up for their frequent membership. Still love this place. The cocktails are so good. I could live off their chips and salsa. The chips are cooked fresh and crunchy with enough salt. The service is efficient and we got our food pretty fast , we got here around 12:30 pm on a weekday. The restaurant has ample seating and it has a lot of light inside. I like to sit by the window.

    Great food and ambience--the perfect vibe!!!!  a magical time

    You are driving down San Pablo Avenue in Albany, not going anywhere in particular -- San Pablo is…read morethe kind of road you take when the freeway feels like too much commitment, four lanes of auto body shops and taquerias and nail salons stretching from Richmond to Oakland, the East Bay's long commercial backbone -- and somewhere around Solano Avenue you see a sign that says Club Mallard. You take your foot off the gas. Club Mallard. You need to know. The interior is dark and warm and full of dead birds. Mounted, taxidermied, presiding over the room with the glassy authority of creatures who didn't expect to end up in a bar in Albany but have made their peace with it. The effect is somewhere between hunting lodge and natural history museum after hours, and it shouldn't work on San Pablo Avenue but it does, completely, the way any sufficiently committed aesthetic decision will eventually override its context. I've been once. Midweek happy hour. This is the most honest way to evaluate a bar -- no weekend crowd to inflate the energy, no event to justify the turnout, just the place and whoever shows up on a Tuesday because they want to be there. The happy hour is good. The bartender was gregarious and present and seemed to actually like the job, which sounds like a low bar until you've spent enough time on the other side of it. The regulars were friendly in the East Bay way, which is to say they talked to us without needing anything from us, offered opinions on what to drink, and went back to their conversations. There's an outdoor space for when you want sky. I've driven past since and seen it packed. I was glad. You root for a place like Club Mallard the way you root for any small enterprise that decided to be something specific in a landscape of sameness, and then just held the line.

It also happens to be somewhat of a meeting point when I'm in Oakland and another friend is in Berkeley. When I was in downtown Oakland it was only 14 minutes away. What a time. I like this bar because the drinks are good, it's affordable, all ages come here and the vibe is nice. There is a pool table downstairs and about two or three upstairs along with a mini bar. The fire place is currently keeping the bar cozy downstairs. So, I've liked Cosmopolitans for some time now and Mallard's has a Mandarin Cosmo. It is so good - it reminds me of an Orange Hi-C.

Looking for an in-between spot (a sip and bite before dinner), we cozied up to the bar here for a quick cocktail and bar food snack.

Both the cocktails and snacks came timely, and we enjoyed conversation and community chatting with other locals/tourists visiting Berkeley for a short time.

    A must-visit place for anyone living in the area (4/5 Green Stars)…read moreBring cash! That's the first rule of Schmidt's Pub. Maybe it's the only rule! I've been coming here a bit more regularly, lately - more visits in the last year compared to the previous decade, in fact. Now I wonder what I was waiting for. According to the East Bay Express, Schmidt's Pub is "basically your living room, but better" - that does sum it up, except that very few of us have living rooms anything like this, with a cozy fireplace surrounded by comfy armchairs and rustic tables beside sunny windows. Not many of us have living rooms with Old Speckled Hen on tap, or populated with an entertaining parade of quirky folk and friendly dogs. If the people and dogs are not entertaining enough then pick up a copy of Calvin and Hobbes or A History of Clay Pipes (okay, I made that one up) and have a little retreat with a pint. 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on these factors: * Beer on tap (transported in reusable kegs) has a much lower footprint compared to bottles or cans. * Allows you to bring your own food, which is good for folk like vegans who are often more comfortable with BYO. * The snacks available at the counter could be a bit more Berkeley (or Albany)! They were mostly from big corps - Lays chips (PepsiCo) and chocolate bars from Mars. Would be nice to see a more imaginative/ethical selection. * A great community space with an inclusive atmosphere. Schmidt's is home to many groups (e.g., knitting) and provides a second family for many, some who send postcards from their trips! * Finally, we shouldn't underestimate the importance of having a place to slow down, reflect and connect with each other a little. In that respect, Schmidt's Pub is worth its weight in gold.

We stopped in early on a Friday evening and were seated right away. The space has a great, casual vibe with plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor tables for nicer weather. Our server was friendly and checked in to see if we had any questions (we didn't), and we got drinks started right away--a local beer from Faction and a Black Basil cocktail. Both came out quickly and were solid. For food, I went with one of their signature pies--the All-Star deep dish. It's loaded with bacon, meatballs, sausage, pepperoni, and cheese... and it's massive. I always go for the 12" because it easily turns into 4-5 meals (no regrets there). My wife built her own gluten-free pizza with a thin crust and really enjoyed it. One thing I appreciated: even though deep dish takes longer to cook, both pizzas came out at the same time, which isn't always easy to do. They also offer a good variety of salads, starters, and sandwiches, which all sounded great--but I was here for the pizza. Overall, great service, excellent food, and a relaxed atmosphere.

The meatball is sliced so the sandwich is on the thin side. Overall, the nice gooey cheese, grilled garlic roll and meatball created a pretty good sandwich.
