    Street parking, toke me a while, walked 2 blocks Simple and beautiful decorations to show the culture and spacious enough for family to sit and enjoy a meal Looks more bar and hangout spot though Service was great no compliant Tried their cocktail and then it got super busy so got the food Togo, toke a while and end up ordering more drinks, but delicious though Food was still good even cold, Asada all the way

    Extremely overhyped and very disappointed with the service. Tab came out well over $100 for just a few items that really weren't even that great considering the price point ($7/taco). Food was also severely under seasoned. How are the frijoles tasteless and bland..? Our server also never checked up on us unless it was to ask if we were ready to order or if we were ready for the check. Never even offered water refills. We waited a while for him to even approach us and ask if we wanted dessert even when we had empty plates and drinks on the table. The dessert wasn't even that good either. Ordered the churros and they were burnt and very hard. The only good thing I enjoyed was their cocktail. Mind you, it was a pretty slow Friday and the workers just kind of seemed to give more attention to each other rather than to their tables. I understand taking advantage of downtime but at least make sure all your tables are well taken care of. The previous reviews about the service do not lie. Ultimately, the food ended up giving me an upset stomach by the end of the night. Maybe it was just a bad day, but I am willing to give this place another try.. probably at the WC location.

    Great first visit on a taco Tuesday! $5 for tacos and it was all so yummy!! Defff my fav #1 is shrimp taco!! Margarita was good and citrusy let's not forget the churros so good I craved for it for a whole 2 months haha

    Chips & Guac
    Eileen X.

    We came here on a Monday evening and the restaraunt was relatively empty. It is a cozy, dimly lit space, good for a romantic yet casual dinner. We started off with the chips & guac, and although the guac was fresh and the chips were warm and crunchy, it definitely was not worth a whole $13. The entire menu is pretty overpriced. Others at my table got tacos, I got the ceviche, which did not impress me- the shrimp were on the mushier side, and overall the dish was average at best. Food is average, prices are high. You're probably better off picking somewhere else to eat.

    We absolutely loved the vibe at 5 Tacos and Beer in Berkeley! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed with the atmosphere and the wide variety of menu options--so much to choose from. We ordered the chilaquiles, chips with guac and salsa, and four tacos--two chicken and two carne asada. Every bite was packed with flavor! The chilaquiles were next level, and the beans on the side were so yummy--creamy and comforting. The homemade tortillas really made a difference, and the salsas were hitting the spot with just the right amount of kick. To drink, we had a Paloma and a Chismosa cocktail--both were fresh, tasty, and perfectly balanced. The chips had that perfect crunch we all love, and honestly, we were just in awe of the whole experience. So happy we found this place online--it was open later than 2:00 pm, unlike a lot of other spots we looked at. That alone makes it a gem, but the food sealed the deal. We'll definitely be back!

    Pozole (pork with red sauce) $18. I wanted to love this but broth lacked flavor and wished it wasn't so oily.

    Pozole (pork with red sauce) $18. I wanted to love this but broth lacked flavor and wished it wasn't so oily. Also pro tip: Don't come here if you want to have a conversation with the ppl you're dining with. The acoustics is so bad (or non existent) that you're literally YELLING at each other (and everyone else in the entire restaurant).

    Love the fresh homemade tortillas!! I have been to another 5 tacos location and love trying the different types of tacos! Service here is great and have variety of items to try!

    Quesabirria, Tacos De Mar (Cod)
    Kathleen S.

    The food was great! I really recommend the quesabirria tacos, which had a chicken option too! I haven't seen a chicken option near this area yet. Waiters were kind and checked in to make sure we were okay throughout the night. Coming back!

    Love this place. They opened one in WC but whenever I am in Berkely I come Here. Pair it with beer and the perfect mix. I always get the 5 taco plate and the fried fish one is amazing.

    Apple salad

    Amazing food! A memorably delicious experience. We went with a large group of 9 and ordered just about everything. The vegetarian section had lots of options (definitely recommend the flautas) and the salad were elaborate and elevated. The guac and chip to start were chef's kiss! Perfection. So fresh and high quality!!!

    Guacamole, Chips and salsa! Yummy and so generous.

    Just a quick little update! 5 Tacos And Beers, Never disappoints! Every time we come here the food is always on point. The staff are so welcoming, hospitality at its finest. I did a recap for my husbands birthday. The restaurants team came out with a flan surprise. So nice ! The whole team at 5 Tacos And Beers are top notch at its finest. Yeimith is the best bartender! Hibiscus martini !! yummy. The whole Staff team, from Roman , Yesenia, Yeimith and others such great customer service.

    Delicious tacos, fresh guacamole and chips

    Best tacos around. These are small tacos for around $6, so expect to have three. Nuts it's worth it. Great beer selections.

    We came in for a drink after our anniversary dinner in good spirits, but unfortunately it was hard…read moreto maintain a cheerful mood in this place. Perhaps it was because we don't fit the hipster prototype, but we got a lot of attitude, and the vibe was not welcoming nor pleasant. $47 for two drinks before tip. I still left a tip despite the lousy service. One and done and we were out of there, without a thank you or goodbye. Needless to say, won't be back, not much more to say.

    For starters the College Ave scene is well College Ave. IYKYK…read more We just finished our anniversary dinner down the street at Millennium (see review) and headed here for a drink since it was close and open. My partner was wearing strappy little heels, yes high heels, and really didn't feel like walking too far. Upon entering I knew we should have turned around and walked out but we didn't. The lady  behind the bar had a scowled gringed up face when we walked in. Like lady haven't you ever seen a hot girl in a dress and heels before???? We forgot you can't dress nice and smile in Bezerkeley. I ordered a Tequila Ocho with lime and my partner ordered a Lemon Drop and here we go again with attitude from behind the bar. She had to ask the dude if he could make one and she came back with yes. He popped in with can't do a sugar rim.  Andrea responded with she didn't want a sugar rim and make it less sweet. Eye rolls!!!! Later as we are sitting there enjoying such a lively and inviting space the bartender dude is talking to another customer about who orders a lemon drop without a sugar rim. Andrea let him know just moments before he couldn't do a sugar rim. SMH!!! Again, Bezerkeley. Hipster, self important, we are all so unique little snowflakes, we all look and act alike crowd. Yep, that's Bezerkeley. And the drinks were outrageously expensive. Two drinks and almost $50 before a very undeserved tip. The are lots of surcharges and extras tacked on to bills in the bay area. I think we just got the "hot girl in heels in a hipster frown bar" surcharge. A one and done never going back experience. Left and walked about 300 ft to Wood Tavern. Still on College Ave but at least over the city line and in Oakland which has its own set of problems.
