The food totally lives up to the hype. Some of the best flavor combinations I have ever had here in Berkeley (Very high praise). The dos Mole dish is a must, both mole are rich and flavorful with one chocolatey and one savory. The tacos are also to die for, you really cannot go wrong with any of them but I recommend trying the fish tacos or mole tacos if you need to choose. I have had a beer and marg here and both were great, no complaints what so ever! They are pretty fast and always sure to check in on how you are enjoying your meal. There is also quite a bit of seating so reservations aren't particularly needed on regular weekdays!

But only in recent months has it become my absolute favorite place for Mexican food in Berkeley. With an extensive menu, fresh flavors, super friendly staff, a great energy, and plenty of outdoor seating, it's a vibe. Sometimes I get to go, sometimes I eat here with the family, and always, it's great. PS: the chile relleno plate is a go-to.

I had high hopes for La Mission based on the amazing reviews…read more.. The location is cute with a nice shaded outdoor area. The servers are personable. My party ordered the verde enchiladas, vegetarian burrito, platanos, and flan. Enchiladas - filled with chicken and the sauce was spicy. However, it wasn't very flavorful, just hot. The rice and beans were very disappointing. Bland and the cheese on the beans was cold, stiff, and clumped. Vegetarian burrito - Delicious! No complaints. Platanos - Served over refried beans with a super unappetizing sauce splashed on top. The taste was just okay but I've had better. Flan - definitely a different texture than the average flan. Overall, it wasn't something to drive home about but it was cool. Overall, the lunch wasn't bad but it wasn't great nor was ti worth almost $80. I may come back to try the tacos, which seem to be a top seller, but I'll hold off on anything else.

The inside consists of a long bar with a handful of tables. Inside or out, you order and pay at the bar with food/drinks brought to your table.

The ceviche was a surprising standout to myself and my friend who is a meat-eater. Chips were perfect with the yummy guac and nachos. Staff informed us in advance of a private party so we had time to sit outside then move inside.

There's colorful decor everywhere, plus a full bar and a photo booth! We got two drinks, two arepas and the guac and salsa. The masarepa flatbread was so fluffy, dense, and moist with a crispy exterior. The arepas were both loaded up with super flavorful filling that was so addicting. The guac is a bit on the citrusy side with the lime, but I loved it! Will def come back especially as the weather gets warmer!

This time, I stopped in to pick up some pan dulce, and I had such a wonderful experience. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the cashier. I don't remember her name, but she told me she was from Nicaragua. Her kindness, friendliness, and genuine smile immediately made me feel welcome. It may seem like a small gesture, but great customer service makes such a big difference. We all get so busy and distracted these days that sometimes we forget how meaningful a warm greeting can be. She truly brightened my day, and I wanted to take a moment to thank her for making me feel so welcome. The pan dulce was delicious, and the outstanding customer service made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back!

Man it pains me to leave this review. The food at Cholita Linda is actually 4 stars. But their…read moreability to get takeout and delivery orders correct is 0 stars. This evens them out to 2 stars. The last three times, they have messed up my order, twice through delivery and once through pickup. Love the Papito sandwich which is probably the most popular. It has great flavors w/ plantain s added to the sandwich to balance sweet & savory. The Peruvian sandwich is also a great take on a steak sandwich. They also have really tasty tacos, especially the pollo asada. But the real MVP is their salads. Great portions, fresh and well seasoned. Just if you're ordering pickup or delivery, don't get your hopes up. You'll likely get something different than what you ordered or have items completely missing. Would definitely recommend eating there in-person to enjoy the food you ordered.

Tacos Oscar offers up slightly more upscale Tacos with nuanced ingredients and intense flavors. During my latest outing I went with the mushroom, barbacoa, and chile verde tacos. Each of my tacos was great, but the mushroom one stood out. The mushrooms were cooked perfectly and had a slight crunch which gave them an excellent texture. They were also incredibly well seasoned. My barbacoa and Chile verde tacos were also solid with some nice topping variation that helped mix up the flavors and texture. Oscar's service is good and straightforward. Place your order up front and either grab a table there or walk to their back patio. I LOVE the back area on a sunny day and would highly recommend it. Each taco here will run you about 5-6 bucks so don't be too suprised by the sticker shock. I would say 3-4 tacos is the ideal range depending on how hungry you are. Give them a try if you're ever in the Mosswood/Temescal area.
