    Beef burrito
    Emma N.

    I've been here a few times and had the enchiladas, California burrito, and the beef burrito. The California burrito is the best out of the 3, although the fries are a bit soggy. The carne asada is decent, but all of the flavors kind of just blended together. The beef burrito was tender but lacking flavor in the beef, and the beans and rice were also bland. The tortilla wasn't warmed, and the burrito didn't seem very fresh.

    Ground Beef Burrito (?....)

    Dont cha hate when you tell someone the food somewhere is delicious and you take them on, what you hope is, an off day. The rice was delicious, beans were good, cheese was on point. It was supposed to be a ground beef burrito. It was bean and cheese burrito with a sprinkling of ground beef. So disappointing. I truly hope it was a fluke and they haven't gone down hill over the past couple of years. I am giving two stars instead of one because I have had them be superb. I will eat there again and rate them again.

    Wet burrito 10/10
    Tasha H.

    The wet burrito here is just peak for me. It's so good. Pollo asado is moist and delicious, burrito is the perfect size, filled with goodness. Enchilada sauce is flavorful, and it's served with a bunch of thin delicious chips. Salsa bar is still in effect too - doesn't get much better.

    POST HIGH SCHOOL REUNION LATE NIGHT MEAL Last Saturday night was my high school reunion, which was at Berkeley. The reunion ended at midnight. I enjoyed the dinner for the reunion, but I knew I would be hungry. After the reunion my fellow high school/ college friend and I went to our old stomping grounds at Cal to Telegraph Avenue. He decided to go to Blondie's Pizza; I went to Top Dog. However the line at Top Dog past 1:00 AM was still long. I decided to go to the eatery next door, which was La Burrita. It was a place when I was a student I would eat at times after Cal Football games. I didn't want to order any burrito I've had at other Mexican eateries. I ordered the lengua burrito. Also I ordered the horchata. The lengua I ate at La Burrita isn't pasty or gamey as I've eaten at some Mexican eateries. The horchata was a beverage I needed after the numerous cocktails I drank during my high school reunion. Overall the lengua burrito at La Burrita was ok but it did the job as I was full after a long night.

    Wet Burrito

    The OG Mexican restaurant of Telegraph area. First time I had it was about 15 years ago, and on a positive note-- the food is still good! My recent meals include the Wet burrito, the California burrito, and the Super burrito, and my "go to" back in the day was the Philly burrito. I would advise to try something more adventurous than the standard or super burrito if you're going here for a burrito. The California Burrito is excellent, and the Wet burrito was a VERY satisfying meal on a rainy day. I can't speak for the Philly in recency, but it was my post drinking meal when times called for it. You're not getting the most modern trendy food here, but it's solid and filling. It's not overly seasoned like some Mexican places, in other words-- I haven't felt the effects of a "sodium bomb" the day after eating. It's good honest Mexican food and it's not trying to be anything flashy. The indoor seating is limited, but it has a cozy old style atmosphere that's harder to come by nowadays. Like all other restaurants, occasionally things can be a little hit or miss. Overall, it's consistent, and the staff are likable.

    Wet Burrito and strawberry agua fresca
    Allison H.

    I stumbled upon this restaurant while in Berkeley. I tried the Wet Burrito with steak and got the strawberry agua fresca. The burrito tasted good but it wasn't my favorite kind of burrito. I didn't quite like the red sauce with the cheddar cheese. However, the amount of food given is worth the price. I loved the strawberry agua fresca. It quenched my thirst.

    I'm from socal so it's hard to find good authentic Mexican spots, this place is soooooo good and they have bomb burritos! Super quick also, the Hispanic ladies are very sweet :) PLUS the portions are huge and worth the price, always have left overs for two meals instead of one!

    #21 Veggie Special and pineapple juice  Comes with chips and they have a salsa bar.
    Carise S.

    I've been here a couple of times and I really enjoy their veggie burrito #21 and their agua de piña (pineapple juice). They provide chips and salsas. My favorite salsa is the one with habanero bits (orange bits). Staff is also really friendly! And they play Mexican music which is nice. This is a cool spot to grab a quick bite.

    Carne Asada Burrito

    My daughter found this place while going to UC Berkeley about 12 years ago and it's been our favorite place ever since!! Best burritos I have ever had. The flavor of the meat is to die for. The portions are really large so make sure you're super hungry or share with a friend because chances are you won't finish it! They've got to be good because they've been in business for 30 years. Love You Guys!!

    Decent spot for quick Mexican food. TIPS: 1. They have carne asada fries! 2. Order on Snackpass, two locations on Northside and Southside! 3. Open pretty late for some late-night munchies (11 pm). 4. Park far away and walk here, as parking gets rough at night. The carne asada fries are good once in a while, but it is super greasy, so it feels unhealthy to eat. The fries are cooked very well, the cheese is overloaded, and the sauce is great. There is no cilantro, pico de Gallo, or onions on the fries so it does get soggy with no crunch. However, it's great once in a while. The salsa is good, though at the bar and it is unlimited which is great. There are seats for places for sit-in and dining.

    La Burrita is my go to place for nachos in Berkeley. The workers are always very kind and are fast with your order. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so if you plan on dining in keep that in mind. They are usually busy during lunch hour with construction workers and in the evenings with students. Like I said, this is my go to place for nachos. I have tried a wet burrito once from here and did not like it, so I stick to what they do well: nachos. The nachos are PACKED and they are t skimpy with the cheese! Their tortilla chips are super thin and crispy which I love. The pico always tastes fresh and the guac is flavorful. They have a self serve salsa station. My go-to is the green salsa. It's not very spicy, which I love! I usually order through snackpass which lists that regular nachos come with pico and jalapeños. Im not sure if this is a mistake but they never add those toppings and I always have to ask for them. Sour cream and guac are extra. I usually add my own sour cream at home for this reason. If you're looking for somewhere to get nachos, go here! Can't say the same for the burritos but the nachos and service never disappoint!

Both are great, but I like Poke Bar more as I feel you get more protein and food for the price, super fresh fish (cut smaller than Wow, but feels like I am getting more, plus I have the option of asking for tofu as an option!). I love all of the add-ins (fried garlic goes great with fish and is so good without being too overpowering, far less overpowering than fried onions), the sauces are great, I like being able to have brown rice without being charged extra (ahem, Wow Lemonade ;) ), the seaweed salad is delicious and the food was so good that right after I took the first bite I made an audible sound and rolled my eyes it was so good. I had to be chill about it, but dang, Poke Bar rocks! I also like that it is a tiny bit more affordable, and you get more food for the price. So much food that I wasn't able to finish my medium-sized bowl. Only detractor is that I wish their krab was krab salad and not just krab. And I wish that as far as two sides go, that I could get two sides of krab and just mix in one of their sauces and some wasabi and make my own krab salad. Only negative about the place is that they don't offer bags with handles, just regular brown smaller grocery bags. So, if they stepped it up a notch and had branded bags I think that would help to promote their business more since they are located in a somewhat out-of-the-way spot. Definitely come and check this place out. Super fast service, okay seating, great, great, GREAT fresh fish, and such an umami flavor. Tip: get a mix of white and brown rice to make it a tad bit healthier and get some more fiber (if you don't want to go fully salad style and get greens. Or be wild and get all three options as the base!).

Though the exterior of…read morethe restaraunt is unassuming, and the building itself is quite small with limited seating, the interior is still very clean and neat, and the workers are very nice. I placed an online order for the C Chicken Momos and the Garlic Cheese Naan, which were both phenomenal. The naan was some of the best I've ever had. It was so fluffy, thick, and pillowy soft, and was not overly charred/thin or too crispy like other naan. Just pure doughy goodness. There was also a perfect amount of cheese filling--enough that you got the subtle kick of milky acidity, but not too overpowering. The naan itself was also not too greasy, and the garlic flavor was very aromatic. You could also taste a hint of the slight tartness from (I'm assuming) the yogurt used to make the naan. The "C" Chicken Momos came with eight large pieces, which is definitely enough to fill you up. The sauce tasted like a classic sweet-and-sour sauce with a very mild and pleasant spice. Also, because the dumplings were fried, they were crispy despite being covered in sauce, but still had a bit of the nice chew you would get from a steamed momo skin. The fillings themselves were also super flavorful: you get a herbal and fresh taste from the ginger, which balanced the tanginess of the sauce so the meal did not feel too heavy, and the subtle nuttiness and pepperiness of cumin in each bite. The dumplings also had some warm broth in them, which is perfect for a cold day. The prices are fair too. You can often find small discounts on Snackpass or delivery apps like GrubHub. Needless to say, I will definitely be coming back. Totally recommend!
