Holy smokes. They offer burrito bowls so I ordered one. They put the beans and rice beans in the little partitioned areas. Less cheese was added than expected. A lot less. And that's it. I would expect a 1/4 cup each of the beans and rice. This was about 1 taco full for $10. I was very disappointed by the lack of flavor as well. read more

Just tried this place for the first time and WOW! I had their Huevos A La Mexicana breakfast burrito and it's one of the best I've had in town. It was a messy to eat but that's how you know it's the real deal! Seating is outside and wasn't too crowded for a Sunday. The staff was very friendly. I will definitely be going back to try the rest of their menu! read more

I ordered the chicken Burrito and the total came to $11.55 The grilled chicken had a nice taste. The tortilla was very soft and fresh. The red and green little salsa cups added much needed kick to the Burrito. The salsas were ok nothing impressive. The Burrito wasn't huge or small. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. I would like to return and try more from the menu. read more

Originally went here for Guacaomle 61, but saw they had closed and was replaced by Mexicana. I was a bit disappointed but I am open for change. Mexicana is inside the foodcourt near the back. They have done some renovations like knocking a part of the wall down and put up the glass so you can see into the kitchen as they make the food. They also put up television screens with the menu and installed a small fridge for drinks and cold products. Overall, it looks like a big upgrade and really nice. I was greeted by a male employee who was very nice and seemed excited to have me. The food court has been kinda empty during the pandemic so I am sure they don't get too much business. They are also relatively new and I search for them on Yelp but didn't see them so I submitting this review along with a request to get them a Yelp page. Just be aware that parking around here is terrible. There is street parking but you come midday to afternoon or weekend not during pandemic and it's packed especially with CheeseBoard across the way. They have a typical Mexican-Californian menu with tacos, burritos, nachos, etc. I got the grilled chicken nacho which came with sour cream, beans, chicken, jalapenos, and salsa. I asked for meat and cheese only with green salsa and extra jalapeno. The guy said ok and then asked if I wanted the beans and such, to which I declined. It took them less than 5 minutes to make the nachos which were great since I was on my lunch break. I got the nachos and a Fanta for $14, which is typical for the area. The chicken nachos comes with guacamole and avocado slices on the top with what they call "salsa" which is actually pico de gallo. It is a type of salsa but I was expecting more of a liquid/water salsa not chopped veggies ontop of my nachos and I didn't get the green salsa as requested. The pico had no spice to it and no juice so it just tasted like eating a raw tomato, I didn't even get an onion or pepper flavor, really bad pico. They load the nachos up with the pico and avocados but not really with the cheese or chicken. The cheese is grated cheese that is placed on top of the chips and semi-melted. I took the nachos and walked 2 minutes to my office and the cheese had already cooled and congealed. In actuality, I got a handful of chips with cheese while the vast majority were without meaning the toppings fell through to the bottom of the nacho. The chips are very overcooked. Like crispy and on the verge of being burned, overcooked. The ingredients tasted ok but they didn't come together, most likely because the cheese didn't connect them. The chicken was really good there was a nice flavor, it was the only thing with any flavor. I also asked for meat and cheese, extra jalapeño, and green salsa only and they still gave me all the toppings. So I picked off what I wanted. My receipt says no jalapeño but I wanted extra which was a miscommunication on my part. Overall the nacho was pretty bland. I would be open to going back and trying something else but not the nacho. I would also heavily request a side of salsa and make sure I get it. It was a great attempt but ultimately a failed attempt at a basic dish. read more

See all

First time today, just got the basic veggie burrito, LOVED it! Everything, pinto beans, guacamole, rice, cheese was wonderful. And ready in 2 minutes. I ate it in my car, didn't even wait to get it home, that is how good it was. And the people are so nice. Prices super reasonable too. Love this place, can't wait to go back! read more

my favorite thing to get is a plain rice and bean burrito, but that doesn't mean their other food isn't great too. i love their veggie nachos. read more

chili relleno was terrible. guacamole was inedible. service was perfect. ambiance was fine for an order at the counter type food service

Love the selection here and also the use of fresh ingredients. Would love to get the word out on them since it's great quality Mexican food.

What a hidden treasure at the Epicurious. We have now purchased lunches and dinners here half a dozen times and love the quality and taste. The fajitas, tacos, chile relenos all very tasty. Determined to spread the word on our new find. read more

Mexicana - One of the Best chile Reños I've had! - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

We love Mexicana! It is our favorite neighborhood spot. Noel, the owner, is very kind, friendly, and always gets our order on point! Our favorite go-to meal is the shrimp burrito. The shrimp is always seasoned and cooked to perfection each time - and we visit about once a week at least! Our second favorite dish is probably the chicken nachos. The char flavor on the chicken is amazing! Highly recommend checking out Mexicana for a quick, delicious meal! read more

came here today and ordered a chicken quesadilla and agua fresca, which came out to $17. The chicken in the quesadilla was undercooked. I am now feeling extremely nauseous and sick. read more

Food is great and the service is quick. The portions are not too big nor too small but they are generous. There's a great selection on the menu and the staff is nice! read more

Really enjoyed everything we ordered - from shrimp fajitas to barbacoa burritos to chicken enchiladas, everyone in our family was super happy. Just as important, the staff was incredibly friendly when ordering on the phone (sometimes it's just easier than online!) and also at pick up. Will definitely make this a regular stop :) read more

Mexicana is the hidden gem of our (Gourmet Ghetto) neighborhood. The food is fresh and flavorful. I especially love their Carnitas...tender juicy and spiced just right. Their pozole when available is also highly recommended. It certainly doesn't hurt that Noel (sp?) and his family are down to earth and truly delightful folks! Drop by. I'm sure you will be glad you did. read more

Carnitas burrito was a 4/5 enchiladas kinda had a tv dinner feel 2/5. Outdoor seating area was nice. Chips and salsa were spot on. Loved sitting up near the roof outside. Would recommend the burritos and will be back to try other items. Customer service is good and the owner checked in to make sure everything was okay. read more

The NICEST people ever! It only took one time for the owner to know my complicated order and he still remembers, even if I haven't been there in more than a month! read more

The food is so fresh and consistently delicious!! I highly recommend the chile rellenos, but I have yet to taste anything on the menu that wasn't good. The drinks there are also very nice. I recently had a seasonal drink there that was basically like Mexican rice pudding in a drinkable form - it was perfect in winter and so festive! Plus, Noel who is always there is super welcoming :) read more

Everything I've had at Mexicana has been delicious, made with fresh ingredients, and tastily seasoned. Service is quick and prices are very reasonable. The owner Noe and his family are very friendly, and prepare each dish to suit your preferences. I highly recommend Mexicana for flavorful, healthy food, prepared with care. read more

The best ever! Not only does Noe sauté up a mean shrimp burrito, he is such a friendly and kind person! The whole experience at Mexicana is terrific: Great food, great people! Love it! Thank you Noe and family! You rock! read more

This spot is hidden inside of the Imperial Japanese Tea Room court and has lots of great, gluten-free options. The shrimp tacos and the al pastor were the favorites. The chicken and barbacoa were also great. Very nice staff to ensure gluten free handing since we have two celiacs in the family. read more
