Carnitas Mixto Bowl
Julian

SOOOO GOOD. Way better than chipotle, same idea but more healthy/fresh and flavorful. The carnitas are bombbbbb. They have pretty fast turnaround service and delivery with doordash.

Oakland Food Hall 2353 E 12th St, Oakland, CA 94601 Palmita is serving up a tasty Cal-Mex menu from it's commercial kitchen at the Oakland Food Hall. Also known as "ghost kitchens," Palmita only offers pickup or delivery. There's no dining room or "Palmita" storefront. The Palmita menu was created by the same people who created Ben's Fast Food and Umami Express. Palmita Website: https://www.eatpalmita.com/menu On Labor Day, I had a chance to try the Chicken Rice Bowl and the Green Smoothie. I chose "Silky Salsa Roja" as my sauce. The food arrived in a cardboard box. Which is okay if it's going to be delivered or picked up right away. I would of preferred a sealed plastic container. I added the sauce and mixed it in. The Chicken Rice Bowl is very tasty. The natural ingredients are evident in this flavorful mixture of "garlic, rice & millet, hand pulled chicken, cauliflower & red cabbage, taco seasoned corn and black beans, fresh tomatillos, pickled onion, cilantro garnish." Their webpage says everything is plant-based except for the added proteins. The Green Smoothie was a bit small for $5.95. But it was cold and refreshing with good stuff like "spinach, pineapple, and banana with a dash of lime juice and house coconut milk." Overall, a good experience.

I'm really fortunate to have an employer that has a food program that supports local restaurants. As a result, we have an amazing variety of options daily. Palmita is one of my favorites because of the quality, variety and deliciousness of their offerings. Today's lunch is the chicken mixto salad minus the corn and bean salad. With the green Chile cilantro dressing on the side (I already poured it over the salad), the box includes tender juicy shredded chicken, pickled red onions, tomatillos, mixed greens and grains. It's delicious and filling. The combo of textures and flavors is out of this world! Be sure to give their shop a try so support this local business.

My first time order here and I LOVE it. Looking for something healthy and delicious I found Palmita , the ingredients are fresh, cilantro dressing (plant based) add so much flavor. The mix of multiple ingredients some how taste so good together, I love the texture of it. It comes in a paper box and , compost utensils so 10/10. I also order a green smoothie (I craved it because The pictures look so good) and it was fresh, good taste without being sweet. I ordered it for pick up and it was really fast !! For sure I'd like to try more items. I recommend it!!

Long time customer since my college days here. I was here the first week after they rebuilt after…read morethe fire, and so I've seen the quality start high and remain after all these years. Came for a dinner pickup to-go on a weekday evening. Things I love: - HUGE portions: all other considerations aside, I'd always default to splitting a meal or counting on leftovers. Their salads and sandwiches both are served in generous portions, which helps justify the cost, which itself is not that unreasonable to begin with. - Seating: nice areas inside, as well as an outdoor space that's shared with the neighboring bar. During the daytime when the bar is not open, the back space is a great area to spread out in, and even work in with a small group. - Staff: I read a few negative reviews about the staff here, but I have had nothing but positive experiences, especially given the high customizability of the meals here, they do a great job accommodating requests and making sure you have the meal that you're expecting. - Breakfast burritos: gotta shoutout my favorite breakfast burritos. These things literally sustained me all of junior year, and are a great value for what you're paying.

Like the other reviews state--portions are sizable! The Chef Salad is hefty and I love it. I…read moreespecially enjoyed the beans (garbanzo + kidney) and sprouts they add. Lots of fiber and protein. LOVED the thick side of sliced bread!! Lightly sweet and very earthy tasting. The menu isn't very intuitive--the "salad" menu sign doesn't show the protein options; the proteins are under the "sandwiches" sign. I admittedly stepped into the line underprepared, but the staff here could be so much kinder lol. Latte was alright. A tad too bitter for my taste. They have extensive indoor and patio seating. Great place to meet up with a friend or two and grab a quick/easy food.

So I assumed the berkeley location (which is near my house and so convenient!) would have been a good restaurant to add to my takeout rotation. Sadly tonight I had the most bizarre and customer unfriendly exchange with someone who I assume was the manager. I ordered my bowl and got a few substitutions so it would be a vegan bowl. I asked if I could sub avocado for goat cheese (which I have done at their Del Mar location no problem). They said yes but it would cost .60 extra - I agreed and they finished making the bowl, tossed in the dressing and packed it up. Then when I go to pay, they charged me $2.50 for the avocado saying I couldn't substitute it for the goat cheese despite the fact that the server told me I could do the substitution for .60 additional. Instead of being gracious and acknowledging their error, the manager said I could have the bowl remade without avocado. She literally was going to throw away a $16 bowl of food over a mistake her staff person made. I saw the line had gotten pretty long at this point so I decided to just leave without the food. I do not understand why on earth managers think it is good business to nickel and dime customers to this level- especially when their staff is the one who made the mistake. Had they graciously just rung up the bowl and charged me the extra .60 I would have been a happy customer who would have come back many times. Instead I'm now on yelp complaining and will never go back and already complained to three people about this tonight because it ruined my dinner. Maybe the berkeley management team needs the Del Mar team to come and train them better. I'll be back to the Del Mar location soon- the berkeley one- not so much.

I almost never choose…read morethe same spot twice when traveling...so choosing to eat here 2x was a big nod from me that the first impression was a good one. When I want a hearty salad that's convenient from now on, I will daydream about MIXT. There are a variety of well-thought toppings, protein, and flavors with their set bowls but you can also build your own. I also like that they let you decide how light or heavy to dress your bowl. Service both times was quick and friendly. Their agua frescas were so refreshing! 5/5 for their fried cauliflower with green sriracha (which is more like a cilantro crema situation - so good!) I knock one star because as expected, these salads are not cheap. Granted, one salad bowl can be split into more if you're not a big eater. I supposed you're also paying for quality - everything was fresh! Ambiance was bright, clean, and quiet. I saw some students studying. When back in the area, MIXT is a reliable choice for me to get some tasty fiber.

Instant NO for me if I would have known. On top of that, they heat the food inside the plastic. In 2026. In Berkeley CA. Unbelievable. How? My southwest scramble was heated most likely in a microwave and the plastic on the lid of the container is a bit melted. How appetizing. Whoever called this soggy piece of factory manufactured slop an English muffin please tell me how you imagined humans would find this appetizing. Every bite screamed "this is worse than mcdonalds." I can't wait to look this company up and see the bright minds behind these creations. Serving hospital/prison food with fancy names and healthy packaged sides to give an impression of healthy food with the cheapest possible ingredients is brilliant. Where can I invest? I suppose there is something for everyone but this food is not for me. I am not eating this. Beware!

Love this place! I am new to poke and have only had it at the Wow! The Hawaiian Lemonade place…read morelocated around the corner from Poke Bar. 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!).

For poke, one of the protein options was scallops, which isn't offered a lot of lot of poke places. The raw fish options, salmon and tuna, seemed fresh and tasty.

I think I just discovered my favorite restaraunt of all time in Berkeley. 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!
