    Order at the window area, food is delivered to your table. Quick service, reasonable prices and a lot of seating. Came for both lunch and dinner services and would recommend for a quick meal or for a place to catch up with friends.

    Broccoli, hongos, butter beans, pork

    Very solid tacos with cute outdoor seating. The tacos are super flavorful, and you'll get to experience some fillings you don't typically see at your local food truck such as broccoli, butter beans, mushrooms, etc. I prefer their dinner service over brunch, but definitely check out both to try!

    Phenomenal food! Don't let the line fool you... moves quickly and you get your food quickly! Very impressive!! We loved all our tacos, their soup is a must and the tostado is bomb... especially the crab!!! Awesome outdoor seating with a covered patio and it was so lovely at sunset great to sit or take to go!

    What a great whole in the wall. We went before a concert and was so glad we came across Oscars! All the tortilla product you can tell so fresh made. With really cool and unusual combinations for you to find your new favorites. Service was super quick and friendly. The patio in the back is cute af and a total vibe

    beans and cheese taco, egg taco, potato taco

    Beware of brunch and dinner menu! Highly recommend the beans and cheese taco for brunch. Very fun ingredients and flavor. Pretty large tacos so it justifies the $5. Fun outdoor seating. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. Make sure to specify takeout if you are.

    Still a 5/5! I would give more stars if possible! We always order whatever is on the vegan menu! LOVE that they always have at least 3 vegan options and LOVE that the charred broccoli taco is always on the menu because that is always our FAV!!! Tried the Agua de Melon con Pepino! SO refreshing, especially after a long hike in the Berkeley hills.

    I came for a pop up for Sofia who I know who makes the yummy irresistible Coyotas. Arrived a little before 5 and there was already a line forming. I had already met Oscar at pop-up at Missouri Lounge and loved his double decker. Our runner was McKenna who was pretty, efficient and on top of her game Service is superb and plan to slide thru during brunch.

    FOOD CAME OUT IN LESS THAN 5 MINS

    I can see why this is on the Michelin Guide. I got carnitas verde, squash, and barbacoa. The tacos are thick and spongy. Carnitas are soft, barbaboa is a rich tomato flavor. And squash is floral and acidic

    Best tacos ever!  Well priced and delicious
    David M.

    Found this place by accident; almost walked away but were curious why people were lined up Best tacos ever, eclectic to the max

    The line that never ends.

    Pork chile verde taco and sweet potato taco
    Karen Y.

    I came here on a Monday night around 5pm for a little get together and all of our friends experienced the same bad attitude from all the workers. The workers were on their phones and when we went to the counter to order, she did not say "hi" and seemed pissed off to take my order. When I finished my order, she just said "ok" I thought it was just me but my friends who got there before me said she also gave them attitude. When I received my order, the guy was also rude too. Sad to say I won't be coming back because the taco was actually pretty good. I got the Pork chile verde taco and sweet potato taco. It was hot and very tasty.

    Frijoles con puerco, chicken tinga, and chile verde tacos. All of these came with onions, which I'm a bit sensitive to, so ordered without
    Liz P.

    One of the most interesting taco menus I've seen! You order outside on the side walk and there is patio seating inside once you order. The food comes out pretty fast, so if you're hangry like me you won't have to wait long. I was impressed with the options, and would like to try more so will be back. I had the taco frijoles con puerco, chicken tinga taco, and chile verde taco. All were super yummy, but the frijoles taco was my fave of the three. There was a broccoli taco I would like to try, and a napoles tostada... there is no lack of foot traffic for sure so word must be out on the tacos they're serving

    I've been passing by Los Moles for years and never stopped in until we had a graduation dinner…read morethere for my niece. The main reason I never went before was the parking situation, which honestly can be a little challenging, but for this visit we found parking down the block and around the corner. The short walk after dinner ended up being nice anyway. We had reservations, although we did wait about 15 extra minutes while another party finished their meal. My family member pointed out they were enjoying drinks, so that probably added some time. The waiter was very friendly, attentive, and clearly trying to get us seated as quickly as possible. Water was brought to the table right away, and our drink order was taken promptly. I ordered the chicken salad and was pleasantly surprised to learn the mango vinaigrette dressing did not contain oils, since I personally avoid seed oils. The salad was fresh and delicious. Some of my family members ordered the buffet, which looked incredible. At first it seemed like too much food for me that day, but once I saw everything included, I started thinking maybe I should have ordered it too since it was only about seven dollars more. They brought complimentary chips, guacamole, and salsa to the table, and everything was so flavorful. The guacamole was especially delicious, and they happily refilled the chips several times. I finally understood why the restaurant is called "Los Moles" because their mole sauces are outstanding. I got to try some from my son's plate, and it definitely made me want to come back and explore more of the different mole options. They also offer vegetarian choices, which is great. Although I am very particular about cooking surfaces, my food is cooked on and in, the Mexican coffee which was heated in some type of who knows what metal, had a good flavor. It inspired me to re-create it at home. Another standout for me was the freshly made corn tortillas served with the meals. They were soft, warm, and incredibly good. I also tried the beans, which were full of flavor. Overall, this restaurant really stood out in my memory, and I definitely want to return someday to try more moles.

    Los Molés All-You-Can-Eat Taco Buffet in Emeryville: Taco Heaven on a Tuesday…read more Los Molés in Emeryville hosts a fantastic all-you-can-eat taco buffet on Tuesdays that's perfect for families and crowds. It was a busy night with the place packed, but we got our food super quickly despite the hustle ~ impressive service kept everything moving smoothly. The variety blew us away on our first visit: tons of different meats seasoned just right, heaps of fresh vegetables, and generous portions of everything you could imagine. You can go back for seconds (or thirds) as many times as you like, and every bite was packed with bold, flavorful goodness. The horchata was a refreshing highlight too ~ creamy and spot-on. The busy, fun atmosphere made it an ideal spot to bring kids, with non-stop energy and satisfied smiles all around. We'll definitely be back for more of this taco feast! Highly recommend.

Nothing overpowered it and the dish paired well with rice and with a fried egg. The veggie rolls were very crispy and flavorful. The fried chicken spring rolls were also good, but chicken didn't have much of the lemongrass flavor, it tasted like a regular crispy fried chicken. Comparing the duck larb with the chicken, the duck was better. It was refreshing and tender. The chicken was also good, but wasn't much of a standout. Everything was freshly made and I look forward to coming back!

    I ordered from Todos Cantina via DoorDash after reading about chef Nolberto Martinez and his…read morefamily's culinary reputation in the Bay Area. Given that background, what arrived at my door was honestly shocking. The burrito was cold, greasy, bizarrely thick and lumpy, and filled with some of the lowest-quality meat I've ever been served by a restaurant. Multiple bites literally had to be spit out. On top of that, the advertised ingredients (sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole) were completely missing. What arrived was basically a dense tube of cheap rice and rubbery meat. At first I assumed this must have been a one-off disaster. Then I started reading the Yelp reviews. And suddenly a pattern emerged: stale chips, stale tacos, food making people sick, delivery orders arriving wrong or poorly made, hostile service interactions, customers being spoken to aggressively, and an overall sense that quality control has completely collapsed. One reviewer even described an employee asking if they "wanted to fight." Another described disputing charges over incorrect orders because the food quality was so poor. What makes this especially disappointing is that the restaurant presents itself as a serious modern Bay Area Mexican concept tied to an admired culinary name. Instead, the actual execution feels careless, inconsistent, and deeply below the standards the restaurant markets itself on. Restaurants can survive a bad night. What they cannot survive is the perception that nobody cares anymore. Right now, that is exactly the impression Todos Cantina gives off. Frankly, this is an embarrassment to the legacy and reputation associated with the Martinez name. I truly hope someone steps in and turns this place around, because based on my experience (and many others here) things have gone badly off the rails.

Los Cantaros has carnitas super quesadillas that are always excellent.

My recommendation is the cantaloupe juice because it's amazing, if they have the cantaloupe juice there when you visit it's definitely worth getting some of that. They make really good fried plantains and depending on the day they sometimes put some watermelon slices in with the plantains which pairs well with the leftover sauce from the plantains and adds a nice flavor. The staff are always really friendly and polite, I go there with my grandmother a lot and she can't hear so well but they're always very patient and friendly with her and don't mind repeating things when she ask questions.
