I LOVE this place. SO MUCH. It was a weekly staple for so many years of my life and nothing can keep me away. I will willingly drive 1+ hour to go to either of the locations because the food is simply That Good. The Taco Tuesday deal (buy 4 get 1 free) is definitely irresistible but what I crave most often is their Fish Quesadilla. It's so simple and cheesy yet delectable. Not to mention that they stuff the quesadilla with a huge portion of fish. It pairs perfectly with a strawberry horchata and their sides of picked radish, carrots, and jalapeños. TOO GOOD!!! No one was there when I arrived but the store is marked to obey social distancing rules! I placed a pretty large order and received it in under 15 minutes but if time is an issue you can use a pre-order app like Snackpass. TL;DR: I'm always greeted with the best service and food here!! read more

The tacos were good! The cuts of meat had good taste and flavor!! Just seem to be over priced a little!!

Nice food - hole in the wall but awesome food overall. Love this joint and the price good too

Is this real life?! After years of visiting the truck in East Oakland, I was super shocked to see a Tacos Sinaloa location right in front of my bus stop on Telegraph. So shocked that I avoided it for months, afraid it might not live up to the Fruitvale location's reputation. As it turns out, there was nothing to fear! Unlike most reviewers, for me, Tacos Sinaloa has never been about the tacos and burritos, but the seafood and ceviche. The cocteles are huge, cheap, and delicious, and come with plenty of tostadas, a generous portion of fresh avocado, limes, and saltines + tapatio with to-go orders. As at their other location, you won't see any slimy little bay shrimp here - these are prawn-sized guys. Crab is fake and I don't care. Though it's not my thing, my husband's tacos seemed pretty much the same as the tacos at the Fruitvale location - the asada was particularly good. Unfortunately, as the Fruitvale location loses a star for ehh...ambiance, this place loses a star for overcrowding and slow service. But you can bet I'll still be back for takeout. read more

I had their chile relleno burrito. It was delicious! It was super filling, they wrapped it so well because nothing falls apart, it wasn't too salty, it was freshly made, and it was perfect. This was my first time trying chile rellenos and first time ordering from here but will definitely come here more often ! They didn't skimp out on anything and packed it full of the chiles. read more

This place is super delicious! The first time I came here with my friend we ordered steak burritos and we were very surprised and pleased with the proportion.... definitely very filling! Food tasted very good and authentic! One thing that caught our attention on the menu was a strawberry horchata. We decided to order it and it was so yummy and perfectly sweet! They have pretty fast service as well which is convenient when grabbing a quick lunch break at school. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

The breakfast burrito with steak came with rice, beans, cheese, 2 fried eggs, and steak. While the ingredients list seems bare, it had no dearth of flavor thanks to the steak's seasoning. Additionally, it was served literally hot off the grill - the tortilla and eggs, at least. This is a good example of a cheap, no frills menu item executed properly. read more

Stopped by because I was really excited about this newcomer from Oakland.

Disappointed with this place, especially with the quality of the food. read more

This is my most frequented spot in Berkeley. Snackpass top 1% of customers. Sad they took the burrito off of the snackpass 25 point rewards. Gotten more expensive over the years but consistently a banger read more

Can't say that I'm an expert in tacos or burritos but the food at Taco Sinaloa does not disappoint​! I've been here twice now and I've tried new things both times. Their tacos are just $2 each and are really good. Still, one taco would probably not get anyone full as it's quite small. They have all the different meats to fill the tacos and all are really good, but their fried pork​ is everything!! Their burritos are around $6 and are very big too. Still, I think that their drinks are what people come back for. The Horchata is good, and I've seen a lot of people order just the strawberry drinks too. Overall, I think that this place is convenient, cheap, but offers delicious food. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the place is a little small. I don't think there's enough seating, and it gets crowded by the cashier area. read more

Honestly, stop being so cheap with the condiments and have a better customer service. Will not be coming back.

Tacos Sinaloa is from my former 'hood, the fruitvale.. shop small, seating -15ish stools. expect lines. moves quickly. some meats, beans premade, stored on counter. typical menu except regular meats for tacos @2, specialty meats @2.25 eats: specialty tacos: shrimp, fish, lengua (2.25@) -same sauce in all tacos, semi spicy. -tillipia fish in squares, not so tasty, -couple of whole shrimps crunchy but not so juicy -lengua pieces tender, not so juicy. -taco shells warmed up, jalepenos and pickled carrots too.. frijoles refritos: -aqua fresca may be powder. (average per reviews) -seasonal flavors more likely to be freshly made read more

Usually their burritos are really good. Went last night and they were somehow out of rice. Cashier didn't bother mentioning this so I ended up paying $10 for a tiny little burrito that was basically Chile wrapped in a tortilla (just meat and beans). They Didn't even offer a discount for it. How does a Mexican restaurant even run out of rice?? I usually love this place but now I know to ask if they even have rice before ordering smh read more

As a fan of the truck in Oakland I was excited when I found out they were making their brick & mortar in Berkeley AND on Telegraph. The place itself is small with few bar seats inside, so I usually take it to go. I can't really complain about anything here! I usually go with the carnitas super burrito and split it with m BF, some al pastor and carne asada tacos, and their horchata. The carnitas here is the thing to get. Nice and crispy it never ceases to disappoint. Their tacos are also stuffed and delicious. Last but not least, their Horchata is so refreshing! We usually get a large and end up drinking more than half by the time we leave. All the food is reasonably priced imo since each super burrito is the length of my forearm. Service here is always friendly and I love that they ask you want sides you want when they call your order so you can always ask for more limes, carrots, etc. They recently added a loyalty program for coming here so be sure to add yourself since you will be coming back! read more

Am I blind? I stared at the menu for a while and maybe I missed it but is there guacamole available? Hmmmm. After a long day of shopping, I needed to eat. I've heard so many great things about this place so I decided today is the day. I looked and really thought about getting tacos but opted for the burrito. Very secretly priced - especially for the size. It was heavy and full of meat. And the flavor was alright. I didn't opt for the carrots or radish but I did get the limes! I went for asada, no sour cream, and it was meh. I added some Tapatio on the bites but honestly, it needed guac. Great service. The location is small and easy to walk by. Especially with all of the great choices for food in Berkeley. I guess if I got back, I'll just get tacos. read more

My favorite east Oakland taco truck set up shop near campus. Now I no longer have to risk my life for some delicious tacos. That alone is worth 1 extra star. Tacos are $2 each and 3 is more than enough to fill you up. Special meats (like lengua) for a quarter more. My favorites are the shrimp and beef tongue. Carnitas is tasty too. The pastor taco is too flavorful (yes, that's a thing) but if you're into that, you'll love this. Pro tip -- Taco Tuesday, buy 3 get 1 free!!!! read more

Tacos Sinaloa - So affordable. Clockwise from drink: carnitas, beef tongue, pastor, shrimp. - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

Got the asada taco. The beef tasted different... A different quality? Idk. But personally I think Gordo and El burro tastes much better. Nothing special about fish or chicken. Couldn't really taste the salsa. This taco didn't have a nice kick to it that I usually get from tacos. Also did not like the Agua Fresca. Got strawberry and had this unpleasant syrupy aftertaste. Overall, it's just okay. read more

If you are craving for great Mexican food that is NOT Americanized in Berkeley, come to this place! This restaurant has cured all my cravings for Mexican food because apparently, it seems like a difficult task to find a decent restaurant that serves legitimate Mexican food in this area. I usually get the Breakfast Burrito and Carne Asada Tacos which are fan-freaken-tastic. My boyfriend has ordered the Lengua Tacos, and he loves it! I tend not to like lengua, but it's tender here which to me is a thumbs up. The workers are nice, and I love that when I ask for extra condiments, they give it without being stingy. I can see why people would not give 5-star to this restaurant because it is a small restaurant and can be difficult to find a place to sit; also, if you are from the LA county, in comparison, the prices at this restaurant may be a little high, but it's worth it since this restaurant actually serves legitimately Mexican food. read more

My former roommate is from SoCal and she swears on these tacos. Every visit up here, she will stop by the east Oakland location to get her fix. I've always wondered what the allure was and decided to get check it out for myself since they built a new location near my work. The place itself is small and you can definitely walk by it on the street if you aren't looking out for it. Although there are no tables inside, there are some bar seating in the front and around the side that can probably fit 10 people comfortably. Each taco is around $2 and come with generous topping of meat and salsa. No matter what meat you get, it's super tender and just melts in your mouth. I am getting all hungry again just thinking about it. These babies should definitely be enjoyed fresh and warm. I ordered 3 total and ate 1 there and took 2 back to the office to eat later. The 1 that I ate there (carnitas) was ahhhhh-mazing. The other 2 were good, but once the tortilla gets cold and soggy, it doesn't have the same effect. Since this place is so close to work, I will definitely be back. I may even come in and try their breakfast options! read more

OMG! OMG! OMG! I had no idea that Sinaloa opened a location RIGHT BY MY WORK! I'm a huge fan of the East Oakland trucks, and the ceviche and fish tacos are the best deal in town.

It's opening day! My excitement cannot be contained for this place. Now I was born and raised in Southern California and I like to think I know a thing or two about good tacos and Tacos Sinaloa tastes like HOME. You won't find lettuce or tomatoes or any kind of sour cream and cheese on these tacos, just good old meat, onion, cilantro and salsa. The variety of meat selection is great, lengua, cabeza, pastor you name it. (They even have pescado for .25 cents more) Tacos are $2 each which isn't too bad for what you're getting actually. All of the staff are very professional and despite the long line and wait, got food out as quickly as they could. I expect they'll get better with time. They have aguas frescas too, which are okay. I'm definitely going to come back, my good Mexican food prayers, and yours, have now been answered. read more

Good tacos, good meals. The fish burrito is one of the best and they're always very speedy making orders. Really enjoy this place

I love their carne asada tacos but they're so small. Oh well. Still delicious!

I grew up in a Mexican community, so I have high standards for Mexican food, and when I came to the Bay Area, I was so sad that it's hard to find good tacos anywhere. I would say if you're on the hunt - Tacos Sinaloa is probably the best you'll find. It's not to die for like tacos from my hometown in the Central Valley or in San Diego, but its pretty good for the Bay Area in my opinion! read more

Can I just that the Taco Gods have heard my prayers? I was always a fan of their taco truck in East Oakland, so when I heard they had a restaurant, I was ecstatic! Definitely lives up to their standards and I found myself smiling as I devoured their lengua, carne asada, and carnitas tacos. Totally recommend all the tacos as the meats were well seasoned and tender. I especially enjoyed the pickled carrots and jalapeños. Horchata was good, but a tad too sweet. Will be back to enjoy more taco happiness :) read more

Tacos Sinaloa - Carnitas, Carne Asada, and Lengua Tacos (w/all toppings) and Horchata - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

I used to love this place. Looks like they changed their menu recently. In the past I was able to get a burrito with guacamole, veggies and everything in it for a reasonable price. Now burritos are 14$ and all you get is rice, beans and meat. What the fuck???? In addition to that service was rude, defensive and unfriendly. The Cabeza was super salty too. Not sure what happened to this place, the food used to be so good. Not coming here ever again... chipotle is much better and more affordable. read more

Normally, I never write a review without adding some photos, but I feel like any photos I would add to this review wouldn't really do it justice. If you want to see what a burrito looks like, look at previous photos. Yep, that's what they look like. But how do they taste? Wow, well, that's where I can try to help out. First, I get that there are all types of burritos and everyone has their favorite. From ones with tons of veggies to those that are just meat and beans. Sinaloa burritos are somewhere in between. I ordered two burritos: suadero and shrimp/camarones. Most of the burrito is rice, protein, and beans. But it is so well seasoned you don't need anything else. I am one of those people who feels like food isn't complete if you don't have some hot sauce or jalapenos to add. Well, with these burritos, the heat level is just right for me, so I can eat an entire burrito without wanting to add anything to it. The suadero, being a rarer cut of meat, was interesting, but I preferred the shrimp and can't wait to try burritos with all the other protein choices. read more

The first thing my friend said in gleeful proclamation was how authentic and amazing the tortillas were; she even went on to say that even her parents' tacqueria didn't use tortillas as nice as these. They are super generous with their meat here as well and the presentation of the tacos are very orderly. It comes with pickled jalapeños and carrots, as well as beets and a slice of lime. However, me being me I wish they had more onions and cilantro (: there might have been a slight mix up in my order (which is why I can't say anything about the meat because I don't know which one I got!) due to the sheer volume of people, but despite the small hiccup the workers were very kind. Aqua Fresca is refreshing, very non offensive. I got the pineapple which was sweet enough to keep me sipping on it when I wanted balance from the tacos. They have a grand offering sale where first ten people fri-sat-sun (9/18-20) will get free tacos. And for Friday (their true grand opening) they have a buy two tacos, get one free. Because of that, the lines are outside the door, but fear not! Line goes by quickly as do the orders. And another plus is that the interior is quite small so lines out the door shouldn't mean much. This does mean that take out would be better (: they also accept card! read more

I agree that this is one of the better Mexican places in Berkeley but is it the best that I've had? Nope. But it does meet expectations and I know that a lot of my friends enjoy coming here. I have had tried bites of all the burritos and, maybe it's because I'm more health conscious, but I think that the burritos are too heavy. But they are flavorful so one bite satisfies. And, also, if you want a meal... Their super burritos are quite huge so some of my guy friends have to save it for two meals. In terms of tacos, which is the only thing I've ordered, the carnitas have been my favorite but sometimes it can be a bit dry. What I do appreciate is the stuff that comes on the side. Their carrots, jalepenos, and radishes are a go to for me! read more

My go-to place to get tacos in Berkeley!! I usually come on Taco Tuesdays for the buy 4 get 1 free deal (Note: deal does not apply during the summer). My total is just under $10. There is typically a line for dinner on Tuesdays. The line often extends out the door during the school year, but it is always worth the wait! The employees do a great job in getting the orders out as quickly as they can. I always order 2 pork stomach, 2 carnitas, and 1 carne asada tacos. All three of these meats are great, but pork stomach is my absolute favorite. These meats pair really well with the included onions, cilantro, and salsa. These tacos are really flavorful and juicy! Don't forget to ask for lime once your tacos are ready. I also normally get a strawberry horchata. It's the perfect pink drink with just the right amount of sweetness, and is a great addition to your tacos. It's a pretty small shop so there is very limited seating especially if you come with a group. Overall, I highly recommend Tacos Sinaloa. read more

So happy that Tacos Sinaloa is here now!!! Got three tacos - asada, pastor, and suadero. Asada and suadero were crispy and juicy, and pastor had a nice kick to it. Suadero is the winner though. The grilled chili was clutch. Only downside is that the restaurant does get pretty hot and there doesn't seem to be much ventilation... Then again, maybe I just can't handle the heat :P read more
