Fat burrito at a reasonable price and last for days. Tastes good too. I had it for lunch and dinner for 3 days and still tasted good. I would definitely recommend them if you live in the area. I don't but I do visit the area so I just might be making my way back here for a good affordable burrito. The old man that made my burrito was fast so I was in and out in no time. They have tables to eat at but majority everyone was just getting it to go. Parking is crowded but likely to have an open space Busy area near a lot of other popular businesses read more

I really didn't want to leave a bad review here but they really messed up. The food was cold and the 2 grumpy old men couldn't be more rude. A totally disaster. Not coming to this place again. read more

Decent place to grab tacos in Pinole. I've heard their burritos here are good but I've yet to try them. The al pastor tacos were huge but not as flavorful as other spots in a 15 minute radius. Service was quick and the restaurant was bright and spacious, which was convenient. I'd come back again just to see if the burritos are as good as people tell me they are! read more

I didn't want to leave a bad review but I needed to share how bad my experience was. My partner & I decided to grab a quick bite to go after being in the Metro next door. Ordered asada nachos and an asada quesadilla. We tried the nachos first & my first chip was mostly their refried beans...they tasted old & bland. So I grabbed another chip with a piece of meat & guacamole...yuck, the meat tasted like old mop. We then said let's try the quesadilla, I took a little bite then my partner did...again absolutely no good. The meat was nasty & had that old mop/wet rag taste. We threw both full plates in the dumpster immediately. Total waste of $29!!! We were discussing after & both realized the man fixing our plates didn't use gloves & his appearance looked unkempt. The cooking & prep area weren't the best looking. The beans did look tight like they were sitting there a long while as well as the other bins of food. read more

Went in pretty late, they were super nice and accommodating!! The burritos were humongous!! And delicious!! We will be back!

This is a great place if you love Mexican food and want to have a lot of meat!!! We went there on a Sunday a little before noon. Most of the chairs were on top of the tables. However, there were booths along the wall where we sat and ate our lunch. Reasonably priced. Not fancy, but very tasty! I couldn't believe how much delicious carnitas they put on my tacos!!! I had quacamole added to my tacos--it was a generous portion. read more

Seriously, good Mexican food at a very reasonable price. Kind of in a weird spot in Richmond shopping mall but very good food.

Honestly don´t judge a book by its cover till you try it! This place uses the WHOLE TORTILLA dude! What taqueria do you know around a caucasian area that does that?! Me and my husband ate every last bit of our food. Came over here cause Sizzlers was asking for too much, so we found this gem and happy asf that we did. Everything in the burriot was EVEN amounts when biting into it. A south pacific family new to this area and will def be back. read more

I used to really love this place and it was my favorite Taqueria and I would come here all the time and then something went downhill with their cleaning regimen because suddenly there was like roaches or bugs everywhere. And this really like depressed me because the food was so good, but it made me very nervous to see them crawling along the ground under the tables, I would go back, but I don't know what's been going on for a while now. Maybe they address this because this was a little over a year ago. read more

I ordered online for pickup with explicit instructions on how my burrito should be made; rice, refried beans and cheese, ONLY. They were totally ignored! I've been going here for years but I'll have to rethink this place that I used to like so much. You take your chances ordering online verses actually being there to watch them make your order correctly because this is not the first time this has happened with online ordering (I should have learned my lesson by now). Also, the chile verde burrito I ordered was dry and I don't even think it was chile verde...who knows! I'll have to find another place that respects online instructions on how I want my food made that I pay too much for, in my opinion, to be made incorrectly! read more

Still my go-to place for burritos! I love getting a mix of Carnitas and the Chile Colorado Chicken. The 2 make for a really great pairing. (I don't recommend the Chile Colorado Beef with the Carnitas though, didn't vibe as well.) Their burritos are still huge and reasonably priced. They don't skimp on the meats. If you're a fan of truly spicy things, their hot sauce is the hottest of any Mexican place I've found yet. I like to add both the medium and hot sauce to my burritos. They go really well together. read more

I am going to rate the food and not the inside of the place. Does anyone remember a Radio Shack and Round Table Pizza next to this place??? Their food is quite a big proportion. I have eaten here for over 20 years now. I do enjoy having a huge burrito and not eating afterward. I have had their tacos which is big but it was very good! I will admit the burrito can easily fall apart but if you can eat fast then it is no problem. I would say it can be soggy but still good. Just have a fork to pick up the meat that falls off. Reasonable price for a burrito and taco. I have gone to other places that is a rip off for burrito and not as big as this place. 5 stars on the food. Not going to complain about the inside and the service. As long as the food is good I will not complain. I am aware on the review from people saying the inside is gross. I am aware of the restaurant not being up to health code. I will continue to get food from them. read more

I wanted some tacos, and decided to stop by. Tacos are $4 each so I ordered two chicken tacos. I had noticed that the guy making my tacos was not wearing gloves, but was using utinsles to add the ingredients. I decided to let that go since I didn't feel like being that custmer to make a thing about gloves. After paying I decided to eat in the car while they were still hot. They were not good at all and very disappointing. The chicken tasted dry with very little flavor. Plus, every fer bites had a burt charcole taste. I didn't even finish the last bite becsuae it had such a strong burnt flavor that I spit it out. read more

I was really craving nachos after my spa day, and couldn't find any authentic Mexican places near here for hardcore melty nacho goodness. This place has "nacho cheese" with quotation marks -- an honest question, do Mexican people really like that stuff? Isn't actual melted cheese more authentic and preferable? Kindly educate me. The guy poured a ladle full of pickled jalapenos WITH JUICE all over my nachos, making them a damp soggy, smelly mess. I sent it back pronto and they re-made it. The only good thing about this place is that I saw a guy cleaning the tables with bleach. So even if you have a shitty meal you won't get dysentery while eating it. read more

Taqueria Aquililla - Nachos plus guacamole 4.89 including tax. This is the second plate of nachos - I sent back the first one. - Mexican Near Me - Pinole, California

Space: big space, but not always clean because I only see two or three people working all the time. So you will have to clean some tables if busy. Do not expect a Walnut Creek type restaurant, okay? Food: the best I've tried around the area. Cooked well and seasoned well. I love the carne asada plate, it comes with beans, rice, veggies (tomatoes, onions, cilantro, shredded cabbage) and tortilla on the side. I always ask them to grill my meat with the onions and jalapeños. Yum! My BF always orders burrito, which is a HUGE size! I don't think I can ever finish it; in fact sometimes, he can't finish it. Drinks: soda fountain, but extra if you get another cup. Bottled Latino and American drinks. They also have coffee :) Price/Method of Payment: the best! Good portion, good price. And when I said good portion, I don't mean good portion like portion you'd get from Walnut Creek or Napa, but big portion. Good for the price. Accepts credit card, but no AMEX. Restroom: sorry, never used their restroom all the times we were there. Staff/Service: good polite folks. Family. read more

The food is ass tastes like school lunch extremely bland and mushy and the service is even worse ,went there with a friend of mine and when the guy was making our burritos something fell out of his mouth onto the food and he acted like it never happened and he constantly yelled at us when ordering horrible place I would not recommend for anyone to get food from here. read more

As a first timer I was not disappointed. I hate dry burritos and in this case it wasn't, I was happy! I asked for the spiciest salsa they had and OMG, was it bomb. Great flavor. Also, they make fat burritos, and it's great price. Definitely will be back! read more

The greatest burrito I've ever had in my life. I've been coming here for years, I grew up on this place and it's still standing for a reason. I see some reviews that say they had a bad experience with this establishment and I feel sorry that you never experienced the awesome that is this Taqueria. You get a burrito and you get carne asada, pollo, chile verde or collorado and that's it. That is their staple and it's what make them super bomb. I always grab a coke in a bottle because that shit is straight from Mexico and they use real cane sugar so you taste the difference and I like it better than American coke. Plus. Their burritos are huge and you will either not finish it or finish it and hate yourself for the next few days which I do all the time which is totally worth it. Granted the place may look dirty and old but that's old time Pinole man. You all say your want the taste of the authentic Mexican? Well you think you go to Mexico and you have a five star, eat off the floor type of restaurant? Hell no bro, they are all shitty in the hole spots with amazing food which is exactly what this place is so if you really have OCD about the cleanliness of the restaurant then take it to go. My family has always come here for years and have never gotten sick at all from the food so it doesn't have anything to do with the cleanliness, just the age of the building. Overall best burrito I have ever had and now that I go to school at UCSC I miss it everytime I have a burrito here. Once you've had the best, your tastebuds are ruined for all other burritos. read more

Shut the front door! This is my accidental find. I jumped off the freeway to go to my old chain Taqueria down the way. Come to find out they were no longer. A moment of silence please for the fallen taco soldier...... ... ... ... ....but now HELLO to this place. Hot damn. You know you are movin in the right direction when you walk in and see a dozen vatos gettin their grub on. My road dawg and I split the Asada Nachos and watched some hella funny cowboy gunsmoke telemundo while chasing it all down with some kern's mango.

What happened to this place! New owners or cooks? We used to get take out enchilada dinners every week or so for years and years. About a year ago they started skimping on the food and the taste was not as good. So we didn't go for a year until tonight. Marinated Pork Enchilada was OK but a little soggy. The rice and beans were AWFUL! Both were very soggy and unpalatable. The beans just tasted bad! I could not eat more than a spoonful of each. Sorry to see this place go downhill because it is so close to home and use to be so good! read more

I have been here before and I was happy to go back BUT THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!

Sooo delicious. Fantastic customer service. Very glad this place is open and offering takeout! They have a 4.5 star rating on Google. Not sure why their yelp reviews are not equally awesome. I love this place! read more

This spot serves amazing food but the amount of times me and my coworker have came here after 11am (the opening time) and the workers have said they don't open until a later time is ridiculous. Today we came in at 12:10 and they still said they aren't opening until 30 more minutes, there were 3 workers in there. The thing that throws us off every time is that they leave their front door open which is very misleading if there not open. If you're on a tight schedule and want reliability I wouldn't recommend this spot. They don't have accurate or consistent hours. read more

I've tried coming here for the past three weeks because I am a huge fan of their burritos (I had been there two times prior to the three weeks I'm writing about above) up to that point I would have given them higher review, anyways back to the point. I get there on a Thursday at 11:20am for my lunch break,Opening time is 11am, the guy tells me they don't open until 12, but I've ordered there at 11 before with different workers. The next two times I come in it's past 12 and the same guys tell be they don't open until 12:30. Every time they were going higher on the time because they weren't prepared. They're very inconsistent and careless. Three times in three weeks my lunch time has been thrown off because they aren't prepared. It's a great place to eat but the customer service and reliability has to be better is they want to keep customers coming in. Specially in these times. read more

I moved from the LA area to Northern California Bay Area. Took quit a bit of searching to find some authentic, delicious Mexican food. This is mainly tacos, burritos, quesadillas - but were they lack variety they make up with deliciousness. I generally get a chicken burrito which is the size of a zeppelin and make two meals out of it. So happy I found this place! read more

Best ever. We stopped in after walking out of a fancy restaurant and we were treated like family. The food was above anything I've ever had. My honey loved it so much he went in the back to shake the hand of the chef. If you are near you should go. read more

Way better places in the hood for the same price. The guy at the counter wasn't pleasant to deal with and it bothered me that they charged for adding every single thing besides the meat, rice and beans. He didn't wrap the burritos correctly and when we got home there was a mess. read more

Wow. Pretty mediocre Mexican food. Came here cause the husband was craving some nachos on a Saturday afternoon. Tried to call ahead for pick up, but no number on google maps and the phone number on yelp was off the hook. When I arrived there, the place was empty but 2 customers and 2 employees. I decided to order a burrito also but was disappointed when they said they didn't have any al pastor meat. So I got carne asada nachos and carnitas burrito with pinto beans and "everything" on both of them. Little did I know that everything included shredded lettuce on the nachos and burrito. Fail. Major fail. There is nothing I like less than lettuce on a burrito let alone on nachos. I got an horchata to wash it down, that was really tasty actually. Both of the items were edible but not great. The employees were friendly and when I asked why the phone call wouldn't go through the guy said that they used to get people calling in orders and not picking them up. Honest response. I appreciate that. read more

The tacos this restaurant serves for $3.00 each are a good decent size for the price! I would of enjoyed it more if he hadn't forgot the lemon like Traditional Tacos come with.
