this place is phenomenal. funny enough i went to uc berkeley and i had no idea that such an…read moreincredible mexican restaurant was in berkeley. at this place my sister and i went. she got the chilaquiles and i got the chicken enchiladas. both dishes were phenomenal. the chilaquiles were crispy and flavorful and they really hit the spot for delicious brunch. the enchiladas were crispy with plenty of salsa. the salsa's tart and it's salty but it's not too tart or salty. it's very well balanced. i also enjoyed this additional salsa that they had available. it's like a red salsa and inside it's a gorgeous restaurant. there's also just a bunch of pastries that you can get if you want. my sister and i opted for coffee to enjoy with our brunch and the food is not necessarily cheap. however i think for the experience of sitting in such a beautiful cafe and having really delicious food, it is worth going out once in a while to la mission. service was awesome, staff was really friendly. the ambience was really really gorgeous for brunch. lots of families sitting around and enjoying delicious mexican food under the berkeley sun.

Service: 12/10 - Incredible, lovely people Atmosphere:…read more10/10 - beautiful outdoor seating Food: 7.5/10 Value for money: 9/10 The food is solid, but I'd rate this more as a "I'm craving Mexican food and it's 10pm" spot or a "we're starving and just need to have a good chill time" spot. Everything is pretty affordable, including generous servings of guac. It's a super chill, order at the counter style place, and would be great for games or a casual hangout dinner. The staff was incredibly accommodating and kind. Don't come here for Michelin quality food, though.

I've had burritos from here before and never thought they were anything special. This time, though,…read moreI got tacos. Very good decision! I got 2 pastor tacos and 1 carne asada. Both were excellent and paired very well with their salsa. Carne asada was cooked and cut perfectly, and tasted much better than when I had it in burritos in the past. Al pastor is very authentic and tastes better than most you can find in the area. Generous amount of onions (and some pineapple for the pastor). I really really enjoyed this, and I'm happy to have this option here in my neighborhood. Only negative is that their tortillas seem to collapse under the general sauciness. I usually prefer to have my salsa on the side, so maybe that's on me. Came out to about $15 for the three tacos which is pretty pricey. However, you do get some chips and salsa for free, and the quality of the food is pretty high. I'm reasonably happy to pay this price to support a nice establishment in my community. The place is clean and recently renovated, with a fairly friendly staff willing to accommodate customizations and requests. I will probably start coming here a lot more regularly after this most recent visit!

I REALLY wanted to like this place, but there's no flavor in anything we ate or drank. We ordered 2…read moredifferent burritos, chips & salsa, horchata, and agua fresca pina. I ate just enough so that I wasn't starving and left the rest. The other thing is that we waited 1 hour for 2 burritos. While there are 7-8 tables of people, I don't know why it takes 1 hour. They seem to have plenty of staff, but it takes a really long time.

I was staying in downtown Berkeley for work and was looking for a place for a birthday dinner for a…read morefriend. This place came highly recommended and I can see why. It has a unique menu, delicious food, and a trendy ambiance. Because she decided on this place the day of, she couldn't get a reservation but we showed up at 6 pm on a Thursday and had a table for five inside by 6:30. We waited at the bar and had drinks including a spectacular paloma-esque and local beer on tap. I can't have dairy but the chef made modifications on the duck enchiladas rojas. Everything was a flavor bomb in the best way except the duck had bones inside the enchiladas which made me think it was chicken thigh (looked the same). The rest of the guests loved their plates but we found the sizes of the plates odd. For example, the Mexican street corn was a huge plate of about 3 ears of corn but the tamal was just one tamal (for $15!) The service was very attentive despite a busy restaurant. They automatically charge a 20% service fee regardless of size of group. I appreciated that they didn't rush us out but I didn't like that they charged us for the birthday flan.

I give them 5 stars for atmosphere! Super cute place with amazing indoor outdoor seating…read more 5 stars to the bartender and staff! The best thing I had that night was my drink, it was delicious! And pretty. 3 stars for food, they didn't have the duck enchiladas so I went with the pork one they had that day. I wish it was cheesier, it was just ok for me. Guacamole, sauces and chips were good.
