Must be a popular spot, and I can see why. The vibes are casual and fun- would love to have events here in the future. My coffee was rich and perfectly sweet.

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.

My husband is a big foodie, so whenever we're in Berkeley, we always look for a place to stop and…read moreenjoy something delicious. This time, I stopped in to pick up some pan dulce, and I had such a wonderful experience. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the cashier. I don't remember her name, but she told me she was from Nicaragua. Her kindness, friendliness, and genuine smile immediately made me feel welcome. It may seem like a small gesture, but great customer service makes such a big difference. We all get so busy and distracted these days that sometimes we forget how meaningful a warm greeting can be. She truly brightened my day, and I wanted to take a moment to thank her for making me feel so welcome. The pan dulce was delicious, and the outstanding customer service made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back!

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!

The staff were incredible, attentive without being overbearing, and just made the whole experience even better. I tried the super burrito, and while it wasn't the best I've ever had, it was still solid and definitely worth ordering. Highly recommend if you're looking for great atmosphere and great service.

Our absolute, hands-down favorite Mexican restaurant in the whole bay!…read more My wife and I were raised on home-cooked Mexican food in Los Angeles, so when we moved to the bay area, we tried as many places as we could find (mostly all decent, it's still California after all) but this place tastes like home! They have menudo and pozole, rich and flavorful but not too greasy, high-quality without getting too fancy. Generous portions, fresh tortilla chips, lots of yummy salsas, and plenty of Mexican sodas. Great taco Tuesday prices too! The entire place is covered in tiles and bright colors, the service is great, and they can accommodate custom orders like no dairy or crispy tortillas (if you ask nicely). Can't recommend Talavera's enough and we'll be back soon!

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.
