    Unfortunately, this place fell off. They took out their best taco, which was the ribeye taco. Their meat is under seasoned, and I found hair in my taco. Service needs a little more work. I feel like when restaurants expand they don't put enough effort to all their restaurants, and the food quality goes down. They need to revamp this location because it wasn't what it was before.

    I was nice to come here for a taco or just to have a drink and sit outside and enjoy outdoor seating. they've got great chips and a salsa and avocado dip. The service is great.

    5 Tacos and Beers does it again! I don't want to jinx it, but I have yet to come here and not enjoy the experience. From the delicious margaritas to the refreshing cucumber salad to the flavorful tacos, I always leave feeling full and happy.

    Brunch at Five Tacos & Beers is always a delicious treat! The service and the food never disappoint. In the ambience is always is always the cherry on top. Today I have one of my favorites, Chilaquiles and a hibiscus margarita. Both were absolutely yummy! This will always be one of my favorite spots.

    Great ambiance, decent food, friendly & knowledgeable server but poor service. When we were seated, we were a party of 5 (with 2 kids) and there were only 4 table settings. After we received our appetizer, we had to ask for a fifth setting twice. After our appetizer was long gone, the two vegan plates came out. The big taco order came out 15 minutes later. The kids were getting restless. At this point, we had just two drinks and were hoping the server would come by so we could ask for water. We ended up asking for water 3 times (like we didn't even start with water!). We eventually got water at the end of our meal. I do appreciate that there was an entire vegan/vegetarian section on the menu and those tacos were quite good. Not my top pick for tacos but it was decent.

    Overall, the food is good here! The service is really sweet, and they offer a wide variety of drinks and mocktails--the mocktails are especially good. The ambiance is nice; I usually sit at the bar, and they occasionally have live music, which adds to the vibe. I enjoy coming here for the variety of vegetarian options--everything feels authentic and tasty.

    We love this place BECUASE of the delicious drinks and tacos. We always get the 10 taco plate and the birria because of the flavor. You have to pair it with the delicious crispy beer

    A very nice place to have lunch outside on a warm fall day. I had the crispy tacos and my friend had the fresh salad. Disappointed that their non-alcoholic beverage list was on the skimpy side -- no ginger beer or ginger ale. My tacos were delicious although many might consider them appetizer size. See my attached photo. The salad looked good although not efflorescent. All in all a tasty meal for the money but was left a little on the hungry side after. Service was good although busy.

    Nice lunch! Cheery atmosphere! Started with a delicious house margarita! Perfect! Ordered a grilled halibut; grilled chicken & a short rib fried taco trio $19 They were really good!

    This time we signed up for their frequent membership. Still love this place. The cocktails are so good. I could live off their chips and salsa. The chips are cooked fresh and crunchy with enough salt. The service is efficient and we got our food pretty fast , we got here around 12:30 pm on a weekday. The restaurant has ample seating and it has a lot of light inside. I like to sit by the window.

    Great food and ambience--the perfect vibe!!!!  a magical time

    Do they still have a meatless Monday menu?

    Are there gluten free options?

    I can't speak to their practice of prep & cleaning required for somebody with Celiac. Currently the vast majority of dishes on the menu (changes monthly) don't contain gluten, including: Tacos (and Quesabirrias), Corn-tortilla Flautas, Ceviche, and… Read more

    I've eaten at Cholita Linda's popups at the Old Oakland Farmer's Markets many years ago several…read moretimes, and also at their location on Telegraph, so it's great to see them expand into yet another brick and mortar spot - this time in the heart of Downtown Berkeley. I've always loved their fish tacos, which to me are better than any I've ever had in SoCal, including San Diego! Like their other permanent locations, here you will also find tacos with various fillings, lunch plates and other items. Walk on in and you'll find an airy clean open interior with high ceilings and plenty of seating and tables all around. Scan the laminated paper menu at the counter. The menu isn't big, but it's rather focused. No burritos here, just tacos, sandwiches (tortas) and big plates! Vegetarian/Vegan? There are several tofu-based offerings and a bigger salad too. Order up at the counter, grab a pager, find a seat, enjoy the Latin music over the speakers and before you know it, your order is presented before you. Trying to stay "healthy", I decided against my all-time favorite Baja fish tacos, and ordered the Pollo de Cholita plate. With this you get a big boneless chicken thigh marinated with herbs and mild spices with white rice, beans (black or pinto), a side salad of fresh mixed greens and three delicious fried plantains. The chicken thigh is flattened thin, but was totally moist and tender and most importantly flavorful and not overly marinated on the tongue. The rice with black beans and mixed greens in a light vinaigrette were the perfect neutral companion to the chicken, with the plantains providing a lightly fried sweet contrast and finish to the meal.. Suffice it to say, I loved this dish, and look forward to coming back!

Mind you, I'm in a different headspace when I come out of the gym, definitely hungry but flummoxed by guilt over excessive calorie intake after working out. Tacos can be fun, even tofu ones, and sanguches too, but I decided to go for what I surmised to be a healthy choice. It also turned out to be the priciest plate on the menu, the $14.65 Pollo de Cholita. I didn't regret my selection. It centered on a flattened boneless chicken thigh marinated in herbs & spices and grilled. It was surrounded by rice covered in pinto beans, a mixed green salad, and grilled plantains (Photo 7). Like my other experiences at other Cholita Linda, it was satisfying enough because the ingredients were fresh and the execution fine if you're looking for homestyle Mexican comfort food at a non-taqueria price point. FOOD - 4 stars...satisfying enough and healthy AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...pretty spacious for a fast food operation SERVICE - 4 stars...quite attentive and efficient TOTAL - 4 stars...dependable...I know what I'll get at Cholita Linda RELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

The masarepa flatbread was so fluffy, dense, and moist with a crispy exterior. The arepas were both loaded up with super flavorful filling that was so addicting. The guac is a bit on the citrusy side with the lime, but I loved it! Will def come back especially as the weather gets warmer!
