My go-to Mexican spot in Berkeley. Wonderful patio outside (and free parking behind the building),…read morehouse-made salsa, $13 burritos, and some of the best carnitas I've ever had. Order at counter - seating options are mainly outside on the patio with just a few tables inside. Chips aren't included in the order unfortunately, but worth it to spend a few bucks on chips and salsa! The burritos here are hefty, try them with the carnitas. Not too oily, crisp edges and tender in the middle... the dream. Their fried fish tacos are FRESHLY fried which is a world of difference - hefty portion. I tend to get their grande tacos, they're a meal in itself. A good way to try their different meats too! Their menudo is something special, worth the price with an ample helping of tripe and fresh veg. Can't go wrong here. Kind workers, great outdoor ambiance especially with summer coming up, and good prices compared to many other berkeley spots.

THE BEST MEXICAN in Berkeley!!!…read more My home away from home. Super friendly vibe and amazing food. The plátanos tropicales are served with this super duper yummy white sauce. For lunch, I usually get a veggie burrito with extra pico, guacamole, and sour cream. It's $17 and change, but I get two meals out of it (unless my husband gets to the leftovers before me). Plus they have this lovely outdoor patio with tables both in the shade and sun and complimentary green and red salsa. Best of all - they allow dogs!! That factor alone puts this place in my top three or maybe even top two lunch spots in Berkeley, lol. Our doggie soaks up the attention of the dozens of adoring fans.

The staff is friendly and food is prepared promptly after ordering. I'm obsessed with their Baja fish burrito which you can get it grilled or fried, and upgraded to a super burrito. The garlic cream sauce is addicting and tasty, plus the fish is always fresh and succulent. I also love the avocado & cilantro salsa. I honestly think about this burrito at least once a day!

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.

Hello everyone, Sara here back at again with the real sh*t reviews! . Recently my son and his…read moregirlfriend went to tour Berkeley, because she's super smart and he's a great athlete (great couple .) So since we're in the city of culture I wanted to fully delve myself and my new family into this beautiful establishment. (Long story short my son's girlfriend is half Afghanistani and half Cubana) (She's spicy and we love her ) (Amazing addition to the family) We came here in honor of her beautiful mixed culture, might I say... I LOVED IT!!! So first of all, I ordered a burrito (since it's my review the kids' orderes' don't matter) this burrito was the best thing I've ever put in my mouth and I've put a lot in there. The meat was so tender and tasteful and tubular and tummy exciting I have to know the recipe for my future grandkids . Second of all the service was divine and the server was cute and polite might I add. Third of all, I just loved the overall expierence and I definitely will be coming back. Thank you Afghani Burrito.

And all other ingredients, including their guac used to taste so good and fresh. Well, it went downhill in the past few months. Everything feels more stale, especially the guac. The guac was one of the best a long time ago. Now it often has dark strakes and tastes off. Sad but not eating there anymore.

Our server Chevo was running around but got everyone's order correct. The food came out hot and beautifully presented.

I'll be back for brunch soon!

Another family arrived no reservation got seated after us. We got sat outside, and it was cold. Server took so long to take drink orders and to take our order. While everyone else outside was being checked on & having there orders come out at a decent time. By the time we ordered and received our order we never Were offered chips /salsa. Our food was beyond lukewarm. They forgot my child's main dish. They rushed an order of grilled chicken & and it tasted nasty. You could either taste the chicken juice or it was spoiled chicken. The chicken mole had maybe half a breast of chicken. The entire plate was random chilly pepper/ pickled onion. Along with my fajitas. Chicken was decent but had random veggies. Grilled asparagus/ pickled radish/ the basic onion/ bell pepper. No salad, no Guac, no sour cream. Back to the service- we returned the Chicken only to get $5 off the bill. The server was nice but wasn't attentive, never had came back to check on us. I had to go up and ask for the bill. Idk the service and food was horrible. The food had no season and didn't taste like anything. Don't recommend ever

With busy days, we were looking for something open after 9p, and this spot had late hours...I believe until midnight! With drink specials and complimentary chips, we liked the sound of that. We had a vegetarian eater in our group and they loved having a variety of healthier and palate pleasing options. We ordered a chorizo quesadilla, chicken nachos, and a veggie enchilada plate. Drink-wise, they have beer/wine and yummy sangria. So of course we went with a pitcher of the sangria :) The portions were large and ample. Food was solid. Staff were friendly, plenty of indoor seating, a small adjacent parking lot and exterior street parking. Quick service, order at register and grab a number upon finding a table. Prices fair.

The service here was okay--nothing terrible, but not super welcoming either. The woman at the…read morecounter kept asking a lot of questions about what we wanted in our burritos, and it felt like each add-on might have been an extra charge. We ended up paying about $40 for two burritos (both with mole sauce and extras like cheese on one ) plus one horchata, which felt a bit high for what we got especially since it's advertised as $13 for a burrito. That said, the food itself was good. Everything came out nice and warm, and the mole sauce was really flavorful. My burrito (without cheese) was just okay, but my husband's--with cheese--was definitely more tasty and satisfying. One thing that was disappointing: their website shows a margarita which is part of why we walked over, but they only had bottled beer available. That felt a little misleading. Overall, decent food, but between the pricing, service, and drink situation, it didn't fully hit the mark.
