    Burrito Mojado
    Suraj P.

    First time trying Los Moles and I really enjoyed the food! Most people were there for the buffet but there didn't seem to be a lot of veggie options, so we ordered from the menu. The drinks were strong, in the best way! Our waiter was very friendly and helped us decide on some options. It was pretty busy inside but the atmosphere was very fun and enjoyable. Would definitely go back!

    Haven't tried the buffet but solid vegetarian burrito. I love all the options they have! Good and strong mezcal margarita as well. Service was good and the place was busy. Will definitely come again.

    Nice ambiance with good service & a wide variety of yummy choices. Great place for friends or family to enjoy.

    Carne Asada Camarones Rancheros

    Love coming here I recommend it to people all the time. I took my family here after my graduation and we had a great time. The staff was lovely and very attentive, we got drinks during happy hour and they were very good and surprisingly strong. The place is always clean and the food has never disappointed. I'm sad to be moving back to SoCal because it means I won't have it again but I know I'll be back whenever I return to the Bay Area!

    I've come here a few times and every time it gets better and better Their house tequila is by far top-tier The food never disappoints and always exceeds my expectations Their Saturday and Sunday brunch is one of the best in the Bay Area, serving both posole and Menudo The staff is extremely friendly and attentive to your needs The place overall is beautifully decorated and clean

    Beef fajitas plate

    Graduation Lunch at Los Mikes in Emeryville today, a Mexican restaurant that offers a selection of mole sauces. They had a great selection, and we all got something different. All the plates look great, from birria tacos, burritos, enchiladas with mole sauce, and fajitas. They served chicken, shredded beef, carnitas, and carne asada. I had the enchiladas with mole sauce. It had a lot of flavor, but i wasn't fond of the mole sauce. The service was very nice, but he was pretty busy with other tables. I was very hungry so I ate most of it, but it wouldn't be my first choice for Mexican food.

    Weekend buffet
    Chris W.

    $25 for a weekend dinner buffet is hard to beat - plenty of mole and other meat and vegetarian options, including two types of soups. Flavors on the milder side but their hot salsa is very hot. Tortillas are heated on the spot for each table but very thick. Menudo soup is ok (with beef), but also lacking flavor. Rich comfort food, you will leave very full.

    Mole Mama Elena with veggies
    Krupa T.

    The service and ambiance was good when I went to order and pickup in the restaurant. The mole was good but it was taken away by how thick the tortilla was. The beans were fine but not great. They were lacking some of the flavor that I expect from Mexican food. Overall it was fine but I'm not going to go back due to the flavors.

    Street parking can be tough with the residential apartments, breweries, and other restaurants nearby. Ordered the Mole Poblano and Carne Asada burrito with chipotle mole. The food is delicious if you like a wet dish. Great selection of mole, but it would be great if the mobile apps can provide a short description for the different options and mole. For example, they list a bunch of mole but you can't tell what kind of mole it is from the name such as "mama luisa mole". My order was to-go and they don't always include the hot sauces so you gotta check and ask for some if it's not in your bag!

    Los Molés All-You-Can-Eat Taco Buffet in Emeryville: Taco Heaven on a Tuesday Los Molés in Emeryville hosts a fantastic all-you-can-eat taco buffet on Tuesdays that's perfect for families and crowds. It was a busy night with the place packed, but we got our food super quickly despite the hustle ~ impressive service kept everything moving smoothly. The variety blew us away on our first visit: tons of different meats seasoned just right, heaps of fresh vegetables, and generous portions of everything you could imagine. You can go back for seconds (or thirds) as many times as you like, and every bite was packed with bold, flavorful goodness. The horchata was a refreshing highlight too ~ creamy and spot-on. The busy, fun atmosphere made it an ideal spot to bring kids, with non-stop energy and satisfied smiles all around. We'll definitely be back for more of this taco feast! Highly recommend.

    Enmoladas: Mole mango. Little sweet but not too much
    Nikole D.

    Great restaurant that looks like all the aunties are there making sure you're taken care of . Good space with tvs and good music to create a welcoming homey vibe. Food: I ordered the 3 crispy tacos. With grilled beef. Originally did not want to eat here considering the prices were a little high. However, after taking the first bite, I knew I was paying for flavor and fresh ingredients. The tacos are small, but with the rice and beans on the side, it fills you up quite nicely. The enmoladas: mango mole, was what my mom ordered. Originally we wanted the arroz verde, but they sold out. The flavor was nice and they do not skimp on the meat inside. Every bite is a fork full of meat. And we ordered the chicken so the seasoning was just right. After walking around IKEA for hours, this was a nice spot to relax and satisfy our hunger. Will be back, but next time I'm adding drinks!!

    Tacos
    Reeven S.

    Went here for AYCE Taco Tuesday and it was a pleasant experience. Surprisingly, there wasn't that long of a wait at around 7 PM. The price of an AYCE taco is very worth it. Some may say that the tacos are a bit bland/not the best they've had, BUT the price you're paying for unlimited, decent tacos?? WORTH. They have a sauces, limes and lemons, onions and a variety of other toppings. The staff were very friendly, always cleaning up our emptied plates as soon as we finish. The restaurant is decent in size, can definitely hold large parties.

    I use to come here about 7 years ago and ended up moving out of California. I came back for nostalgic purposes and the food is as great as I remember it to be. Ambience and service is like your family runs it.

Both the cocktails and snacks came timely, and we enjoyed conversation and community chatting with other locals/tourists visiting Berkeley for a short time. The vibes are right in Tipsea and I dig the nautical ambiance/theme/play on words. Worthy of a stop through; street parking on Shattuck/paid garages nearby, but ride-share sometimes easiest for these locations.

THIS IS A GREAT BAR. one of the best I ever been to. Their food is so good, I am still thinking about their prawn street tacos and the prawn flatbread. I wish I had some right now! I can taste it in my mouth, oh lord. They have one of the BEST BARTENDERS EVER, her name is Adela, I hope I am spelling that correctly. She was so beautiful, she had long beautiful dread locks. We talked and she was very welcoming her and Nicholas who birthday was a day before mines, he was so cool. They made sure we had everything we needed and our drinks was to our likings, she was very very informative about our drinks, what was in it, and she even had great detail to the things we wanted/looking for in our drinks.
