They even ensured I had enough salsa! The green salsa is my fav. I could buy a bottle of it! It was raining so I didn't sit and eat outside at the table provided. I ate back at home but was mad that I only got 4 tacos. I will certainly be back to try their surf and turf burrito!!

As all the other reviewers said, they were delicious. I believe they use a chuck roast instead of a steak cut. Identical to a truck I have visited for 20 years in Guerneville. Absolutely delicious tacos. I will definitely return when I am in the area.

It doesn't get more convenient then walking directly above the Bart station at downtown Berkeley…read moreand having a nice diner to eat at. Original Pollo has been around a long time and for good reason. The menu is quite extensive with some Mediterranean Cuisine along with old fashion classic American diner food. Also popular is the breakfast burrito which is why I visited on this occasion. So how was the breakfast burrito? It was solid. A nice amount of ingredients which included bacon and sausage. They use country potatoes, so with each bite there is a meaty potato inside. The favors were good but I thought the salsa provided really enhanced the overall enjoyment. The staff are great and very friendly. The eatery itself has both inside and outside tables to dine at. Original Pollo is a great quick bite with a nice casual feel.

I stopped by Original Pollo's Fresh Homemade Foods on Shattuck in Berkeley. This spot has been…read morearound for over 35 years, so I had to finally check it out. It has that family-oriented, neighborhood café vibe--small, cozy, and welcoming. I ordered the #5 breakfast special, which comes with two eggs and a waffle, but I added an extra egg and got some toast on the side, plus a coffee. * The eggs were excellent--fresh, tasty, and cooked well. * The waffle was decent--not amazing, but good enough for a simple breakfast. * The toast was just okay, nothing special, but it did the job. * The coffee was a nice touch and rounded out the meal. The staff (just two people working when I was there) were friendly and made me feel at home even while keeping busy. They greeted everyone and made the place feel welcoming. By the time I arrived, there were already people seated, and more folks kept coming in--definitely not packed, but steady enough to show it's a local favorite. Overall, it's a nice little diner-style café that feels like part of the Berkeley community. If you're in the area and want a hearty breakfast before or after a Cal game, this is a solid choice. Two thumbs up from me.

The service was great and the vendor enjoyed capturing my grandsons attention and he served us up some tasty food with a big smile. My grandson and I had not problem polishing off a chicken and pork tamale. Dang they are really so good. Maybe a little on the pricey side compared to other tamale options out there, but more than worth it when you sink your chops into such fine food. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in town! The setting and ambience are perfect since the stand is located in the parking lot of an automobile service station - an excellent choice for setting up shop!

I grew up in San Diego so I'm a burrito snob Highkey lol. The California here is pretty good. Tried an asada taco before. Just tried the Korean burrito which I really enjoyed and the Jamaica drink.

Prices aren't listed so I had to ask about some prices. It was $10. If you pay cash, you don't need to pay taxes. The burrito itself was quite good. Tangy, spicy, with all the usual suspects. The avocado was perfectly buttery and ripe, but not overly ripe. If there was anything to criticize it was maybe the mix, which was a bit uneven, but it made for quite a journey, so in the end I can't really fault it. Recommended!

You can never know the location of too many great taco trucks. This one was clean inviting had good customer service and all the food looked very fresh. I ordered one taco mainly to see what it looked like and how its presentation was. And if you look at the picture you will have the answer to that period plus a couple surprises percouple surprises. For 1 thing they gave a good amount of meat on top of the taco. The next thing I noticed is they gave chips on the plate with the food and I didn't have to ask for them. Then I was surprised and then by was surprised and by seeing slices of fresh cucumber on the plate with the customary radish that is usually served. Nice and refreshing to have with a meal. Also I asked if they had jalapenos in escobeche. Look at our photo of this plate. It was gorgeous. Because this food is an origin that is different from the one truck that I normally go to, The stylist that of food from the area known as the state of Michoacan in Mexico. The seasoning on the meat is slightly different. I had the Carnitas. It was juicy and delicious. And the portion was generous. We would easily return and try the platelets next visit.

I paid $17.50 for two regular shrimp tacos, but each one only had about four small shrimp and some carrots--very little filling and not worth the price at all.

First of all, the guacamole from this place is the worst I've ever had in a restaurant. It's as if it was put in a blender with water. It's watery, and has almost no flavor. Awful. The chips taste like supermarket chips. Nothing special about them. My burrito bowl was a hot mess. I paid extra for two kinds of meat, and if I got one serving, that's saying a lot. Everything was really wet, and it was almost like a soup. Terrible. No texture to any of this at all. The bean and cheese burrito was fine. The super burrito was fine, but again paid for two kinds of meat, and there was barely one serving of meat on it. The esquite was very good. I had a friend over, and that's why I ordered the food, and it was an embarrassment.
