The shrimp tacos are amazing! I've only gone twice and had steak, chicken and shrimp taco. The shrimp tacos are by far my favorite! So flavorful and cooked to perfection. I also love their green salsa. read more

Came to try the tacos since everyone keeps talking about how good this place was. To be honest, they're alright. Their meat is a little salty. I think the best items were their fish taco with the pico de callo, and their ceviche. Their frescas tasted a little artificial, but still refreshing. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for post-workout meal. Tried the Al pastor, carnitas, and shrimp tacos. All were delicious but the shrimp one was the best - succulent and big shrimp with a nice spicy sauce on top. Wash it all down with a horchata and you will get your Mexican food cravings satisfied. Casual spot with limited bar stool style seating inside. Service is quick and prices are affordable. Highly recommend if you're craving tacos in the Berkeley area! read more

Tacos Sinaloa - TACO ALPASTOR TACO CARNITAS TACO CAMARON HORCHATA CHICA - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

After two years on the East Coast, I had a late-night craving for some West Coast tacos. We headed to Sinaloa in Berkeley. The place was full of UC students, and the college town atmosphere was alive. I wanted to order a super burrito, but the sweet lady taking my order suggested a regular one would be enough. I'm glad I took her advice. The regular burrito was more than enough, and the carne asada was incredibly tasty. My wife enjoyed her chicken tacos. We enjoyed the late night dining experience. It was a great time. We will be back. read more

My partner and I love tacos and decided to give this place a try. I ordered two street tacos which were okay. The flavor wasn't bad but they were missing something else like a green sauce. My partner got the burrito bowl which was a better option. Inside was pretty clean and the service was good. read more

Tacos Sinaloa changed the game for me when it comes to tacos. Tacos were not something I often craved until I finally tried the carnitas tacos from Tacos Sinaloa. They were crunchy and full of flavor. Their agua frescas, especially the pineapple flavor, were very refreshing. Every sip of the agua fresca and every bite of the tacos were very addicting. I always prefer getting tacos from taco trucks, but this place is an exception. The only downside is that the shop is quite small with very limited seating. However, their food is still very enjoyable in the comfort of your own home. read more

Bumping down to three stars. Came back recently, and got the same shrimp burrito again. The shrimp was dry, and the burrito itself lacked its usual spice. While a decent spot when craving Mexican food, the taste can be inconsistent. read more

I ordered a super burrito from this place on Doordash since there was a deal going on and I was pleasantly surprised with this giant burrito! We ordered a carna asada burrito and they didnt skimp out on the filling at all, there was a good chunk of meat in each bite and is definitely made to share. I split this burrito with someone and it lasted me two meals. It also came with some delicious pickled vegetables that paired well with the burrito. Overall a good standard burrito that I will definitely be ordering again read more

Tacos Sinaloa - Burrito pescado - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

Last time I visited Tacos Sinaloa was in 2025. I ordered a carne asada burrito, and was left somewhat dissatisfied. I'd thought the place had lost its touch, but maybe it was just an off day. Today in May of 2026 I've managed to visit while it's a slow day, and I was pleasantly satisfied with my food. I ordered a Carnitas burrito, and it was just as delicious as I'd remembered it one decade ago. While I was eating the first half of my burrito I was thinking "this is good, but burritos are good.. is it better than other burritos I've had, and why?" Something is different about burritos at Tacos Sinaloa, the food reflects that of some regional tacos trucks scattered throughout the East bay, but they're very distinct in how well they're capable of doing this style of Mexican food. As I said earlier- burritos are good. I think they are good because everything tastes good together, but not all burritos are created equal. The first thing that stood out to me about my burrito was the tortilla. It's not your standard tortilla, and it's nothing extravagant, but it seemed intentional. The tortilla is softer, thinner, and it holds up, but it's not chewy. It's there and it soaks up the oils and it doesn't take away from anything. In my experience, a bad tortilla can make a burrito less enjoyable. This tortilla adds in that it's barely there and it's pleasant because it soaks up the flavors without detracting. On the insides, the beans and rice can give or take away depending on where you get your burrito from. At Tacos Sinaloa on this particular day, the beans and rice did not take away from the burrito. The pinto beans were plum and creamy, and tasted like pintos. No nonsense- they added because they didn't subtract, I could go on about grainy beans or starchy over seasoned bean liquid, but NONE OF THAT HERE. The rice had perfect texture. It almost like 'al dente', but not in a chewy way, it had just enough rice texture and didn't get in the way of the other ingredients. It was mildly seasoned with your classic Mexican rice (aromatic tomato broth like flavor). No nonsense, no unnecessary spices, not over saturated in liquid, or turned to mush. Just good simply season rice. Cheese and sour cream- Salty Mexican cheese, presumably Oaxaca or something similar. Adds little salty flavor explosions throughout the burrito. Sour cream, added tangy acidity that cuts through the fatty ness making it taste more lively. Of coarse, the lovely creaminess. If you're not having your burrito with these I'm very sorry for you. The star of the show- The Carnitas here is just done right. It's not over seasoned with anything, it just tastes like melty delicious braised pork shoulder, then fried to accentuate it with crispy mallard bits that surprise you throughout the burrito. Towards the end of my experience I came to the conclusion that what makes a Tacos Sinaloa burrito good is that its ingredients forward- each ingredient tastes good on its own, and that can't be said for all burritos. It's not a burrito for the sake of being a burrito. All the ingredients seem intentionally chosen so that none get in the way of one another. I want to say they make the meat the star of the show, but even if you were to have a bean and rice and cheese + sour crème burrito here it would be an exceptional burrito, which is a testament to their culinary philosophy. Last but not least- yes they have salsa, and of coarse it's good, and I love that they give lemon slices with your food - it's another small intentional detail that they offer lemon instead of lime. Carnitas burrito 5/5. Sinaloa overall 4/5 because of inconsistency. read more

In April 2016, one of my peers and I signed up for a self-dense class conducted in-person by Channing Way. We met at the building for the morning session, then decided to find a nearby place to eat on our lunch break before returning. As the course required physical exertion, we figured we needed something relatively light that was also filling and would not take too long to get. We settled on food from Tacos Sinaloa, arriving a little off of peak lunch time rush. Placing our orders was straightforward and we were able to find a few spots to eat at a counter. The tacos were available for purchase per taco. I went with three total spanning three meat options and semi-heaped on the pickled carrots. It was a satisfying amount of food for me. Flavors were moderate in intensity and not spicy. Workers were tuned in and the wait time was relatively short. read more

I've been sleeping on this place because I didn't like their Al pastor burrito I got years ago because it was all onion and not enough meat. I think I just don't like this particular al pastor. However, when it's done right, I really love their carne asada and crispy pork tacos. It's the right amount of fat and smokiness and a bit oily but nothing too bad. Ask for green salsa and avoid the red. The red salsa is weirdly thick like they put cornstarch. Chips are a little stale. My only complaint about this place is that it's inconsistent. Don't order at 10PM because your meat will be so dry. But it's like, don't open at 10PM if you know your food will be bad... read more

Tacos Sinaloa - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

Located on a busy street, this small shop serves delicious burritos! My partner got the super burrito and priced at $25, it was the size of two burritos so the price is well worth it. For myself, I got the shrimp burrito, add pastor & avocado, and it was so good. I forgot to ask for salsa, so I'm excited to go back and try it with their salsa which is crucial! The shop is small, but they have seats available indoors. read more

Meat is good but the tacos didn't really hit for me. Not much on the taco as far as toppings go. Idk if it needed more flavor or what, but something was missing. It's located on the most busiest street so parking can be challenging. There are only high chair seats inside along the wall. A real casual place and perfect for a quick bite. read more

Tacos Sinaloa - Shrimp and pastor taco - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

$20 for a super burrito, add $2 for specialty meat. My carne asada super burrito was $22. I asked why the carne asada was considered specialty meat. "It's the most popular meat." Yet my carne asada and shrimp tacos were $4 each, even though it should've been $4.50 each according to their logic. And if you order takeout, they charge a 25 cent "delivery fee". In the end, I thought the super burrito was too salty and the tacos were too bland. But most of all, I was annoyed at the logic behind the pricing. read more

Affordable Mexican food for its big portions. Food: we got the super burrito which (shown in the photos) is bigger than our arms! It be impossible to eat this alone, so sharing it with a friend or seconds is my favorite. Service: Workers were kind, and answered our questions and requests! Ambiance: a few seating inside, but largely a take out place. read more

I wish they had a location in San Francisco because these tacos are truly exceptional. I find myself daydreaming about them! My absolute favorite and go to is the Al Pastor taco - the flavors are just a party in your mouth. The meat is always perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tender, with a little kick that melts in your mouth. I usually order online for pickup since parking in the area is pretty limited, but it's completely worth it for these tacos. The experience, from the first bite to the last, is just that good. The service is decent since there's not much human interaction, it's a simple process of pickup and go. read more

Some of the bestest crispiest carnitas in the universe... served with all the trimmings.

$25 for a burrito and drink but I can't get free chips!?? Its located right in the middle of a college campus, so the price point should be more affordable. It's very quaint space with a few stools lined up against the wall. Service was fast and I was able to get it within 10 mins The food is good not the best, there's better chile relleno burritos 15 mins down in Oakland. My cons: location, no parking , price for quantity doesn't match. That's why the 3 stars. Pros: carnitas & horchata were crispy and pretty good. read more

Tacos Sinaloa - The super burrito chorizo delicious - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

Tried their burrito bowl, tacos, and burrito and it is hands down my favorite Mexican comfort food spot in Berkeley. Unfortunately, the past Snackpass discounts do not exist, but there is a buy 4 get 1 taco free deal every Tuesday. The burrito bowl had a great texture, but the salsa was overwhelming compared to all the other flavors. However, the meat with the veggies packed a powerful flavor punch which was tasty and refreshing. The staff here are so sweet and all smiles every time. The wait is usually 10-15 minutes after Snackpassing unless its Tuesday or early evening. I love their tacos so much and I still recommend melting your own cheese on top to save. read more

Was brought here on a date, honestly didn't know I was being brought to another Sinaloa location, I thought I was trying new foods lol I frequent the truck down the street from my house. Obviously, Sinaloa doesn't let you down. Lady kinda gave me a funny look because I order my food like a 4 year old. No onions, no cilantro. But whatever. I like my food how I like my food. The strawberry horchata was delicious. I would definitely get this again. Inside there was plenty of seating, they said the closed at 11pm, we were there probably 9:15 or so. Was fairly quiet, I was able to have a good convo and not yell. But if you're looking for an intimate setting this isn't it. I will return to Sinaloa, if not this location, another. read more

Bummed I didn't get any photos of the food, but it was so good there weren't any leftovers to take a picture of. I've catered from Tacos Sinaloa twice in the past year and they have not disappointed! I went with their build-your-own taco bar so people could put the fillings they liked for dinner. I had options for vegetarian, pastor (spicy pork), and asada (steak). They included all the fixings from spicy pickled jalapeños, pickled carrots, radishes, cilantro/onion, lemons, and more! I also ordered a large helping of chips/salsa/guacamole which was more than we needed. Got a few of their agua frescas which were a big hit (horchata & jamaica). They were also so helpful to get the food into my car for pick up and accommodating when I placed the order a few days in advance. I often went here in college for my burrito fix and quest to try all the meats. It's a small shop that can get busy around lunch & dinner, but certainly a favorite in the area. They have a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and my seal of approval! read more

We placed an order for pick up - 4 burritos, a $75+ order - and ended up getting only 1 long burrito. By the time we got home and realized, we called and the person working said they would give us a refund. They said the manager would call us back but they never did, even after calling back 3 times. I also emailed, but didn't hear back and haven't received the refund. We were excited to try this place but are really disappointed with the customer service. read more

This place has some of the best Al pastor I have ever had. It packs so much flavor, it hits you twice. The initial bite, and then the following flavor is outstanding. The agua de pina (pineapple agua fresca) is amazing. It's sweet, it's smooth, it's refreshing, it leaves you wanting more. I will say that because it's super sweet, I always add extra ice cubes or cold water to prolong the drink and also dilute it. Regardless of diluting it or not, this drink has me hooked and I may like it more than horchata just because of the refreshing factor. The salsas and sauces that come with the food are excellent and can be enjoyed with the chips or on the burrito or taco. The side condiments like the radish, carrots, onions, and lemons are a must. Everything mentioned above can be ordered as an ABC combo and for $17 not including tax, it is well worth it. Such an amazing deal: drink, burrito, chips and salsa, sign me up, multiple times!! It's a pretty small place and you can order at the register or on SnackPass to avoid the wait, but it is ready in like 10-15 minutes. It's super quick. There's some seating available, but it's more like a grab n go at this location. Ambiance is nice. Overall, this has turned into a regular rotation for me and I have already been multiple times. I would like to try other meats and drinks, but what I've been getting is absolutely hitting the spot. read more
