I really like Tacos Sinaloa. Food: * Tacos are really good, and they're made quickly. It takes about 15 minutes at most. * Not super cheap but far from expensive, about $2.50 a taco. Three to four tacos is probably enough for a meal. * I typically get the steak tacos and the pastor. I think the pastor tacos are a little bit more flavorful. They're both really good - probably some of the best tacos you can get in the area. Environment: * At this price point, you can't ask for much, but they do a good job of keeping the tables clean. * You can typically find seating here. * This is clearly an excellent location All in all, Tacos Sinaloa is a great option if you're looking for really good tacos - not necessarily a great place to sit down and eat. It's perfect for students. If I were to improve something here: I think it'd be great if they could provide some sort of chips and salsa. I also don't really like some of the sides that come with tacos, and would prefer a variety of different salsas instead. read more

- short wait! - ordered through Snackpass - tacos: ordered the carne asada taco, fish taco, and the chicken taco. All the tacos were filled very well. The carne asada and chicken tasted very good, the fish taco was a little dry and you couldn't really taste the fish. - burrito bowl: ordered the vegetarian burrito bowl and it was really delicious! The red salsa wasn't spicy but still good. Would definitely come back for a quick meal read more

Burrito is huge! Tacos looked pretty good next to me too, get some. Interactive seating indoors, friendly staff.

This review is for Tacos Sinaloa's catering service. We had the pleasure of having Tacos Sinaloa cater our company picnic. Their catering minimum is for 100 people ($1500). If you have less than 100 people, catering comes with rice/beans, chips with guac/salsa, and Aguas frescas. You have the option of choosing 5 meat options for tacos. When they arrive at your event, they'll give you menu cards for your guests to fill out. Their service is fast and the food is delicious! They also arrived on time and allowed us to take tacos to go. Overall it was a very seamless catering experience and I'd recommend them. Thank you Tacos Sinaloa! read more

I have never had a bad meal or service at this delicious local staple. We always get a ton of tacos so that we have extra for the next day for carnitas tostadas in our air fryer + a runny egg on top. I'm gf and I know that I'm always good with the tacos here. I'm sure the burritos are delicious, too. Musts: mixta tostada, carnitas tacos, chorizo tacos, suadero tacos, shrimp tacos, lengua tacos. I always order with extra cilantro and extra salsa and add my spicy carrots on top with extra lime. TIP YOUR COUNTER PERSON! They've worked their butts off during the pandemic to keep everyone fed and have been doing so with half of the crew bc of social distancing protocols. read more

This place makes the best asado tacos period. It is absolutely made to perfection. No other place in SF, East Bay, or South Bay compares! Would drive an hour just to get those tacos read more

One of my favorite places in Berkeley to grab food. This spot is always fast, delicious and reasonably priced! The service is great and they're always super patient. The seating is limited, however I usually see people order to go. I always grab an al pastor burrito to go. Their servings are huge and I can split that into 2 meals. The meat is nicely seasoned and isn't dry. The meat is always juicy, which makes the burrito even better. They aren't cheap with their fillings, so it ends up being a hefty burrito. They also ask if you want any carrots/limes/sides too! Whenever I crave horchata, I also make sure to grab one here. It's a large cup for a good price. The cinnamon flavor is strong and the drink has the perfect sweetness! read more

When Tacos Sinaloa says "super" they don't mean extra guac or sour cream. This is a 14" behemoth burrito that I easily split over two days (if I don't have the appetite for it in a single sitting). Most importantly this Michelin Guide recommended spot, frys their carnitas, which makes this quite the crispy, tasty delight! While the Berkeley spot closes at 7 sometimes, the Oakland location off of International is thankfully open until 1AM. In terms of other meats on the menu you're interested in the carnitas of beef, try the Suadero or "Rose Meat" from them! I wasn't sure what to expect from this specialty meat, but the spices and taste were definitely delicious and not nearly out there as you might expect! For those curious, Rose Meat is frequently used for ground beef. Overall 5/5 burritos and 5/5 beers for the drunchies on the hunt for a delicious late night burrito! Definitely a diamond in the rough or the unicorn I've found in the Bay! read more

You absolutely can't go wrong with all day breakfast (egg and chorizo) burritos! Carnitas burrito was also good and stuffed with tons of tender pork. Loved their salsa on the side! read more

Taco Sinaloa has been my favorite Mexican food spots since they first opened a few years back. Food: My ultimate favorite thing on the menu would be the carnitas tacos. The carnitas have a very satisfying crunch and just the perfect amount of juice that compliments every bite. I'm usually not a fan of onions or salsa but what they serve is so flavorful! It's slightly spicy and pairs well with Tapatio. Their fish tacos are crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. If you aren't a fan of red meat then this is a definite must-try! I've also had their carne asada which falls on the more traditional scale of tacos, but still good for the Berkeley area! If you're in the mood for a burrito, then their carne asada one is my go-to. It's creamy, warm, and the tortilla isn't dry at all. Price & Portions: Very affordable! Everything on the menu is around and below $10. For just $2.00, you can experience an authentic, fresh, and delicious taco. They're extremely generous with the amount of meat served on each taco, and the tortillas are warmed up to perfection! Service & Ambiance: The service here is also amazing, the cashier is always super friendly. You can see your food being prepared which is always a plus, and the flavor is simply unbeatable! read more

This is a place where you can get legit street tacos. My brother and I had their beef and chicken tacos, $2.00 each. My mom had their beef tongue tostada and my other brother ordered one of their huge shrimp burritos with everything in it. This place is small, like the many other eateries in Berkeley, and it could also get pretty crowded so make sure you grab a seat when it's available! No sour cream or extras in the tacos which is perfectly fine because the flavor is amazing! I love the sauce they put on top; no need for extra spicy sauce. My brother's shrimp burrito was sooo good. The shrimp inside were big! Not the cheap small kind. You need to get that when you're starving because it's very filling. My mom was happy with her tostada because it was piled high with meat. Everything was served on paper plates so the plates kind of got soggy towards the end. Overall: Come around early lunch time, like 11:30 or so because at exactly 12 is when a line forms and when people start to steal your seats! Deeelicious tacos. read more

Oh. My. God. This is now the best thing in the Telegraph area followed by Top Dog and then really nothing else. The famed Taqueria Sinaloa Fruitvale trucks are where I take friends from out of town when they come visit me in the East Bay and now I can walk there five minutes from my apartment. This is likely the most dangerous thing for my health to possibly happen. Also it's just as good as the truck. Carnitas to die for. Pastor is ok but get the carnitas. The suadero is bomb too. Also get tacos here, not burritos. The burritos are ok, but the tacos are as good as anywhere in LA. The prices are slightly higher than the trucks (but only by like 25 cents). I wasn't actually sure what day they opened and as i walked by with my bike i freaked out, ran to lock it, and ran to the line, cutting two guys getting there contemporaneously. They didn't want it enough. Fortune favors the brave. read more

I'd had tacos on the mind for weeks. I craved the instant gratification that came with a precisely piquant al pastor. I craved the juicy drizzle that's central to a properly saturated carnitas. I even craved the fiery sizzle of freshly seasoned meat searing atop an open flame. Tacos Sinaloa satisfied each on of these cravings. And more... The service was impeccable. Both the cashier and line cooks were more than friendly, and our tacos came in record time. The tacos themselves were unbelievably rich and flavorful. The al pastor tacos gave me shivers...in a good way. If you have any desire to treat your taste buds and give them an unforgettable experience, head to Tacos Sinaloa. read more

Unbelievable. I ordered a carne asada burrito and Jamaica agua fresca and it was the BOMB. Normally I'd state a few qualms but I honestly don't think there's anything to say. The meat was seasoned perfectly with absolutely no skimping whilst maintaining a great rice/bean/other ratio. It was a little oily but nothing out of the norm. The Jamaica agua Fresca was perfectly balanced as well with just the right amount of tartness and sweetness. Salsa were great and super fresh as well! They were also very generous with the escabeche. Oh... and you definitely get a lot of food for your money (at least burrito-wise). I used to eat in excess of 3K calories a day to bulk and I'd be fine stopping after eating 60% of the way through. read more

Not a bad spot for cheap tacos when the craving strikes you. Walking around Berkeley wanted something cheap and simple and this place hit the spot. Their street taco options are cheap starting at $2 and for that price they were pretty good. On my visit got the asada/steak, carnitas/pork, and camaron/shrimp tacos. The shrimp was meh, kinda on the small side nothing too interesting. The asada was a little better then the shrimp, not too dry with a good balance of flavor with the salsa. My favorite though was the carnitas, the pork is shredded and fried/crisped up just right that its got a hint of crunch but remains juicy. I liked that they use corn tortillas and have a toppings bar you can get radishes, limes, carrots, etc. They offer other menu items and perhaps the next time i'll give them a try. all in all not a bad spot for cheap eats in berkeley. read more

Not a bad option for street tacos at all. With a wide selection of meats, 2-3 bucks a pop is really good for that Mexican flavor. I'm a big fan of tripe tacos, so I was super excited to see Tripitas on the menu. Even better, I got to watch the main man at the grill cook it fresh using a metal press on the flattop - so I knew it was be super tender on the taco. They oiled up some corn tortillas from a bag, doubled them up and loaded the plate at the ready. Besides that I've had the chorizo, pastor and asada. I think the chorizo was also fresh from the flattop, but the latter two were scooped at the counter. Totally fine, because the steam table kept it super hot! What I loved and didn't about the taco was the same for all. The meat itself is super kickass and flavorful. The downsides is that I found the tacos extremely oily compared to other similar places, and personally I'm not a fan of the thicker corn tortillas. #TeamFlour. Kind of sad since Tacos are in the name, I expect them to be a solid flagship. A little disappointed, but maybe there's hope in the other dishes, since I saw them use flour tortillas for burritos. Plus I'm super curious about their other fancier takings on dishes like ceviche! read more

Tacos Sinaloa - Tripitas, pastor, and chorizo tacos. These babies are loaded! - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

Tacos Sinaloa has been a welcome addition on Telegraph. Tasty, affordable, authentic taco truck food? CHECK. Quick service? CHECK. My absolute favorite pickled carrots and jalapeños on the side? CHECK. (Just make sure you ask for it, they don't put it on display for obvious reasons, because, you know, Telegraph........) The tacos have undoubtedly gotten the most praise here, but my absolute favorite item on the menu is the SUPER BURRITO. My friends and I affectionately call them "arm burritos" because they're literally longer than the length of the average college student's forearm. What this translates to is 3+ tasty meals for ~$13. I've tried the pastor and asada and both were delicious! My only complaint is that it tends to get crowded in here pretty quickly - I've definitely gotten whacked by backpack or two a couple of times. Still, I'd come back to Tacos Sinaloa to fulfill my taco/burrito craving over La Burrita, Pancho's or Gordo's ANYDAY. read more

After coming here many times for good tacos and quick service, a recent visit finally made me feel worse leaving. The long line on a Tuesday was expected, but the very awkward and non-understanding service made the visit with friends very bad. If you don't know, on Tuesdays, it's buy 4 tacos, get one free. A friend of mine got 7 tacos (what a champ) and after looking at his receipt, paid for every single one. He talked to the cashier who then talked very confusing with him and "got him 1 more taco" to make it a total of 10 (8 paid tacos + 2 free tacos if you follow the deal). After looking at the receipt once more, the cashier straight up just charged 3 more tacos, making him pay for each individual taco ($20+ for 10 tacos). Facing his realization that the cashier is not understanding anything at all, we went to go pick up our orders. When we asked for a bit more of toppings since we were taking it to go, the lady looked at the three full tubs of toppings and then back at us as if we were telling her to empty it all onto our to-go bags. In the end, she didn't understand a thing we wanted. We said, "more jalapenos/peppers", but she threw in a bag of all carrots. Haha... nice. read more

Finally, good Mexican food in Berkeley. At first I was skeptical due to the cheesy shrimp mascot but I came for a late lunch and I was blown away by the juicy tacos and the refreshing agua fresca pineapple flavoured. I bought two carne Asada tacos, one pastor or spicy pork taco, and one shrimp taco. So good. The shrimps were plump, buttery, and juicy and they certainly didn't skimp on the taco fillings in any of the tacos. The pastor tacos were juicy from the marinade and it was sloppy and very spicy-- not as good as establos down in Camarillo, but still quite good. My least favourite was the carne asada taco since it was a little dry, but it was seasoned well. They were generous in giving jalapeños and radishes and limes as extras which are great to top your dinner off. Also, there is a drink called agua fresca, a type of juice made from puréed fruit and water. I had pineapple and it was sweet and refreshing. Customer service was on point-- helpful and nice. I would definitely be coming back here for cheap and fulfilling Mexican food with great quality. read more

Heard that this opened up in Berkeley, and was super impressed that the quality of tacos are as good as the trucks! If you're looking for a delicious meal and are also on a budget (#collegelyfe) this is the place to go! Whenever I buy tacos from a taco truck, my biggest problem is not having a place to sit down comfortably and eat it. And usually by the time I get home with my tacos, they're not as warm anymore. Tacos Sinaloa in Berkeley solves this problem for me, without having a price spike for being in an actual location. Tacos are just as cheap as the trucks itself, 2-2.50 each (cheaper than a few that I've been to), and the quality is just as fantastic. I came here for a quick snack so I only ordered two tripe tacos. For those who don't know what that is, it's a taco filled with intestines, which I swear taste much better than it sounds. It's actually my 2nd fav type of taco (next to tacos chicharrones). They made the tripe super crispy and with a smoky flavor, which is exactly the way I like it. They also do not skimp on the meat here. I highly recommend the tripe taco to anyone who is feeling a bit risky and want to try something new. I promise you that it'll quickly become one of your favs as well. And just so you know, the tacos do come with some pickled veggies! Definitely will be coming back again very soon! read more

Solid Mexican in Telegraph area! I usually get carnitas or asada tacos and there's plenty of meat. I'm also a sucker for their super quesadilla, it's cheesy and huge. I wish there was more salsa selection, but I get things may be more limited at the moment. Asking for salsa gets you a mini side container. The fish taco is diced seasoned fish rather than a fried piece, and it was flavorful. This one got very soggy very quickly so make sure to wolf em down! I haven't been disappointed by anything I've tried here. Prices are a little higher than listed to offset COVID slowdowns, but still totally affordable. Side note: the cashier had her mask pulled down to take orders and to package the food orders, which was a little uncomfortable read more

Always super bomb. I love the chile relleno burrito, but so does everyone else so it's normally sold out. Either way though it's fine - everything here is fire. They have a few trucks too in Oakland and Berkeley that are always on point too. read more

This is a great place! I've already been here twice. Once by myself and once with a friend because I had to share the delicious food. Because this is a small joint that is a quick counter order, I'll keep things short. There isn't much to say about the venue besides it's small and has limited seating, so be prepared if you want to eat there. The staff seem friendly. But let's talk about the good! The food is affordable and delicious. I enjoyed the tacos way more than my burrito. I have had the carne asada, pastor, and carnitas. So I can't wait to go back and try the others! read more

Good tacos! They give you two tortillas per each taco which imo is too much tortilla but to each their own. The peppers are hella spicy so I got the hiccups BUT it was still enjoyable. They make them real fast and call your number so don't throw away your receipt like I did. I actually wanted 2 tacos but there was a misunderstanding so I ended up with 3 lol. Be extra clear about things if you are particular about your food: Me: "2 carne asada tacos please" Cashier: "3?" Me: "No, 2" Cashier: *inputs 3 carne asada tacos into register* read more

Tacos Sinaloa - Carne asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Berkeley, California

In my years at Berkeley so far I've thoroughly enjoyed grabbing lunches and dinners at Tacos Sinaloa. Even when there's a line that extends beyond the inside of the store, I've personally found the wait worth it over other similar options along Telegraph Avenue. I generally try to avoid eating pork but Tacos Sinaloa's carnitas tacos are a personal MUST. It makes me feel a little guilty after (as I stick to fish + poultry as much as I am able to) but the carnitas tacos really are SO tasty. Personally, I wouldn't recommend the chicken tacos as they lack flavor relative to the carnitas, and I can't speak to the beef options as I avoid red meat as well, though my friends have mentioned being a fan of their steak tacos. The tacos here are very reasonably priced at $2/taco, and they offer garnishes for the tacos upon picking them up from the side counter. My friend recently suggested I try the pickled carrots and I wasn't disappointed! I'm a huge guacamole fan so I've always asked for guac on top of my tacos but the past four visits, an employee has informed me AFTER I paid that they do not have guac prepared and that they can instead put avocado slices on my tacos. I've always settled with this because it still adds the right level of freshness I desire but this can also be rather frustrating. Nonetheless, I'm still a big fan. Now that I'm a little older I try to avoid eating out excessively but I continue to visit Tacos Sinaloa roughly once a month if my schedule allows. read more

If you spend your own money on La Burrita over Taco Sinaloa plz delete ur yelp account. Ok, just kidding, but seriously. I got 4 tacos ($2 each): - carnitas, SOOO good. Crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle. - lengua, it was my first time having it and it was amazing! I'd definitely recommend it if you can get past the whole "tongue" thing. (It hardly felt weird at all) - carne asada - al pastor Only thing weird about Sinaloa is that on Taco Tuesday they have a special on burritos? $2 off your order but where's my deal on tacos? Also don't forget to ask for a side of veggies with your to-go order, they don't give you a pack unless you ask. This is definitely going to be my place for Mexican food in the Mexican food wasteland that is Berkeley's campus area, and would probably be my go-to back home as well. read more

Based on the reviews I decided to give this place a try. I don't get the hype about it. I've had MUCH better tacos elsewhere. Little meat, greasy and hardly any pico.

Still my favorite taco & burrito spot in Berkeley! Updating my reviews based on my last three visits in October. 1. You can't combine offers with Taco Tuesday deals. Honestly quite a bummer that I couldn't use my birthday promo (-$2) with the Taco Tuesday deals. (Haha #collegestudent) 2. The free three tacos after 10 qualifying visits is only up to $6 value, so be ready to pay for the difference 2. You can ask them to cut the burritos in half! I usually finish the burritos on my own/in one sitting, but I've found cutting them into halves makes sharing/saving some for later much easier. While that is a given, the workers here tend to cut the foil (wrapping the burrito) in half then wraps it again with another foil to keep the burrito warm. Don't make the same mistake as I did wondering why it wasnt cut without tearing apart the first layer...hah read more

Great tacos!!! Very spicy and a little but still a great taco for its values! Would love to go back again one day, 70

Best tacos in Berkeley, hands down!!! Sinaloa's tacos are authentic and well-made. Their meat is perfectly seasoned and often spicy, and pairs great with the typical onion and cilantros in their tacos. Tacos look small, about the size of my palm, but don't let that fool you - Sinaloa piles on the meat and I'm usually full after two tacos. Prices are reasonable: $2-$2.50 for a taco, which is a welcome change from a lot of the Bay Area's pseudo-authentic $4-$5 tacos. Sinaloa also has burritos, priced around $7-$8, as well as lots of veggie options. Sinaloa has limited seating, probably about 15 stools in total. There are always long lines around lunch and dinner time, but they move quickly. I'd recommend calling 15 min ahead and placing an order in case you're on a time crunch. Otherwise, I've never waited longer at Sinaloa past 10 min, even when the line was out the door. The employees are great! The cashiers are nice and more than happy to answer any questions you may have. When they call out your order, they ask you if you want any sliced radishes, jalapenos, lemon/lime, and carrots. On this particular visit, I ended up getting a strawberry lemon paleta, which seems to be a new offering. Paletas are $2.50 each, and they come in flavors like oreo, strawberries and cream, and cucumber. The paleta I got was pretty tasty, and I'm glad I tried it, but I wouldn't order again! With a $0.50 card charge and tax, my small paleta ended up being $3.28, which seemed kind of ridiculous after realizing I could have gotten a taco for cheaper. read more
