Go support your local joint! Very generous staff, fast service, delicious, fun decor, salsa and hot sauce bar, & awesome (late!) hours. Horchata + super burrito is my go-to, but options are plentiful.

Christine Coolieo

The food isn't great, but it's open late and definitely hits the spot sometimes. Their beans are vegan friendly and they are happy to modify for vegans and vegetarians.

Angelica W

Friendly staff and great California burritos. Has a tofu option for vegans

Yejin Yoo

Cute decor inside for legit street style tacos. Spot the donkey outside!

Nino E

California burritos and Carne asada Fries, best in Berkeley.

Salty but delicious. I'll give any place with a salsa bar a pass.

Tal Safran

Surprisingly fresh, clean, and delicious for $5.

Jennifer Ames

3 TVs on different sports channels. Good place to watch a mid-week game.

Rick Betita

For ballers on a budget, the $5 regular burrito is a steal

Loraine Laurente

Open until midnight 7 days a week!!'

Christopher Mondoux

Grab any hot sauce off the wall and put it on your food.

Chris F

Open late on weeknights, hooray

Adrian Barker

Careful. The salsa bar is not chilled. Warm salsa. Pretty sure that’s a health code violation. I better not get sick from this.

Ally M

The quesadilla is a little underwhelming.

Rich Yannacone

I wasn't a big fan. Kinda bland
