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.
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.
Friendly staff and great California burritos. Has a tofu option for vegans
Cute decor inside for legit street style tacos. Spot the donkey outside!
California burritos and Carne asada Fries, best in Berkeley.
Salty but delicious. I'll give any place with a salsa bar a pass.
Surprisingly fresh, clean, and delicious for $5.
3 TVs on different sports channels. Good place to watch a mid-week game.
For ballers on a budget, the $5 regular burrito is a steal
Open until midnight 7 days a week!!'
Grab any hot sauce off the wall and put it on your food.
Open late on weeknights, hooray
Careful. The salsa bar is not chilled. Warm salsa. Pretty sure that’s a health code violation. I better not get sick from this.
The quesadilla is a little underwhelming.
I wasn't a big fan. Kinda bland
Wonderful homemade chips, and huge, delicious and satisfying torta al pastor. Skip the too-sweet margarita. - I M
Sofritas are now here!! Vegan tofu braised with chilis, roasted poblanos and spices. Yuuuum - Asia Kwan
Best chile rellenos in South Berkeley/North Oakland. They tend to run out right before closing, so come early! - Michael Fox
Best frozen food of any grocery store ever. Also great wine and beer selection - Nicholas Hart
