I ate here for my birthday I was so disappointed the food was awful Even my granddaughters didn't like it will never come back portions Was small the waiters was not friendly. I could have eaten at Taco Bell and would have been happy. I here Picante is worth your money will be going there next time.
OK food, terrible service... Try Picante – The food is better than most local Mexican food, but it is over-priced for the amount you get and the service is so bad that it actually rates "it sucks" in that category... slow and surly. By far and away, Picante, on 6th Street near Gilman, has better food, better portions, and service that is both fast and courteous.
Waste of money and stomach space – I was really disappointed, and will definitely NEVER be going back or recommending this place to anyone. My reasons? Looking at the menu (which was hard to read because of poor lighting...and no "in hand" menus to speak of...) there was some variety, but not the traditional variety you see in Mexican restaurants. I couldn't even see where to order a side of tortillas. For the prices, I expected a large, filling taco or enchilada, right? Or at least it coming with a side of rice, but no, all... read more
Unique menu, but.... – I liked the idea; cafeteria style, unique offerings in a nicely decorated place. The food was fairly good, I'll grant that, but the prices are quite high. Two of us ordered al pastor tortas, which were tasty enough, but lacked any garnish, either on the torta or on the plate. Come on folks, throw some lettuce on there! or tomato! Anything! And I have had better al pastor at the (TOU forbids me to use the word that they are called) street coaches, even though Tacubaya's was okay. Another guest ordered a... read more
de-lish – It love this place for a quick and tasy lunch or dinner. The servers are friendly and casual but I wouldn't call it "service." Think cafeteria-style, pour-your-own-water, etc. The reason to go is the food. They have delicious a la cart fish tacos, sopes, tortas and tamales. (No burritos here but you won't miss them!) And the corn on the cob is addictive. As are the churros. Y-U-M.
Taco Time...& Sopes too!!! – YUM!!! How long did it take to get some great mexican food on 4th St.? There are so many wonderful things to eat on this menu. The tacos are all excellent...especially the fish tacos, fried, with aioli...mmmm! The sope with potatoes and chorizo is a worthy addiction. The guacamole rocks, the churros are too good, the chilaquiles are unusual and totally tasty...I could go on. The owners of Dona Tomas have created another cool, yummy and definitely worthwhile eating experience...please tell me you'... read more
Just what the area needs – Okay ...so the RITZ CARLTON or CHEZ PANISSE it is not. Quality-value ingredients and reasonable prices: FOURTH STREET and the rest of Berkeley needs more places like TACUBAYA
Huh? – I can't imagine why anyone would think this was a good restaurant. The service was poor. The place looked like it had been ransacked. They were out of chips. At lunch time. On a Saturday. The salsa was old and mushy. We had an OK soup but the rest of the food was inedible. Sorry to say, this place is way off the mark, and not cheap!
West Berkeley gets a little hotter, thanks to this swank taqueria. – The Scene This spinoff of upscale Mexican favorite Doña Tomas, tucked way in the back of a Fourth Street shopping complex, is painted with intense monochromatic splashes of red, pink and orange. Families line up to order at the counter, saddle themselves with silverware and beverages, and settle into wood tables under enormous wrought-iron chandeliers. The Food The menu is chock-full of top-quality northern Mexican breakfast and lunch items handled with pan... read more
