  Very overpriced "bland Berkeley chicken breast Mexican restaurant". They are still in lockdown mode because they are obviously making more money than they were before with their normal dining room. Now you can sit outside in the cold and get served slightly warm food for extremely high prices. Trust me you are way better off with a taco truck. The employees are very nice but probably overworked and underpaid.

  While the restaurant is being updated, they have a system of kiosk ordering and delivery to a tent setup in a parking lot. Skeptical at first, but it worked out great. Food was terrific. Everything was clean and comfortable.

  Heard from many people that it is very good and this place is popular between locals however, unfortunately the food I received was not the best quality and the service either most probably because they were renewing their restaurant.

  I wanted to like the place even more because I enjoyed both the recommendations of friends who had eaten there for years and I also especially appreciated the forthright responses that the owner provided to various reviews that he had received, especially the negative or poor reviews showed a classy, respectful, and open to learning and improving attitude that usually indicates a good business. So, first let me say that the food was all good, we had fish tacos, quesadillas, Carnitas, and of course guacamole and chips. What was less than appealing was having to eat in a makeshift sheltered outdoor space sitting essentially on a parking lot with plastic tenting all around and above us. Several of the heaters weren't working so we shivered a bit but got through it. Experience also included using a large amount of plastic and cardboard, much of which I doubt gets recycled since it couldn't be cleaned easily. Basically it felt like eating from a food truck but these were certainly not food truck prices. I appreciate that there are many additional costs to having set up outside while they remodel and I empathize with their desire to remain open, continue serving their clientele, and yet the service was surly and not particularly helpful. You place your own order and then you go wait for it to be delivered to you. There is no other service. Yet they still give you an opportunity to pay a service charge upfront when you order your food. Of course I did since I am a custom to tipping servers but I did not at that time know that there would be no servers other than the person giving me my bags of food. I think it might be worth warning people in advance so they know what they're getting into when they are expecting a restaurant experience.

  This is not Mexican food. I don't know what this is. Edit: I ordered the camarones la diabla I believe is what I ordered. I received over cooked shrimp and overcooked unseasoned unsalted and flavorless white rice. On the side was some sort of squash type relish or Salad I could not tell. Not to mention for this terrible food one beer and one can of soda the total came out to $33
