MEXICANA — Restaurant in Berkeley

Mexicana is a local take out spot in the Epicurious Garden in Berkeley. The food is always fresh and from scratch. From the tacos, burritos, house made corn tortillas and salsas- everything is delicious!

It is a family run business and the owner Noe is so kind, cheerful and welcoming. He remembers my whole family each time we come which is weekly these days :) His service goes above and beyond and not something you often find for the price.

If you live with dietary requirements, this place is a gem. Everything is listed clearly on the menu-displayed on the tv above the counter for full transparency! Many gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian and dairy -free options. All the food is nut-free.

It is so special to have this place in Berkeley- make this your new regular spot! Support Noe and his lovely family-he puts so much care into his food- you won't regret it and neither will...

I just had the most delicious vegetarian burrito I've had in a long time. I asked the chef to add some raja chilies, which he did happily. That along with the freshly sauteed onions, peppers and mushrooms and a good spoonful of black beans and rice, yum! Their green sauce is fantastic and the chips are perfect. Finding a truly scrumptious burrito for under $10 these days is a miracle, and the Mexican Taqueria is a mouth watering miracle! I'll be spending lots of my lunches there!

I have mixed feelings about Mexicana. On one hand, the value is OK and the atmosphere in being across from Cheeseboard and in Epicurious garden is great.

On the other hand, the food (particularly, the nachos) are pretty mid. The meat was over cooked, though the shrimp was ok, and the cheese was not melted. The salsa was good but the flavors overall were lackluster.

Not really sure how in California a Mexican restaurant can have this high a rating but taste like this. This should be a 4.0...
