"Was quite disappointed, our first time in this Chihuahua and our last. I love Mexican cuisine, grew up in SoCal, and my wife and I are constantly looking for great places to eat. We were in the original Chihuahua's in Winnemucca for breakfast and the food, service, etc was all excellent so we were excited to go to the local for dinner. Our problems started to sit. We had a reservation and waited. After I noticed that a few who went in a few minutes after arriving and had no reservations placed on the waiting list and then sitting in front of us, I went to the desk and pointed out that they immediately sat us, and they sat us in a walkway when there were tables in the area that were not on the way. We hoped the food would stop the night. We ordered our dinner, my wife always gets a Chile Relleno and cheese Enchilada dinner, she was not impressed, said they were both Bland. She only ate a few bites of Enchilada before they give up and maybe ate half of the Rellenos. I have a burrito. I didn't think the Burrito had much taste. The menu said the Burrito had Carne Asada, but it was really only ground hamburgers and I couldn't taste a taste in the meat except how to taste hamburgers. Carne Asada will be presumed to be marinated and is usually grilled to supplement taste, then is diceed, or cut strips, not ground. The only real plus points this night were the waiter was really nice and did a great job. And the margaritas were pretty good. Fortunately, we have other options for good MX food in the area."

"I remember this place from back in the day when it had more limited menu selections, but now that it has been reborn as a taqueria, and Mexican restaurant, all I can say is. W.O.W. Though I didn 't plan on it, I hit it on the nose and walked in here on a taco Tuesday and the tacos are $2.50 each, and they don 't skimp at all. All. I decided to try the works and got one of Barbacoa, one of Pollo Asado, one of carne asada, and one of what they call heritage carnitas. Now let me just lay it down here. Heritage carnitas are the kind of carnitas that I like above all others. Soft and moist with bits of fat, absolutely tender to the bite, and full of pork flavor, these are the kind of carnitas you would find in Uruapan, in Michoacan, Mexico, at one of the stands like Los hermanos olivos. The Barbacoa, was incredibly tender, reminding me of perfectly cooked Ropa Vieja , a Sauteed, slow cooked Cuban skirt steak, and the amount of meat they put in every taco as I said before was impressive. I got called away before I could finish the other two tacos, so, rather than review them at home after reheating them I decided to go back down there later this week and I will give you guys another review then. But all I can say right now is, that this place is an absolutely solid taqueria and Mexican restaurant, with a really nice staff and located in the flatlands of Berkeley and Easy to access from just about anywhere. Highly recommended!"
