"Berkeley has a strange dearth of Mexican restaurants when compared to the rest of the bay area. That's what makes El Talpense invaluable. They've got it all, and it's all good food. Street tacos . Super burritos . Free chips and salsa . Quesabirria tacos . Happy hour drink deals . Enchiladas, tamales, rellenos, etc. A great spot near campus. Also low-key a great spot to go and watch sports on their TVs."

Great! We've loved this place for years. Formerly Celia's, two brothers purchased the location when they were able. The cuisine and decor are the same, minus Celia's portrait. Great folks!

This place is the best! I go here all the time, it is my go to Mexican spot. It is great comfort food, and all of their salsas are truly exceptional. My favorite is the enchilada with red sauce. Wonderful vegan and gluten free options as well!

We love El Talpense, formerly Celia's. Staff is hardworking and friendly. Food is delicious! Our faves include Chile Relleno, anything with chile verde, pollo asada, or carnitas. Great house margaritas and generous portions. Pricing seems quite faur. Good variety salsas and nice fresh chips. To-go option works well for us, but we enjoy eating there with friends as well.
