It's popular with college students, especially being located near UC Berkeley. I appreciate the cozy indoor fireplace and ample outdoor seating options.

The "birria tacos" with consomé tasted like boiled potato water, so I would not recommend them. The asada tacos were average, a bit dry. However, the atmosphere and drinks were more important to me. I didn't enjoy my margarita, but my friend's pink paloma was good. I would recommend trying it for a typical Berkeley undergraduate experience with sentimental value.

There’s usually plenty of space for larger groups, and they have a very expansive beer menu.The “share” foods are really good — my friends and I have tried the fries, onion rings, buffalo cauliflower, loaded nachos, and chips and guac; all of those were tasty with large portions.The burger was decent but forgettable, which is alright—I don’t think I would go to Raleigh’s for the food, but I would definitely go for a drink.It’s the perfect spot for a happy hour, and the staff is very friendly (I once accidentally left my bag there, and they had tucked it away with a note for me when I came back to get it the next day). It’s quintessential Berkeley, and always a winner with groups!

Great food proportions. Fresh produce, quick service. One of my favorite places. read more Great food proportions. Fresh produce, quick service. One of my favorite places.
