Cactus Taqueria


Cheap chic chipotle
5525 College Avenue
Berkeley, CA 94618
United States
+1 510 547 1305
Here the usual suspects such as tacos, burritos, enchiladas and quesadillas are accented by unique touches, including half a dozen different tortillas, homemade salsas and cactus chips, and daily specials. Past specials have included fillings like Chile Colorado, Chicken Adobo, and Flautas with Sweet Potatoes, Carrots and Corn Filling. The Green Mole Chicken is a particular hit, as is the homemade tamales made with pickled onions and Mexican cream and a choice of chicken or vegetables. Order at the counter, then relax and enjoy your burritos at one of the many tables beneath the wooden cactus cutouts.

Cascada


Healthy burritos and wraps
2164 Center Street
Berkeley, CA 94704
United States
+1 510 704 8688
Murals of villas and a marketplace grace the wall of this restaurant. The music is fun, the service great, the food cannot be beat. This eatery makes its ingredients in small batches, ensuring you get the freshest available. Its meat is hand-trimmed, lean and low in sodium. Healthy cooking is key here. Choose from a whole wheat, spinach or tomato tortilla. Wraps and burritos can be had traditionally, or more creatively, like the picante (with chipolte). Choose from chicken, beef, carnitas or chorizo, salmon, snapper and prawns. For breakfast, try Chorizo and Eggs, Huevos Rancheros or the Mexican Omelet.

Jimmy Bean's


Fantastic Food & Affable Ambiance
1290 Sixth Street
Berkeley, CA 94710
United States
+1 510 528 3435
http://www.jimmybeans.com/
The casual atmosphere and excellent food of Jimmy Bean's make it a perfect stop for a bite to eat. Although known for their breakfast, such as the ever popular Silver-Dollar Pancakes, the lunch and dinner menu provides great choices. The food is made with fresh ingredients and has a Mediterranean or Mexican flavor, although the classic hamburger and fresh fries are also on the menu. The restaurant has an open kitchen and you can watch the chief make your meal while you wait. There are also tables outside, so bring your furry friend along. Just remember to order before you sit down at a table.

La Burrita


Put that burrito on your AmEx
2530 Durant Avenue
Berkeley, CA 94704
United States
+1 510 845 4859
If you are short on cash, do not fear. Your craving for fast, filling and tasty taqueria staples can be sated with a charge card. Or if you just want to dine on the cheap, this is the place for you. This is a definite to-go place. There are five tables in very close quarters that afford a nice view of the elbows and lower backs of those in line. Find carne asada, bean, cheesesteak and vegetarian. It also serves tacos and salads like the taco and the chicken fajita salad.
