University Taqueria

LOVE the spicy fried chicken sandwich, and was unsurprised to learn the fried chicken wrap and tenders are also the bomb. I always get a side of onion rings and every sauce they have - don't miss their spicy honey! When they started opening Saturdays, my weekends got better. Go visit so they'll open on Sundays too!

Very good food. Got the enchilada plate and it was amazing. Only complaint is the rice was a little overcooked but still great. Price is about average for the location.

Great portions for the price and the taste is excellent! I haven’t had such amazing Northern Mexican food since 2020 in Arizona and I went to Playa del Carmen. Which the tacos were just as good but I was missing a good burrito and that’s just what I got. The carnitas marinade was excellent, no extra salsa required. They also actually have horchata which is the other thing I’d been missing. This one is thick, sweet, and tastes more of vanilla than cinnamon. But it was delicious.

Refreshingly friendly staff. The food is authentic Northern Mexico cuisine. These folks really know what they are doing. I’ll be back. They’re gonna be wildly successful.

This place is outstanding. I had one of the best vegetarian burritos I can remember in a long long time. It got pretty busy the second time I went but it's worth the wait.

That was one of the best burritos I've ever had and I've had a few. Fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, sauce bar! Customer service was friendly and helpful. It was my first time there and I will definitely go back. Nothing like a delicious tasty burrito!!

One of the best taquerias in the Bay Area! Tacos are packed with flavor and perfectly spiced. Friendly staff, reasonable prices. Though the place is small, seating can be tough when it’s busy

Great local tacos at great prices. Restaurant was clean and service was friendly. Will be back here for lunch often.

I got a burrito bowl and they put SOOO MUCH in there. It was well worth it. Everything is very well seasoned and i love that they give you chips and have a salsa bar on the side. 10/10

My go to spot for a delicious burrito, torta and taco. I recently had them cater an event for 150 people and the flautas, churros, quesadillas, gelatinas, & nachos bar were a fantastic hit with my guests.

The best fried chicken sandwich around. Hands down. There are some good ones in Oakland like HB but honestly this place is better. Not just a little but a good 1.5-2 points better on my scale of 10 9meaning everyone else is below an 8). I ate there 3 times before leaving this review and consistency is key in flavor, texture, lack of oiliness, and most importantly the sandwich travels well. I drove once 15min after getting my food and the bun was not soggy and the chicken breast coating was still crunchy. Great spiciness. Will keep going as there are good ones around but this is the best IMHO.

This Mexican restaurant is one of my favorites. I usually go for the seafood tacos, and this time I tried one fish taco and one shrimp taco. The restaurant is conveniently located in the heart of the University of California, Berkeley. The cashier was very helpful, and the food was ready incredibly fast, which was a nice surprise. Both tacos were delicious, with fresh ingredients and great flavor. However, I was a bit disappointed by the size of the tacos. They were noticeably smaller compared to other fish tacos I’ve had at different places. While the taste was excellent, I was hoping for a bit more substance, especially considering the price. That said, the quick service and the quality of the food make it worth trying, though I would recommend being prepared for smaller portions.

French toast is below average. Their bowl is good but nothing extraordinary.

While the chicken is of high quality and the fries are awesome, I’ve never been so underwhelmed by “spicy” food before. I’m a guy who loves spice, and I was disappointed by how little of it there was. It seems like they just salt and peppered the chicken and put mild sauce on it. This place is called “The Spicy Chicken” after all. Maybe I’ll ask for extra spice next time. Aside from that, good service and friendly staff. At least the food is good quality, too.

I went in today to try the chicken enchilada plate and was extremely disappointed. The chicken was dry and tough, the guacamole had a sour taste, the beans and rice were flavorless and I ended up just throwing it away. From the other reviews, I thought this was a good place to go to. Maybe this was just an off day, but I will not be returning.
