Chile Jalapeño Berkeley Reviews
Friendly, delicious, generous, happy place. They went out of their way to make a special time happen for us, too. They understand family. Great options for vegetarians also. Everything was perfect and super tasty. Thank you Chile Jalapeño Taqueria!
Wife and I had a bean/cheese super burrito and three street tacos, delicious. Wholesome people working, we love this taco shop. Parking in the rear is difficult sometimes. Expect the best street food here.
Seriously the best street tacos I’ve ever ever had. Thank you so much!

I’ve tried many things on the menu here and everything was absolutely delicious, the staff here is always amazing. Typically you don’t get great food and great costumer service but at this establishment you absolutely do! A must try restaurant!!
Absolutely incredible food; very authentic, good seating environment, very friendly staff and ownership! 10/10 recommend.
Best SPOT in town hands down!! Service is amazing and fast! In and out! Manny and his team gets it RIGHT every time!
The go to spot for lunch, always fast service and great staff (manny is the best!)
Hands down the best Mexican spot in Berkeley. Everything is fresh and full of flavor, but their pastor is on another level—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Every bite reminds me why I keep coming back
Delicious, authentic food. Attentive staff and cute ambiance both indoors and on the spacious patio in back. Private parking lot is a huge bonus!!
Great lunch spot! The carne asada with nopales is fantastic with sizeable portion.
Just a really solid chicken burrito, fantastic fire roasted salsa, nice patio. If you need more than this in your lunch then I wish you luck.
Food and service was great here! There's a parking lot in the back but you can usually find parking on the street. I had the al pastor super burrito which was amazing! They also have 16oz 32oz size for drinks. Next time I come back I definitely will be trying the horchata.
Best burrito I’ve had in years! The meat was perfectly cooked. The chili verde sauce was abundant without being overwhelming. The patio is cute yet no-frills. Street noise is not too bad when seated in the back but it can get loud on the side of the building. Service is fast and friendly.
[Vegan update] I got a delicious and yummy vegan burrito at this local Taqueria. Glad that they actually had a vegan burrito which is not a veggie burrito minus sour cream and cheese. The burrito had well cooked potatoes, veggies, and avocado in it, and quite a big serving. The person who took my order was very sweet and gave me extra spicy sauce and Spanish rice on the side. They also make their rice without any chicken broth or lard, and it's delicious. I guess I am gonna be a regular here
Great experience all round. Authentic food, well made, ready promptly and served with a smile.
Perfect! Great breakfast burritos. No frill. Nice patio. My Sunday morning go to!

Tiny seating area inside and out. Great food. A bit expensive.
I ordered a steak burrito. The steak was overcooked and hard. As if the meat was from the day before.. I called to let them know about burrito. He said I have to order more expensive burrito to get fresh meat.. then stated what do u want me to do. Then hung up. Poor customer service

I have ordered a few times from this place. Food is ok and definitely a go to when we needed rice and beans for kids. In my Last order through Uber eats, they sent me the incorrect dish. When I called to complain, the owner was very rude and unprofessional and told me to resolve it with Uber. Instead of giving us a credit for $11 for their mistake, they wanted me to try to go figure it out with Uber. Horrible customer service, will not be going bad. I could deal with the cold quesadillas but will not come back for bad service.
Ordered a Carne Asada plate, which is $16.5 on the menu. The guy charged me for $24 and said it was due to inflation. And there is no option to tip, so I guess he automatically chose the highest amount for me. Small portion as well.

Worst mexican food I’ve ever had. Absolutely nothing was seasoned. The supreme burrito was disappointing. Please season your meat, rice, add some salt to the beans… something. The guacamole tasted like water… never again. The red salsa was decent and that’s me being generous. Im mexican so I know what good Mexican food tastes like and this is not it. The only good thing was the customer service the man at the register was friendly.
