Casa Latina

Ordered 1/2 dozen Pork Tamales and 1/2 dozen Chicken Tamales. They even gave me side containers filled with sauce, sour cream and cheese. These tamales really hit the spot. First off they're HUGE. Stuffed with tons of filling and have lots of masa too. The masa was so fluffy and yummy. I'm looking forward to go back.So glad I found this place. Nice staff and fast service.

If you want homemade authentic Mexican food in Berkeley with a touch of class, Casa Latina is your go to. It's a little more expensive but the feels, the taste, and the quality is worth it. Even the traditional panderia inside the restaurant had me drooling when I ordered my Nopalitos tacos, some of the best I've ever had too and they ain't skimping and you're getting legit Oaxaca cheese! When taking a look at the menu they have some of the best traditional offerings and a very Popular Mole too! lots of yummy choices to choose from. The Ambience consists of a home feel with traditional and cozy accents that are well represented. Service was delightful from one of the main gals - they give you a number and bring your food to the table. This was my second visit and enjoyed it as well. On my way out I had to hit up the self-serve bakery with a fresh espresso for the road. Gracias!

Dorado tacos rock.As my girlfriend said this is the best 6$ sandwich in east bay.Their food is always consistent and delicious.

Delicious! What more can I say? Ordered the carnitas which was cooked to perfection. I loved the black beans, salad and corn tortillas that came with it. If I lived closer to the place, I'd go at least once a week

This restaurant is so cute and situated right on the corner. We found parking right in front of the restaurant and walked in to order at the counter. There were so many options to choose from and looking around at other tables, the food looked amazing. I ordered a Jamaica and some tamales with mole on top. I also got a side of rice and beans. Everything was amazing and my boyfriend got mole enchiladas. The server/cashier was great he helped us pick what to order. I love the ambiance of this restaurant it was like eating at a family's house. There was a big window in the front with fresh breads and pastries. I highly recommend to anyone who likes Mexican food

Had a nice brunch here today with a friend and our kids. It's a nice casual vibe so easy to bring kids that need to constantly run around a bit. You order at the front when you walk in and then find a table. It was easy to get a table around noon on Sunday. I ordered the breakfast enchiladas with chorizo and they were delicious. I likes the side of beans but thought the potatoes could have been more spiced. I definitely want to come back and try more things.

We had a a friend and family get together. There was 6 of us ready for lunch. Our daughter selected a place she had tried before. Pleasant entrance, and Freida theme decorations. Casa Latina with its happy but very busy workers, featuring Mexican food and bakery. Entering I noticed orders were taken at the counter (no table waiter, but some orders are delivered). High ceiling and hard floors make it a little noisy but the food makes up for it. Plenty of seating for a sorts of choices to seat.I ordered the Micheladas to drink. It was made with a dark beer this time. Fun changing it up. We ordered to share and a lot of food stated arriving at the table. Plenty of red and or green salsa for the asking. We got guacamole with chips (the guac was awesome). Also Empanadas, Platanos, tacos and a burrito, Mole Poblano, and more. It was a feast. I happily noticed the portions are huge and delish. But be prepared for a little more heat than you usually get.This is a great place for take out as well. They were very busy the whole time we were there.

Taco Tuesday? Say less! Companion suggested we grab some tacos and I thought it was a great idea. We chose Casa Latina as it was our first time dining there together.The restaurant's environment is brightly colored, with neighborhood vibes, and art sprawled throughout. It's the right-sized restaurant for small or larger parties as seating is all self-service. The workers are all courteous and ordering is done at the front with limited interactions. There's a lot to take in in terms of the food. Traditional and nontraditional Mexican and Latin American foods, plus a bakery! I've had their pastries before but not their tacos in a while. I got the Carnitas Taco and my companion had the Al Pastor Taco; both were discounted for taco Tuesday. The carnitas taco was the juiciest taco I've ever had--literally, juice wouldn't stop spilling it. The carnitas was good but could've had more flavor while my companion's Al pastor was dry. Both tacos had some heat due to the salsa, I'd opt for it on the side next time.Berkeley has a variety of options for Mexican food. Casa Latina is pretty good for prices and portions, but I wouldn't actively seek this restaurant out. Parking is street only and the restaurant is found off San Pablo Ave.

Nice decor, nice place m, good pan dulce, meat alright, but very expensive, very expensive. Flan is alright.

Another regular haunt of mine, it combines a totally hip and youthful interior with good eats, and great service. Don't forget the pan dulce! I recommend.
