Really amazing platanos (plantains) and excellent tacos de papa (potato tacos). You can order the platanos as a side or a dish with black beans (and sour cream). When I'm in Berkeley, I try to at least stop off for side of platanos. Many Mexican restaurants are getting on-board the potato taco train, and I couldn't be happier. Fried hard shell with a mash of potatoes inside and cabbage, crema and pico de gallo on top. Yummmmm!Once you order, there are a good number of spots inside. If it's nice out, there's plenty of outdoor seating. They bring your food to the table once it's ready.

Found this spot while taking a walk and decided to grab a quick bite! Ordered some conchas, a chile relleno plate, chicken enchiladas with salsa verde, and a horchata latte. Chile relleno plate was okay! Definitely filling however it wasn't MY favorite.. I definitely enjoyed my boyfriend's chicken enchiladas a lot better. Horchata latte was a little too grainy for my liking, and conchas were actually great! For sure coming back for breakfast to try their chilaquiles and other drinks next time! Workers were very kind and helpful :)

Friendly service with walk up ordering. Giant menu on the wall to see easily. My daughter and I shared the nachos with chicken and guacamole. Everything was so fresh and delicious! We did not really care for the chipotle sauce that came on it, but it was also fresh and well made - just not something we like.Can't wait to bring the rest of the family and try the mole!

Taqueria Talavera is doing things right--mostly. We've been here twice, and this review is based on our second visit, which was a Sunday evening about an hour and a half before closing. Service wasn't overly friendly, but not rude either. I'd give them a three-star rating for service. They were probably just tired, closing time and all.Now, let's talk about where they shine: food and pricing. On Solano Ave, they do a fantastic job keeping their menu affordable, especially for college kids, and the portions are generous. We ordered the chicken burrito and the Chile Colorado plate, and both were absolutely delicious!Seating, though, gets three stars. It's a bit cramped, with the entrance right by the seating area and these wooden benches that sit higher than the low tables. Plus, there's a constant flow of on-demand drivers picking up to-go orders, reaching over our heads to grab their bags. That process could definitely use some improvement. Also, no QR code for ordering, so they lack some modern conveniences.They have an upstairs area and outdoor seating, which is nice. The first time we ate upstairs, and this time we saw people enjoying the outdoor area, taking in the evening sunset. One must-try item? The choco flan! It's an amazing mix of flan and chocolate cake. So good, I'll always go back for it. Next time, we'll probably try the tres leches too.All in all, four stars for Taqueria Talavera. Great food and prices, despite a few hiccups. Hope this review helps. Enjoy!

Two words -- Mole Poblano. You can get it with chicken or pork, as a plate or in a burrito. Delicious. The decor inside is artistic and fun, and their outdoor patio is shaded by umbrellas. The service is excellent, friendly, and food comes out quickly. Love this place. I've been coming here for years.

I have eaten the food from here to go a couple times and also attended a bday that they catered, and I've always enjoyed the food. Yesterday I went in with my son and his friend and we ate in. We sat on the top floor and enjoyed the music and the environment. The boys both got a carne asada burrito and chips/salsa (they both ate all of it). I got the carne asada torta and it was fantastic. I ate half because it was large and brought the other half home. My SO enjoyed it as well. It had beef, onions, lettuce, beans, cojito, tomato. Super delicious, and I always order tortas, so top stars. I got my SO a breakfast burrito with chorizp and red sauce on it. He was super pumped. He goes with his coworkers sometimes but has never tried the breakfast burrito. He said it was the best thing he's had from there. Afterwards the boys played for a little in the park next door.

This Taqueria is located right on Solano Ave in Albany with casual outdoor patio and indoor dining. Inside dining is enough for about 24 people. It's on a strip with other ethnic restaurants and boutique shopping stores. Was nearby for a medical appointment and stopped in to get a To-Go order of their chicken flautas (taquitos) and agua fresca drink. They had pineapple, hisbiscus, tamarind, and horchata available that day - so I asked for half hisbiscus and half pineapple, which they happily obliged. There's a digital music box playing latin tunes, and I was tempted to try one of their desserts but will have to return next time to chow down on that and try their other options. Love their beverage selection: the usual agua frescas, Mexican coke, Mexican hot cocoa, cappuccino, expresso, Americano, Jarritos, margarita, sangria, homemade Michelada, tequila and mexican beer. There's also a small kids menu for those under 10 years old. They also have a Taco Tuesday special of $2.50 per taco.Shrimp or fish (Baja style) Taco Tuesday special is $3.My flautas were nice and crispy with a good amount of chunky cotija cheese, served with a small side of salad greens and dipping containers of green and red salsa. I wish they had pickled veggies to add to this, as well as a taco salad bar like other taquerias. Overall seems like a solid place that I would return to with friends.
