Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Downtown Berkeley, Berkeley

Sam C. • September 2, 2014Delicious and super reasonable, very attentive staff. I imagine the only reason it's not busy yet is they've just opened. Get the ginger tea, and everything else!

Ben H. • July 5, 2015Damn, this place is delicious. Great chips and guacamole. Tacos, steak, corn. And if you like smokey cocktails, ask for your margarita with mezcal.
