Mexican Restaurant · Downtown Berkeley · 78 tips and reviews
Megan Briggs: Don't miss the margaritas, ensalada picada, corn, or chile relleno! They only take 5:30 reservations, or arrive at 5:00 to put your name in to be seated at 5:45.
Bommy: Fantastic space and ambiance. Get albondigas, pork enchiladas, and corn on the cob with chipotle aioli.
Dev Anand: This restaurant has a state of the art sound/acoustics system that can spot control noise levels in sections of the restaurant. Pretty amazing! Read more.

Coffee Shop · Southside · 97 tips and reviews
Zuleyha Sucu: This's the sole great atmosphere that I could find to sit outside under the shadow during sunny days in Berkeley. The patio has heaters which is also great in chili weathers. By the way, only cash!
Danielle Howell: My favorite aspect of this place is their outdoor seating and atmosphere. It's a really good spot to study or just people-watch. They also have good slices of cake and make a nice iced white mocha!
Gian Pepe: Early Morning Coffee

Italian Restaurant · North Berkeley · 24 tips and reviews
Frank Kim: The duck soup here is incredible, and the sword fish and the tagliatelle with beef and pork ragu were awesome too.
Yoon Choi: One of the best italian restaurants in my book! Try tagliatelle al sugo with a special house recepie passed down from the grandma generation. Extra fun if you get a bar seat next open kitchen!
Skye J: I may have to come and try this place again. 4 of us went out for a full meal and drinks and the only memorable thing was the cocktails

Japanese Restaurant · 33 tips and reviews
Frank Kim: They have 3 different Hitachino Nest beers, had a great meal here, the flavors of the Ocean Umami, the Uni risotto, and the Calpico sorbet with blueberry were just amazing.
Eater: With both Japanese and American influences, the menu spans sushi, miso-cured pork chops, sea urchin fettuccine, and hibachi-grilled beef tongue. It's rustic and refined at the same time.
Laurie Dalzell: Fabulous food here!
