Casa Latina - Berkeley

What a wonderful experience to eat here. Cosy and comfortable atmosphere, really nice staff. Pastries are so good, and they have such a great variety.

Magical Mole! The spice blend stands out from the mole you're used to. Hints of cinnamon and cloves are recognizable. Flautas drenched in this delicious taste mole were the subject for our lunch time delight today. Casa Latina Bakery is a Berkeley gem. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. There's plenty of space and yet there's always a buzz in the air. Make sure to hit that wall of scrumptious baked goods! You will be back for more! That hand made creem cheese in the Danish is addictive!

I remember this place from back in the day when it had more limited menu selections, but now that it has been reborn as a taqueria, and Mexican restaurant, all I can say is. W.O.W. Though I didn 't plan on it, I hit it on the nose and walked in here on a taco Tuesday and the tacos are $2.50 each, and they don 't skimp at all. All. I decided to try the works and got one of Barbacoa, one of Pollo Asado, one of carne asada, and one of what they call heritage carnitas. Now let me just lay it down here. Heritage carnitas are the kind of carnitas that I like above all others. Soft and moist with bits of fat, absolutely tender to the bite, and full of pork flavor, these are the kind of carnitas you would find in Uruapan, in Michoacan, Mexico, at one of the stands like Los hermanos olivos. The Barbacoa, was incredibly tender, reminding me of perfectly cooked Ropa Vieja , a Sauteed, slow cooked Cuban skirt steak, and the amount of meat they put in every taco as I said before was impressive. I got called away before I could finish the other two tacos, so, rather than review them at home after reheating them I decided to go back down there later this week and I will give you guys another review then. But all I can say right now is, that this place is an absolutely solid taqueria and Mexican restaurant, with a really nice staff and located in the flatlands of Berkeley and Easy to access from just about anywhere. Highly recommended!

If you love a amazing food, wonderful atmosphere, and great service, this place is an absolute MUST TRY. From the moment we arrived, we wretched greeted by friendly and helpful staff. Seating was plentiful and the ambiance of the dining area was airy and inviting. The food came out promptly and everything was incredibly fresh. I ordered the Chile relleno plate, and it was amazing. Everything was perfectly seasoned and the sauce was delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Best breakfast burrito in the east bay is served here. Lovely bakery with fresh bread everyday, you get it yourself Just like a classic Hispanic bakery. Atmosphere is great, lovely workers, and great people. Id recommend anyone whose close by to come visit, you won’t regret it!!
