About Taqueria Montecristo
Taqueria Montecristo is a taqueria, so expect a short, meat-forward menu, corn tortillas, and salsas made in house rather than a broad sit-down Mexican menu. It sits in Berkeley (94702), CA, independently run.
There is no star rating on file for Taqueria Montecristo yet, so it is ranked here on how taco-focused it is (a taqueria scores above a general restaurant) and how complete its public listing is, not on reviews.
If a trompo is turning, order al pastor. Otherwise asada or carnitas is the safe read. Ask for everything con todo and work the salsa bar.
It runs late, which makes it a solid after-hours option when the sit-down places have closed.
It is on University Ave in Berkeley. Use the Directions button for turn-by-turn.
From its public listing: takeout and outdoor seating.
Call ahead or check the map listing before a special trip. Small taquerias change hours often, and our data refreshes on a schedule, not live.
In our Berkeley taco guide, Taqueria Montecristo is ranked #4 of 22, by taco specialisation and listing completeness. How we rank.
What to expect on the menu

- Al pastor, when there is a trompo turning
- Carne asada and carnitas
- Pollo, and often suadero, lengua or cabeza
- Corn tortillas, doubled
- A salsa bar with onion, cilantro, lime and two or three house salsas
For the real menu and prices, use the venue’s site or the Google listing.
