C CASA Emeryville

Overpriced, small portion, bland taste and improper container. A big disappointment. I ordered a beef bowl at $20 which was a dry and unseasoned mass slabbed on a metal tray. They charge an extra dollar to put it in a container which I had hoped would be more “bowl” like. Had it tasted ok I’d have been fine but the taste was worse than the presentation which is why I was compelled to review. I’ve previously had quesadillas which were very cheesy and also not good although better than the so called bowl. Needless to say I won’t be wasting my money at this establishment.

Generous tacos with house-made corn tortilla. Reasonably priced, filling and delicious. Nope, not your “authentic” taco truck tacos, but great offerings with a Mexican flavor that are served with a most friendly and engaging counter waiter. Definitely going back for more!

Food is good but this is not normal mexican food. Is more of an upscale americanized mexican food in a food court market.

Ordered 2 Carnitas tacos. They are generous in size. These tacos have subtle pineapple flavor that pairs nicely with the pork. Very well balanced and layered flavors.

The absolute BEST Baja Fish Tacos I've experienced and had the pleasure of enjoying. Light and flavorful. When I was under the weather I tried these and they perked me right up. I didn't feel bloated or stuffy after enjoying. The crunch and savory sauce mixed together with the freshness of the fish and slaw, OMG!!!!!!!! Can I say, A-Ma-Zing!!!! You gotta try them. Great for a hot day. The tortilla is made in house daily and fresh. You don't taste oil but fresh fish. Enjoy!!!

Located within the emeryville public market. The tacos here are great. the vegetables in the Avocado Taco I ordered were very fresh !

Love their vegetarian tacos. They're big boi tacos and will really fill you up. The new and fingerling potato one and the white bean one are my favourites. Their Mexican brownie is also very delicious and a perfect soft, gooey, and crumbly texture. A little pricey but it's all worth it in the end.

Nachorizzo and rotisserie duck taco. Amazing taste and quality. On top of that, the lady at the register today was professional and helpful, made a great impression on us. This place is a hit and we will be coming back.

Making our way through the Emeryville Public Market, it was actually somewhat challenging for us to decide on what we wanted to eat. I'm sure how hungry we were had something to do with it, but nearly every vendor/eatery looked and smelled so appealing! Of the bunch, the only one we could really rule out was Super Duper, but that had far more to do with how I've been to their SF locations countless times than if they're good (they are). However, after seeing someone walk by with a plate of nachos from C CASA, I immediately knew what I wanted to get! Of course, that led to the next problem - figuring out what to order. That is, in addition to the aforementioned nachos! While you could argue it shouldn't be that big of a surprise, given how they've got one of the largest stalls inside Public Market, it's still worth noting that C CASA's menu feels notably larger than those of their neighbors. Beyond just having a bunch of different dishes to offer, like salads, bowls, tacos, nachos, taquitos, and quesadillas, the list of proteins they have is equally impressive, such as duck confit, Dungeness crab, and fingerling and new potatoes. It also doesn't hurt that have carvery-type meats too, like rotisserie chicken, Angus steak, and chile crusted chicken! Like I said - the menu has no shortage of interesting options to try! -- PINEAPPLE AGUA FRESCA Not bad, but more solid than spectacular. I liked how refreshing it was (they both were), but I wish this had a stronger taste of pineapple to it. That being said, might be on me for thinking it'd be closer to a pineapple juice. -- STRAWBERRY AGUA FRESCA This really hit the spot! The taste of the strawberry was a bit more pronounced than with the pineapple one and had a slightly sweeter taste to it (though, not in a sugary way). -- NACHORIZOS - C CASA Chips, Chorizo Queso, Chorizo, Black Beans, Pico de Gallo, Chipotle Aioli, Avocado Serrano Crema, and Guacamole Not sure if it's because I had a huge craving for nachos, but the portion seemed a bit light when it came out. However, this was great! The chips were crunchy, there was a fair amount of chorizo, and I loved how the aioli, crema, avocado, and pico de gallo complemented each other (a bit of spice and a cooling sort of creaminess). -- STREET STYLE BAJA FISH TACOS - Tempura-style True Cod, Avocado, Green Apple C Slaw, Chipotle Aioli, Avocado Serrano Crema On the one hand, this didn't taste too shabby. The batter was crispy, the fish was moist and flavorful, and I thought the apples in the slaw added a nice bit of freshness that balanced the aioli and crema. On the other, the pieces of fish in this weren't exactly huge... Despite how the food was definitely above average, I'd be lying if I said the food here was wallet friendly. It's no surprise that the prices here (and at just about any of the other vendors at Public Market) are higher than what you could find elsewhere, as there's a certain premium that you expect being in a food hall like this. Even still, the value feels a bit short for the money. To be fair, even if it had been cheaper, I still would've wanted more of the nachos to feast on, but it was closer to a pile than a mound and the fish tacos, while good, weren't almost-$10-per-taco good. Based purely on taste, I'd consider rounding up from THREE AND A HALF STARS, but they're closer to three when you put everything all together.

Gluten free heavin... but everyone loves these dishes... corn based, insane Easy to pull off tab the Powell st exit on and off hwy 80... Tesla Supercharger, and many other fine food options

We've been coming to the international market for decades even after the remodel. Been to many of the eateries, but this one is definitely a MISS. Ordered the Mahi Mahi taco. Plus star for portion, but totally lacking in flavor. It was over cooked and totally bland. I read another review about there being a salsa bar, but unfortunately there wasn't any available to help bump this taco up a notch. The second item was the chorizo nachos. Another plus for portion size. Definitely shareable for several people, unfortunately it was way too SALTY to thoroughly enjoy. So one meal was bland and the other way over the top. What's going on with the chef!?

Perusing the Public Market for some good eats, our friend picked up a plate of Autumn Carnitas Taquitos at C Casa! It took about 15 minutes before this was ready. Pretty dish sprinkled with decorative, edible flower petals! You get 4 taquitos and lotsa salsa, guacamole and salad on top! This was a good dish! 4.5/5 Despite being quite full, we managed to eat it all!

This restaurant continues to make some of the best Mexican food in the area. Their chicken enchiladas are amazing. The grilled salmon platter is fantastic. Salmon is cooked to perfection. But tonight, for the first time, I had the rotisserie chicken quesadillas. This is quesadilla reinvented for sure. Fresh rotisserie chicken piled between tortillas with a fresh, amazing cheese background. There's a huge mound of avocado. The service here is always top notch. I only wish they sold diet Coke. I have to go searching elsewhere for my beverage. Eating at the Emeryville public market is always a good experience. The public market has changed dramatically over the years. The dining area is clean and well kept. Garbage cans are always emptied, never overflowing. There's even someone standing there quite often to help you dispose of your tray. I recommend going out of your way to eat at this Mexican restaurant.

This is a stall in the Public Market, so you order and get a buzzer for when your order is ready. I had the Heirloom Fingerling and New Potato taco. It was really delicious. I also got an order of the Grilled Street Corn (elote). This was also very good, albeit messy to eat (expected). A good experience, will try other Bay Area locations for next visits.

I should've checked my review before coming here. I ordered a steak plate and got a lot of food. Unfortunately, it was lukewarm and okay. The salsas weren't fantastic. I got one of each. The spicy cup was half filled. The green tomato salsa tasted like lettuce and the red (I thought it had chipotle) salsa didn't taste fresh. I thought that the issue was that I showed up just before they closed at 7:30. I didn't realize that they closed so early, otherwise, I would've found something else. But the lukewarm nature of the food, the salsas (my husband makes much better salsa at home, and the feeling of "meh" while I ate... I don't know that I'm coming back soon. It's sad because the people who worked there were sooooo nice. But I didn't know that spaces were closing so early. I probably won't be back. I think the spot to go to is the one in Napa, where their food is on point! Those are the memories that keep me coming back. It's also sad because they are 100% gluten free, but this isn't the gluten free experience that I'm looking for.

Grilled steak taco is only 1 taco with 4 pieces of meat & lots of salad & grease. The tortilla was soaked in grease. Absolutely no care with their food, the quality of the tortilla seemed good but I could not eat it. The chips were clearly fresh & flavorful. The FOUR thin sliced pieces of steak was not salted. For $13 it's not worth it

I always forget to take photos whenever I come to the Emeryville Public Market, so this is a long overdue. While I've tried many places at the Public Market, C Casa has been my go-to. Food: - Ancho Chile Shredded Beef Quesadilla: lots of flavor in this dish from the shredded beef to the pickled onions that added a nice depth of texture and flavor. The dish also comes with a delicious aioli to eat with the quesadilla. Each plate here also comes with chips, guac, and pico de gallo - Spicy Margarita: strong, flavorful, tasty - Nachorizos: there are two types of nachos available, and we got this one. The chorizo tasted a little different than the chorizo I'm used to, but good flavor from the sauce, cheese, etc.

Delicious shrimp taco, under $10, like eating a salad with lots of shrimp and charred corn in a wonderful sauce on a house made corn tortilla. Could it get any better? Yes! The behind-the-counter waiter was welcoming, friendly and made me smile with his kindliness. We are definitely returning!

The prawn salsa was always my to go. Since 2014 C Casa Emeryville was my favorite spot to take home some delicious dinner. The whole rotisserie chicken with sides were always a plus made my easy dinner nights feel like home cooked meals without any added junk always high quality food. The customers service was always top notch. It's sad to know all three locations have now closed. It is sad to see such an establishment go out bad like that.

Last year I bought their version of a Chicken Tostada and found a piece of plastic in the food. NO WAY! THANK GOD I FOUND THAT PRIOR TO EATING A BITE OF FOOD WITH THE PIECE OF PLASTIC WITH 3 SHARP ENDS. On Friday, June 14th, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt that was a random incident and returned. I ordered a Chicken Tostada again and received a beautiful $10.00 meal. On Saturday, June 15th, I went again for a Chicken Tostada. To my complete surprise I was charged $20.00 and Chicken was an extra $5.00. After going home, air frying a piece of chicken, adding it to the salad and eating the meal ... within minutes I had stomach cramps. REALLY!!! The cashier insisted that I had not paid $10.00 the night before. I will NEVER go back to this place.

Was browsing delivery apps and saw C Casa was available. I have been living under a rock the last few years and didn't know they had locations outside of wine country! I remembered lunch at the Oxbow one was good - many many years ago! The special short rib taquitos were meaty, generous, came with hefty sides of fresh grilled corn and a scoop of guacamole. Loved the creamy horseradish sauce. Get the duck quesadillas - savory and the mushrooms are a earthy pop. The different salsas that came with the chips were excellent - especially the serrano salsa, got some creamy heat! Improvement - something about the chips are off, more salt? Thicker, more texture, quality flavorful corn - truly flavorless. The sauces excel here - def on the cal-fresh-mex side, solid. More acid needed in the guac and wedges of citrus to brighten things up a bit overall, not a lot of layers of flavor other than sauces. The gf brownie was a nice 'healthy' almond flour version of a classic. Love the sentiment, sustainable produce, organic white corn tortillas, housemade sauces but for the price point, there are many places in the East Bay that do it better.

I did not get any food, but their mango marigerta was very good. The service was ok and could have been a little better.

The food was really good here. I'm glad we came. I loved the public market because it offers a great diversity of foods from around the world. Each time we come we try and discover a new country in a new flavor profile. Today we tried sikasa. Their menu was varied and looked exciting. So we ordered our different toppings and foods. We tried the chicken bowls and were completely satisfied. They do a nice presentation on it which is really beautiful. As I was watching the orders leave the window I was wondering what everyone else was having it looked that good. And to tell you the truth it was that good. I highly recommend coming here.

Very happy with the quality of the ingredients. The strawberry watermelon agua fresca was delightful and perfect for refreshing summer hydration. Everything was super fresh, especially the guac that was the topping on the taquitos and beautifully plated. Will definitely come here again.

My husband and I dropped in to Public Market to try some local restaurants! Of course, we always have a special place in our heart for tacos and margaritas, so C Casa was the perfect choice; and there were lots of choices! After staring at the menu for some time, we ordered 4 tacos and two margaritas! We both tried the grilled angus steak, which was enough for us to have only one taco! The tacos are huge and stacked! Every bite we had was filled with delicious ingredients, steak, and blue cheese! Needless to say, that was our favorite taco. The other tacos we tried were the sweet potato & black bean taco and the rotisserie chicken taco. I honestly wasn't a fan of the sweet potato & black bean taco. Although, it would be a great vegan or vegetarian option! It's very hearty, but I would have preferred the sweet potatoes to have some more cinnamon and sugar. The rotisserie chicken was so fresh, juicy, and flavorful. The only con with this taco was that the juice began to make the tortilla fall apart, but that was not necessarily a bad thing! The margaritas are good and strong, like margaritas should be! This was a great lunch after a day in the city. Staff were nice, food and drinks were great, and the Public Market was so lively! We will definitely be back.

I went to C Casa for dinner on 8/18 at 6:42 pm and ordered the vegetarian avocado taco and the grilled mahi mahi taco. I've been here many, many times since they opened and I love the food. It's one of my favorites at Public Market. They have always served the tacos with two tortillas and I make two tacos for each. This time I only got one tortilla so I went back and asked for two tortillas. The guy at the register was slightly disinterested in providing customer service, but he asked the woman working there for two tortillas. SHE WAS ON HER PHONE AND ROLLED HER EYES AT ME! Although I love the food, I'm not sure that I'll go back when there are so many other great spots there and SERVICE MATTERS! Thank you for your quick response! Do you want my email address or my mailing address?

Taco reimagined go be more gringo... but what a nice surprise! 1 taco is about 4 inches and packed with Steak. The good stuff and not chewy full of gristle. Corn, lots of lettuce and this interesting 1000 island like dressing. Yumm

Kids meals are tiny - literally for a 2 year old. The burrito was about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long. The chicken quesadilla was better but still not enough food for most kids. My 8 year old ate 2 kids meals and was still hungry. The brownie was great and the agua Fresca was terrible. Chips and guacamole were good but expensive for what they were.

I ordered the Avocado tacos. The vegetables were fresh and the service was very fast (To be honest it was 2 pm on a Monday afternoon.) They also provide water free of charge.

7/29/23 This fast food Mexican restaurant is in a large food court. We got some quesadillas, chips with guac, and a large salad. To be honest I don't remember anything about the food except that I ate some and didn't go back for seconds (we were sharing the food with a few friends.) Well,.... I guess I do remember the salad being quite substantial with many slices of avocado, so that was good. Can't remember much about the quality of their carne asada. So, I guess that's that. 3/5 #mexicanfastfood #mexicansalad #guacamole

I've been here before and the enchiladas were great with the shredded rotisserie chicken. This last time I went, the chicken was less than stellar. It wasn't the shredded rotisserie chicken. The service was good.

Ordered a chicken taco and a shrimp taco for about $17.00, they were both presented very nice, portions are big, but la k of flavor, I usually expect a hot sauce or piece of lemon for my tacos and these had neither, but what bothered me the most is that they charged me for a container or plate fee, am I supposed to take the food on my hand or bring my own container? I am still wondering why there is an extra fee for what should be part of the served meal .. will definitely not be coming back... there are plenty of other choices, I can always get real mexican tacos elsewhere. Always try to support my own but this place is not going to be one of them.. sorry

Recently in the area and in the mood for a good steak burrito with black beans. Unfortunately, they only do burrito bowls (gluten free guidelines). Was able to get a steak quesadilla tho. Good quality steak, fresh quac and pico de gallo. But it had grilled fresh corn off the cob on it--interesting. Good taste, good service, but way too expensive--$21 + $1.30 packaging fee. Lots at courtyard like seating. Next to a full service bar. Big screen tvs. Busy seating area tho.

I was craving something healthy after a weekend of eating greasy foods, and C Casa was the perfect choice. Lots of other Mexican restaurants only offer one or two vegetarian options, but C Casa has a whole section of their menu dedicated to vegan and vegetarian options. I ordered the Vegan Taco Salad, which was ready about 10 minutes after ordering. Normally, I don't prefer salads, but this one was so beautiful and tasty looking that I couldn't help but try it out. The presentation was beautiful, and the salad itself was delicious! It was zesty and fresh, with a little kick from the crunchy toppings. The avocado also made the salad very filling--perfect for a late lunch. This is a salad I'll surely try to recreate, and I'll be back to try more of C Casa's offerings.

SALMON SALAD- came here with my coworker and I really wanted the dungeness salad but I guess it's been discontinued since Covid! Opted for the Salmon Salad which was a whopping $17! Trying to get my omega 3s in but guess what it was not worth the price lol! Small salad with really hardly any good stuff in it! Plus the salmon was tiny .. actually was surprised at the size! But lesson learnt lol! Not sure if I will try this place again since there are so many options in the public market ....... hopefully they will see these and change it up !

I really like that this place has a lot of veggie options and uses fresh ingredients. I ordered the sweet potato taco, which made for a healthy small meal and had amazing flavors (my one gripe was that the overabundance of pea shoots made it feel like I was just eating a bunch of stems). Next time I may order something a little more like the avocado taco or taco salad, since both looked more substantial and less stemmy.

Pictures of 1000 words. I can say this they live up to their motto house made tortillas, house roasted chicken, really good portions

This place has always caught my eye in the public market and I finally decided to give it a try. Their tacos are on the pricey side ($6.50-$9.50), but they're supposed to be much bigger. I came for a late lunch and after asking the person taking my order, she suggested I get a quesadilla instead of a taco if I was on the hungrier side. I decided to splurge a bit on the menu and get the duck, poblano, and mushroom quesadilla. The filling was really delicious, but it was a bit dry. I think the chipotle aioli was a nice accompaniment to help make up for it though. The order came with chips, salsa, and guac, but I found the guac to be a bit discolored and it didn't seem to be the freshest. Overall, I thought the quesadilla was the best part and I appreciated how everything was gluten free. If you're looking for Mexican food though, this place didn't taste the most authentic but they were definitely innovative in their menu. It was nice to try this place but for the price and quality, I may opt to eat at some other places in the public market instead.

Food ingredients looked very clean, fresh and healthy. Food tasted...meh. Nothing memorable or would make me rush back. I have tried this place a couple times before over the years with the same reaction. I think this was my last experience. For a $9.50 taco you'd expect a superior flavor profile. It did not live up to expectations. Service was friendly and helpful. Five stars there. Great location within the Emeryville Public Market. Plenty of seating.

Wanted to provide an update and appreciate the owner for being responsive. I would highly recommend trying one of the many unique taco plate options. I chose one of the holiday short rib taco plate comprised of short rib, lettuce, tomatoes and surprisingly cranberries which added a sweet and tartness to the mix. Threw in some avocado based hot salsa and it was on ! The taco plate itself is huge and can be shared amongst two or three people. Decided to also throw in small order black beans and cilantro rice which complimented the meal. Looking forward to trying the other taco plate options on my next visit !

Duck on a taco??? Whaaat??? Yeeeesss! My mind was blown and my stomach full from the large taco! The duck taco topped with fresh bell peppers, lettuce and tangerines!!! Yes, the savory taste of the meat mixed with those citrus-y sliced tangerines was a nice touch!!! And do yourself a favor and get all of the sauces!!! I took the leftover sauces home and the sauces made my morning omelette taste like Chef Ramsay had yelled at me in that unique fiery British accent. The quesadilla contained goat cheese which provided a gooey texture, not that "cheese in can" carnival feel. The meal altogether was filling for two people. That chicken bowl was our safety, just in case I didn't want to play "Duck, Duck, Goose." Thank god the duck taco just hit different (as my students would say). Shout-outs to the server, Frankie!!! She hooked us up!!! Great food and even better hospitality.

Horrible customer service. Rang up the wrong order, took it back, made us pay AGAIN then made the order wrong! Overpriced and low quality.

This is one of the healthier options at public market and the food is alright, but the prices are truly outrageous. Like, plan to spend $20 on one taco after tax and tip, and though they're a bit larger than an average taco, it's not by much and comes with no chips, etc. The ingredients seem high quality and the preparations are okay. The chicken and salsas are the highlights in my book.

Food takes long for a taco shop that has all the food already prepared but it's tasty. Plenty of family style seating in the open spaces ama lots of options on a very extensive menu. A bit overpriced though for tacos $16 for a tquitos plate with two tquitos cut in half. But they are hearty and made very well with a little salad in the middle and a guacamole ball

The food is very fresh & colorful. We ordered taquitos, tacos & a rotisserie chicken bowl. Everything was delicious & I would definitely go back!

9 bucks for 1 chicken taco. It's was tasty and 6" round, but very greasy on the bottom. It's hard to justify 20$ for tacos in California.

I'm giving them the two stars for being open on Mondays. However if you're going to charge full price for a taco I don't think it's much to expect it to be as good 45 minutes before closing as 45 minutes after opening. The meat was dried out, tough... if had eaten there I would have sen it back. Tell me instead that you're out or steer me toward something else. I was like duck jerky. My favorite meal from them ruined.

Just payed $18 for 1 taco ($13.50 + tax + tip)They claim one taco = 2-3 street tacos, but this is false. The taco had 1 tortilla, 4 prawns, a bunch of cabbage, and was drenched in a watery aeoli like sauce. The first taco item on the printed menu states "2 tacos per order", when I received my food and it was only 1 taco, the cashier indicated that the 2 tacos per order only applied to the first item on the taco menu. Very misleading, I don't think anyone would knowingly pay so much for a single taco, and I surely won't again.

I ordered the vegan nachos and was pretty disappointed. Often times when you order something that is vegan or vegetarian, what you get is the normal option but without the meat and thats what you got here except it had vegan aioli (which was just the same vegan cheese sauce ive had at many vegan spots) and vegan parmesan (of which there was barely any on the nachos). The normal nachos come with chorizo but the vegan nachos do not have a vegan substitute for the chorizo, they just take it off. Feels cheap and lazy considering I've had some great vegan chorizo in the past so I know it can be substitute. And despite having less ingredients than the normal nachos, these are actually more expensive. Flavor was fine, nothing exciting. Serving size was good and the workers were very friendly which is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. Definitely would not eat here again.

I came inside Emeryville Public Market and I discover this place. I did not regret having this place. I had the Grilled Steak Taco and I was impress how it came it. My Grilled Taco came out amazing! It had plenty of ingredient. Thankfully they came me a fork to scoop out the extra for me to fold my taco. Now I have a place to eat at next time I am at Emeryville Public Market.

Fresh, tasty, non GMO, organic, homemade corn tortillas and straight to business! I know you're paying $10 for a taco (Yikes) but it's worth it! I've been to both the Napa and Emeryville location and my faves are the Ground Buffalo Taco, Grilled Garlic Prawns Taco and the Rotisserie Duck Taco. One of these days I'll get enough courage to order the salad (they always look really good) but I always succumb to the tacos. Best thing about both the Emeryville and Napa locations is they're both in public markets. So if someone in your party is whining and doesn't want tacos, you can tell them to go somewhere else and y'all can reconvene in 10mins.

I have only been here once but will definitely be back. There are many food options around the Public Market but I was glad I choose to try this place. Ordered the salmon dish and it was delish. Beautifully seared salmon on a bed of edamame beans, pumpkin seeds and other veggies was awesome! A tad spicy but very good. The service was okay but I didn't have to wait too long for my food. Price is reasonable.

I've been to this location twice. It's in a food hall with other different eateries and free parking across the street. The first time I got their duck tacos which were pretty good this time I wanted to try their chicken salad. The chicken was unfortunately dry and would say the portion of the salad was very small for $22 + tax and to go fee. The dressing was tasty but also very small portion. It fills like a third of the small sauce thing they give you. I would try again but probably stick to their tacos maybe. The cashier was nice and was helpful since I was asking a lot of questions about their menu.

It finally happened. I actually had a good meal at the remodeled Public Market (review: http://bit.ly/2NbFzgk). I was somewhat pessimistic because I had prior subpar experiences at Shiba Ramen (review: http://bit.ly/2y45O2L) and Hot Italian (review: http://bit.ly/2zB9Q4i), and some of my favorites like Pamir and Noodles Etc. left without saying goodbye presumably because there was a rent hike with the remodel. Jamie W. and I were making an errand at IKEA which we all knows takes a couple of hours because of the parking situation and the absurd obstacle course you have to follow to get the hell out. That made us both persnickety and pecking. That's when I suggested we stop at the Public Market for a bite of lunch. We gravitated toward this spot because of the salads, and we both ordered the $14.50 Spinach, Corn & Edamame Salad with Rotisserie Chicken. They served it on a tray covered in their butcher paper since I assume it's easier to clean than a real plate. It was mixed with zucchini, red peppers, cojita cheese, and a lemon vinaigrette (photo: http://bit.ly/2N8T4NE).Even though there was nothing extraordinary about the execution, the combination of fresh ingredients worked. I'd definitely order it again. FOOD - 4 stars...hearty salad that happened to have a lot of my favorite ingredients AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...communal eating at the Public Market SERVICE - 3 stars...a tad too much 'rude that needs to be toned down TOTAL- 4 stars...finally a bright spot in this renovated food court RELATED - Looking for other options in Emeryville? Here's a collection of places I've tried and reviewed: http://bit.ly/2N61iGj

I've been wanting to try this place for a while,however, I can't say that I'm impressed. I have the small shredded beef nachos for $23!!! I wasn't wowed by anything besides the price because I've had much better for far less money.

Me and a friend chose to get food from C CASA and drinks from Public Bar by Bush. The server at C CASA was super helpful! First time eating there and he was really guiding me through the menu. Food was decent, but I have had better. I ordered the Chicken Quesadilla and my friend ordered Vegan Nachos. We both thought it was ok. Nothing fancy. Nothing we couldn't have made ourselves, especially for the pricing. Would I come back here? Maybe. I'm not dying or fangirling over this place so hard. I'd be down to try other things from the menu but so far I'm not that impressed.

Ok, food was great. I had the nachorizo and a coke. The girl who took my order was super nice and helpful, with a big smile in her face - that's refreshing to see. :) Everything was great except that I paid $22 for nachos and coke. That seems high... but seriously, food and service was great so overall - still very good.
