Mario's “La Fiesta” Restaurant Moves — Mario and Rosalinda Tejada, owners of Mario's “La Fiesta” Mexican Restaurant, relocated their restaurant to a beautiful site located at 2506 Haste St. (behind Amoeba Records & next to People's Park). The restaurant's decor has totally changed — gone is the small, atmospheric space. The restaurant now occupies a spacious, light-filled long banquet room with additional seating in the 
rear courtyard. It really has the feeling of a festive restaurant in San Miguel de Allende.
The Tejada's also rent the space for special parties or events with mariachi bands.
Mario and Rosalinda were celebrated by the city of Berkeley several years ago and had a day named after them in honor of their continuous service to the community, neighbors & fellow merchants in the Telegraph Area.
We wish them great success at their new locale. It is always a treat to eat at Mario's.
Berkeley's Telegraph Avenue is an adventure. One of most interesting streets in the San Francisco Bay Area, it is lined with crafts vendors selling their handmade clothing, jewelry, crafts and artwork; restaurants and cafes representing diverse cultures; and shops selling everything from Tibetan ritual artifacts to hats. All are a part of the colorful landscape of Telegraph Ave.
