I think this means: to carry a grudge or to hold a grudge against somebody.

No, Poli. A berrinche is a tantrum or as was said before un disgusto.

Depends on the contest: it can be to throw a tantrum or in the case of a grown-up to be extremely upset (in this second case it would be less negative).

In Spanish we say tenersela guardada a alguien.

to throw a tantrum
to throw a temper tantrum

In Mexico, it's "hacer (un) berrinche".

to carry/hold a grudge against someone can also be "estar sentido con alguien"
