50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Belmont

“Great tacos! The buche, carnitas, and cabeza were all really good (and large/meaty). Each one had a different delightful texture but cabeza was my favorite.... so tender! Fresh salsa bar and free chips are a huge plus. Also the free deep fried jalapenos was a nice touch. Next time I've gotta tried that awesome looking giant fried fish plate.“

“Food is fantastic! I usually order a super burrito and it has never disappointed. Meat is cooked to perfection, rice and beans are always delicious, their salsa is very spicy and very good! I'll definitely change it up next time I go, but they have been very consistent every time I go.

Service is okay, not the best, as some of the seem shy or embarrassed to talk. But not rude by any means. They at least offer chips, water, etc.

I love the location and parking is very easy. The lights and windows make it look nice at night!“

“Such a great place! I've been going since I was 8 with my dad and the food and atmosphere is always great. A little pricey, but so is everything in the area. I recommend the nachos, the cheese and bean burrito, and the enchiladas. I don't recommend the horchata, as it's way too sweet“

“I always come here on Mondays when I work in San Carlos. One of the best burritos and quesadillas I ever tried so far. The portions are huge, barely can finish it. Very delisious and juicy burritos, specially shrimp one. Nice service, the lady very friendly, and always smiles. Defenetly reccomend👌🏼“

“Delicious food, super friendly service. A little slower than a typical restaurant, but that’s because everything is made to order and not sitting around in a pan waiting to be served. The food was amazing, and so pretty!“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“I love Cuco’s!! All women staff. They do everything right.“

“Absolutely everything is so good. The owners, the team, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere. I couldn't love a place more.
They are known for the roast pork which i highly recommend. I've been here several times and ate at their food trucks. Never had a bad experience. ??♥️“

“Love this place so much! Some of the best tacos I've had in quite a while. I got 3 tacos. 2 al pastor and 1 asada. The meat is fresh and the right amount of flavor and the salsa on the tacos are perfect. What's nice is they also have a salsa bar where you can get a bag of ships and different salsas. Definitely going back again“

“Fantastic. We’re here from out of town and chose to eat here based on the reviews for good tacos. As we approached the restaurant my brother stared, “oh it looks like a house. This is going to be good,” and he was right. This is now our 3rd time eating lunch here in 8 days. First 2 trips we enjoyed the street tacos and today we ordered the torta. Can’t go wrong with any of the meet selections but my favorite is the al pastor.

We’ll be back to Palo Alto and that means coming back to Taqueria La Cazuela. Thank you for the great food and wonderful experience.“

“Ordered over the phone and the order was made quick. It was ready by the time we arrived. They misheard that I wanted an extra burrito similar to one of the other ones but they were super nice about it and prioritized making the extra burrito. Super friendly and cared about the customer. Salsa bar was cool and the vibe was nice. Burritos were huge and delicious. This was a great spot and I’m planning to visit a lot more. Value and service 5/5“

“La Tapatia makes The Best " Carnitas " I've ever tasted "Muy Bueno" I buy Some at least 4x a month with freshly made Corn Tortillas ummmm 👍“

“This is by far thee best spot for the most delicious and authentic Mexican food around hands down the best in the business the staff and super nice and their prices are great! The tostadas de ceviche, chile relleno burrito and birria ramen are just some of the crowd favorites too much to list I highly recommend them give them a try it’s a must!!!!“

“The portions are large and cooked with love. Everything on the menu is fantastic. The staff is friendly and actually cares about their customers. A really fantastic secret little jewel to go enjoy“

“I’ve been there a few times and is always very good I highly recommend“

“The food here was amazing! I got the super nachos with steak, and the regular burrito with grilled chicken and another burrito with steak. They were all delicious. Food came out in a timely manner.

The servers were friendly and are able to accommodate tourists. I wish they were a little more welcoming to usher people more proactively!

There’s parking in front or down the block, there’s a parking lot. It was really cheap for the hour.“

“recuérdame reservación taquería por chiquitas buenor por editor de facebook Rigoberto Muñoz ochoa“

“Used to go here basically every Thursday for dinner (I have a class Thursday night and it was easier), and every single time I went there it was incredible. The portions are incredibly generous, the food itself is an 11/10, and authentic too! Staff are incredibly kind, and even got to know me and my parents after a while. I miss going there, I’ll try and support them again.

P.S. They give free chips and salsa with every order if you remember to pick them up! Don’t forget about those!“

“Do you love going to Flavortown? How about dreaming with your eyes open? Then try these birria tacos. The first time I had it was from leftovers that my daughter brought home for lunch. Then I drove from Oakley to San Mateo to have them fresh. It was AMAZING! They provide extra stuff to add to the tacos, but it honestly didn’t need them. The meat was so tender & flavorful that I had to close my eyes so I could fully appreciate the taste. Then I added the extras one by one & it tasted like a new taco each time. I know it seems like I’m exaggerating, but it’s really that good! My only wish is that they had seating nearby & a second location closer to Oakley.“

“Eat here you will not regret it“

“Came for the camarones a la diabla (“Devil’s Shrimp”), which they don’t have on the menu but are happy to make it for you. I actually enjoy theirs more than El Farolito! Also HIGHLY recommend their pastor tacos. Their salsa is top-notch, which I am very picky about. So lucky I live two minutes away!

Parking: Park behind if you can’t find on street.“

“buenísimo 👍lo recomiendo 💯💯💯“

“Best Chile Verde I have had in years! Excellent food, friendly staff, and pleasant setting.“

“delicious food. very kind staff. will definitely be back.“

“Still the best kept secret in San Mateo. I’m moving tomorrow and this food is what I’m going to miss the most. The portions are generous, the price is affordable, the service can’t be beat. Cash only. Small parking lot. Family owned and operated. The carne asada is delicious! Actually I haven’t had a bad meal here. Take away is available. You won't be disappointed . Skip the la cumbre and pancho villa. Come get the best!“

“Good counter service option on Laurel Street. We’ve eaten here a few times. It’s good in that I like a few specific menu items that we tend to reorder and they are consistently enjoyable. Ambiance/location is great and good for bringing friends or visitors for a casual bite before or after strolling Laurel Street“

“Good food taste and great service.“

“I loved my experience there - great food and cocktails.“

“This was a great place! We loved it very much. We are from out of the area and enjoyed this cozy little café. It is so clean and the restrooms are beautiful. The inside is welcoming and the staff is simply amazing. I cannot recommend this place enough. Please go and then go again! Because you'll want more. Thank you for a great adventure. My husband and I appreciated your hospitality and the meal was more than we could have ever dreamed of.“

“My son and I YELPED for Mexican food.Good Mexican Food, and decided to give this place a try. I had the Spicy Shrimp Plate, and my son had the Steak and Spicy Prawns. They also provide Tortilla Chips and a Salsa Bar. The guy who cooked our food, knows how to cook! My shrimp was absolutely a balance of green/red peppers, onions, in a slightly sweet, savory and mildly spicy sauce. The Rice was done just right(not dried out).The Black Beans, were tender, with just the right amount of salt. The Iceberg lettuce and sliced radish was cold, fresh and crispy— Served with a dollop of sour cream, avocado sauce; a slice of tomato and sprinkle of Mexican cheese top the salad - it did a nice job to balance the heat of the main course. Everything was well executed. The overall indoor atmosphere is very clean, simple and no frills. Love their neon menu signage. And, their prices are reasonable. Thank you for the delicious meal. We will be back.“

“los mejores tacos los recomiendo🤤“

“This food truck is worth a stop if you're wanting delicious tacos, tortas, and burritos. I have not been disappointed. They offer a variety of drinks including a strawberry horchata. I appreciate the fast and friendly service and delicious Mexican food. Atmosphere rating technically doesn't apply.
They generally park in a shaded area, so you can wait for your food in the shade.“

“Mexican Japanese fusion... Who Knew!

Absolutely fantastic. Easy to pass by... Some sketchy characters out front, but absolutely worth the trek to East Palo Alto!

Kid-friendliness: Normal non Mexican options for the philistines... I mean lovely children.“

“Ordered Chorizo breakfast burrito

I was given a burrito with chorizo and was still pretty good. Even without being an eggs and potato burrito, it was still good.

The rice and beans had great flavor. The beans were smooth and the chorizo was tangy, mildly spicy, and not overcooked mixed with eggs.

The last bites of burrito was like eating a quesadilla so that was different.

There is a salsa bar and I love spicy salsas. The creamy orange red looking habanero spicy salsa is an 7/10 in spiciness.

The chips are really crunchy not thin so also great.

I love when you can get radishes at the restaurant to help cut the fat of a meal.“

“Excelente atención los tacos 🌮 de pastor y zuadero riquísimo el agua de horchata riquísima 100%recomendado“

“Everything here is good but I have to say the Huevos Ranchero and the birria tacos are the best on planet earth. The handmade tortillas are absolutely delicious. The young lady who works at the front is so kind and has a warm welcoming personality. I live in Sunnyvale but I try and eat here any time I'm in the area.“

“I LOVE elote, so when we drove my Maizz I was excited and came back a week later hungry. I didn't know what to order since everything is essentially elote flavored. I went with the traditional corn on the cob (elote stick). It was covered in deliciousness, but it got all over my face as I ate it. Not a date food. My husband got the carne asada smothered elote fries. The fries were a undercooked, but the meat was delicious as we're all the flavorings. We also got to try the deep fried corn ribs, and those were my favorite.“

“Very cute to-go place. Perfect for a quick lunch pick up especially if you work in South City. I got the unagi with egg (savory with a hint of sweetness) and takoyaki which were both hot and fresh! I want to try the fruit sando and pork sando next time.I purchased it at the Kei Sushi location.“

“Food delicious and authentic“

“A good Mexican restaurant which has a large portions. They also have chips & salsa with unlimited refills. The food is kind of hit and miss. I tried fajitas, molcajete, shrimp cocktail, enchiladas & Celia's sampler. The shrimp cocktail was delicious and enchiladas & fajitas seemed decent. I did not like the appetizers.“

“Great food. Fantastic value. Don’t tell people, it’s already too popular 😃“

“Living just two blocks away, I made it a weekly ritual to dine here, and it remains my absolute favorite spot for street tacos. While I miss the salsa bar, a casualty of the pandemic, it was heartening to find the tacos tasting just as delicious as they did six years ago during my recent work trip. It's reassuring to see that this gem is still thriving.“

“Hadn’t been here in nearly 30 years, we moved to Seattle, but back for vacation. Had to have the Cancun platter. Just like I remembered!!“

“Highly recommended. A great place to have comfort food. I had the best quesadilla I've ever had! A very clean place. Family operated. Can speak English and accept phone payments. The to-go containers are recyclable. Clean tables with shade to eat next to the truck. conveniently located on University Avenue next to Shell gas station. If you happen to pass the station while going toward Dumbarton Bridge 84, I highly recommend stopping by. Even if you are not hungry take it home or to work. I guarantee you will like it and come back. Very nice and friendly staff. I'm planning to try their other foods and report.“

“Everything was great. Waiters were friendly. Overall 5/5!“

“Best Chile Verde I have had in years! Excellent food, friendly staff, and pleasant setting.“

“I live at the top of the road and I passed this for a year. I thought it was there because we have had a ton of construction on the road. Thought I’d give it a try… oh sweet baby Jesus I’m glad I did. The tortillas are made from SCRATCH!!!!! The meat is not grease the flavor is a chefs kiss amazing. Tacos are $3 a piece, that’s all I’ve tried but the my dying to try more. They have burritos and tortas. Def give this truck a taste you won’t be disappointed.

Parking: It’s a dirt lot“
