12 Best Mexican Restaurants in East Palo Alto

“Hole in the wall Mexican with a mol`e sauce that is fantastic. I always go for a taco salad with carnitas. Guacamole can be done to taste jalapeno wise. Family run and they are lovely. Spanish language tv inside, nice garden to sit in outside“

“Good food taste and great service.“

“Wow! First time here and I was blown away by the excellent food I was served. I was not expecting this level given the location and the humble appearance of the restaurant.

Out of their huge menu, I selected three dishes and they all came out within 10 min! All the food tasted delicious. Seasoned perfectly. Cooked perfectly. The orchata drink w/ coconut was excellent too and loved that it was lightly sweet.

I ate half of everything and took the other half home in clear plastic containers. I ordered a second orchata to go. I never take food home from a restaurant. NEVER. I always leave a lot of food behind and let it get thrown away. Always. But I scrapped the plates clean off of all the food that was left because I wanted to eat it all later for dinner. It was all that good. The only thing I left behind was the massive random onion (?).

Overall, outstanding food.

The waitresses and bartender were welcoming and courteous and always ready/available.

Will definitely return.“

“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.“

“Platillos para todos tipos de eventos.“

“These tacos are super Yummy 😋 as a local I definitely recommend. The best tacos in the area🌮‼️‼️“

“Todo está rico 😋 y el servicio es muy bueno de calidad“

“!This truck is at Jack Farrell Park! Go find it!

Chicken mole negro that tasted like México. Apparently made by the patrona herself. I sat and stared into the sky as I savored every bite. It came with two chicken legs that were meaty and tender and delicious, arroz y frijoles pintos and five awesome tortillas.

Then I couldn’t help myself, and ordered two tacos: pastor con piña and pork belly. The pork belly came with an incredible mango salsa on top.

They were both so good that I had to order a ribeye taco. Glad I did, even though I was stuffed at that point. I loved it.

The whole experience was excellent. All the meats were top notch. The maracuya drink. The salsas. This truck is a must visit. To the staff, thank you. ❤️“

“Tenia Buena coming. Pero ahora la Calida esta muy Mal. Yo no recomiendo esta restaurant“

“We literally take every single visitor from out of town, to this place! Our guests can go see the Golden Gate Bridge on their own, they can take in the whole of the city, but the one thing we insist on doing with them, is a visit to "the best ice cream anywhere."“
