50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Los Altos

“The food was really very tasty. The staff were very humble and courteous. Food was served in an excellent way.“

“The best Al pastor I’ve had in the Bay Area! I’m from LA and miss the street tacos at every corner but this place definitely scratches that itch. They grill their burritos and fill them with the perfect amount of each ingredient. I keep coming back!“

“When a place has been around as long as this, there must be something good there! That's the case here. Been coming here for years and won't stop coming since we always have a great experience, great service and delicious food. Came here for an early dinner so right when the opened and allowed us to get great service, enjoy the outside patio and the quietness of the street.

Great dinner, will be back again“

“food was good, bu the person seating people was very rude ! like you were bothering him when we asked if the patio was available, other service was good.“

“We've been going to the red pepper ever since it was in Monte Vista. It's still a very good casual restaurant with good food. The carne asada is the real deal and it's just fantastic tender and delicious. We were told they marinated for days on end to get that flavor and tenderness. It's a cut above your typical Mexican restaurant, but still a casual eating place with an extensive drink menu.“

“The al pastor tacos are insanely flavorful and addicting + the 4 salsas provide a great variety. I'm a huge cilantro fan, and our food tasted super fresh and was very well made. They charge about ~20 cents extra to take out instead of dine-in. Very clean bathrooms as well!“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“Just happened upon Paper Platez, so very glad we did!! Food was phenomenal service was great. It was fun talking to the owners.“

“muy rica la comida algo original ben y deleita tu paladar tienes que probar sus salsas y diferentes platillos qué ofrecen una diferente gama de combinaciones y sabores 😉 100% recomendado“

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

“Excellent. Tasty food, I particularly enjoy the Veggie Burrito with black beans, it is my favorite veggie burrito in the area. I highly recommend it. The chips and green salsa, which they serve at every table, is also a favorite for me, it is very different than any other salsa I've ever tasted. This is a small, family owned business, and the owners and personnel are very friendly. The price of the food is very fair, my fav burrito (Best vegetarian burrito in town) is $10.10 including tax. Enjoy!“

“MONDAY FOOD REVIEW...PUESTO...6/17/24! After leaving California's Great America, we stopped for lunch at Puesto, a Mexican/American restaurant, located at 2752 Augustine Dr., in Santa Clara. This restaurant features Mexican dishes with an American flare infusion! I had their their Shrimp a la Plancha, which is Mexican shrimp, garlic butter, red onions, jalapeños, guajillo chile, avocado, and Tamarindo-chile sauce, and it comes with herb lime rice, black beans, and blue corn tortillas. This was absolutely fabulous!!! It wasn't your typical Mexican dish...the different ingredients they used to create this dish all blended together VERY well!!! If you are looking for a little something different to satisfy your Mexican food craving, and want some added flair, then this is THE restaurant to go to!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!! My rating: 10++++“

“Got a burrito was really good. Our server , Sylvia recommended a margarita…it was great. So…great food, great drinks and great service.“

“I come here for my lunch- just walk across the street. I just found this place and wish I found it sooner. I get the carne asada burrito and it’s amazing. I love the salsa and the way they cook the meat. This is now a staple in my diet. Thank you, Margarita’s!“

“Staff is always welcoming and smiling. Service and food is great. I have tried the tacos, enchiladas, burritos, all are delicious. I enjoy coming here. The patio has a nice atmosphere and the ladies working here are nice! I will continue to come here and support.“

“This is a delicious spot to swing by and pick up a Cali Borito 😋. They put avocado and chipotle sauce on mine. I loved it. Salsa was good, and they have a nice shaded spot to sit down and enjoy the food. My borito and large glass bottle Coca-Cola was $19.“

“Local mex restaurant. They also have a food truck that's goes around.
Try the fajita quesadilla.
They fry a whole corn tortilla as their chips with bean/chorizo dip.
Lots of sauces to choose from at the sauce counter.“

“The flavors are amazing. Great quality!“

“We enjoyed a nice dinner in this family owned comfy place. The food was very good although the chicken didn’t seem like it was grilled (asada) just plain chicken. The portions were good but everything needed salsa on it to have enough flavor. Steak was also just a little flavorless. The margarita was delicious. The service was excellent. We definitely enjoyed Casa Lupe!“

“Been going here my whole life. We know the family and are very close. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere.“

“I've been coming here for twenty years!! Always the best food , best staff , drinks and perfect location DT Mountain View. Love this spot! #highlyrecommend“

“Great food“

“Delicious! I had a super burrito asada which was very flavorful. My wife had pigs ear and beef tongue tacos which she enjoyed even more than my burrito. Excellent salsas, pickled jalapeños, carrots and red onions.
No place to sit, so we grabbed our order and went to a nearby park.“

“Great customer service. Fresh Salsas, every day they told me. The place is great for lunch or dinner. I had a chicken burrito. It has sour cream and guacamole rice and beens. It was good! They tell me that the wet burrito is good. After they Wrap the burrito they add cheese on top after it's been wrapped and then they add a special sauce the one they use on enchiladas and then they put it to bake so the outside cheese melts. Sure sounds tasty I would say!“

“Great food at reasonable prices..great selection..friendly folks..“

“Beautiful place, nice service! It’s my first this place,maybe soon again!“

“My fiancé and I stopped by randomly and were so glad we did. The service was great, place super clean and calm. But what topped it off was the flavor in the food. I’m Mexican and this food reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking!! I definitely recommend this place!“

“I’ve eaten phenomenal Mexican food of all kinds throughout the U.S. and Mexico and this is up there with the best of them. The pastor is not greasy, the asada full of flavor and well chopped. The burrito is expertly crafted and the quesadilla is loaded with meat. Even still, the tacos might be the best simply for the authenticity of them. Meat, onions, cilantro, and salsa. And my god, the salsas. The aguacate is the perfect accompaniment to the spicy, smoky, slow burn salsa roja that had me addicted to the heat. Will be back over and over again.“

“Good food taste and great service.“

“I love their food here. i am very picky on restaurants. But this place always satisfying for me. i always have the Camoranes(diablo) plate. So good!! This place is clean and the staff are very friendly and on point on your food orders. i love it!!“

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

“buenísimo 👍lo recomiendo 💯💯💯“

“I'm gonna really regret letting everyone know about one of my favorite spots cuz then it's gonna be popular, BUT I can't hide this one, not only do I want to see their business thrive, but I have to tell the community about the savings to be had with this place. In a world 🌎 full of 75 dollars for 2 burger meals, we have La Mexiqueña, I can get 2 Super quesadilla plates, it's called Super Quesadilla on the menu but trust me, it's a plate, you get your delicious authentic rice and beans, your yummy salad with avocado, lettuce and tomatoes, and a big ol' quesadilla with your meat (or no meat) choice, it comes with corn or flour tortilla, the corn tortilla one is aaaamaaazing. Big slices of quesadilla loaded with cheese also. So let me tell you, I got 2 of those orders okay, plus a tall size Mexican Coke... 34 bucks, ahahahahaha, 34 bucks!!!! And it filled us uP! Gracias La Mexiqueña, keep up the amazing work 👏“

“My friend treated me to a late lunch today. She had heard good things about El Buen Sazón and we were so happy to have dined there. Eric our server was very friendly and welcomed us to the restaurant. He told us that breakfast was still being offered and let us know about the daily special along with what drinks were offered. We sat outside. The traffic could get loud but did not take away from our visit. My friend and I both liked each salsa that accompanied the chips because they had a bit of a kick! The Tostada Bowl with birria was delicious. I ate too much because I could not stop! My friend chose one of the starred items on the menu, the shrimp tacos. She liked them and thought the beans and rice were good too. I know my friend will return to El Buen Sazón. And next time I come back to town, I want to try more items off their menu. Thank you, Eric for your wonderful hospitality!“

“Very good drinks fun atmosphere“

“great 👍 love grandma's special been going there for years!“

“Flavor resembles any great taco place you can be at, anywhere in Mexico.
Caldo de Pollo (Chicken soup) is huge and flavour-rich. Hand-made tortillas. Wow! Taco flavor took me back to Mexico for a couple of seconds. Friendly staff. Fantastic!“

“The bistek asado. omg! soooo tender. we ordered it medium. it was perfect. We also ordered the pollo rostisado con mole. it was tender and tasty. Thank you for accommodating us with no reservations. make reservations. place gets packed quick.“

“Came and got a super burrito and it wasn't bad but I honestly don't remember much about it. They're parked up on the curb where the car wash is so no parking lot but you can park on the street but be careful when crossing because people drive a bit reckless in the area and aren't paying much attention.

I want to come back and try their tacos so may provide an update if I get the chance.“

“Amazing shrimp quesidilla highly recommend this fabulous place on Castro St Mountain View“

“They ran out of beer and the waiter just ran down the street to get more! Great service!“
