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“

Overall taste, texture, quality is there. Give it a try.

Very basic interior but clean and polite staff.

“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!“

“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.“

“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++++“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

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

“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“

“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.“

“The best taco I’ve ever had. I came back twice during my two day trip because it was that good. I highly recommend the Al pastor and if you like spicy, ask for it with seranno pepper. Your life will change and you’ll know the true meaning of happiness from tacos.

The only downside is the lack of seating areas, but the food is well worth it.“

“owner is so friendly and food is delicious! blackened fish tacos are the best!!!!“

“The food is delicious. The sauces really stand out here at Palo Alto Sol. See my review at EssentialPaloAltoRestaurants.com“

“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!“

“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“

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

“I’m in love with this place — hands down my favorite spot for Mexican food. The green sauce is iconic (I always ask for extra!), and the grilled chicken burrito is my go-to. Every dish is plated beautifully, and the whole experience is just amazing.“

“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!“

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

No place to sit, so we grabbed our order and went to a nearby park.“

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

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

“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“

“Stopped by for lunch since I was looking for some al pastor tacos and heard this place was a solid contender! Was definitely not disappointed as these were my favorite in addition to the carne asada as well as birria tacos! The truck is located in the parking lot of a gas station so parking can be a bit difficult sometimes but otherwise a great spot to try out. Can’t wait to try other items next time!!“

“Luckily I stumbled across this taco spot instead of going to In-N-Out one day. Safe to say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made! This taco spot is super clean, super fresh, super friendly, and all around perfect. I feel like if I close my eyes and you told me I was in Mexico again, I would believe you. The tacos are that good! Would give it 10 stars if I could.“

“Lowest priced taco truck in Mountain View. Fast service, accept Zelle and major credit cards. Accept phone orders, great tasting food. As of 7/3/2025, they moved locations and are now near the corner of Latham St. and Showers Dr. Across from Target and DMV.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Vengan a probar la comida en este lugar es muy rica fresca sabor como echa en casa muy recomendable“

“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 food is so fresh and tasty! They make everything to order so it takes a little longer but it is worth it.“

“So happy that Casa Lupe has opened another location.
These are old family recipes, made with love. Everything is super fresh and very nice quality. The service is friendly and prompt. This is a great place to unwind and enjoy a great variety of dishes. Seating inside and outside. I'm especially fond of the chicken mole and chile verde.
Some parking in the front, lots of parking behind the building.“

“I only first went here today. I had never walked past before today but I was hungry so I gave it a try.
First I tried two pastor tacos. They were very good.
Then I got a pastor burrito which is probably the best I’ve had.
Neither were at all greasy which is unusual for pastor.

Would be nice if they had seating but the pastor burritos and pastor tacos are incredible.“

“My wife LOVES burritos! It’s her favorite food! She’s been to many taquerias, but this is one of her favorites! It’s rare for her to say that she REALLY likes something, but she can’t stop talking about this place!

She got the carne asada super burrito! She also said the sauce is amazing too!

We live in San Bruno (close to SF), but we’ll drive down for this place! 10/10!“
