“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“

“This is the place I recommend to friends if they want tacos and the place we take visitors from outside of California to get tacos. Good traditional cuisine that stays busy, is priced reasonably, and has great salsa selections. We usually get multiples of the 8-taco plate“

“We hosted our barbershop holiday party at El Comal Restaurant in Los Altos, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch.

David and Jaime, the owners, along with their entire staff, went above and beyond to make sure our group was taken care of. Everything was well-organized, welcoming, and seamless, which made the night even more enjoyable for our whole team.

We truly appreciated the hospitality and attention to detail. Highly recommend El Comal for group events, celebrations, or just an amazing meal.“

“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.“

“I have been coming to Red Pepper since March of 2020, and the place is fabulous! The staff, food, drinks, and they treat me like a family member. The owner, Mario Gurrola, has always been great to me. He treats me like a son, and so do their staff. My favorite margarita is the Mi Caballo, I am a regular customer, can come to a safe place to feel relaxed. So, come to a welcoming and friendly Mexican restaurant! 😊“

“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!“

“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“

“Best tacos in Mountain view right now, I order cabeza and chorizo and add pineapple there are too good I have to stop by twice a week sometimes, the chicken tacos are also good, I call ahead because they get very busy and also because I call at the last minute.

It is a gas station with limited parking there ara a couple of tables and chairs but it's mostly to go.

The green salsa is the best, super spicy if you don't like spicy don't even try that one, the one on the top right corner is the nonspicy.“

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

“Some family friends introduced us to La Cueva and this has become one of our family’s favorite restaurants. Our girls love the Cheese Quesadilla, Bean and Cheese Burrito and the Kids Nachos (nachos covered with refried beans and cheese). My wife and I have had the Shrimp Burrito, Cheese Enchilada, Chicken Enchilada, and the Carnitas platter. All have been really good with great flavor. Regarding the Carnitas, they cook it perfectly so that there is a slight crispness on the outside yet moist on the inside. The star of the show is their green sauce. It has got the perfect balance of heat and flavor. It goes well with all the dishes we have ordered and I found myself putting on other things that I cook at home. You also get a bag of tortilla chips with your order.

This is a family owned business and their customer service is fantastic. Our food is always ready when they say. One thing to be aware of is that they get busy on Fridays so it might be hard to get through on the phone. But keep trying, it's well worth it. Once you try their food you will be hooked. I highly recommend them!!!“

“Auténtica, comida mexicana, donde Leti aparato paladar ven y prueba nuestro rico variedad de platillo 🌮🌮🌮“

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

“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!“

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

“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“

“This small Mexican cafè is unusual and authentic. It is a house converted into a restaurant. Not fancy, but the food is very good! My usual is the Supreme Borito which is big enough for two maybe three people, but I never stop eating until it is completely gone. That is easy to do because it is the real stuff. It is in an ethic neighborhood, and the conversation is mostly Spanish. I come to the area once a month and 4 out of 5 times I get my lunch there. That is not going chance any time soon.“

“Forget where you were planning to go. This is a must stop food truck, the pastor is so tender and perfectly seasoned. Also it’s actually cooked with pineapple and you get little bits of pineapple with it. All the meats are killer, ingredients are fresh. Price is super reasonable.“

“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“

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

“este es lo mejor de lo que probado la recomiendo por editor de facebook el bagabundo i ueces el cobi 19 i Rigoberto Muñoz ochoa ide las páginas del amor de mi vid“

“Great and hopping busy cafe serving excellent Mexican food at decent prices! Tons of construction workers, cyclists and office workers showing how a good Mexican restaurant can be extremely popular! Free water, nice bathroom and decent salsa bar. Service is quick despite being busy!! We had a pork burrito which was very good! Four tables inside and four outside.“

“The flavors are amazing. Great quality!“

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

“Walked over from my hotel during a business trip. Unassumingly in a strip mall, the inside is bright and colorfully decorated. The margarita was very tasty - I'm not sure what was added beyond the usual recipe, but it had something extra and was delicious. The enchiladas and relleno were also tasty and the servings were large - I was too stuffed for dessert. Did see a number of tables with happy young kids, so I assume the kids' menu is good too.“

“I have been here a couple of times. Today, I asked by an order of three al pastor and one of chorizo. But when paying I did not realized the chorizo one was not included. When received the order I noticed chorizo was missing but was not charged neither. So the person kindly told me no worries I will do it now. And when I was going to pay he was don't worries is ok. This is what i call amazing customer service. When you care your customers this is what you do and guess what I will be back no only because tacos taste great but for that type of service provided to me. Super recommended place.“

“Great food“

“Just a little hole in the wall but menu is terrific. I almost always order the Havasu Salad; it’s huge and I have to remember to dig way down for the black beans.“

“Cute location and was able to find street parking fairly easily on a Sunday. Appears to be family owned business and customer service was great.

The majority of their dishes are elote based. They do not have your typical tacos and burritos but I have an obsession with all types of street corn so I had to give it a shot.

I got the papa elote with steak. It was HUGE and delicious. I added a bit of salt but other than that I loved it. I did not finish it at lunch but had more for dinner that night. It reheats well. I still have some leftover and will likely bring it with me for my work lunch tomorrow!

I only gave the food 5 stars because a) the price (20 bucks for the potato with steak, I think it was 14 or 15 without). Although, in retrospect, since this is now going to be 3 meals for me, the price is fairly reasonable !!! B) the lack of other options. While I'm really into street corn, the rest of my family is not. So this will prevent me for visiting this establishment more frequently.“

“Husband and wife team are very friendly and take the time to talk to you. Food is very good. I would highly recommend this little restaurant to anyone.“

“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.“

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

“I've tried several taco places trying to find some super delicious ones, but this one always tops them (even though there are days when something goes wrong). They have a simple menu, freshly made tortillas, and no added oil, a variety of salsas, I love a super spicy one that's red (I think it's made with árbol chili).

But what happened? Where are they?“

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

“buenísimo 👍lo recomiendo 💯💯💯“

“The gentleman had amazing customer service and the food was delicious 🤤 super burrito 🌯 was 💣 and the tacos were on point 🔥 the area was a little interesting but overall the visit was great and for future appointments at the Stanford specialty clinics, we'll definitely be returning“

“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!“

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

“Good food taste and great service.“

“Paula was great. I picked the stake plate and the desert which was delicious. The stake quality was solid. The service was great. And the place is supper clean. Will be definitely back. I recommend this authentic Mexican restaurant to all Sunnyvale foodies.“

“I had a regular burrito at Mexcal Taqueria and it definitely hit the spot. The tortilla tasted fresh, the ingredients were well balanced, and everything was packed with flavor without being overdone. You can tell they care about the quality of the food. Portions were solid for the price, and the salsa had a nice kick to it.

Service was quick and friendly, and the whole place had a relaxed, authentic vibe. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“The Sunnyvale location is just a few blocks from our house, but it was just not the same for us after Miguel left. When we heard that he had started his own place just a few miles from us, and we we stopped by to check it out. It was absolutely fantastic. We have yet to try a dish that we didn't love, but their chicken mole is to die for. His tequila selection was a pleasant surprise with some rare gems, and he makes a margarita so good my wife mandated a weekly visit. He did not skip a beat on the service side, which is why we followed him to his new place. We met some friends for dinner and had a large party, and he and his entire staff were on top of every table making sure everyone was well taken care of. The place seems small, but it is deceptive and very quaint with a nice bar and 2 separate seating areas inside with a nice, spacious patio area outside. Seems like he picked a gem of a location! Hats off to Miguel, his family, and the entire staff on the new endeavor!“

“Best Mexican & American food in town. Food is so fresh and delicious 🤤“

“Astoundingly delicious and gigantic Shrimp burrito (with generous shrimps!), perfectly hot and fresh thick-cut fries, and super friendly service. At $20 flat all-in with a drink, can’t beat the value. Yummy mild burrito side sauce too. Zero complaints, I’ll be going back!“

“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.“

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