“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 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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

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

“Have been regularly going to this taco truck for 2-3 years now. Their food quality is amazing and has consistently impressed me. Definitely a fan of both their red and green sauces, but personally love the red sauce the most. The family that runs the truck is very friendly welcoming! Highly recommend the vegetarian burritos and quesadillas“

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

“Food is delicious!! 10/10. Had a super burrito that was amazing. Very flavorfull. Had 4 tacos 2-barbacoa meat was so tender. 2-alpastor meat had flavor and texture. Had one of the best horchata drinks. Jamaica was very refreshing with perfect sweetness. Highly recommend!!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Having a restaurant focused on corn is a novel idea. Food is good, sometimes spicy, and ask for more spice if you need it, and it's easy to be gluten-free here if you need that, and vegetarian if you need that. This is a small place, kind of a lunch spot and a take-away place.“

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

“Man, this place just keeps getting better!! The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff feel like your friends, and the food is the best! I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and it’s all delicious, the chile relleno holds a special place in my heart. No one makes a chile relleno as good as casa lupe! Their margaritas also a great addition, perfect after a long work week! Definition of a locals spot.“

“The food itself was good, but the dine-in experience was a bit disappointing. Since there seems to be an extra charge to eat in, I was expecting the food to be served on proper plates. Instead, it was given on a paper plate inside a takeout bag, which felt more like a to-go order. Hopefully this is something they can improve to better match the dine-in pricing and experience.“

“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!!“

“buenísimo 👍lo recomiendo 💯💯💯“

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

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

“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 👏“

“Very good drinks fun atmosphere“

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