“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!“

“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.“

“Hidden gem for this establishment! The food is bomb diggity good. The salsa is really delicious and add it to your food and it will enhance the flavor to the maximum! The enchiladas were very flavorful and I would get it again. The torta was so so good I didn’t mind the burnt ends of the bread. Overall this place food is delicious and I recommend it. Yummy 😋“

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

“One of the best veggie burritos. For many places veggie burritos is an afterthought but not this place. They put avocado, beans, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, etc. and the combination tastes great. Also it's a nice food truck with cute tables on the side.“

“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.“

Just an AMAZING experience here - please go visit if you haven't already“

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

“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.“

“amazing ! There is nothing quite like a massive, loaded burrito where the meat is so tender it practically melts apart—definitely a meal built for two or a very serious appetite.
​What's your go-to order when you head over? Are you all about the classic carne asada, or do you mix it up with something else?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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?“

“buenísimo 👍lo recomiendo 💯💯💯“

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

“We eat at this restaurant whenever we drive to Mountain View from San Jose. Looks like it got a facelift under the new management, with big TV, sound system and decorations. Now they bring the food to your table. We had Veggie Burrito. The price was very reasonable, the service was quick, the burrito was good size and tasted good. Gabby took our order and she brought the food to our table. She was extremely friendly; she checked with each customers to make sure they are happy with their order. The music was bit loud and she lowered it at our request. This is a good place to go if you want a quick bite, good food at a reasonable price.“

“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!“

“First time in Palo Alto. Had been at Stanford Hospital all day and we were craving tacos. Easy place to find.. Staff was friendly and the food we ordered was yummy!! The large Nachos can feed 2-3 people. As for the tacos, love a taqueria that's not skimpy on the meat! Definitely coming back! 😋“

“Speedy’s is awesome. Fresh ingredients, great tasting food. Hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant.“

“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 🤤“

“First time there Customer service was great food, accommodating, super friendly I would recommend for those to try out their delicious food“

“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.“
