50 Best Taco Restaurants near Los Altos

“I got a plain taco for my dog ,a burrito for my wife and a torta de milanesa for myself. When I saw the tacos where made with fresh handmade tortillas I had to take a bite before feeding it to my dog. The milanesa was also very good. My wife enjoyed the burrito. I would have preferred the torta have beans instead of the mayo based sauce, but it was still delicious. 5/5 would recommend. Paid about 40 bucks including tip.“

“I can’t believe how delicious the food is here!! And the owner is an amazing guy! I found this place out of pure luck, and this week I came to here 3 times already. I tried breakfast burrito(x2) and super quesadilla. Both were amazing. Can’t wait to try more!“

“Les recomiendo las tortas y las quesavirrias buen servicio y atencion“

“We hired Taquizas Tacos for a 50 person graduation party. Norberto was very responsive and professional. The food was fantastic! We had them prepare quesadillas at the beginning of the party to pass as appetizers. The tacos were delicious and they have a bunch of accompaniments, including 4 different salsas, chips and taco toppings. They arrived early to set up, and did a wonderful job. Almost all party goers had seconds, and even thirds.“

“So good, high-quality, and fresh. I ordered two steak burritos with everything. The salsas are insanely delicious and spicy. The steak has an almost Argentinian asado fire-pit-style flavor. I love it. I loved the sweet, grilled onions and Serrano peppers that came as a side. Thank you guys for committing to making a great meal.“

“Get the Diablo Chicken! You won’t regret it. Not too spicy but super savory!“

“delicious tacos and friendly staff. ☺️“

“Great tacos al pastor in town 👍🏻😋“

“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 this place so much, I cone very often, especially when I work full shifts because my job is very close to the point I just walk to it.
Every time, no matter the circumstances food is great and so is the service.
On Tuesday I called for a pickup order at 3:05 and without any hesitation they filled it and had it ready so fast, food was warm and just delicious. They close at 3:30 so they could have easily told me no, or just could have been not the happiest, but the complete opposite! They are always happy, very friendly as well. I love this truck so much, and you guys are very genuine, humble people. Thank you for always making a great meal, and keeping a smile on your face! You guys are the best! Have a good day :)

Btw I have not had a bad meal at all here! Everything is so good!“

“Teleported. Now I’m in Mexico. She’s making a tortilla for me live. They are hot. They are fresh. That’s the kind of service that leapfrogs the tier and dollar sign that this place is. Ordered a carnitas burrito and a carnitas super plate. Both were amazing. Fed two adults and three kids. There is so much meat. I highly recommend this place as the best taco in the Menlo Park Palo Alto area.“

“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?“

“I drive by here all the time and I always see a huge line and today I happen to catch them when they had a very short wait time. Impulsively I decided to stop and wait and I’m so happy I did. The food was great.. five stars out of five stars. I am impressed.“

“Had the best quesabirria of my life at Birrieria y Taqueria La Gran Señora.
The meat was insanely flavorful and juicy, the consommé was rich and packed with flavor, and the cheese pull was perfect. Every bite tasted fresh and made with care. Easily one of the best birria spots I’ve tried, definitely worth coming back for“

“Get the Diablo Chicken! You won’t regret it. Not too spicy but super savory!“

“Absolutely delicious food. Daniel knows how to make the most flavorful, juicy, and authentic tacos I've had. It's a food truck parked on Woodside Road next to the Safeway parking lot. The Crispy Barbacoa tacos are to die for. They're served with fresh salsas and consome to dip your tacos into. Support this restaurant and enjoy.“

“excelente servicio y buena comida!“

“These were some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. I had just gone to Mexico City a month ago and these were right up there with my favorites there, at Tacos El Betin. The most-orders: cabeza, tripas, and buche. The proteins were perfectly cooked, crunchy on the outside, fatty on the inside. The green salsa was fantastic like other reviewers have mentioned.Be sure to get there earlier if you can because there’s a bit of a line. But don’t let it throw you off if there’s a line because they move quickly. There’s a table and some shade next to the truck as well. You can’t go wrong coming here.“

“Just my luck of a day ! Was passing by to go grab a bite to eat somewhere when I saw they had the food I was craving🤗 of course we had to stop by and ordered Tacos, Torta, and super burrito of Lengua 'cow tongue' all the meats where delicious but my very best is tripas and pastor!! 10/10 recommend !!! And their iced coffee just made it the best meal ever!! Will defenitly be stopping by more often .. come and stop by at El Chilango food truck!!“

“I stopped by this food truck one evening for dinner, and as a big taco lover, I try to visit taco trucks or taquerias whenever I can. This truck is located in a gas-station parking lot—actually a fairly large, open space—and the overall setup felt tidy and well maintained.

One thing that gave me slight pause was the salsa and garnishes (lime, cucumber, radish) being kept uncovered and placed close to the road, with cars constantly passing by. I’m not entirely sure about the food-safety aspect there. That said, the truck itself looked clean and organized.

I ordered four tacos—two al pastor (my all-time favorite) and two chorizo. The tacos were served quickly, and I could see the rotating spit for the al pastor, which is always a good sign. The tortillas were proper corn tortillas, and the tacos came with grilled onions and jalapeños on the side. Everything tasted good and satisfying.

They also offer other items like tortas and more, but for me, tacos are always the first choice. While these weren’t the absolute best tacos I’ve ever had, they were still very enjoyable. My standards are admittedly high since I’ve eaten street tacos in Mexico City, so take that into account.

That said, this is a solid taco spot, and I’d definitely recommend stopping by—especially for the al pastor.“

“excelencia en carnes todo muy ordenado“

“Husband craving a burrito but saw fish instead. Mojarra Frita. It was a fried tilapia with rice and beans, side salad and tortillas. It was large enough for us to share and make 5 tacos. The condiments at the bar made it even more flavorful along with chips and salsa. A nice lunch reminiscent of a recent Baja trip.“

“Probably the best carne asada taco I’ve had in my life, meat was cooked perfectly and complemented well with their green sauce. The al pastor was also good they make it fresh with their own trompo! Good prices and quick service. Good place to go for a quick lunch and have some takeout food for the office.“

“Is a nice looking a little street food cart. Plenty of parking. Food is great, I have to wait a while but at the end is worth, everything is made while you ordered, so I have to wait a little bit more. Ceviche tostada it was perfect, huarache it was very good made with fresh dough, not frozen and oily. They also serve tacos with homemade tortilla, burritos and quesabirrias. If you looking for real fresh street mexican food, I highly recommend this place. Price is in range.“

“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.“

“I recommend Tacos Y MARISCOS El GORDO because of their yummy delicious SHRIMP tacos are my favorite plus I’ve had their Quesadilla and Mexican style shrimp cocktail… I like the fact that their children whom are teenagers work part time whom are polite and friendly like their parents“

“I ordered the California burrito (to go) and was blown away by how tasty it was. It was a generous portion of food, kept well on the drive home, and was everything I wanted. It came with a small bag of chips and some hot salsa that I also enjoyed. I will be back.“

“Best taco truck in Mountain View. I love their al pastor tacos and my wife loves their carne asada burrito. Delicious salsas go well on both, they have options to choose from on the outside of the truck.

Price is what you’d expect from a bay area taco truck.

There’s no seating and it’s obviously best while hot! But there’s plenty of parking so you can eat in your car!“

“Had to work around the area so i looked around for a quick bite & came across this place. Let me tell you that every bite i took was just so full of flavor & you can tell everything is cooked fresh. Something you dont come across often. Lots of taco trucks could be hit or miss but this one definitely hit the spot. Will be coming back!“

“We’ve been here a few times and each time, our food is delicious. On this June 6, 2026 day, I had the 1 meat bowl which included the smoked chicken and the baked beans.I devoured every bit. Both were so delicious. My husband inhaled his brisket sandwich and my son surprisingly finished his chicken tacos. We even got a greeting from the owner. 😊 We ate outside this time, but the ambiance is good whether we sit in or out. I highly recommend that you try this place if you haven’t already.“

“Great tasting tacos, enchiladas, burritos - and excellent value. Pastor, carne asada, camarones, tripas-yes, yes, yes, yes! Good, fast, friendly service. Parking can be tricky at Chevron, so park at McD's. They're only open until 5pm, so get your taco fix early.“

“Not fancy just great Mexican food done right I go from San Jose just to eat here. The best and I mean best tripa and lengua tacos in the bay. Get extra green sauce and a little red to go. And carrots and lemon. Squeeze the lemon. Hit the salsa and enjoy“

“A burrito on the level of gourmet, made-to-order with protein of choice, griddled brown. The al pastor, unique in its seasoning — a bit Middle Eastern in spice, harking to its origins.

Serving construction workers and truck drivers alike, this roadside taco truck clearly gets something right.

Just a few hundred feet from the 101-S Seaport Blvd exit, perfect for a quick pit stop while commuting.“

“Rico todo , buen servicio“

“I went there for happy hour and had a great experience. The drinks were excellent! Bartender's friendily and accommodating. The pupu platter was a pleasant surprise—it included crispy shrimp, fresh sea bass, tender ribs, and a delicious guacamole-poke dip with corn chips. I'll definitely be back!“

“I came here and ordered a kimchi raice bowl with skirt steak and brussel sprouts, there was also cucumber and as a person who hates cucumbers I can say I loved these and the brussel sprouts were absolutely delectable everything was amazing and fresh. Jesus was my server and he took very good care of me, my cup was never empty and I wasn't waiting forever to check out.“

“-Fast service.
-The food is really good, but just a little inconsistent. I ordered two identical carne asada burritos for my wife and myself, but only one had it's tortilla toasted. Bith were delicious, but toasted was definitely the winner.
-Location is smart, but there's no where to eat so I can't rate atmosphere too high.“

“Was driving by and saw this truck. Never tried it before and never heard of it! The cashier at the truck didn't speak any English and was talking to me in Spanish. I simply showed her 2 of my fingers and said, " 2 cabeza y 2 al pastor". I'll give it a try why not!10 minutes later,a plate of hot tacos came out. I paid 2 dollars per taco for a total of 8 dollars. Sat on thr bench and gobbled those delicious tacos down!Cabeza was not too dry and had right amount of aromatic flavor. Al pastor was a little bit spicy. Lots of construction workers were coming as I left. I think I will be back!“

“Went for lunch. Very fast and yummy. Will be coming back for sure.“

“El Grullense is the spot for tacos in the Bay Area! Super easy to pick up to-go or eat at the gas station lot. This location was quick and convenient! I ordered 4 different tacos and they were incredible. My favorites were the steak and carnitas! First off, the price is good and they load up the tacos with meat and extra pickled vegetables. There are many locations for a reason! I would definitely come back to try a burrito next time. Ps. Careful when eating there because the birds are waiting to pick up your crumbs.“

“Highly recommended. A great place to have comfort food. I had the best quesadilla I've ever had! A very clean place. Family operated. Can speak English and accept phone payments. The to-go containers are recyclable. Clean tables with shade to eat next to the truck. conveniently located on University Avenue next to Shell gas station. If you happen to pass the station while going toward Dumbarton Bridge 84, I highly recommend stopping by. Even if you are not hungry take it home or to work. I guarantee you will like it and come back. Very nice and friendly staff. I'm planning to try their other foods and report.“

“These tacos are super Yummy 😋 as a local I definitely recommend. The best tacos in the area🌮‼️‼️“

“You can tell the birria here was made by someone who cares about flavor and tradition. It’s not rushed, it’s not bland it’s balanced, bold, and beautifully executed. Portion sizes are great, the food comes out hot, and every bite feels intentional.
If you only order one thing from Ramo’s Food Truck, make it the birria.
It’s comforting, flavorful, and cooked with the kind of heart you rarely find.
10/10 Just incredible birria“

“The patio dining is a great option but I heard the bar calling. A seat presented itself as I approached and prompt, professional service enhanced every drop of beer, both before and after lunch.“

“This place was good, the tacos are pretty small but the price for them was not bad compared to other trucks. The service was great and the food was delicious. The chili was perfect, not too spicy, and the meat was flavorful. Overall a great place to grab a quick bite. We will definitely be back.“

“I don't eat Taco Bell as much as I like it because the nearest location is the boondocks but this location is near the library. Location, location, location. And the Santa Clara library is nicer than the Sunnyvale library. I always dine in.“

“Love the chicken pupusa! It’s my favorite food truck in Redwood City“
