Taco Restaurants near Menlo Park

“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.“

“Excelente comida! Y servicio fenomenal por rso menguta comer ahi JACK“

“Great tacos al pastor in town 👍🏻😋“

“Hands down for the best burritos and tacos of mountain view! Cheztako burrito is 10/10, there's plenty of parking, there's a liquor there too, the only negative thing is that there is no tables to eat, or at least in winter time, so you are going to have to eat inside your car.“

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

“I used to avoid this place because the parking lot was always empty, and i didn’t think it could be authentic with a name like “Tommy’s kitchen”. But boy was i wrong! Decided to come in randomly because i liked the pictures shown on the menu. I ordered the breakfast plate that comes with eggs scrambled with ham, side of beans topped with melty cheese, rice, tortillas , avocado slices, a pickled jalapeño, and grilled onions. I felt like Anton ego when he takes a bite of the ratatouille and flashes back to when his mom made him that dish. Service is great and very friendly!“

“Hole in the wall Mexican market with counter service Mexican food and fried chicken. Super clean, incredibly friendly, helpful staff, outdoor only seating with shade, fun regulars, and decent small parking lot. The store has a good selection of everything, and the menu is extensive, reasonably priced, and authentic with americanized favorites added.“

“We got takeout for dinner tonight. Very happy with this authentic taqueria! This will be our go to Mexican restaurant from now on.
Ordered 3 burritos and 2 taco plates. Amazing food! Fantastic service. Chicken was flavorful and generous. Rice was authentic (not over salted) and burritos were a delicious combination of ingredients. They offered napkins, salsa and utensils. Thank you S El Camino Taqueria! Will see you again in the coming weeks.“

“This place is awesome. The tacos are much larger than your regular $2-3 street tacos—definitely worth the current price of $4. The meats are well-cooked and flavorful. The Vampiros are definitely worth trying. Love the salsa bar and grilled onions. This place is better than most of the street food I’ve had in Mexico. Will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved the food. Wanted to have a snack but ended up having a full meal by repeatedly ordering tacos. Great veggie taco, haven’t had such a good taco anywhere else in California. The only thing I’m sad about is not being able to find this food truck last 2 3 times I’ve tried looking for it.

Vegetarian options: The veggie taco is absolutely amazing.“

“excelencia en carnes todo muy ordenado“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wonderful Brazilian parmigiana. Sabor brasileiro autêntico!“

“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.“

“Do you love going to Flavortown? How about dreaming with your eyes open? Then try these birria tacos. The first time I had it was from leftovers that my daughter brought home for lunch. Then I drove from Oakley to San Mateo to have them fresh. It was AMAZING! They provide extra stuff to add to the tacos, but it honestly didn’t need them. The meat was so tender & flavorful that I had to close my eyes so I could fully appreciate the taste. Then I added the extras one by one & it tasted like a new taco each time. I know it seems like I’m exaggerating, but it’s really that good! My only wish is that they had seating nearby & a second location closer to Oakley.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food is fresh and fairly tasty. Portion sizes are definitely on the smaller side. They should improve on portion size by about 20%+

4%
Fee for not paying in cash. Unannounced til you pay.

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

Very basic interior but clean and polite staff.

Chips and salsa are free. Very good salsa choices actually!“

“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“

“Great food! Sketchy back alley entrance but great service.“

“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.“

“I freaking love these tacos, the cabeza is on point and the service is great.

Parking: Not really a parking lot since it’s at a gas station. Either park at a pump (and get some gas so you’re not an a**hole) or there are a couple of makeshift spots by the taco truck.“

“The food is good. It's Salvadoranian style food. So instead of tortillas they give you sopes. It's like tortilla but in a thicker way hand made. I ordered the fried fish but they did not have salad dressing for the salad. I think they should buy thousand island at least ?
They do have a small bar and the clamatos look great. You may also dine outside, they have tables and chairs.“

“Can't give enough stars.
Tried to phone in an order to save time because my puppy was in the car. They said
You can bring him in.
He's not house trained yet.
It's ok, bring him in. Is he cute?
He is.
Wow, above and beyond customer service.
I sat outside at a table with Waffles, they brought him multiple bowls of water.
I interacted with 4 or 5 staff one nicer than the next, all happy the puppy was there.
In my long life I have never felt so welcomed in a restaurant.
The barbecue and sides, ALL proper.
Some nice fatty brisket, and ribs that we're great unsauced. And a variety of tasty sauces. Pickled things were perfect.
I'm a large person and their 2 meat plate is much more than I should eat, but I finished everything.
I live nowhere near Redwood City but I'm going there again.
Thanks to all of you.“

“We stumbled upon Mamacita Food Truck on our way to Trader Joe’s and decided to stop for a quick lunch. It was decent overall, but the flavors didn’t quite hit the mark. We tried the burrito, four tacos, and the shrimp taco—the shrimp taco was nice but still lacked a bit of flavor. That said, it’s a decent option for the price if you’re looking for a quick, affordable bite.“

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

“Rico todo , buen servicio“

“I can't understand why this place isn't packed.. I'm from Kentucky the prices are insanely cheap for the quality of food.. lobster roll was absolutely amazing great quality and delicious butter.. great pour on the whiskey sushi was great and of high quality.. with inflation this high place was worth every penny!!!“

“I live at the top of the road and I passed this for a year. I thought it was there because we have had a ton of construction on the road. Thought I’d give it a try… oh sweet baby Jesus I’m glad I did. The tortillas are made from SCRATCH!!!!! The meat is not grease the flavor is a chefs kiss amazing. Tacos are $3 a piece, that’s all I’ve tried but the my dying to try more. They have burritos and tortas. Def give this truck a taste you won’t be disappointed.

Parking: It’s a dirt lot“

“Was greeted & seated promptly. Welcomed by Manager Hung. Brittany was our waitress & we received the 20th Anniversary Sacks. Happy Anniversary.“

“I love that they give you a little salad with your order (slices of cucumber and radish). Very good al pastor. I've tried one of the special tortas and it was pretty impressive. Lots of rare meats on the taco menu (lengua, oja, tripas, some I did not recognize) , though I haven't tried them.“

“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“

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

“The restaurant is not big. Theirs no tables, only a countertop to eat standing up. But that's perfect when you're on the go or don't mind eating in your car. The menu is pretty basic, but the food is on point and full of flavor. If you like a little kick with your food, I suggest you add the red sauce, but the mild green sauce is just as good. Don't go too late because they do run out. Stop by and try my usual order. 2 sopes and 3 tacos with both the red and green sauce.“

“I really love California Fish Grill in Cypress for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🍽“

“They are actually open after the listed closing time but they move the truck and park near the Safeway at Delaware and Peninsula instead. They're usually there from like 6PM to 9PM I thinkThe menu only lists res, chivo, and pollo as options but they also do all the other regular taqueria meats as wellGreat food, the super burritos and super quesadillas are unbelievably gigantic 5/5“

“Great job on the hand made tortilla“

“The dude told me all about Taqueria El Grullense Restaurant, he said if you're looking for the best breakfast burrito in the world go to Taqueria El Grullense! The Chorizo is very good, but get the bacon and ask for extra bacon...It was Bombtasticly Taquerialishous! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“(Translated by Google) good prices is not so expensive everything is very healthy I recommend it to people who take great care of their food. ?(Original)buenos precios no es tan caro todo es muy sano se lo recomiendo a la gente que cuida mucho su alimentación. ?“
