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“

“It's a food truck which I didn't realize until I got there. But totally worth it.

Truly amazing food and salsas. Specifically, the food tasted fresh and natural. It's not just a bunch of salty, greasy ingredients thrown together - this place uses a lot of fresh variety of meats and vegetables. Home made tortillas too.

Eating in my car was not part of my original plan, but I'll do it anytime to to eat here. The food here really stands out, I'm excited to eat here again.“

“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.“

“delicious tacos and friendly staff. ☺️“

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

“Great tacos al pastor in town 👍🏻😋“

“Owner is very nice service is great! 7 hours later I’m not sick. I love tacos and I am in a mission finding good tacos in San Mateo county but this is not it. I’m so sorry. I think the reason most people like it and this has good reviews is just because they’re so starving waiting at DMV I am a very honest reviewer. Here are my reasons why…
- the salsa is not spicy
- the salsa is very thick
- the salsa was slimy
- the meat taste spoiled
- my daughter didn’t like it lol

Positive the tortilla was good owner was nice and didn’t get sick
:/ I’m hungry still“

“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!“

“Hidden gem on El Camino! I stopped by S El Camino Taqueria on a whim and was shocked the place was empty—this spot deserves way more traffic.

I had the carne asada burrito and every single bite was on point. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled—no weird chewy pieces or filler, just quality carne asada. The ingredients tasted super fresh and well-balanced, like they actually care about what they’re serving.

Bonus points for the salsa bar—especially the avocado salsa verde. Creamy, tangy, a little spicy, and absolutely addictive. I could’ve put that on everything.

Will definitely be back. This place is seriously underrated.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“excelencia en carnes todo muy ordenado“

“caldo de res delicioso. wooo Diosbles diga bendiciendo su negocio siempre siempre buscaba un buen caldo y lo encontré aquiii.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Food...it's absolutely delicious! Among our Favorites are the Quesa-Birria!!! Yum! A unique country flavor, w cheese melting...the Pozole, Birria, and Menudo run out each and Every weekend! Fir the good Abd bad, as too many times, we arrive too late! Lol“

“Gave a 4 only because they forgot to give me the chips and salsa I ridiculously paid $7.48 for and then had to get refunded through door dash today . but ..... as a taco lover, the concept of the tacos they presented me with was absolutely a 5 star. brilliant. delicious. the meat tender, marinated well and presented with perfection. this was definitely an extraordinary experience and I'm definitely ordering here again. if they can see this I appreciate the love and quality of the food. great job?“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Fish and chips are awesome. Shrimp skewer is delicious. Good value for the price.“

“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“

“My favorite dinner is barbecued pork ribs and baked beans from Capelo's. I've been to St. Louis and other so-called barbecue restaurants in the Bay Area, but none compete with the ribs that Castro and the boys offer on a daily basis. I don't know how they do it, but for me, the meat tells the story and one doesn't need either of the several sauces they provide.
Their online ordering is straight-forward, their prices are excellent, and I have been the beneficiary of party ordering from offspring in Arizona.
And by the way, parking is rarely an issue !
