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“

“I’ve bought from here many times！it’s arguably the best Mexican food in the area. Whether it’s the tacos or the burritos, everything is incredibly delicious—far better than your average Mexican spot.“

“The food was delicious, authentic in flavor, and well served. The service was outstanding: punctual, friendly, and very attentive at all times. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity they provide.
Without a doubt, I highly recommend Taquizas Jalisco and would definitely hire them again for any event. Thank you for making our celebration special! 🎉🌮“

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

“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. ☺️“

“Great tacos al pastor in town 👍🏻😋“

“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!“

“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“

“We've been coming here every Sunday for about 2 years. Their quality is extremely consistent. Excellent Al Pastor and chorizo. They are quick and have very reasonable pricing. The friendliest staff. We will keep coming as long as we live here!
Street parking out front is competitive, but there is ample parking in the back around the block.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“The gentleman had amazing customer service and the food was delicious 🤤 super burrito 🌯 was 💣 and the tacos were on point 🔥 the area was a little interesting but overall the visit was great and for future appointments at the Stanford specialty clinics, we'll definitely be returning“

“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“

“This is the place I recommend to friends if they want tacos and the place we take visitors from outside of California to get tacos. Good traditional cuisine that stays busy, is priced reasonably, and has great salsa selections. We usually get multiples of the 8-taco plate“

“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.“

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

“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“

“The bbq scene here is rough - so when a friend recommended this place I was excited. It was a drive from San Jose but totally worth it!

The beer selection is amazing! They have around 14 talks and I huge cooler with more in cans! The bartender was great with asking questions and offering up some samples. The outdoor area was very nice and there was live music.

Now the food - holy cow the brisket was the bomb! So tender and juicy. The potato salad side was also amazing - too often a place will have killer meat but garbage sides (or vice versa). My only complaint was the corn muffin was dry. But that's such a silly quibble.“

“Rico todo , buen servicio“

“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.“
