“este es lo mejor de lo que probado la recomiendo por editor de facebook el bagabundo i ueces el cobi 19 i Rigoberto Muñoz ochoa ide las páginas del amor de mi vid“

“Delicious! I had a super burrito asada which was very flavorful. My wife had pigs ear and beef tongue tacos which she enjoyed even more than my burrito. Excellent salsas, pickled jalapeños, carrots and red onions.
No place to sit, so we grabbed our order and went to a nearby park.“

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

“I've been coming here for twenty years!! Always the best food , best staff , drinks and perfect location DT Mountain View. Love this spot! #highlyrecommend“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food at reasonable prices..great selection..friendly folks..“

“Astoundingly delicious and gigantic Shrimp burrito (with generous shrimps!), perfectly hot and fresh thick-cut fries, and super friendly service. At $20 flat all-in with a drink, can’t beat the value. Yummy mild burrito side sauce too. Zero complaints, I’ll be going back!“

“great 👍 love grandma's special been going there for years!“

“Amazing shrimp quesidilla highly recommend this fabulous place on Castro St Mountain View“

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

“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.“

“The food was great. I bought 2 burritos. This is the only place that actually has real chile verde.
Best prices for their burritos too.

Other restaurants have chili verde but it has ingredients that are not traditional like nopal or ground up peanuts.

They were very friendly and nice. The place was clean. I will definitely be back again. It's a matter of fact, I go there regularly. They are very nice people and very good food.“

“The food was so good.

My husband and I made a quick lunch stop here and we weren’t sure what to order. He is vegetarian and I’m not. The owner was very sweet and accommodating. She offered us a couple of choices on and off menu so we could enjoy her food. It did not disappoint. Everything was flavorful and reminded us of our time in Mexico. We’ll definitely be back and maybe even bring some friends with us too. 😊“

“An interesting place to stop for lunch if you’re at Moffet Field. And it has a dog friend patio. The bar was closed on the Wednesday we went, but the grill was open.
This was apparently the former Officers Club building and sits across from the looming Hangar One.
Both the patty melt and Philly cheesesteak were tasty.
Don’t miss the Moffet Field Museum across the street.“

“Vengan a probar la comida en este lugar es muy rica fresca sabor como echa en casa muy recomendable“

“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!“

“Food truck right off El Camino which was parked near a slightly sus liquor store. The food came out very fast, but they did forget the extra grilled onions for my friends burrito. We got the Chez burrito - the meat was delicious and cooked inna way that made it feel caramelized almost. It is very filling too, and I was stuffed on half. My friend got the veggie quesadillas and liked it. Overall, it wasnt the best food I’ve ever had, but it was a solid choice.“

“De los mejores restaurantes…nomas con el ceviche de camarón necesitan poner mas atención lo cirven con todo y caca 💩 que trae el camarón alomejor ay gente que le guste así pero en mi caso 👎🏻 no…“

“Saturday afternoon, the place was packed. Location next door to the church and right at the corner of a busy intersection I'm certain help. But the food was very good also. I had the pupusas was a side of beans and rice. All very very good.“

“excelencia en carnes todo muy ordenado“

“Pupusas were amazing --they give you a side dish and a sauce so that each bite is flavorful. We ordered the quesadillas gus and the pollo guisado--The portions were huge, especially the pollo guisado, though the quesadillas with the fries/baked outer shell and all the works inside (chicken, lettuce, sour cream, spicy red salsa) were better than the pollo guisado, which apparently just tasted like regular chicken. They mixed up our receipts though the end result would be roughly the same anyway, and the servers were friendly though some speak limited English (they will bring someone who understands more English out if necessary). Atmosphere and lighting were both very cool!“

“If you like dancing to Latin music then you’ll enjoy this place. There’s a second floor with a smaller dance floor and bar. The bottom floor is where the live banda will play. It’s crazy loud but that’s what the people love 🤷🏻‍♀️ they have a coat check and bathrooms are clean. I saw reviews talking about dirty floors and bathrooms. At 11pm everything was still clean but at 11pm is when the crowds start flooding in. Dirty floors wouldn’t be a shocker on a busy Saturday night full of drunk people. Workers are friendly but if you’re drunk and rude I’m sure they won’t deal with it. Drink prices are the same as any other bar/club. Overall I would go back
Sundays there’s a discount on the cover charge before 10:30pm if you follow them on social media but keep in mind the “party” won’t start till a bit after 11pm

Parking: There’s a parking lot right behind the location and a short walk to the front of the building“

“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.“

“You can press the button to order and swipe your card, which is very convenient. Each meal has a photo and calorie reference. You can also choose to add or subtract dishes or sauces (some require an extra price and some don't). After ordering, the receipt is an electronic file and is not drawn out. You have to wait at the counter. Calling for meals is suitable for people who don't want to talk much. I ordered a crispy + soft crust pancake with more than two pieces. The small portion is just right for breakfast. It tastes refreshing and smooth without the sauce and vegetables.“
