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

“delicious tacos and friendly staff. ☺️“

“Wonderful customer service. Friendly and fast. This charming nostalgic diner caters to classic American comfort foods.“

“This is a hole in the wall kinda place, off the Main Street surrounded by condos. There used to be a place that sold these massive wet burritos that my whole family loved so I figured I give this place a try. I have to say at first I thought the tacos were a bit pricy at first but then I saw how much meat they give you it’s massive and they were seasoned well. I have to say I was impressed not the best tacos I’ve had but they give you a satisfying amount and it will leave you full rather than filling like you want more. They have good customer service here too, the cashier was nice and polite. I’ll most definitely come back to try other items off their menu like their birria tacos and a wet burrito.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food! I go here twice a week probably and they even remember my name now. It’s all really good so I switch it up. The buche is unusual so I like to get that and it’s very fresh . Very nice people and clean. My go to is 4 Asada tacos with a chile on the side. You won’t regret making this place a new favorite.“

“Acabo de pasar a la lonchera, la orizabeña Comparando a la ORIZABEÑA con la comida de mi ciudad, SÍ es más rica, y el personal amable. 👍“

“Rico todo , buen servicio“

“I hired El Rey Del Taco Catering for my daughter’s sweet sixteen party last night and they did NOT disappoint! The food was amazing. Great service. Everything made fresh. My guests left full and with happy tummies. Will hire again in the future and would absolutely recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place is actually underrated! The burrito bowl is delicious and I've seen other dishes that looked tasty. Also I think google need to recreate the star rating because if the food is delicious but I didn't like how the bathroom didn't have hand soup. The restaurant doesn't deserve 1 star for that. I'm reading reviews for 1 &2 stars and I'm going that's not 1 or 2 star worthy. That's petty“

“I really REALLY recommend this place for family and friends the food is AMAZING ever since I tried the tacos I could not stop going here every day. The service is ok there in the middle for fast food because sometimes they have to many orders and they go really slow but over all it’s great . The atmosphere needs a little more decor kinda boring just seeing a table and you food.“

“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.“

“It’s yummy The Sopes are really really good and mom keeps ordering the Enchiladas Verdes de pollo“

“It was a great dinner. We took another couple out for my birthday. The friends mentioned that it was my birthday and the waiter said that merited a free bowl. I was going to order the ahi tuna bowl anyway, so my bountiful and delicious bowl was free. I also had points because I am a rewards member. We had a free appetizer of calamari. And I was given a free birthday dessert. I wasn't counting on any of that, but the gifts were very much appreciated and makes me even more eager to keep coming back to Pacific Catch in Mountain View. Everyone else's dinner was also delish, the fish and chips and salmon sandwich. My husband and friends offered me bites. Natalie Bivas“

“Great taco in oc and cheap. And they have so many other thing and platos if you know what that is check it out if your over by thier worth the stop“

“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.“

“Been going here with coworkers for some time now. Especially on taco Tuesdays. They have $1.50 tacos on that day and the meat and flavor is exceptional. I've tried all variations and they're all excellent. Tripia is my fav but all are good and you can definitely over do it since they're so cheap.“

“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.“

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

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

“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 ☆☆☆☆☆“

“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.“

“Consistent and delicious.“

“I eat at Tacos El Agua Dulce at least twice a week. The women and men on the taco truck are always friendly and attentive. The salsa is garden fresh, spicy and delicious. If you like spicy salsa/chile like I do, pay .50 for a side of the aguacate salsa!!!! I personally pay for 3!!! My top recommendation, are the Al Pastor tacos!! They're juicy, tender, not salty. The tortillas are hot and fresh right off the comal!!! Most Importantly, the food and costumer service is consistently good no matter where they are parked for the day. They're on Knickerbocker during the day, and across the street from the Safeway gas station on Pacific Ave. during the evening/night time. Highly recommended and you will not be disappointed.“

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

“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.“

“I got a super burrito with grilled chicken. Size of the burrito was big, ingredients aside from the meat were delicious. However, I ordered grilled chicken and the chicken had absolutely no char, the texture felt like it was boiled and didn’t have an marinade or seasoning on or inside of the chicken.“

“My mother-n-law got us hooked to this spot it’s absolutely my favorite place to get burritos“

“The cashier guy served us very well because it was our first time to there. He gave us 3 different samples of Mexican drinks to try while he was not busy. The food was juicy and seasoned. We saw many customers came in even it was just a normal Thursday. Strongly recommended! Definitely would be back!“

“I have gone to this pizzeria for years and have always been pleased with my orders as well as the wings. Hand made and is flexible with orders. Store owners are very kind, 100% recommend.I've been going to this pizzeria for years and the pizza always comes out tasty. The food is handmade and they are flexible with orders. The owners are very friendly, I recommend 100%.“

“I've been going to The Mexican for years. The food was top notch with an awesome tequila bar. I went in last Saturday, Dec. 21st, 2024 at 5pm and it was empty. That in itself seemed strange. We got seated. No water. No Chips and Salsa. We received menus and that was why it was empty. You're paying for everything at 25% to 45% more than before with many meals and all Combinations GONE. To get a Taco, an Enchilada with Rice and Beans was $38... That's INSANE... We walked out and sadly will never return... He's the same reason Buffalo Bills was a ghost town at 430pm on a Saturday. Went there the day before and it's the same - prices 25% to 50% higher. Out of 3 popular beers. No milk. Menu changes for the worse. Miss Bill and the good food and great atmosphere that used to be since 1983. Another spot I'll never go back to...“

“Food is delicious, lots a options to drink worth coming!!!❤❤❤“

“Altamente recomendable para todo tipo de eventos. La comida está súper rica, el servicio es muy completo y el trato hacia los comensales es de primera.“

“I discovered this great gem of a bar during the final Hayward B street block party of the season! The owner was very friendly & the bar tender was amazing! She was working so hard because it was super busy. I ordered the Lemon Pepper Chicken wings & they were the best I'd ever had. YUM!! They took awhile to come but as I said they were super busy at the time, but they were well worth the wait. Come on down to Blue Crown Bar & Bistro!!“

“Lord have mercy. I had tacos de pollo (chicken) & asada (beef), it was so fire! their sauce is really good and the meats are very tender ?? I came here 3 years ago without knowing about it and forgot where the truck was located. saw it passing by one day had to make my way back. this is a must go for tacos ?“

“This spot is definitely one of the best around! The drive-thru moves smoothly, even during those late-night cravings. Every time I’ve come through, the customer service has been top-notch, friendly and efficient. As for the food, it’s always been on point. Never once had to return anything or toss it out,
now that’s saying something!“

“Went to try out the Carne Asada fries. Cashier was very accommodating. Allowed me to do my modifications. The guacamole is a bit spicy. But nothing out of the ordinary. Ambience is kinda off because it’s right outside of a liquor store with a bunch of would look like gang members to be hanging out front. But they don’t seem to bother anyone. would probably buy again.“

“Excelente trabajo muy limpio y profesional“

“Ordered some wings (garlic soy) and plain with a couple of hot sauces, bulgogi fries, and the gangjung. I enjoyed most of the choices but found that the unsauced wings with dipping sauces were better than the others which were a bit too sweet. Chicken was nice and crunchy while not being too dry. The gangjung was solid. The bulgogi fries were straight fire though damn. We ordered eggs with our fries because eggs, and while they added to the fries, we wish they were runny eggs rather than fried to hard yolks, it definitely would be better as such.“

“Very good food, nice people and the restaurant was clean! Good job, Buddies ��“
