“The bistek asado. omg! soooo tender. we ordered it medium. it was perfect. We also ordered the pollo rostisado con mole. it was tender and tasty. Thank you for accommodating us with no reservations. make reservations. place gets packed quick.“

“A good Mexican restaurant which has a large portions. They also have chips & salsa with unlimited refills. The food is kind of hit and miss. I tried fajitas, molcajete, shrimp cocktail, enchiladas & Celia's sampler. The shrimp cocktail was delicious and enchiladas & fajitas seemed decent. I did not like the appetizers.“

“The food is delicious. The sauces really stand out here at Palo Alto Sol. See my review at EssentialPaloAltoRestaurants.com“

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

“First time in Palo Alto. Had been at Stanford Hospital all day and we were craving tacos. Easy place to find.. Staff was friendly and the food we ordered was yummy!! The large Nachos can feed 2-3 people. As for the tacos, love a taqueria that's not skimpy on the meat! Definitely coming back! 😋“

“Hello if anyone somehow stumbled by this website because they want to check out Como Esta taqueria I have some answers. A relative is a worker there and I spent a summer there (If you saw a 6 year old cleaning tables a bit less than a decade ago - yup that was me, I appreciate the tips I was a very happy kid that summer). Regarding the comment of that they don’t sell beer there, they do but its limited to maybe 3 brands (all Mexican ). It’s definitely a place you should go in person! The space is small, but there is a few tables outside, and it has a homey vibe (at least to me). Since I spent so much time there - you guessed it I’ve tried some of the menu, the reason I don’t say most it’s because there’s way to much to cover and I’m a bit biased to my favorites. This includes: the fish tacos, regular burrito mojado the meat has to be Biiria, any burrito at that fact,and the tacos are good. I can say everything is authentic unless you add super to the name then that’s just for the people who think sour cream and lettuce should be in your burrito ? . ( no judgement) the salsa is flavorful ,but not spicy you have to ask for it to be spicy. Now without offending anyone I have to say the reson why the salsa isn’t spicy is because most people who visit can handle spice except a certain group of people. I know most of the workers and they all are very nice people. What some of the negative comments have said is that they were laughing at them and that they were disrespectful, I have to say this if you don’t understand the language don’t be quick to judge , take in consideration you walked into a taqueria not a predominately English speaking restaurant. I know that if you are a regular there they treat you like close friends and may tease you , but at the same time ask how have you been since your last visit. (Not to say new costumers aren’t welcome , but it’s kinda of the energy and attitude you put in , will be the one you get)I even know a grandpa that goes by “Tio “ uncle in English because that’s there nickname for him. If you are still here with me , (I hope you are )I have one last final comment. Everyone has bad days no one is perfect, and trust me they have good hygiene the manager and my relative make sure while they do switch roles multitasking , everything is sanitary. I can say this because I’ve been harshly scolded on how I should wipe tables , and a few years later, how I washed dishes. Another reson why you should trust me is because a few workers have a bit of OCD on clean things and how should it be done. (Imagine how I feel, I live with one). If you ever visit please say thanks to the workers since some have had bad chemical burns, normal burns, cuts, and sprained hands while trying to give you the best service possible!“

“There are two important reasons to go here: fish tacos.“

“By far was this is the best Mexican food I've ever had. A bit on the pricey side, but well worth it!“

“Had a pickup order and the experience was good. Food was prepared on time. Quality was good as well. Seating area was ample with clean tables and salsa bar. Parking was a bit short in the complex during dinner time. I would recommend this location.“

“Lulu's is our go-to spot for our "taco" Tuesdays (even though I normally get a burrito instead of tacos). I am a simple creature and find great comfort in a really good bean & cheese burrito. My favorite spot is down in LA and Lulu's is the first place in Northern California that has been consistently delectable.

Their green salsa is great too! Yum.

I've had their enchiladas and nachos too and have never been disappointed.

Service is polite and as efficient as possible.“

“I came here for a school field trip. The trip was amazing and super fun. Basically we tested their new robot system, and it was really cool. After we finished, we fought each other (the other kids). Also, the cafeteria was great, the “vending machines” were well stocked, and overall I had a great time. I wish I could go back and relive that day.“

“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.“

“It is still a good store to fill your groceries and first class staff, but my complaint is with the bread that they carry in a bag, it is already disgusting since the bread sweats and sticks, they put bread that you don't want but now It comes in the bag. I think the owner should ask them to stop packaging the bread. Still excellent store.“

“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 ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Love the 7 dollar craving box .
You can switch the nachos or whatever else for some twistys also good .
And remember to ask for beef or steak because they always serve you the chicken chulipa if you don't ask idk why that's just how they do it.“
