Today was our first visit to this restaurant, and both my family and I were amazed not only by the delicious dishes served, but also by the excellent service. Our host, Mr. Vicente, was very professional , respectful, and with great patience and kindness, recommended menus that truly delighted our palate with the Mexican flavor. The ambiance outside was maintained with warm lights, surrounded by a typical Friday night in Palo Alto. We will definitely return to this restaurant, which we recommend 10/10. Thanks to everyone who gently attended our dinner and congratulations to the chef.

$27 Guajillo Burrito was smothered in an orange sour cream sauce and clearly tailored to the American palate. If you're looking for authentic Hispanic flavors, this isn't it. When I see 'guajillo,' I expect a rich guajillo chile sauce , not sour cream with a barely detectable hint (maybe 0.001%) infused guajillo. Furthermore, it was advertised as carne asada, not fajita-style steak. I don’t care about the price , I care about the taste, and this just didn’t deliver. I even asked the waiter for his recommendation, and this was it, which completely turned me off from ever coming back. Honestly, I nearly gagged trying to finish the burrito because of the sauce, but I was starving and had a 4-hour event nearby. Still, I tipped well because the service was good.

The food here is absolutely off the charts! I was introduced to the menu at thier other restaurant Viva Sol, and was extatic to find this second location. It is our first stop when visiting from out of town. Highly recommend.

Taqueria food trucks make much better food for a lot less.

Literally the best restaurant. My family has been going to this restaurant since I was an infant and even now, three decades later, it is the restaurant I judge all other restaurants by. Their tequila selection is outstanding, the service is great, and the Guajillo sauce (I usually get the enchiladas with this sauce) is literal perfection on a plate. It is a must every time I come back to town!

All of their food is incredible. The Tortilla Soup is one of the most incredible soups you will ever have. The staff is unbelievably friendly. I would go there as often as I could if I didn't have to worry about gaining weight with their delicious over the top food.
Came here on a whim and holy cow was the food delicious. Fresh guacamole, the mole sauce is to die for and love the selection of margaritas. This is one of the few memorable meals I have had in awhile. Definitely would revisit.

Lovely place for dinner, outdoor seating on patio to accommodate family and dog. Mole poblano with chicken is simply amazing. Vegetarian enchiladas are also nice. Fantastic selection of authentic margaritas?made it a fun evening.

Service and people great, but food is incredibly mediocre, especially for the price.

Good selection of margaritas
Came back with my kids this time.
Obviously a high-end Mexican cuisine: my kids are used to taqueria style so my son wanted a 'regular' taco not a 'super' and didn't really have a way to explain -- so his mom ate his super and and his sister ordered a "taco, just corn tortilla shell and meat, nothing else..." -- and she sushed me when I tried to say to the waiter, she means a 'regular ta... '
Good times. Ordered another tequila -- pretty good selection.
