We had all vegetarian food and every item was well prepared and delicious. The food quality has dramatically improved. Jefferson who serviced us was polite and efficient. The chef made special efforts to accommodate my friend who is allergic to onions,mushrooms and garlic. Compared to over a year or more ago, when our experience was not good, we are glad we tried it again.

Service was rushed and they kept trying to clear our plates before we were finished. Seems like they are focused on turning over tables.

The new inspired menu is amazing! Absolutely delicious options and fabulous service. Always a favorite and now my only go-to lunch spot in PA. So fun to sit at the open windows. Bravo!

We had a fantastic meal, starting with their chips and guac. Warm, fresh tortilla chips, fresh, flavorful guacamole with three different salsas. There were 5 of us, including a 6 year old who got his own menu of choices.
I had the hanger steak, perfectly prepared, with a delicious stuffed pepper, others enjoyed the Seafood crepe. Our servers were attentive but not intrusive, everything we wanted was available and nearly immediate.
We will be back, there are several menu items that require exploring. Enjoy!

The WORST!!!!
I remember coming here a decade ago and really enjoying the food at Reposado. I don't expect it to be around much longer because the food was inedible and the restaurant was just about empty except for my table.
As you walk in, you can see several 'best of Palo Alto Weekly' awards... from 2011 and 2012. That kind of tells the full story right there.
The prices are very high. Expect to spend $60 on an appetizer and entre. If you add a margarita or two expect the price to be around $100. This is highway robbery because the guacamole is so bad, I can't even find the words to describe the atrocity they serve up.
I tried to get my table to leave when we got the guac that was not guac. But instead they doubled down and ordered drinks and entrees. WOW! the margaritas were syrupy glop, the coke that they served was basically colored fizzy water (no syrup in the coke), and the entrees were in my opinion not fit to serve.
I have not had a meal this bad in a long time and the cost made this meal a real slap in the face.
I look forwards to seeing what comes next at this location... maybe there will be a nice coffee shop like the one Reposado replaced 1.5 decades ago.

Hello, my name is Ana, we are from Mexico City. We are restaurateurs. We have several authentic Mexican food businesses. We came to visit my daughter in Palo Alto and she brought us to eat at a restaurant called Reposado. The menu says authentic Mexican food, but let me tell you, you are mistaken. It's false. You don't know what they are doing. They are mixing Italian ingredients with Asian ingredients, pronouncing French names in the type of food they are making. I think that is not correct because authentic Mexican food must use Mexican ingredients. It's fine to want to make gourmet dishes, but as long as the menu is authentic Mexican food, everything is handmade, which is incorrect. We left disappointed. Some enchiladas for $30 are completely ridiculous. A Guachinango ceviche. I won't tell you how it was because you will be scared. I do not recommend this place.

Reposado in Palo Alto is my absolute go to for Mexican food. I’ve been here so many times, and it never disappoints. The drinks are always spot-on, the food is full of flavor, and the vibe is just perfect. No matter when I come, I know I’m going to leave happy.

It's is good but a little bit expensive Highly recommended the pork belly appetizers
Modern Mexican fare with a good selection of cocktails, appetizers and main courses. Good presentation and generous portion. Tried the ceviches and chicken mole, both were delicious. Ended up sharing dessert since we were getting too full ...

Great food! We stayed in the hotel across the street for a week. We ate at many different places but kept coming back here. My wife kept trying to customize the dishes by asking for things on the side and then said “I should have just eaten it as is!” She liked the flour tortillas better than the corn, but liked the refried black beans better than the whole, which is usual for her. I was impressed that the corn was a non-GMO variety. This place is definitely going on our list of places to come back to next time.

Always enjoy visiting Reposado! The staff is super friendly and attentive. The drinks are phenomenal. Service can get slower towards the busy part of the evening but it’s never enough to stop me from coming back! The upside down cake dessert is a 15/10, I have to get one everytime!
