“By far the best Mexican food you will ever eat. The menu is filled with dishes new to me yet also has some classics. This is true Mexico City fare at its best. The cocktails are creative and fresh with house made purées and syrups. I will be back many times!”

“We can’t go more than 2 weeks without eating their elote ribs….the chili, lime, nut sauce is sooo good. We love to take out-of-towners here because it’s different, delicious, and relatively healthy. It’s family run, and everyone who works there is super friendly and accommodating. Even our kids love it. In fact, my daughter requested the elote ribs and the potato taquitos as her birthday dinner this year!”

“Been eating menudo since I was a kid. My grandma owned the original Otaez in Oakland and used to have a line out the door for her menudo, so I know good menudo. This spot in Redwood City is legit. Bomb-ass menudo, birria, and fresh tortillas too. 🔥”

“I go here specifically for the fish tacos which are excellent! The vibe is casual dining, the cost is a little pricey, but for the location and the times we live in that's to be expected. They also give you chips and have a salsa bar for added value.”

“I was doing my laundry next door and wandered over to see the menu. Chilaquiles being my most favorite healthy food in the universe, I consider myself a connessueir of saucy chips. Aside from my delicious chilaquiles, the atmosphere on this very hot day was cool and inviting inside. The walls were painted a beautiful dappled orange and the art on those walls was cheerful and tropical. I wished to be transported back to Nayarit as sipped the most cold delicious sweet red drink that I can never spell or pronounce properly. Mexican restaurants might shy away from making very pale, very awkward people like myself as spicy as they normally prepare dishes like Chilaquiles, so I do use a generous dousing of Tapatio on mine, but aside from that the dish was absolutely perfect. The cashier was extremely forgiving of my clumsy attempt at ordering in Spanish and I was so grateful for his bit of English helping me along. 5 stars. I will do laundry next door and eat Chilaquiles here again and again!”

“The Bay Area has some of the fiercest competitive markets for Americanized Mexican food in the world. Of the many fine burrito-centric establishments I have tried here, Alva's is one of the best. In other words, you can step up to a truck and minutes later be enjoying literally one of the best burritos in the world. Truly a silver lining of the modern world. Bonus: Quesabirria and churros on demand.”

“El Grullense is the spot for tacos in the Bay Area! Super easy to pick up to-go or eat at the gas station lot. This location was quick and convenient! I ordered 4 different tacos and they were incredible. My favorites were the steak and carnitas! First off, the price is good and they load up the tacos with meat and extra pickled vegetables. There are many locations for a reason! I would definitely come back to try a burrito next time. Ps. Careful when eating there because the birds are waiting to pick up your crumbs.”

“The food is to DIE FOR. The tacos are so tasty with the salsa. The salsa gives some spice. You have to have every topping on it. Tastes like heaven. And the horchata delish. You can taste the cinnamon and the sugar. Put that together with the tacos. A perfect meal. Even though the outside looks a little sketchy. All of the food places that have a sketchy outside has great food. Really good place come here soon”

“Located in a very small "strip mall" type location so I think some people may not give this place much consideration. But... I decided after a decade of living locally to go in and get a taco plate. The atmosphere is not the greatest but the food is amazing! And the portions are HUGE. I was able to get 3 meals out of one $15 plate there. Great flavor, perfect amount of hot sauces, they even put a giant jalapeno on top. I highly recommend. They also serve Breakfast.”

“Anything that you order here will be freshly made and scrumptious. The burritos and tacos are excellent, but I suggest trying some of the owner's favorite hometown dishes, such as the amazing Oaxacan Tlayuda or the Michoacan Enchiladas! Don't forget to get your churros, too. You'll be sad if you leave without them!”

The beef is like a crispy beef jerky texture. I had a language barrier when ordering so just point what you want on the menu.”

“Huge super burrito carnitas- super flavorful, authentic, delicious. I ordered mine without rice, no problem. The Jamaica is not too sweet- just perfect. Love that authentic Mexican food has taken over a former taco bell! They have parking, too. Highly recommended.”

“Had my very first pupusa in my life and loved it. Although it doesn't look sexy delicious, it tastes great especially with the toasty crunchy cheese underneath. Someone recommended Karlita's along Woodside in Redwood City and they do a pupusa good! Takes about 10 minutes to make as they cook it fresh after ordering. Costs about 5.50. I suggest the pork and cheese and add jalapeno to you pupusa for some added kick.”

“Love this place. Honestly, they screwed up my order and gave me some Carnitas Nachos which I cannot eat, but I gave to someone else they loved it. They were able to replace my meal and provide me Shrimp Nachos. I really appreciate their prompt service and I’ve been eating here since 2020 and I will not choose to go to another truck unless I cross the bridge over to East Bay. Thank you. Yumm!!”
