“One of my favorite restaurants, ever. Always the same crew, small kitchen, small menu, satisfying food. I love the cochinita pibil because it's not replicable at home and their tacos with homemade corn tortillas. If you're gluten free this restaurant is safe!!! The horchata is more complicated with coconut milk, and the michelada is my husband's fave. The cauliflower appetizer is comforting and vegan!“

“My favorite Mexican food around. Everything I’ve tried is delicious and fresh. I don’t eat meat but the fish and vegetarian options have been amazing.I love their fish tacos … fresh fish and the flavors are so fresh with mango and avocado and just the right amount of salsa, so it doesn’t cover the flavor of each ingredient which I think that’s the problem at some other places. Their aguachiles was mouthwatering and had a nice kick ?️ but they adjusted the spice level to my weak palate ? still had a kick! Their Gordita’s was my latest order. They have a vegetarian option with papas and nopales (that option isn’t available online but no problem on the phone or in person. I think there are less options online tho).They’re also kind and welcoming, great customer service. And todos hablan español y siempre me atienden genial.Will go back anytime I want Mexican food.“

“I like their food. I'm still trying to find my favorite thing from here. They come to my apartment complex occasionally. I think of the things I've tried, the shrimp burrito is my favorite. Their shrimp is so plump and cooked perfectly. Perfectly cooked shrimp is like a unicorn, and they nail it!Their ordering/pick up system stresses me out. They don't give you a number or take your name, you just have to remember who was in front of you or hope they remember your face with your order. I was given the wrong order once and numbers/names could totally solve this so I don't get it!“

“Are you in the mood for a really good taco and are fine with eating on a Costco pull out table in between a meat counter and an aisle of flour? Then do I have the place for you!This is the 8th Mexican taco joint I've tried on this street and from a flavour standpoint it is my favorite! We had the pork, beef and chicken - all delicious.The bathroom is through the kitchen and you need to use the kitchen sink to clean your hands. It was weird but I was thankful I was allowed to use it. Joy of toddlers is they always need to go when you least expect it.You pick out your drink at the grocery section and pay for everything at the grocery store cash on your way out.“

“Yummy! Glad I listened to the fish taco recommendations of other reviewers. The fish was perfectly tender and flavorful, and the slice of avocado and veggies were a nice contrast to the fish. The tacos were lightly grilled so had a nice crunchiness on the outside. Spouse said the chicken tacos were good too. Can't wait to go back! I will probably skip the salsa verde next time - I can't take much spice.Jamaica agua fresca was pretty good.“

I've had everything on their menu more than once and will undoubtedly have them all again over time. I work very close and feel very fortunate that they picked this spot in Redwood City to park themselves.

“This is by far the best place to go for some really moist and perfectly cooked carnitas. This place is pretty straight forward; Carnitas and tortillas with just few side selections which are rice and beans. That's it. This is why they perfected cooking up the carnitas.I highly recommend ordering the Combo #3 which is 6 freshly hot tortillas, 1/2 lb mixed carnitas (meat and facial pieces), a small half cup of beans and rice. The meat literally falls apart and is drenched with it's juices. I love the fatty parts such as the cheeks, ears, and other parts; this is perfect with the salsa. This combo was priced at $15 which is a great choice for a first timer. I do want to come back again and try their burrito. Their burrito is huge! basically an arm length lol. I will be back again!“

Guacamole is fresh with a nice portion. Tacos are awesome! Many different variations to try - their fried fish one looked super scrumptious.

Carne Asada

“Title: Delicious Tacos with a Convenient Location, but Pricey and Lacking in Customer ServiceEl Grullense has been my beloved dining spot for many years, and it never fails to impress with its awesome food and delightful flavors. The tacos they serve are bursting with tasty goodness and an incredible array of flavors that keep me coming back time and time again. The taste is consistently outstanding, showcasing the culinary expertise that defines this establishment.However, it's hard to overlook the pricing issue. Over the years, the cost of their tacos has steadily risen, nearing the $4 mark when ordering Lengua tacos. While the flavors justify some premium pricing, the higher costs make it a bit challenging to enjoy these delectable treats as frequently as one might desire.Moreover, I must acknowledge that El Grullense falls short in terms of customer service. The employees can be a bit rude, lacking the warm and welcoming demeanor that enhances the dining experience. It would greatly benefit the establishment to invest in improving their customer service, making each visit a more enjoyable and pleasant experience.Furthermore, requesting extra condiments seems to be met with confusion or disapproval. A more accommodating approach towards fulfilling customer requests for additional toppings would enhance the overall experience and leave patrons feeling more satisfied.Nonetheless, one of the standout advantages of El Grullense is its convenient location. Situated in an excellent area, it offers accessibility and ease for diners, making it a go-to spot for those seeking a quick and tasty meal.In summary, El Grullense offers delicious tacos with an impressive range of flavors and a convenient location. However, the rising prices, lacking customer service, and difficulty in obtaining extra condiments detract from the overall experience. If you're willing to overlook these downsides, it's worth a visit for the flavorful tacos.“

I've tried a few places around the bay area and NO ONE has the thickness of the cream on the Fresas con Crema like this place. As far as the service, yes most of the time there will be a line especially if it's a hot day, but it goes pretty fast and it's definitely worth it.“

Highly recommended! Try their Food Truck location on Atherton Avenue in Atherton. Look for the pacific blue truck with the fantastic air brush mural. Perfect for traveling on 280 or turning around to 101.“

I ordered a Nikko's Special Burrito with chicken and an order of chips and salsa. The burrito was only $12 and was the size of my car.

“I saw this place on the side of Woodside Road and felt compelled to try it. Im guessing they are relatively new or maybe new to this location.The menu has a lot of more traditional Mexican food options - huaraches, sopes, etc. They also have a great meat selection with suadero, buche, cabeza, and more.The service is pretty fast despite there being a lot of people. From how they called out the orders it seems they run a very professional kitchen here.Food-wise everything was great. I really like trying the more atypical items versus tacos and burritos. The sopes in particular were really excellent, very crispy with lots of meat.Overall I really liked the place and it's a great addition to the local food scene. They take credit cards too, which is nice. Parking can be a little tough due to the location though.“
