18 Best Mexican Restaurants in Sunnyvale

“Margarita Taqueria is a taco truck located in a parking lot. There are tables around a liquor store that you can eat at. One of the best tacos I ever! Meat was well seasoned and the portion size of the meat was good. I got the chipotle and green sauce and it was amazing. The complementary pickled red onions was a nice palate cleanser. I highly recommend getting the birria soup. It came with large chunks of tender meat, tortilla, white onions, cilantro, and chili. There was so much flavor in the soup. My friends got the super burrito and it was huge!!! It was the size of their forearms. Definitely worth the price.“

“Where to begin with La Familia? Truly one of my favorite food trucks... everything deserves 5 stars. My go to is usually the carnitas torta but the birria is also very hard to beat! Be sure to wash it down with the tamarind agua fresca Not only that but the service is perfect. They are so sweet and friendly! side note: they also do catering so i recommend checking them out if you're in need of a caterer“

“The food served here needs the sense of taste. They made a burrito bowl for us, I am not sure whether it was on the menu. It was vibrant, tangy, and so satisfying. The chicken tacos had an earthy flavor. I would definitely be a repeat customer!“

“Totally enjoy meal with family here - the service was brisk & cheerful, the food was well & the tostadas and wraps were light, crispy, tasty ….. had to go for my half portion as it was a big plate. Love the chips & salsa dips.“

“One of the best tacos in the South Bay. Please go out of your way to come this particular Lopez Taqueria location. The others are just not as good. The al pastor marinade was unique from other taco spots and had depth. The lengua tacos here are my favorite in the South Bay. It had a unique sauce it was stewed in and the texture is perfect. I like my lengua with a little chew and this was right up my alley. The chile verde was tender (and not the dry kind of tender). It was slow cooked and moist while the other location felt like it was boiled hard. Carnitas tasted good, it's standard, not the best I've ever had. Avoid the fish tacos - it's just bunch of dry fish sticks on a tortilla, not a big piece of juicy fish like most people expect. I like how they have chili oil on the tables. It adds a nice smokey touch. I wish they had orange sauce like the other taco spots in SJ (Spartans, La Vics, etc). The service here is extremely friendly. I come here pretty occasionally and the food is consistent. I'll definitely be back!“

“What's special about Tia Juana was that we were welcomed with a smile and both food and service were a killer.Located at the corner of a strip mall, it's a little gem in Sunnyvale and a haven of delicious food and pleasant service.The restaurant was decorated with large mural  paintings with bold colors, embedding a strong element of Mexican culture. The vibe was vivid and affable with clean and comfortable setting.We ordered a combo plate of tostada and enchiladas and a burrito. My Tostada was excellent with crispy tasted carnitas, fresh veggies and various cheeses. I was curious about the white soft crumbling cheese spreaded on Tostada and found out later from web search that it's younger Cotija cheese. The Cotija was mild, unlike pungent Feta, although similar in looks when crumbled. And I really liked it.The combination of everything in Tostada that captivated my taste buds and heart. It was the best version I've had.Enchiladas was full of meat of my choice- shredded beef which was tender, juicy and full of flavors. The corn tortilla, soaked in red chilli sauce added extra layer of savory. I felt like eating home-made meal.The combo plate was large at a reasonable price ($15), totally blew me away with its quality.They charge for salsa and chips and serve Menudo on weekends.Highly recommend Tia Juana and would love to come back.“

“Phenomenal tacos!!!! So much flavor and fresh ingredients. Great serving sizes, great price! Ordered a Carne Quesadilla and 2 chicken tacos! Not sure what the drink was, but it’s pineapple flavored and delicious as well!! Highly recommend!!“

“If you're looking for a good quick easy taco spot that tastes really good definitely come check it out. I highly recommend the super burrito everything inside. I also would tell you to try the quesadilla. Very very good. No questions asked. The staff is extremely nice and easy. The food comes in 5 to 7 minutes Max. If you're in the area come and try it it out you won't be disappointed. The location is in a chevron gas station“

“Update: Visited again in Jan 2024 and still is the reigning king/queen of pozole in the Bay Area.This spot has the best Pozole in the Bay Area for only $9 a cup as of Dec. 2022. Make sure to try some of their orange sauce! Burritos are also delicious! I'm gonna come back to try some of the sangria too“

“The food is absolutely delicious, the owners are nice, and the music is rad. The Quesabirria comes with 3 large tacos with beef birria and cheese with a side of consume, radishes, onions, lebu, green and red salsa. The tacos tasted AWESOME! Wasn’t a fan of the onion. Consume was flavorful. Green and red salsa had a tie, equally tasty.“

“I literally just went there and got a chorizo breakfast burrito and it was fire! We all know rice and beans make up most of the burritos but not this one it was about 3/4 meat and 1/3 eggs and rice and cheese just like I like it. Burrito and bottled coke came to $13 bux .. pretty average nowadays.“

“Went to this place for lunch. I ordered a regular burrito, which I asked them to make vegan. I later learned that they can also add veggies, but that wasn't on the menu. I requested that the burrito be well grilled. They did an excellent job catering to my request. Also, used whole Pinto beans, which I loved!My sister in law ordered their special vegetarian burrito (not vegan) and loved their green sauce.Great place. Loved the food and service!Dietary restrictions: Got a great vegan burrito“

“Love this place so much. We just discovered it, and have been twice. They have lots of good options, and everything is seasoned so well. It also tastes low salt, which is great for my family. This is our go-to Mexican.It's super relaxed, order at the counter.“

“--Same review for Mexcal on wheels (I believe they are the same owner)Stopped by Mexiquena based on my friend's recommendation since this is their go-to taco spot!I've been back quite a few times since! Mexiquena is located at the Shell gas station. Just park off to the side anywhere, just make sure you don't block any entrances to and out of the lot.Regular tacos are $3 (a bit pricier imo) for these two-biters, but they are just so good!!! I've only tried the steak tacos with their mild salsas. I ask it on the side so I can adjust to my taste buds :)Single tortillas which is awesome! I'm told they are homemade, and they just sit really good in your stomach. They taste light and fresh.Go to spot for me too! Love this spot!Follow the adventure @shoyuthebest on IG!“

“This is a review for their carne asada Super Burrito. Super crispy carne asada, and the salsa verde has a nice kick to it. One of the better burritos I’ve had in the bay area, I rate this truck highly - personally like this more than other south bay staples like Tacos Compa, Santiaguito, etc.“

“This is my new favorite taco place, not the one you were expecting but definitely the one you are looking for! I got the cabeza tacos and pollo and asada, the cabeza is on point, the service is fast and friendly and most important of all the other facts, she makes the tortillas fresh, that alone is worth the trip out here! Relax in their seating area, eat some delicious tacos, plain and simple!“

“Food is pretty good and well presented. Large portions, authentic flavor. Prices are a little high for my taste and no drinks included in price but as a treat it is worth it. If one doesn't have an enormous appetite perhaps you can share one dish as they are large plates. You can always order more and the food comes out pretty speedy.Love the delicious salsa selection for chips and your meal (chips are warmed and free) though be mindful they are spicier than most other places.Gets crowded because it's good food but it can get loud and hectic. Bring cash to tip they don't let you sign for it.“

“I passed by this truck and couldn't help but notice the pleasant aroma here. So I made it a point to order from here on my lunch break. Located in the Lowes parking lot corner you'll find tons of parking. There are also a couple of tables, chairs and trash cans in case you want to enjoy your food on the spot. I did an online order via yelp/grubhub which told me my food would be ready in 20 minutes. After 40 minutes I noticed there was no update on my order status so I went to the location hoping my food would be ready. I showed the gentleman my order and that I had paid already and he said they never received it and to order in person and cancel online. That sounded like more trouble than I was hoping for but I paid again and the food was ready in minutes. Very impressive on the turnaround time and even more so the quality of the food. My nose hasn't failed me yet lol. I ordered al pastor which had a not so common cut or texture but the flavors definitely checked out. Kinda seemed like think cut steak with the al pastor flavor, a bit of kick and so much to make you enjoy it that there was no reason to look into any issues. Great customer service and grub hub actually called me while I was eating in my work truck to tell me they dropped the ball and would give me a full refund. All without me having to go out of my way for their mistakes. The truck employee told me they were having issues with grubhub quite a bit so maybe that's why they were so quick to fix this dilemma. Nevertheless a successful lunch mission completed. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're in the area and looking for some good food“
