IN THE CHIPS: Kicking things off, the Chips and Salsa are now $3.85 for an order, but they were worth the money - light and airy, and the salsa just barely had a hint of heat to it. Just perfect. (5/5) THE BEANS.. Perusing the menu, whatever plate you order, you can specify the kind of beans you want (black beans, pinto beans, refried beans). I chose the black beans, but specified "no cheese" on them in a semi-futile attempt to stay on the healthy side. =) SEAFOOD TACOS I decided on the Seafood Taco Platter, where you get one shrimp taco and a fish taco along with a big side of beans and lots of rice. Each taco comes with a double layer of corn tortillas with grilled shrimp, or fish topped by shredded cabbage drizzled with a lime aioli. Instead of deep fried, the shrimp and fish on each taco were grilled to perfection, instead of deep fried. The fish filet was diced and stir-fried with a wonderful aroma. Instead of making a mess, I decided just to eat my taco by slicing and dicing it from the plate. Super good! (5/5) One of my dining partners had the mole here a year ago and loved it, so now that he was back in town, he made this place a prime objective for his visit again to the Bay! Yeah.. I'd tend to agree.. Worth coming back.

Food was 4/5 but the service tanked the ranking. We had a reservation of 7 for Sunday brunch and…read morewere automatically charged the 20% gratuity which we didn't mind paying if the service was up to par but it wasn't. We never got checked on to see if we needed something else after food was delivered and none of our waters were refilled. After we finished eating we still waited about 15min until our server came by and after we asked for the bill he was quick to provide it. There is also a 3% credit card surcharge. The potatoes and beans were missing salt or seasoning, but besides the other food was solid. The huevos rancheros had a different take on them than your average because they were drowned in a salsa but they were good. The carnitas in the Abuelita's Plato were golden to perfection and paired well with the pickled red onion and pico. Rice was fluffy and had good taste with the added carrot pieces. Waffles and pancakes were also a good option for those with a sweet tooth. The restaurant itself is cozy with some outside seating. Family friendly. I've been here on other occasions and wasn't impressed with the food. This time around I was impressed with the food but disappointed with the service.

Easily my favorite taqueria in the area…read more The burritos are good, and would be worth about 4 stars on their own. The meat is the highlight, and I recommend something more flavorful like Pastor or Carnitas, though even the chicken is pretty good. The rice is a little dry, but the hot salsa they provide helps even it out. The pupusas, however, are easily the highlight. Best I've had, ESPECIALLY when you get them for takeout. My theory is that being in the package lets them steam in the condensation for a while, so by the time you get them home, they're the perfect texture without having dry edges. I've been here a hundred times and will likely be back a hundred more.

Excellent service and quality!…read more The people at El Trompudo really take care of their customers. They also support their local first responders by letting them eat free on Sunday ^_^ We've catered them many times and the food is excellent. I ordered three tacos: carnitas, asada, and shrimp. They were not stingy with the meat and I love that they add pickled veggies and turnips on the side. Each was loaded and their red sauce is nice and spicy. 100% recommend them!

Has become my favorite Mexican spot EASILY!…read more Lots of Bay Area competition on this and I know, extremely arguable. But I've been here 8 times in the last 3 weeks.... Burritos are heavy and delicious. Flavor in every bite! Only gotten burritos and horchata and that's honestly all you need. Horchata isn't gritty. Is the perfect balance of sweet and creamy. I've had asada, grilled chicken and shredded chicken burritos. I can't decide between the asada and the GRILLED chicken. Which is why I've gone back so many times haha! I would recommend calling ahead of time because there can be a 15-20 minute wait when it gets busy! Good amount of seating, probably 40 people max for the building so a good small/ medium amount of space. Not for a party of 10+ in my opinion. Great Spot! 10/10

After another group walked up and was immediately greeted and served, we pointed out that we'd been there first. The bartender said we'd already ordered (referring to an $8 chips and salsa) so that's why he didn't ask but with no apology or effort to rectify. Mistakes happen, but a simple acknowledgment goes a long way. The food is overpriced with staff that don't seem to care. We ended up leaving and taking our business elsewhere.
