Their food is flavorful and delish. Their portion size is very good. The chips area also really good, as-is their two salsas. The chips area nice and crunchy and they will refill them if you ask. The two salsas compliment each other well. One is a Pico de Gallo, which has the right amount of spice to it. The other is tomsto sauced and fairly spicy. Our friend enjoyed a Small Combo #4 (Tamales, Salad, Rice and Beans). My wife had a Small Combo #6 (Chicken Burrito, Salad, Rice and Beans).

My husband had mentioned concerns about the service before, but I hadn't personally noticed any issues until today. In the past, I usually visited with my Mexican family. This time, I came with my husband, who is not Mexican, and I noticed that our server seemed to overlook him unless he was actively placing an order. The most surprising moment was when she removed his plate before he had finished eating. That really caught me off guard and left us feeling awkward. I hope this was an isolated incident because the food has always been enjoyable.

[[ Location ]] It's kind of tucked away in a plaza and I even turned into the wrong entrance to get there. I chose the entrance after the Wells Fargo which is not the right one but luckily all the plaza's are interconnected so I could just drive over there. Make sure you turn in at the entrance with the Dunkin and you will be fine. Tons of parking so that will not be an issue including 1 hour parking right in front the restaraunt. [[ Food ]] Good goly the food is so good here. Not only does the food taste good but around $3.89 for a well portioned regular taco is a steal. Not to mention their green sauce, red sauce, and chipotle sauce were just the right flavor to add to your tacos. We got the following: 1.) Flautas Plate = The rice and beans that come with this is superb 2.) 2x Lengua Taco = My favorite taco that we ordered 3.) 2x Birria Taco 4.) Chorizo Taco 5.) Carnitas Taco [[ Conclusion ]] I'm definitely going to go back as now I have a go-to Taco place in Milpitas.

Unfortunately, my experience here was disappointing. We were there for about an hour, and the…read morerestaurant was empty during our visit. Despite that, our food took quite a while to arrive. Food: Camarones a la Diabla -- The food was very oily, the sauce was too salty, and there was even a dry ball of rice on the plate. The beans and salad were good, but the overall dish was not enjoyable. Quesibirrias -- The consomé had a significant amount of oil, the tortillas were dry with hard edges, and the meat was very oily. Tacos de Asada -- Unfortunately, the meat had a lot of fat and was dry and overly roasted. The tortillas were also cold. Customer Service: This was another disappointing part of the experience. When we walked in, we had to seat ourselves and did not feel welcomed. You pay when you place your order, and then the food is brought to your table. Overall: 1/5 There are definitely several areas that could use improvement, especially the food quality, wait time, and customer service. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I won't be coming back.

Interior is clean and spacious.

De Los Altos Grill offers some decent flavors, but there are a few missteps in execution. The asada fries were satisfying, with a good balance of meat and cheese. However, the guacamole was on the runny side and felt like an afterthought, especially given the smaller portion compared to the generous helping of fries and cheese. The lengua California burrito was a bit of a letdown. Instead of replacing the rice with fries as is typical, they included both, which made the burrito overly starchy and heavy. While the lengua itself was flavorful, the imbalance in ingredients detracted from the overall experience. It's a spot with potential, but some tweaks to their ingredient proportions could make a big difference. Worth trying if you're in the area, but not without some room for improvement. read more

It's been a while since I last ate here, and unfortunately, my recent visit was disappointing. The cashier was noticeably rude, which made me feel uncomfortable--possibly because I'm not Mexican, though I remained courteous throughout the interaction. The overall ambiance felt unwelcoming. When I received my food, I tried to ask for some salsa, but the cashier completely ignored me and walked to the back as if I wasn't there. Thankfully, another staff member noticed and respectfully helped me. What surprised me even more was that I was charged for the second salsa, despite ordering six tacos. Just wanted to share my experience in this review--it was really disheartening. read more

He suggested the burrito al pastor. I opted for the super burrito version of the al pastor since it included avocado. The burrito in itself was okay. It was not bad but it lacked enough flavor for me to want to go out of my way to visit again. I dissected the burrito to figure out what was missing, and I think the meat was under seasoned. The meat was good to eat by itself but way under seasoned for a large burrito. On a positive note, I did think that this food truck did a good job making the tortilla crispy, which added a nice texture with every bite. Tip: skip the avocado. I usually prefer avocado because it gives the burrito the bit of creaminess to bring everything together, but there were only two or three thin slices in the order. Also skip the horchata. It lacked cinnamon.

During my recent visit, we got the carne asada quesadilla and tripa burrito. The quesadilla was large in size and came with fresh veggies on the side (shredded lettuce, jalapeno, sliced cucumber and radish), but there wasn't much cheese inside, so little that I thought they forgot to put cheese in it at all... I eventually found a tiny sprinkle melted and hardened in the tortilla, could only see it if I looked closely, and definitely couldn't taste it. Luckily the meat in both the burrito and quesadilla had good flavor even if a bit dry, and the green sauce added a much needed kick. It was a satisfying enough meal, since we were hungry. Service was a bit slow with only a few customers, our order took about 15-20 minutes to be ready.
