    Authentic location in Sunnyvale for great Mexican food. I ordered two tacos asada, one al pastor, and one lengua (not pictured). Comes with pickled radish, carrots, and lemon wedges. So delicious, the portions here are incredibly filling so order with caution if your eyes tend to be bigger than your stomach like mine. Parking can be somewhat limited in this plaza but I generally have no issue finding a spot. I know that some people park at adjacent lots like the In-n-Out or 10 Butchers lots and walk over from the street across. The interior can be a bit loud and they play live music sometimes. I had a very good experience.

    Super Burrito with Carnitas

    Had the Super Burrito with Carnitas and a churro. This was my go to burrito restaurant years ago when I used to work nearby. The carnitas had changed. Used to be full flavor porky goodness. The one In recently had was just ok. Carnitas was still tender but less seasoned than it used to be. Also less meat. Burrito came with everything and price was still reasonable. Churro was good with perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar coating.

    The sides of the fajitas. Guac, beans, salad, and sour cream.

    Came here on someone's recommendation! It has a huge variety of things. The service was great. Very chill vibe. Plenty of keto options.

    So I was in the area at Molly Tea. Just looking for something to eat before our drive. My buddy suggested let's just try this random spot around the corner. It happened to be Garcia's Taqueria. A hole in the wall unassuming spot. Upon entering we walk up to the counter and look up at the menu above. I got the taco plate of a carne asada taco, rice, and beans. They were very helpful and friendly. They also give you free chips and salsa to eat before your entree comes out. The chips and salsa of course were addicting. The plate comes out and the taco comes with a handmade corn tortilla. The asada sliced up well. A great taco. the rice was cooked nicely as well. Very fluffy. But the star of the show is the beans. So nicely whipped. It had so much flavor and melted in your mouth texture. Really glad we randomly chose this spot.

    Skinniest burrito I have ever bought besides microwave burritos

    I came to this place like 8 years ago but couldn't remember why I didn't like it. This time I came because this was the closest places from Maple Tree Hotel. My burrito was so small. I almost ate the whole thing in about 5 bites. I wanted to measure just to see how wide it was . 2-1/2 inches ! Really!!!!! Never again!

    Free chips and salsa -- spicy!

    A Mexican's Mexican Restaurant -- authentic Mexican food, low cost, raw authentic ambiance. If you want to know what an authentic Mexican food experience, look no further than Garcia's Taqueria. Loud music, party ambiance, real culture. The food is pretty good, but more than anything go for the experience. This reminds me of growing up being in Mexico with family. If you've got a Spanish speaking friend, take them with you and order in Spanish :) This place gets packed on weekends. They had live music when I went!!

    Mexican food.

    Cashier was not so friendly. We were standing in line ( only two of us ) and she continued to talk with another bystander. Never acknowledged us. Not coming back to this place unless their customer service improves.

    Very uncoordinated service; the waitress prioritizes the people drinking at the bar, and the food was cold and involved a long wait.

Puns aside, their noodles always hit for me. I admit, I've yet to try their bag o' crab (clearly their specialty) -- or any seafood boil bags for that matter, but it smells delicious & there always seems to be a good amount of diners enjoying themselves. They provide disposable bibs & gloves to help keep your hands & clothes clean. Staff is always friendly -- & even when they seem busy! There is also an order kiosk you can utilize for takeout in case the staff are attending to other tasks/guests. I always seem to come in the last hour or so, when I am getting off work and feel like I don't want to cook dinner -- so I usually order to-go. When I get the chance to come by earlier in the day, I will definitely be ordering one of the combos~ Atomic sauce is their most popular, and contains all four of the other sauces combined. Prices seem pretty reasonable too, compared to some other seafood boil places that I have been to. The service & their noodles will definitely keep me coming back. Thank you Bag O Crab!

    Seapot Hot Pot and Bar, Sunnyvale…read more August 2026 My first time at this Seapot Sunnyvale location, it's big like the other locations. My family ordered the hot pot version and I got the Thai Pot: A tangy, fragrant Tom Yum style hot and sour broth. The broth itself was delicious and I added fresh pineapples from the condiment bar to boost the flavor. Highly recommend that broth! The sides dishes are good and they also have a sauce and condiments bar. The meats that we ordered were delicious as well. I didn't see much of a dessert area besides the fresh fruits. Service was good but they get busy fast so we don't often see the waiter we much as we wanted to. At the end, we had to hurry and leave since the area we sat at was reserved also. Highly recommend and would come back if I'm in the area. Bonus: If you're planning on coming, highly recommend to join the waitlist on Yelp! The hostess also calls to confirm reservations and make sure your party is there together for faster seatings.

We arrived on a Saturday evening for dinner. The restaurant is located in a nice newer plaza area in Cupertino off the Vallco Parkway close to where Vallco Shopping Mall once stood. Parking is available in the parking garage in the plaza. The restaurant is medium size but maximizes the space efficiently with plenty of booths and tables for dine in. The modern decor is nice and sleek. Whereas the vibe is bustling and welcoming. We ordered the combo of 2 pounds of shrimp with heads on, garlic noodles, and 2 steamed rice. The seafood boil came out in a large silver bowl instead of the usual large clear bag. I found this to be much better in presentation. Everything was so delicious. The captain Loui sauce was so flavorful and sweet. The shrimp were plump and juicy. Garlic noodles were tasty. A couple of saucy yummy corn and potato were found in the bowl which was a good surprise. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Cap't Loui. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The combo options were a great deal. Free Ice cream popsicles for dessert were a nice surprise at the end. We will definitely be back as their seafood boil is one of the better options in the South Bay.
