They have a little place for seating I have to recognize is super clean more clean than some restaurants and the seating area is open another thing they have this cooling system outside that helps a lot with this crazy weather right now .They have a big menu with Salvadoran plates and Mexican plates, they have tacos burritos pupusa Duca Plátano macho. I want to order everything but I got a plátano macho con Crema. And a Pupusa de revuelta . My husband got three tacos to Pastor and one carne asada that at the end I eat de Asada taco it was delicious they put guacamole in your tacos and not so many places do that and we asked for the salsa on the side . It was delicious but too spicy for me. The pupusas were so good because sometimes the meat is only on the center. Not this Pupusas every single bite you tastes the meat and the cheese. They were delicious. if you are looking for a good proposal this is a place. This pupusa truck is in the corner and kinda hard to see it so if you go to this place, use Waze to get to the exactly location for sure we're coming back soon because Husband wants to try the Yuka with Chicharrón

We…read morewandered in here, and there were a few people sitting down to eat, but it was overall pretty quiet. The littles were asleep in the truck already, so we just ordered 3x carne asada super burritos and a kids quesadilla to go. Service was fast, friendly, and on par with our expectations. The carne asada was way more flavorful and moist than expected, and the burritos were delicious. The kids quesadilla, was just that- plain tortilla and cheese. Two (8 inch?) tortillas and a little bit of cheese melted in the middle. It wasn't much cheese and was surprisingly expensive for what it was, in my opinion. I definitely think this place has some yummy food and the service was good. Overall, I'd recommend Taqueria Ripon if you're in the area.

There's plenty of seating inside, along with two private restrooms. A nice touch is that the sinks…read moreare located outside the bathrooms, making it easy for customers to wash their hands without waiting for a restroom to open up. Their menu is fairly extensive and includes all the typical dishes you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant. I did find the prices to be a bit higher compared to similar spots, but I don't mind paying more when the quality and flavor justify it. They also offer Taco Tuesdays from 3-9 PM, Thursdays from 4-9 PM, and happy hour Monday through Thursday from 4-8 PM. We ordered the carnitas street tacos and chicken rolled taquitos. Shortly after being seated, our server brought out complimentary chips and salsa. The chips tasted fresh, and the salsa had great flavor. The tacos were enjoyable overall, but unfortunately the taquitos fell short. They had a good crunch, but were pretty bland on their own and needed salsa to add flavor. This probably wouldn't become one of my regular spots, but I'd come back occasionally to try other menu items.

I recently hired this restaurant for catering an event with 250 guests and was extremely…read moredisappointed with the service. The caterers arrived nearly two hours late, which significantly disrupted the entire event schedule. They brought only two servers for a large crowd of 250 people and ran out of chips midway through service. When I addressed the delays, they took no responsibility and repeatedly claimed they had been given the wrong address. I provided a copy of the signed contract clearly showing the correct address, but this did not resolve the matter--only more excuses followed. Once their excuses were proven incorrect, they then falsely accused me of being intimidating and raising my voice. Despite paying a substantial amount for the event, I was simply holding them accountable to the contract they had agreed to. The food itself was mediocre. Combined with the poor planning, inadequate staffing, and complete lack of accountability, the experience fell far short of professional catering standards. I will not be returning to this restaurant or using their catering services in the future, and I strongly recommend that others consider alternative options.

ORIGINAL REVIEW REMOVED BY YELP!…read more My wife decided to give this place a try, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing from the moment she placed her order. She was trying to order flautas, but there was a language barrier between her and the employee taking her order. My wife noticed that the employee was entering something completely different and repeatedly tried to clarify that she wanted flautas. The employee kept saying "yea, yea, yea," as if she understood and was handling it. My wife knew the order was being entered incorrectly, but rather than continue arguing or create a bigger situation, she decided to let it go and move forward. When the food arrived, it was not what she had ordered. She calmly explained to the employee that she had repeatedly asked for flautas and had even tried to correct the order while it was being entered. Instead of simply acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, the employee began arguing with my wife and insisting that my wife was the one who was wrong. Thankfully, my wife was with a friend who speaks Spanish and was able to translate. Her friend tried to explain what had happened and help resolve the misunderstanding, but the employee continued insisting that my wife was at fault. The situation became so frustrating and flustered for my wife's friend that, while trying to translate and advocate for my wife, she eventually found herself arguing with the employee as well. This was never something my wife or her friend wanted, but the employee's continued denial and unwillingness to simply acknowledge the mistake caused the situation to escalate. Eventually, the employee agreed to remake the order, but the attitude continued. The replacement plate was brought out in a very rude manner and essentially thrown onto the table. What made the situation even worse was that my wife's friend overheard the employee speaking negatively about my wife to the kitchen staff in Spanish. She also overheard the employee saying that my wife should learn how to speak Spanish. At that point, my wife was honestly uncomfortable and even scared to eat the food. When an employee is visibly upset with a customer and is speaking negatively about that customer to the kitchen staff, it creates a level of discomfort and distrust that should never exist when someone is simply trying to enjoy a meal. My wife is one of the kindest and most respectful people you could meet. She was not rude, disrespectful, or demanding. She simply wanted the food she ordered and tried multiple times to correct the mistake. When it became clear that the situation was turning into an argument, she initially chose to let it go because she did not want to create a conflict. We love the culture, we love the cuisine, and we genuinely believe in supporting small businesses. That is why this experience was especially disappointing. As a former resident of this town, I expected much better. Language barriers happen. Mistakes happen. What matters is how you treat someone when those mistakes occur. Unfortunately, the way my wife was treated was completely unacceptable and left a very bad impression. This was, without a doubt, some of the worst customer service we have ever experienced. Very disappointed in you YELP team. I have been using this platform for years and you're simply going to wipe my review? Well here's some more work for you and the owner of this business. Your dispute has been denied. Please resubmit.

As a native to El Grullense - Redwood City, this by far comes close enough to the real deal. Close…read moreenough to not make you take a 1.5 hr drive just for tacos . The seasoning was great, taste authentically close. The highlight thus far were the agua de horchata and the pickled carrots. Those two items were in flavor, exactly the same. In regards to the ambiance, decor and seating. Definitely, great job with the colorful interior; however, it looks too open. Adding a little more furniture will make it a little more cozy. As for service, you can see that it is a new business and its definite need for improvement. Áreas of improvement in my humble opinion would be better knowledge of the menu, and and its ability to cater to a customers request . Now the real deal, let's talk about the flavor. Tacos de Asada were great. Yes, we all know that the secret to El Grullense's taco chain is in the confection of the red sauce and the green tomatillo sauce. In this case, it's not exact but close. Tasty for that matter. As mentioned, Asada was great, tripa was good. Lengua was bland and required seasoning. Now as for Alpastor, something was just too sweet. It was not our favorite. Do I recommend? Absolutely! Will I go back? Yes, without a doubt.

I was shocked to see such a cute clean Mexican restaurant on this side of town! What a pleasant…read moresurprise:) i would not recommend going by yourself if you are a female tho... it is a tad scarey at night. Owner greeted us & was sooo welcoming. you can tell he is passionate about his place and takes pride in everything that comes out of the kitchen. We were a party of 4. We started with drinks and my friend got a Mezcal Margarita. I honestly can say after I tasted it that Mezcal is NOT for me. I cannot handle that Smokey flavor. but, if that's your thing... you need to go here because they have many options and the owner is a connoisseur of Mezcal Tequila. We ordered the bean dip guacamole chips and salsa trio. It was sooo Spicey and delish. Ive not had anything like this flavor before. You must try. It's sooo good. But you better like spice cause it builds on your tongue if you know what I mean. I ordered the sautéed shrimp tacos. It comes with 3 for $18. it does not come with beans or rice. I will say it's plenty of food. sounds pricey for this area, however, the tortillas are handmade along with homemade sauces. And everything is cooked to order not sitting under a heat lamp. My bf ordered the BIRRIA trio of tacos. he said it was delicious and he would come again just to get those. crispy on outside and perfectly seasoned and tender meat on inside with melty cheese. I wish this was a downtown restaurant so it wouldn't feel so "off the beaten path"... and in a nicer area.. because I can't really say it's a hole in the wall type because it's nicer than that... but.. it's located as if it's a "hole in the wall" restaurant . I highly recommend you check this out, you wont be disappointed. And when you meet Tadeo you will want to support him and his family. His dad does all the cooking:)
