I came here on my lunch break when I was driving around the area and craving tacos. My coworker had…read morementioned this taco place and said it was the best tacos he had ever had so naturally, I had to try them myself. I ordered three al pastor tacos and wish I ordered a fourth carne asada taco. It was ready and came out within 10 minutes. The tacos were delicious and super flavorful! The green sauce that they give was also very tasty and paired well with the tacos. My coworker was correct, these are one of the best tacos I've ever had! I will definitely come back and try the carne asada!!

You and your guests will be so happy. First, the food is awesome. Very tasty and fresh. I have eaten there multiple times and it's always delicious. I have ordered catering for a couple parties and my guests are always asking me where the delicious food is from! You get so much food, and you know the best thing about hosting a party is the leftovers (unless the food is so good that your guests eat it all or want to take the leftovers home... which is what happened to me both times, but at least they left me some rice and beans and that kept me happy for another week). Just goes to show how good it is! Second, the restaurant is so beautiful and cozy. You feel the history and family behind the food and the love of the legendary Mama Coco! Third, Monica and the Mama Coco team are super. So kind. Just writing this review and reminiscing about the food is making me really want to eat there so yep, looks like I'm going there this weekend!

The service here was fast and awesome which was very nice. For food I tried the green sauce enchiladas with seafood and this was fresh and inviting. My hubby got the chipotle sauce enchiladas which were even better. Sauce is great and I would definitely order this again. We also got chips and salsa which came with 3 different salsas and you could really tell they were fresh and homemade. For dessert, we got churros with ice cream. These were warm and crispy with a chewy interior and went perfectly with the ice cream. We would order this again! Overall, really nice experience and would come back here!

We found this place since it was near the Costco we were headed to while visiting my nephew…read more Literally in the parking lot. The reviews looked good so we decided to make a stop. Pleasantly surprised by what we would find. My nephew asked if the beef tongue was good but they weren't understanding so we just ordered one. He also got a carne asada taco and I got a mulita. They have a sala bar with cucumbers/radish, pickled onion and salsas. I had to try them all. They call you when it's ready. The beef tongue looked very interesting so we were skeptical about it. But after trying it, we were pleasantly surprised and he enjoyed it the most of the 2 tacos he got. The multia was only grilled on 1 side and the other tortilla was just slapped on top. All the other places we go to they grill both sides. It did have a nice cheese layer on it though. Good but would have preferred both sides grilled. Salas were good as well. I didn't get my receipt though but oh well. SYOY!

Small shop that was run by only 2 people working hard so be patient…read more I ordered an al pastor taco, pupusa, and asada burrito. My favorite was the Al pastor taco which had a generous portion of meat. The red salsa isn't really spicy but still delicious. The pupusa was nice and cheesy, and parts of the outside were crispy. The burrito is solid. Nothing too crazy but still delicious and had a good amount of filling. Overall, I'd rate it a 7/10. I had a good amount of tasty food for $24 total, which I think is a solid deal. $4 for a taco is slightly steep, but it is Palo Alto so I understand. I think the burrito for ~$12 is a good deal considering they have a solid portion of filling inside. Would definitely come back

The vibe is incredibly laid-back and casual, so you can show up in whatever you're wearing and feel right at home. A major highlight is the complimentary nacho and salsa bar! It's such a nice, welcoming touch to start the meal. For dinner, I ordered the shrimp cocktail or "coctel de camarón" ($22) and my boyfriend went for the wet red burrito ($16). The portions were genuinely massive, so we ended up needing to-go boxes despite how delicious everything was. We also shared a Cadillac margarita during happy hour for about $11; it was easily one of the best I've ever had, even topping the ones at Mama Coco's. It was huge and such a steal for the price. The service was truly amazing from start to finish. We decided to sit outside, and the staff was incredibly accommodating, bringing our food out to the patio without us having to ask. With our total coming to $43.39 including tip (not including margarita), it's a fantastic value for the amount of food and quality of drinks you get. This was actually my second time here specifically for the margaritas, and I'll definitely be back again soon.

Was driving through with a friend last night on our way to San Francisco and found this place was…read moreopen till 11. Sweet :) Wanted something relatively fast and somewhat healthy and hearty, so we decided to go in. I ordered three shrimp tacos which I believe came with corn tortillas, grilled shrimp, green bell peppers, white onions, and some kind of salsa (green salsa & pico de callo). Delicious! There was a pretty good amount of shrimp in each taco, which I was super stoked on. Total for the three shrimp tacos came out to $19.74 (3x shrimp tacos = $5.99). Everything came out perfect and consistent. There is seating outside and plenty of seating inside. When you first walk in, you will notice the bar to the left side of the restaurant. It was clean, bright, and welcoming. The woman at the counter was straight-forward, nothing too crazy to note on. They have a $10 minimum when paying with a credit card, so just be prepared for that :) The best part is... they have self-serve tortilla chips AND self-serve salsa bar! Their salsas were the right amount of spicy (just the way I like it)... Their bathroom is also very clean, which is always a plus. I told my friend that I will make note of this restaurant, because it's so good and delicious... (will definitely come back again for their salsa bar :)

My friend and I both got the make your own Crunchwrap and it was so amazingly flavorful with any choice of meat, beans, guac, sour cream and other unlimited toppings. They even had an option to get birria, the Crunchwrap was really crunchy similar to Taco Bell's but it was HUGE. It lasted me 2 and a half meals so totally worth the money. 100% would come back here

The lady that picked up the phone initially did not understand English, but another lady I spoke to was able to take our order. Both Ronnie and his dad said that the burritos were spicy. I ordered a chile verde and a carne asada burrito. I tasted it and did not find it spicy, but if you are to order for your children you ought to ask to make it mild.

He said they were some of the best tacos he's had. So glad we decided to venture and try somewhere new. I will definitely be going. Highly recommend

The tortillas were fresh and perfectly roasted--not too crispy, not too soft--just the right texture to complement the meat. The meat itself was juicy, flavorful, and honestly mouthwatering. Every bite was satisfying. And the red sauce... wow. Absolutely to die for. It tied everything together with bold, flavorful heat. The flavors overall were on point. They also offer a variety of aguas frescas--we tried the cantaloupe, and it was perfect. Not overly sweet or watered down, just really refreshing. The space itself is clean with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The overall aesthetic is nice too, making it a great spot to sit and enjoy your food. I'll definitely be back to try more.

Customers have the option to order inside if they want to enjoy a sit-down meal in a group-friendly dining area, or they can conveniently place a takeout order through the pickup window outside. Parking is somewhat limited, but it's manageable if you're willing to wait a moment for a space. For my first visit, I decided to keep it simple and ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito for pickup. I was told the order would take about 10 minutes from start to finish. To be safe, I arrived about five minutes later than the estimated pickup time in case they were busy. Unfortunately, after checking in, I still had to wait another 15 to 20 minutes before my food was finally ready. To the staff's credit, everyone was polite, courteous, and made sure customers were acknowledged. I never felt ignored, and they genuinely seemed to care about providing good customer service. The biggest issue was simply the wait time. When I arrived, there were only two people ahead of me waiting for pickup. By the time I finally received my order, there were nearly ten people lined up waiting for theirs. It was clear the kitchen was struggling to keep up with demand. Wanting to enjoy the burrito at its freshest, I started eating it immediately. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The chorizo tasted overcooked and almost burnt, while the eggs were extremely limited--almost nonexistent. Honestly, it felt more like a chorizo and rice burrito than a traditional breakfast burrito. The bright spot was the fresh salsa, which added much-needed flavor and helped make the burrito more enjoyable. A breakfast burrito is one of the simplest menu items to prepare, and I intentionally chose it as a way to get a feel for the restaurant before trying more of the menu. Between the extended wait and the disappointing quality of my first order, it wasn't the introduction I was hoping for. I understand this is a very popular location with many positive reviews, and plenty of people clearly enjoy eating here. However, you only get one chance to make a first impression, and mine was disappointing. If I'm craving Mexican food and don't have many other options, I may give Tacos El Grullense #1 another opportunity in the future. But after this experience, there's no guarantee I'll be back anytime soon.
