    Gluten free/celiac safe homemade tortilla chips!!!! This was the first LuLu's I visited - I now go to the San Carlos one since it's a little closer to home - though I'd love it if they'd open one farther up the peninsula! I got the gluten free carnitas burrito bowl and a side of chips. So happy to have found LuLu's!

    Super Burrito

    Got a super burrito and horchata. After tip it was some how 26 dollars.This is too pricey for what I got. I understand it does match the price of the area but this is more absurd the usual. Size was good and food was ok and standard. Horchata was grainy which can be good or bad. Ok service soled and ok ambiance

    lulu-rita $10

    This was an alright place to grab some Mexican food in downtown Los Altos - I got the carne asada burrito bowl ($12.50) which was a bit skimpy on the portion size. The bowl tasted fine and I enjoyed the amount of fresh tomatoes in the bowl, though it didn't really stand out to me as a dish. It tasted fresher and less fast-food-like than Chipotle, but portions were definitely significantly smaller. Entrees came with chips & salsa and my plate had like a dozen or so chips, but my friend's entree came with literally 4 chips, so she had to go back and ask for more. Given how cheap chips are, seemed a bit off-putting that they would skimp so much on that. On the other hand, the lulu-rita drink was excellent and refreshing and interestingly, was cheaper than my entree. We came for a weekend lunch and it was busy, but still possible to get a table and dine in despite the crowd. Parking can be hit or miss, since you'll need to find street parking or circle the public parking lots -- definitely more difficult during weekends. All in all, the food was decent, but it wouldn't necessarily be at the top of my list to visit again.

    Chile Relleno (1)
    Nancy L.

    I haven't been here since Covid! Fish tacos - fish was nicely grilled and flavorful with fresh salad on top. Enchilada-- my boyfriend tried the pablano sauce . It was light and creamy. Not spicy . Chili relleno -- that was okay. The sauce was too runny and not enough cheese inside the chili. Taquitos--. Nice a crunchy , super good as an appetizer. Nice and casual place for a quick dinner.

    I highly recommend Lulu's!! The tacos are tasty and spicy, served hot, with a variety of sauces and salsas to personalize the dish and give an extra kick. I ordered street tacos, which are served with a side of radish and lime. The meat of choice is heavily sprinkled with cilantro and finely chopped white onion. The location is in downtown Los Altos, a convenient and cute area decorated with succulents out front of the neighboring shops. I examined the menu and asked for water cups, which the staff promptly filled in advance rather than sending me to a refreshments bar with an empty glass. I sat outdoors to enjoy the weather, and the food was delivered to the table within minutes. The server offered mild red salsa and a spicy salsa verde to compliment our dishes. The feel of the restaurant is welcoming for all ages. The dishes are easily affordable for students to return to on a regular basis.

    Carne Asada Burrito with Rice
    Betsy C.

    A convenient spot in the Los Altos downtown, I stopped here for lunch during the Arts and Wine Festival. I've always been a fan of burritos, so I went with a carne asada and rice one, and loved it! It even came with a side of chips and salsa. The staff were very friendly and the food arrived fast too, which I'm always grateful for. I also loved the outdoor area, I enjoyed the burrito on some tables along the street right outside the shop that had a great view of the many artists that had come to share their art during the festival.

    Huevos Rancheros

    A good spot for Mexican food in the area. The huevos rancheros was okay but the enchilada plate was excellent! The tortillas were delicious and handmade. Lots of seating for the counter service

    Burrito bowl and churro is decent. One of the worst, grainiest horchatas I've ever had.

    There were no roasted vegetables in the roasted vegetable burrito. There were a bunch of raw vegetables. That's not what I ordered.

It was so tender and flavorful that it changed my entire opinion of asada. It's really that good! Their chips were crispy and not stale and I just love their self serve salsas. It's usually a hit or miss at Mexican Restaurants, but it's great here! Unfortunately, it seemed like the employee did not want to be there and I felt a bit uncomfortable but the food well makes up for it.

The restaurant is well decorated, feels lively, and is very dark. Maybe a bit too dark - we had to use our flashlight on our phone just to read the menu. We ordered a few items: - Guacamole 3.5/5 , tasted fresh but needs salt. - Ceviche 3/5 , A bit on the sweeter side than we would like - Verde Carne Asada Burrito meal: 4/5, pretty solid actually just wish the portion was a bit bigger for $24 - Steak Fajitas.... 1/5. My mother usually orders fajitas when we go out to eat at mexican restaurant, but we did not see it on the menu, so we asked the server if they had it and he said yes! Now we know why it's probably not on the menu... The meat was SUPER oily, I mean like drenched in oil, if you put a flashlight on the dish, you will quite literally see a puddle of oil at the bottom of the bowl. Second, the meat is very very tough and dry, similar to some meat you would reheat in the microwave after leaving it in the fridge for a few days. This dish is literally unacceptable and the worst part is the fact it costs $29. DO NOT ORDER THIS. Since, this was a dinner for an early mother's day. We did not want to cause any complaint or trouble to the restaurant as it was super packed. We just won't be coming back here anymore. The server himself was friendly, but man did the service suck. We had to flag down someone every time to bring water, chips, and the check. There was no staff check in ever. In fact, they actually lost my credit card and we were waiting around 10- 15 minutes to just get our check back. Everything took forever and the service was super slow. It was a lot of sitting and waiting for each thing. Losing my credit card and having us wait 10-15 minutes to get it back is unacceptable for a professional restaurant that is not on the lower end of things either.

We arrived around 10:00 a.m., and while the restaurant wasn't busy and there were plenty of empty tables available, we stood at the host stand for more than five minutes before anyone acknowledged us.

We ordered simple breakfast items--a ham and cheese omelet with hash browns and toast, and a two-egg breakfast with hash browns and toast. When our meals arrived, the food was lukewarm to cold, and the toast had been replaced with bagels. The eggs were dry and overcooked, and the hash browns were soft and cold. Ironically, the best thing on the plate was the buttered bagel, which was at least fresh and soft. We also requested extra napkins, but they never arrived. For the price we paid, we expected a much better experience. Between the lackluster service and mediocre food, this was not a meal worth repeating. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

I loved it. The salsa paired perfectly with the carnitas and was actually spicy like it should be. The tortillas also where actually heated through too. The carnitas alone.
