I love coming here. This is elevated Mexican food so not a street food experience, hence it's a bit pricey. I always get the Crepas con Mariscos, which is so good. Desserts were also filling. I had the Sangria once and it was not watered down at all unlike most places, so be aware. Service was decent and the staff got things served pretty quickly. The dining room is large and the bathroom is on the second floor at the back. There are large floor to ceiling windows at the front that open up when the weather is nice. read more

Reposado is a classy Mexican restaurant located right in the heart of downtown Palo Alto. Despite having tried many restaurants in the area, we had never been here before and decided to visit for a special family occasion. Booking a table for three was seamless, and the atmosphere was wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious--we ordered the enchiladas, the guacamole, and a quesadilla for the kids. The drinks were fantastic and perfectly strong, and our servers were incredibly attentive and friendly. It's also worth noting that they have a lot of large tables, making it a clear favorite for corporate groups from the surrounding tech offices in the evening. Whether for a family celebration or a night out, I definitely recommend this place! read more

What a nice spot for a drink and a bite. It's a little more expensive than some of the other options around but quality is on point. I came for just a drink and a bite but ended up having two drinks and three bites as it was so good. I had Cadillac margarita -- very smooth, not too sweet, could appreciate the tequila -- and a Pacifico second. I enjoyed the shrimp empanadas -- crisp outside, lots of shrimp inside, nice salsa that accentuated it, the elite asado (get it on the cob!). Large portion, rich, just enough char. And the dates stuffed with chorizo and manchego , wrapped in bacon, and it was pleasantly balanced, not too greasy or rich. Yum. Service was great at the bar with Sergio. Very attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. Great spot. Especially if you're lucky to stay across the street at the Cardinal. Kitchen Open til 10pm too which is nice since many spots around here close at 9pm. Bar open later. Tons of tequila offerings. read more

We ordered crepe, which was stuffed with crab and fish. This was good. The crepe was soft and the fish and crab tasted fresh and tasty. I wish there was more crab and less fish. It came with rice which was really yummy. The chicken salad was good too. The chicken was moist and tender and the veggies were fresh. The mango margarita was yummy. It had the right amount of alcohol and sweetness- very refreshing. The ambient was nice. There is a huge bar in the middle of the restaurant with transparent windows into the kitchen. It was however kind of pricey for what you are getting. read more

My work did a dinner here for a table of 7 and we had a great time. There are people in our party who are very particular when it comes to Mexican food and they enjoyed it. The restaurant was great at accommodating dietary restrictions. They kept checking in on us. We all had drinks appetizers and entrées. No room for dessert. The food and portion size was wonderful. Price was $700 after tax and 20% tip they automatically added on for 7 people. Not bad for downtown Palo Alto! Would def come back with my friends or family again since I live close to the area. read more

We had a staff lunch at this restaurant and it was very good. I've been at the location before many years ago but this current restaurant appears to have their concept in order.

Hadn't been in quite some time. The last time I went I felt it wasn't quite as good as usual. I always order treated thing. The Caesar salad with chicken. It was good. They've changed something with this salad as it doesn't have as much flavor as it used to. But it was good, just not great. Service is always impeccable! Loved all the holiday decor. read more

I have no idea why this place has 3.6 stars. I would argue that Reposado is in my top 3 restaurants in Palo Alto. We started off with some chips with salsa and guacamole. I really enjoyed all of the sauces/dips. For my main, I ordered the crepas con mariscos and it was really yummy. The jasmine rice with roasted corn really complimented the crepes. The waiters were super friendly and attentive which contributed to the wonderful atmosphere. I would definitely love to come back again! read more

Been a few times over the years and the food is mid for the price. The location and atmosphere is nice. Drinks are good, but expensive. Sure the rent in PA has a lot to do with the pricing. Service was good. Watch it - tip automatically added (party of 4). Sort of weird. read more

Joint was hopping when we stopped in for Thursday dinner. Enjoyed the drinks (the drink menu leans, expectedly, heavy on tequila), and had a great conversation with our server about his recommendations - all of which were spot on. Food offerings lean toward contemporary updates of traditional Mexican fare. Especially found the seafood crepes (Crepas Con Mariscos) tasty. Meal was delicious, and greatly enjoyed the evening - we'll be back! read more

Drinks are small pours. Like really small. Would not order a tequila or mezcal drink.

Food was a bit bland. The service is not good. Staff had no coordination. Picked up my soft drink with 30% left to go and thinking they would freshen it up per his comment. Nothing came back until 1/2 the main course was done. The food was a bit bland. Would recommend El Gruense in Redwood city. Or nearby taco truck. Manager just yapping away with the seating staff. Not a care in the world about the lack of service. read more

kept seeing this location everytime I pass by Palo Alto and been wanting to try them. the place is neat and elegant. It has a chill vibe. The host was friendly to welcomed us and we were seated almost immediately. Our server was sweet and attentive. They have wine, margaritas and plenty of different cocktails and brews to choose from as well as varieties of food items that were interesting. We only wanted a couple of appetizers and some margaritas and thats what we ordered. we didn't wait long to be served our drinks and the appetizers followed shortly. And it tasted great! The margaritas were perfect and the appetizers were delicious! Highly recommend them and will definitely return! read more

I hosted a ladies luncheon. ordered the Seafood Crepe and it was delicious!! All the ladies enjoyed their orders too! Sharing two of their dishes. The service was great, very responsive and the atmosphere was top notch. The restaurant is very clean and stylish. Parking was available just around the corner at the Civic center. Super convenient as Palo Alto street parking can be hard to get. Give this restaurant a try. It's awesome! read more

This is one of the premier restaurants on Hamilton Ave, down town Palo Alto, specializing in Mexican. There is a modern open seating vibe with a long bar area. My colleague and I sat for an hour at the head of the bar enjoying a couple of cocktails until our party arrived for dinner. Pictured is the Tequila inspired Old Fashioned, which had distinctive Reposado tequila flavor with the orange and bitter of an old fashioned mixed drink. My curiosity is satisfied but I definitely prefer bourbon or whisky in my old fashioned. When our party arrived for dinner we were seated at a table near the front, next to the glass. We ordered a mix of appetizers and deserts for started and enders. I had a main course of chicken mole. The chicken was super tender. This was an excellent evening dining out. read more

The best I can say about this place is "It's not bad" however nothing really stood out for me taste wise or service wise. The ambiance is good The tall ceiling with ambient light feels nice. I was here to celebrate a friend's birthday and maybe that made it special and worth 3 stars. Vegetarian options are available and Chile Poblano was good. Drinks options are plenty however the one I ordered, Lemon Drop cocktail tasted like basic, too sweet lemonade. Honestly, I would have been okay with the quantity, quality, and the slow service if it was not this expensive. read more

Imagine visiting a restaurant after 9 years and having a good or similar experience. We had another celebration and headed to Reposado to see if we got the same experience as before. I don't remember if the menu items are still the same but the Pollo mole was still on. My wife ordered it and she liked it. My daughter ordered the pibil and like it. And I ordered the rellanos and it was simple and good. The appetizers and drinks were served quickly and were actually good portion. At one point I was thinking if we should head out after the appetizers but we are glad we waited and allowed some time. The appetizers did their job as we did feel hungry to have the main course. This place is still expensive and for me it seems like a place to go to celebrate special occasions. read more

We were invited to a Friday evening dinner here and we were pleased with the food and the experience. We were expecting the place to be packed but much to our delight it was not. Two of our party of six came early and they were seated ahead of us which was nice. Our servers were attentive and kind. For starters we had the Home Made Guacamole which was excellent. It went well with their complimentary chips (a bit too salty for me) which was served with three types of salsa. We also had the Datiles Rellenos which are a couple of dates stuffed with chorizo and manchego cheese, wrapped in bacon and served with arugula radish salad drizzled with roasted tomato vinaigrette. I loved my Crepas con Mariscos which were a couple of house made blue corn crepes filled with fresh crab, shrimp and red snapper. Their menu says they use Chihuahua cheese and poblano cream sauce. On the side there is jasmine rice with roasted corn which lends some sweetness to the dish. All these flavors were delightful. I took a bite from my husband's dish which was this very tender braised short rib they call Costilla. I also got a bite of another friend's dish which was this tasty marinated pork dish called Cochinita Pibil. Wonderful food, great service, delightful ambience and convenient parking. It's a good place to go for celebrations. read more

I've been here a few times and really enjoyed it! Last night we had a wonderful waiter named Jesus who was very attentive and helpful. We had mocktails, chips and guacamole, the steak, and short ribs! Everything was delicious, and I love how festively the restaurant is decorated for the holiday season! read more

Food and drinks were delicious. We ordered carne a la parilla and it did not disappoint. Our Cadillac margaritas were on point! And the hibiscus lemon drop was the right amount of perfect! We also had a chips with a variety of salsas that helped out before the main course! Service started out slow (they may have been understaffed) but once they greeted us all was good. They kept our water filled and were attentive to what the table may have needed. Jesus, our server was very attentive and friendly. It was our first time in this restaurant and the atmosphere was amazing. The lighting was perfect and all around you could see people enjoying their meals ! read more

Came here with my coworkers after a long days work. The menu was a little hard to get into because it's not your everyday Mexican food but I took an educated guess assuming that the crepas were similar to enchiladas and I was right. Delicious!

They have quite a few vegan option on the menu and I was pleasantly surprised with the variety! I asked if they could give me the fried tofu in the quinoa salad raw and the server said they could grill it--fantastic. A lot of places would not permit that and so I was thankful. I only detract a start because they use soybean oil and I would prefer they had a healthy & easy Frijoles de Olla on the menu instead of the refried beans made with oil. Other than that it was a great experience. read more

Solid Mexican fare Started off with their fresh guac and chips which was standard but great. They had great service and kept preemptively refilling our chips. For the main, tried their crepas con mariscos which had plenty of seafood and smothered in an interesting poblano cream sauce. Overall food here is yummy read more

This is a very expensive and not very authentic Mexican food restaurant.  Pro:  The restaurant is located in downtown Palo Alto. The ambience seem modern. Service is good and quick. Plate presentation is good. Cons:  Food in general is very expensive considering this is mexican food. The portions also small. What's worst is that the restaurant was super noisy. I couldn't even hear my guests on the other side of table :-( I took my out of town guests there since they want Mexican food. In the end they were not very happy and my bill was close to $500 :-( read more

I came here with coworkers on a Tuesday night after work and it was super lively! Plenty of street parking and parking lots nearby. Right when we walked in, the high ceilings and modern lights were so inviting. The service staff greeted us all in and took us to a corner table with a booth. I ordered their mocktail with tamarindo, it was delicious! The servers came out almost immediately with their house chips and salsa. We also ordered their cuajada which was simply amazing. The ooey gooey texture was so delicious. I ordered their braised beef with black beans. It had a good spicy kick to it and the beef was literally melt in your mouth. It came off the fork so easily. Lastly, for dessert, you have to order their tres leches and passionfruit creme brulee. That passionfruit was front and center. Such amazing service and a great time altogether! read more

Reposado - Mexican Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Went here for a team dinner on a Tuesday at 4pm. I have been here before but always at traditional dinner time and it's loud. It was nice to have a quiet dinner. The place itself is beautiful, lots of windows and a large bar in the center. Service was great, we had the guacamole which came with chips and 3 different types of salsa. I didn't think any of the salsas was spicy but I love spicy food and my tolerance is higher than most people. We also ordered the ceviche, it was ok. I had a glass of prosecco and my co worker had a beer. The wine, beer and liquor selection is quite good. For dinner I ordered the chicken mole and my friends had salads. The portions were good, I took half of my chicken home. The vegetables that came with the chicken were a bit too greasy. Service was the highlight of the evening. My phone was dying and I asked if I could charge it somewhere, I had the cords but they offered me a power bank! That's being prepared! I would go back again! read more

So lets face it, there are not a lot of higher end modern type experiences in our area at least when it comes to Mexican food and this is perhaps our first experience as well. We comfortably live in the taco truck to lower mid level type eateries and have had killer luck. We really did not know what to expect. Reposado was a pleasant surprise. From the food with one exception, to the service to even the ambiance, it was a hit with the entire family. The item in question was the Caesar salad which simply needed more acid in the dressing. In the end the 4.5 stars got rounded up as the rest of the items were excellent. Ceviche De Atun: The tuna was fresh and well prepared. The little grapefruit wedges added a nice acid hit. The macha salsa added a nice bit of heat and texture to the dish. The fried plantain slices were fun to eat the tuna with. Gorditas Con Langosta: This was an interesting one. I have to be honest we got this at my sons request and when I looked at the description it looks like one of those too much going on apps. Boy was I wrong, these things were goooood... A small cornmeal boat provided the base, then a layer of flavorful beans appeared to be coarsely crushed. Then the lobster, perfectly cooked added a huge rich hit along with the crema. The guajillo sauce and pickled onion helped balance the overall richness of the dish. Datiles Rellenos: Defiantly not your average date. Stuff it with chorizo, machego cheese and wrap it in bacon. You have this perfect spicy, savory, smokey, and sweet bite. The cheese adds even more richness to the affair. The small salad / radishes paired nicely brings a fresh crunchy element. Caesar Salad: The individual ingredients were fantastic and fresh. The pepitas and roasted corn? Sign me up. The leaves, all inner presented whole! The dressing was a total letdown. It was bland to our palate, needed more anchovies and acid. It was just kind of there. We had two on the table and both were exactly as described above. This salad is about the dressing first and foremost. We asked for some limes and that helped a bit but not enough to salvage the dressing. Costilla: The braised short rib was perfect. not crumbling but just a gentle nudge with the fork to break off. Braised in the Adobo (why didn't I think of that) it added smokiness and a nice acid hit plus some heat. The beans... nom nom nom These were really good. Most palces the beans are at best a flavorless starch mess. There they had an almost lightness to them and were perfectly seasoned. Puerco Asado: A nicely grilled juicy pork chop. The pineapple habenaro sauce was a perfect amount of acid, sweetness and heat. It let you know it was in the neighborhood but did not blow out your taste buds. As we said before service was excellent and the food speaks for itself. Be forewarned the portion sizes are small. It is downtown and parking can lets face it be sucky. We also went early so had no issue just walking in. However, having driven by on a Friday I would reserve a table ahead of time. read more

Dining experience is gon' run up a bill in Palo Alto due to the cost of living +inflation in this part of the bay alone! Reposado was going to reflect that, but we came back for their signature tequila and the friendly customer service we always have even pre-pandemic! On any normal night this restaurant is packed and you have to wait to be seated, even at the bar. Last night, however, we just walked in to seat ourselves-- pretty quiet for 23rd of Dec! Sergio was our bartender and he was nice and engaged in short conversations. Even the bar back who said nothing to us, but exchanged nods and smiles was friendly enough.

The food here is delicious but the service is very questionable. We celebrated my friend's birthday here and got charged a cake cutting fee for no reason ($5 PER SLICE OF CAKE??). We disputed the charge (because no one even informed us we were going to get charges for bringing our own cake) and ended up not having to get charged for the cake cutting fee (because that's honestly kind of ridiculous). The environment is nice and good for dates. If the service charges weren't so ridiculous and odd I would give this place a 5 star rating. read more
