We were a family of 5 and we all ordered something different and everything was absolutely great. Cali burrito, steak fries, chicken flautas, and of course birria tacos; they were all so delicious. The atmosphere was perfect, I loved the ambient lighting and the little chandeliers they had. And the music playing was amazing I loved it so much. I definitely recommend this place to everyone and I will be coming here a lot more often.

The interior was cozy, having the finals game on was a great add along for my husband. Unfortunately my other visit wasn't this great. The food was amazing, the birria tacos the server recommended were absolutely amazing. The birria was very flavorful and I loved the hint of cilantro in it. The burrito was also very good, but it was huge! The food was amazing, but the service was over the top! (I asked my server for his name which he gave, but I cannot remember. He had glasses and black hair.) My server greeted me almost immediately even though it was packed inside, he sat us down and guided us through the menu, giving us the most popular options to go for. He recommended the birria tacos and really knew what he was talking about! We were checked on multiple times by him and it honestly made me feel like I was at home, absolutely loved it! Despite having so many things to attend to, he made sure we were one of them. On a bit of a negative note, when I visited for the first time last week around 11, the service wasn't as good. There was a different server and he was very dismissive, almost rude. I'm glad I came by and gave it another chance. It was amazing!

It rained Thursday. I made the trip to Thornton and ordered a regular burrito of carne asada. I…read morevisited four vendors since Sunday. The Gonzalez regular burrito is the tastiest I've ever eaten in Fremont. It is likely the best burrito in Fremont. The tortilla prep is unique and is tasty, browned, and (buttery). The carne asada was fresh, perfectly spiced, tender, a generously portioned. The pinto beans were whole, not overly cooked, and added a nice layer of flavor and texture. Spanish rice was perfectly cooked, not mushy, not bland, not too much or too salty. The spice blend, fresh leafy bits, and crunchy onion bits, set this typical burrito apart from the rest I've tasted, ever. In totality, this burrito is a multilayered flavor and texture experience. I recommend. Well done Grill Los Gonzales! Caution, the roasted chilly are experienced high level chilly eaters only.

If it's a weekday and between 10 AM and 6 PM (call to check as they sometimes close early when they sell out), go to Amelia's and try the Amelia's Taco Dorado (crunchy taco shell in a soft taco tortilla with the works of meat, guacamole, cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream and her own salsa). She also has regular street tacos and Tacos Supreme (comes with guac and sour cream). Hefty portions (she doesn't skimp on the guacamole or meat) and all of her prices are listed out. Best part? Call ahead to give your order to Juan and they'll have your order ready. We've ordered ahead while a few exits away on 880 and also at the start of the Dumbarton bridge. ============================== This has been on my radar since my colleague told me about the best tacos he'd ever had in the Bay Area including al pastor sliced off a trompo, but then Tacos Grill Los Gonzalez disappeared for a while from the Apex used car lot. They're finally back so we did the long trek over to try them twice. I might come back if I happened to be in the area and saw zero people in line, but otherwise, the wait time is too long. They are not lunch time friendly as orders take a while to come out. First visit, there were two people in front of us and we ordered four tacos. It was a 28 minute wait. Second visit, two people ordered in front of us plus one person who picked up their order right as we got there. We ordered six tacos and waited 37 minutes. That is very long for a food truck. The people in front of us were getting impatient and repeatedly asking for status updates. There are no prices listed anywhere so you have to ask about each item or order off of blind trust. The trompo seems to be gone and it appears they use bulk bagged "al pastor" now, or at least it looked and tasted like what you see when taquerias order large plastic bags of pre-sliced, red-dyed meat to grill up as needed. The paper wrapper around each taco is a must because the fresh made tortillas fall apart after one bite, even if you are eating within minutes of being handed your tacos. Other options nearby are Amelia's Kitchen Taco Truck on Decoto with plenty of parking before Regan Nursery, Tacos Sin Fronteras (another food truck) a block down on the same side of Thornton and Mi Lindo Sinaloa (sit down restaurant) on the opposite side of Thornton.

The hot sauces were amazing something for every spice level. Restaurant was nice and clean, the table we sat at was spotless. I will definitely be back as I believe I found my go to Mexican restaurant. Quesabirria not pictured because we devoured it... Whoops

We went with the vegetable option, it's still cheesy, of course, but didn't feel as heavy as it might have with the chorizo. I ordered the Tipico fajitas which comes with steak, chicken, and shrimp. I liked it overall, though it could have used a bit more seasoning. My partner had the mole and really enjoyed it, especially with the fresh corn tortillas served alongside the fundido and his entree. The restaurant itself is cute and quaint. It's usually pretty busy, but we've always managed to get seated right away. I also really love their house salsa, it's spicy, addictive, and seriously delicious.

I have only ever left 5-star reviews because I love supporting small businesses, but after tonight,…read morewe will no longer be supporting this spot. We have been loyal regulars here for a long time, coming at least once a week. Honestly, the main reason I kept coming back and always tipped well, even when the staff was sometimes just whatever, is because the guy who owns it is always so nice, friendly, and works incredibly hard. Unfortunately, his wife handled things tonight, and the service was absolutely horrible. We ordered a steak burrito, and let me tell you, the meat was completely inedible. It was just pure gristle in every single bite, to the point where we couldn't even chew it and only ate about a fourth of it. They also forgot to give us salsa with our chips. When we called to let them know about the meat, his wife started chopping up meat on her end, arguing with me, and insisting the food was perfectly fine and fresh. My wife, who is visibly 8 months pregnant, actually walked the burrito back into the restaurant just to show her the gristle. Because the lady said to bring it back show her. Instead of making it right or offering a simple switch for a chicken burrito like my wife had asked, she completely lacked empathy and flat-out said, "I can't remake your burrito." I called back to ask what could be done to fix this, and she started telling me to stop yelling at her. I wasn't yelling at all, my other baby was screaming in the background because my wife left the house to try and get the food fixed. She then hung up the phone on me. Apparently, she told my wife she even consulted her husband before refusing to fix it. It is so unfortunate that a business we supported weekly would treat regulars this way, but they have officially lost customers for life. The owner also said she was going to reply to me on here. Waiting for an explanation of how you turned away an 8 month pregnant lady?
