We ordered delivery. They took a while to prepare the food, but maybe they were busy. The food is good for their prices. I have tried their steak teriyaki bowl and their tequila bbq chicken bowl. They were both good. I also tried their sweet platain. It is not bad. I will probably order from here again. Just make sure they get your order correct if you do delivery. read more

My wife and I disagree on few things, from where I should put my socks after I take them off to the importance of buying jewelry to Christina Ricci being pretty or not to the existence of California Barking Spiders. We can add The Treehouse to the list. I found this spot while looking for a lunch spot on our Cantor Arts Museum date, and she was a little disappointed to discover it was a on-campus college hangout. Me- it brought be back to my CSULB days, watching Jimmy Eat World and Strokes videos in between my Critical Race Gender Ideology class and Woke Indoctrination lab, so I felt right at home. It's certainly not fancy. With the back room roped off (likely on weekends), there's only one big room full of TVs and picnic tables. It's part of the Tresidder Memorial Union, and was designed to feel like a treehouse due to its elevated structure nestled in a grove of oak trees by Lake Lagunita. What brought me there was the menu, and nobody can argue it's not extensive, though it's mostly burgers and fries, pizza, and Mexican food, with many items not listed on the menu. You can also grab a $7 pint of Ben and Jerry's. The nacho fries were a big portion- I saved half of it. On my second visit (with friends, not the wife) the Smashburger and fries were decent. Both my wife (first visit) and friends (2nd visit) couldn't understand my attraction to the place, so I guess it's not for everyone. I guess I like an unpretentious place with decent choices, prices, and conveniences, like ... the free refills of Diet Dr. Pepper, tubs of ketchup instead of packets, free ranch, pico de gallo, and avocado salsa, and variety of hot sauces, ranging from tapatio and tabasco to Tears of a Butthole, as featured on Hot Ones. read more

The Treehouse - Leftovers - Mexican Near Me - Stanford, California

This is definitely a hangout spot catered to college students, and has that divebar/pizza joint feel that you might be more inclined to if you're on the younger end. They have a huge menu, serving everything from Mexican food to pizza to burgers, so if you're on campus and have a big group, this might have something that can satisfy anyone. I got a slice of pizza and taco to go, and the staff was nice and patient as we were deciding what to order. There weren't a lot of people when we went but I can imagine this place filling up quickly on weeknights (I imagine they're open late too). My pizza was just OK, I'm not a huge fan of thick crust and it was a little greasy for my liking. My taco was good, but my favorite thing about the order was probably the tortilla chips on the side. Overall, not a bad place to go if you want a quick bite but nothing special either. read more

The worst vibe possible. I came in with a good mood, left in a funk. The counter man obviously hates his job and his demeanor show it. There were 4 basic food items he didn't have. Very basic stuff, like butter. This level of customer service permeates the Stanford Campus. The food is OK, the vibe is horrid. read more

Took over thirty minutes to make my food and then it came out cold. No one told me that my food was ready and my order number was never announced, so I had no idea the food was ready. Food was cold by the time I got it. read more

Definitely a no-frills type of spot that provides solid food options. Recommend getting the pizza slices, quesadillas, or fries. Great outdoor seating options even for big groups. Service can sometimes be a bit slow especially if you're ordering something that is made to order and the line can get long around meal times. read more

I went here for lunch today and had an unpleasant experience with the cashier. The first time, I ordered a whole pizza, and the second time, a can of cola. I'm an Asian who studied and have lived in the US for 7 years. Both times I was speaking at a normal volume, the cashier responded with "Oh, what?" twice, with a face of difficulty in understanding my English, making it super uncomfortable to order. The entire ordering process is dismissive, the staff is unfriendly. I couldn't help but wonder if there was any race bias involved. It's disappointing to experience this, especially in a well-known university. I hope the restaurant ensures all customers are treated with the same level of respect. read more

In town, doing some work at the University on a Friday night, and need to find a place to grab a quick bite within walking distance of the hotel... Not necessarily an easy proposition. This spot looks like it would fill the bill, and it did. Nothing fancy, a college food court with beer, kind of vibe, but I enjoyed my burger just fine, and I heard that the pizza slice, which was immense, was good also. Decent beers. Can't go wrong with that! read more

Overall, we had a great experience here. The five stars isn't because this is Michelin star rated food or because there was some side show that delivered food to our table (spoiler alert, it's fast casual and they don't deliver food). The five star rating is because of our overall experience - quality of the food, huge number of options to meet anyone's palate (mexican food, indian dishes, pizza, breakfast foods), decent portion size, and solid service. There are lots of indoor and outdoor seating options, and they seem to have a few games that are typically on display. We stopped by in the summer, so things were very calm - our food came out quickly, there were no lines, and there was seating available everywhere. That said, they seem to have a really well integrated online ordering system. We ordered the following, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. * Nacho Fries - I decided to order without meat (which is very odd and rare for me), and boy and I glad I did. It was an explosion of taste. The flavors blended well together, and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Absolutely delicious! * Taco Plate - chicken taco, carnitas taco, and double order of rice (instead of beans & rice) * As a side note, they offered two self-serve salsas which were both delicious. As someone who likes spice (but not crazy burn), they were not hot at all, but really added good flavor. I really appreciated how the taco plate was customized for my son without any issue. He is not a fan of beans, and he really wanted two different types of tacos. The man behind the counter took the order with no problems at all. I was eyeing their pizzas while waiting. Those look fantastic as well. They are NY style, my favorite. You can create your own, or order from a few of their "standard" offerings which all looked delicious. You can also order individual slices, but you'd better fold them in half and eat them NY style while walking out! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and give them a try (or several tries to get a sense for their wide variety). read more

The Treehouse - Nacho Fries- Plain Taco - Carnitas Taco - Grilled Chicken - Mexican Near Me - Stanford, California

I am a pretty huge fan of this restaurant; with it being on a college campus, the menu offers many different options ranging from pizza, burgers, Mexican, Indian, asian and more. The pricing of all items is extremely reasonable and affordable for college students. The overall ambiance of this place is very nice, there's a lot of different seating options, and many TVs and decorations. One of the workers here complimented my hoodie which was very kind of him. The food is not of the highest quality, but I haven't ever really been too disappointed with the taste of anything I have ordered. (4.5) read more

The food at this spot is ok. Not bad for the price. Issue is the customer engagement. No smiles. No thank you, no "we'll be right with you". Just a bunch of dudes that look at you like you're an interruption. Stop by there recently and walked up to a cash register. Two guys behind the counter. On the right was busy but closest to the register, so it was the so I went to the left cash register since he was close to it. . The usual, no acknowledgment. He didn't say anything. So another guy walks in and makes his way to the other cash register on my right. They tiook his order... OK, might've been a mistake but I know they ignored me rather than asked me if I needed help. So I left treehouse and went to coho, again. I'm not the only one, my group of coworkers always avoid it because we take consideration if they don't care about customers, they probably don't care about the food. So, who knows what you're getting. Hoping that you guys consider customer service being one of the number one things that will keep your customers coming back. As mentioned, your food is not bad. read more

Often visited, the taco served here is great and the beer also. Great place to refresh myself after work and whenmiss the time of the dining hall read more

I really enjoyed this food court and this sports bar. It's super convenient for the students and Stanford staff from all over. I ordered their jalapeño burger which was pretty big; meat patty was thick and full of juice. They also served a side of fries! This whole meal was only $6.95! Way cheaper than I expected and big in portion. Me and my co workers definitely had a good time here. I do want to come back and sip on some beer or wine while watching a football game. I'm sure it's pretty live and a fun place to be in during Stanford football games. They have a large variety of food on their menu here and the setup reminds me of Crepevine where everything is laid out on the wall (the menu). Their service is friendly and the orders come out pretty quick. I am definitely coming back! read more

delicious variety of food options. great mexican and pizza. good selections of drinks and frozen margaritas too.

Awesome! I love. love their food! My favorites are the enchiladas and the veggie tree burger with grilled onions, and cheddar cheese! The fries the lady time were cold, but they are always willing to correct any items that aren't to our liking, so hot fries were perfect upon request. Thanks Treehouse! We will return! Go! read more

Caliente es spicy! Ordered: - Spicy Burger $7.95 - Chicken Jalapeno Burger $7.50 Tina's Triggers and Thoughts - Spicy burger was super good! It has the tri-tip blend and it's seasoned beautifully with Thai chili peppers and it comes with fries! This burger comes with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and thousand island sauce. - Campus place is poppin'! Very hip and crowded for lunch when people come to watch the games on their flat screen TV - Owner or worker was super nice when I asked for suggestions - Cheap for me and the students! Glad to have something like this located in Tressider Union read more

This is a good place to eat for a campus restaurant. As a student, it is conveniently located in tressider center and has a very large menu. Personally I think the pizza slices are delicious, but you have to get lucky with your timing because they aren't always available. It is a bit pricey given that it's in the center of a college campus. However if you are not already on Stanford's campus, this wouldn't be a place to seek out. read more

As an alum, realized that this is low key the best 'beer garden' in the Palo Alto area, aside from Zots (which is always packed). Treehouse has tons of outdoor seating and is next to a field where the kids can run around. read more

I made a last-minute decision on a Friday night with my friends to catch up and get dinner together, so we decided on a location on campus that we could all easily get to. Causal, inexpensive, and generous portion sizes, it was a satisfying meal to the end of a long week and the perfect place to talk and catch up. Food: - Baja Fish Taco--$3.25 The pastor marinated tilapia fish was super tender and complemented the crisp and fresh vegetables in the taco. I liked the sweet and cooling pineapple relish on top that paired well with the spicy salsas. - Chorizo and Potato Taco--$2.95 Lots of chorizo and potato pieces that made the taco super hearty. The barrio sauce on top was flavorful and added even more flavor to the spicy chorizo. Tips: - Make sure to get a receipt that has your number for your food on it. Listen to your number and go up to the window to get your food. - Salsas, jalapeños, utensils, napkins, condiments, and water are all by the window to pick up food. - Lots of seating inside and outside! read more

Mexican food is decent there, as remembered when dining as a graduate student 20 years ago as on a recent visit. Asian dish over rice left much to be desired--could use some work learning the basics of Asian cuisine. read more

Yum yum! It's like they have the best of both worlds there! Burgers, pizza, and Mexican food with a twist~ My friend and I got 4 tacos for 99 cents each and 1 Thai chicken burrito to split. I was expecting something else for the tacos. They're served on soft tortillas with some lettuce and lime. No tomatoes? I LOVED the burrito though. It was an interesting fusion of rice, pineapple, and chicken. I would love to come here for lunch every day if only it weren't so far of a walk for me. I think next time I'm going to try their pizza that they're supposed to be famous for. Be aware that lunch time the lines are long and the service isn't actually speedy. read more

Really fun place to get food, lot's of good memories here! The food is alright, but so are the prices. The outdoor patio is a lot of fun! I always get a salad, but beware the chicken might be a little dry. read more

The burritos are good. Pizza does well in a pinch. Interesting assortment of world cuisines.

Treehouse has delicious pizza. They have Indian and Mexican food as well! This may sound iffy but they do it all well. Give it a try!

Wide selection of food to choose from. I really like the specialty burritos. Open often and never a long wait!

Treehouse has very nice ambiance. Really good place to enjoy a good lunch especially on a sunny day

The pizza is always good. It's always come here after classes. It's a great deal especially here on campus.

I love the pizza and mango lassi! However I'm frustrated they don't accept Cardinal Dollars. I've asked for a year and despite saying they will "soon" they never have :( Still love it and enjoy the outdoor seating! read more

I absolutely loved their squared pizza. I used to buy it every day before the pandemic. However, I visited this place a few months ago and they had a completely different style of pizza. The old pizza that I loved had a thick crust and a garlic taste. The squared slices of pizza would always be the first item that was displayed right when you entered the restaurant. (This wasn't the case when I visited a few months ago). They used to sell these squared slices of pizza before the pandemic but it seems like they changed their menu. My last visit was a few months ago, but I plan to visit soon because I'm hoping other customers requested the restaurant to bring their old pizza back. read more

Good food at an affordable price. Line was pretty long but it moved fast. We ordered the Mexican veggie quesadilla for $7 and two chicken tacos at $2.50 each. Also got the mango lassi (good, but probably not worth $4.50). Overall, would definitely come again. read more

I have been going to the Tressider and Treehouse since I was a child as my mom and two aunts work at Stanford. I hadn't been in a while until yesterday before the upsetting Stanford versus Utah game but I digress. I ordered a combo taco plate - one shrimp and one fish which comes with rice and beans for $8. Both the fish and shrimp came with pineapple which I could do without however they were both super tasty! My mother ordered a carnitas bowl which also came with rice and beans for $7. Carnitas was flavorful and portions were big especially for the price point. We also ordered the watermelon chia drink and the horchata which were about $3-4 each. I would pass on the horchata but the watermelon chia was refreshing and made me feel healthy lol. Their menu is extensive! Prices are super affordable for the amount and quality of food the give you! The cashier who helped us was kind! Will continue to be a go-to place besides (GSB and Coupa Cafe) for my family and I when we're on campus. read more

Probably not the best or fanciest place on campus, but food is good, there are many options on the menu, and portions are big.

UPDATE- Sooo happy! They listen to their customers, amazing! Changes were made to the menu so that the original favorites are back and even better. The online ordering system and website is also improved. Can't wait to go back. read more

on campus next to coho. nice cardinal burger however the spicy tikka masala burrito not a very classic flavor. however place is great to enjoy the on campus outside read more

Canteen style self service lunch spot. They offer great options for both Indian, Mexican and American grub. Try their kale and bean salad with Mexican sauces... you will love it and feel less guilty especially after a 5 mile hike at the dish loop nearby. Tried their Phaal curry on my last visit and it's definitely not for the faint hearted. It contains lots of paprika but that's about it. Parking is pretty easy as I always get the EV charging parking spot right next to the bike shop. read more

Generous and filling portions! Went here to eat after my hike at the Dish and the prices were great for the amount of food they give you. Located at the Stanford campus with many other food options, you can find this place tucked away in the corner. You order at a counter, pick up the food on your own and you can leave your plates and silverware at a cart with bins in it. Got a chicken teriyaki bowl, yum! It had veggies, pineapples, rice and of course chicken. The rice portion was a lot more than the chicken though. Also got the garlic fries which were okay, the garlic tasted a bit watered down. I'd come back if I was visiting the Stanford campus again, but would probably eat elsewhere instead! read more
