If your dumb enough to order from this corrupt establishment do yourself a favor and order online so you know what your paying for. A super burrito that was supposed to be 13.99. Was actually 17$ and they do not have grilled chicken as advertised. The chicken seems only boiled and shredded. The description clearly tells you what the burrito comes with but forces you to choose add-ons that should already be included. Burrito wasn’t even good.
I brought my own container because I’m trying to avoid using plastic, and they were more than happy to accommodate my request. That kind of flexibility and environmental awareness really means a lot to me.
This place is actually farther from my home than other Mexican restaurants, but moments like this are exactly why I keep coming back. Great food is one thing, but a business that genuinely cares about its customers and the environment stands out.
Highly recommend supporting this kind of thoughtful, community-minded spot!
Very atmospheric, quaint and authentic. They have done a great job bringing street tacos into the main stream by chopping the meat to order and using hand made tortillas. There spicy sauces ARE SPICY! no watering them down for the gringos (me) but like a fine wine they grow on you with each bite especially true with the shredded beef a large departure from your classic carne esada but a signature dish with a long history in this establishment, my favorite actually. So CHECK EM OUT!!
There the one against the other with 7-8 of the same name Because There Good Differences and consistency.
The absolute best authentic Mexican tacos and food in the Bay Area. Homemade fresh tortillas, well seasoned meat, fast service, and the flavor here is second-to-none. Redwood City is a highly competitive marketplace for good authentic Mexican food, and this is one of the best in the Bay. As a Bay Area native, this place comes highly recommended, and is named on several websites as a place to try for good Mexican food, and I can see why. Detailed review follows:
[The Food]
The tacos, burritos, and other menu items are delicious. They make their own tortillas fresh which gives them the edge over the competition in the Bay Area. The meat is always good, well seasoned, and not overly greasy. The food here is what I would describe as Mexican street style and not what you’d find at fancy Mexican restaurants. What results is an authentic Mexican food experience. This is our favorite place to get tacos and any other Mexican food.
[Customer Service]
The customer service here is great. Mostly young employees, family run, and super friendly. Every-time we come here the cashier is super nice. The food is really fast too. We usually don’t wait more than 5 minutes for food.
[The Location]
Convenient location right off El Camino Real in Redwood City. Safe area, plenty of parking, and lots to do nearby. There’s a large “Redwood City” sign across the street which you can go take pictures of if you’re visiting as a tourist.
In conclusion, this is the BEST Mexican restaurant in the Bay Area. If you wanted to have more authentic Mexican food, I think you’d probably have to travel to Mexico to try it!
