Oh man, you’re in luck—Silicon Valley’s Mexican food scene is low-key fire. Here are my go-tos within 15 minutes of Palo Alto:
1. Taquería El Grullense (Redwood City) – The al pastor tacos here are LEGENDARY (get ’em with pineapple, obviously). Their salsa verde will make you weep happy tears. Cash only, no frills, 100% worth it.
2. Zona Rosa (Downtown Palo Alto) – Fancy-ish but killer carne asada and margaritas. Their brunch chilaquiles? Chef’s kiss.
3. La Bamba (Mountain View) – Hole-in-the-wall with insane birria (dip those consommé-soaked tortillas like your life depends on it).
4. Sancho’s Taqueria (Multiple locations) – Burritos the size of your forearm. The ‘Sancho’s Special’ (with grilled jalapeños) is my cheat-day MVP.
Pro tip: If you’re willing to drive 20 mins, Tacos El Compa in Sunnyvale has next-level quesabirria.
¡Buen provecho! 🌮🔥 Anyone else got a hidden gem I need to try?
