“I live on the east bay but work in the peninsula. Was craving birra tacos and found them on yelp. My husband has food allergies but was willing to try the chicken soft tacos. I brought everything home across the 92. He didn't have an allergic reaction! He loved them so much, he asked me to buy them again afterwards work the next day! The birra tacos were delicious as well! The consume (dipping) is really good! Everything was wrapped nicely and still warm by the time I got home. The second day I tried a chicken burrito and that was delicious as well! I highly recommend!“

“My favorite Mexican food around. Everything I’ve tried is delicious and fresh. I don’t eat meat but the fish and vegetarian options have been amazing.I love their fish tacos … fresh fish and the flavors are so fresh with mango and avocado and just the right amount of salsa, so it doesn’t cover the flavor of each ingredient which I think that’s the problem at some other places. Their aguachiles was mouthwatering and had a nice kick ?️ but they adjusted the spice level to my weak palate ? still had a kick! Their Gordita’s was my latest order. They have a vegetarian option with papas and nopales (that option isn’t available online but no problem on the phone or in person. I think there are less options online tho).They’re also kind and welcoming, great customer service. And todos hablan español y siempre me atienden genial.Will go back anytime I want Mexican food.“

“Amazing food. You cannot miss this if you love Mexican food. Authentic flavor, real salsa, fresh cilantro and onions. and the team is super nice. Makes me feel like I am back in Mexico at my favorite taqueria. I come here once a week for lunch and it always hits the spot. I love the californiana style quesadillas - such a bang for the buck. The Califas taco is like a mini “sincronizada” and it is such a tasty take on how to serve up a taco. CANNOT MISS: the barbacoa. Only place I have found in the Bay that serves up homestyle barbacoa like this - not fatty and full of flavor. Lots of parking here at the gas station where the food truck is, and good prices for the size of the tacos.Vegetarian options: Veggie tacosParking: Super easy to find a spot here to park“

“First time at this place. Was at the nearby Walmart, searched for Chile Verde, and this place showed up under the former name (Greenland Market). After reading reviews I felt this was the spot for me on this day. I'm glad I went with my instinct.Disclaimer, having only been here once I can only review what I had but I have high hopes for the other things after talking to someone who might be the boss.I had the Chile Verde plate and it was excellent. This is a standard dish I order at every place and use it to gauge whether I return or not. This place knocked it out of the park. Unlike most places that simply stew the pork, this place uses what must be their carnitas. It has that roasted flavor and the meat is succulent and super tender. The rice has good flavor, the salsa they provide has a kick, tortillas were tender and hot.I live about 45 minutes from this place but I will drive all the way here when I am not willing to compromise, and want great, not just good, Chile Verde.“

“I like their food. I'm still trying to find my favorite thing from here. They come to my apartment complex occasionally. I think of the things I've tried, the shrimp burrito is my favorite. Their shrimp is so plump and cooked perfectly. Perfectly cooked shrimp is like a unicorn, and they nail it!Their ordering/pick up system stresses me out. They don't give you a number or take your name, you just have to remember who was in front of you or hope they remember your face with your order. I was given the wrong order once and numbers/names could totally solve this so I don't get it!“

Carne Asada

“Title: Delicious Tacos with a Convenient Location, but Pricey and Lacking in Customer ServiceEl Grullense has been my beloved dining spot for many years, and it never fails to impress with its awesome food and delightful flavors. The tacos they serve are bursting with tasty goodness and an incredible array of flavors that keep me coming back time and time again. The taste is consistently outstanding, showcasing the culinary expertise that defines this establishment.However, it's hard to overlook the pricing issue. Over the years, the cost of their tacos has steadily risen, nearing the $4 mark when ordering Lengua tacos. While the flavors justify some premium pricing, the higher costs make it a bit challenging to enjoy these delectable treats as frequently as one might desire.Moreover, I must acknowledge that El Grullense falls short in terms of customer service. The employees can be a bit rude, lacking the warm and welcoming demeanor that enhances the dining experience. It would greatly benefit the establishment to invest in improving their customer service, making each visit a more enjoyable and pleasant experience.Furthermore, requesting extra condiments seems to be met with confusion or disapproval. A more accommodating approach towards fulfilling customer requests for additional toppings would enhance the overall experience and leave patrons feeling more satisfied.Nonetheless, one of the standout advantages of El Grullense is its convenient location. Situated in an excellent area, it offers accessibility and ease for diners, making it a go-to spot for those seeking a quick and tasty meal.In summary, El Grullense offers delicious tacos with an impressive range of flavors and a convenient location. However, the rising prices, lacking customer service, and difficulty in obtaining extra condiments detract from the overall experience. If you're willing to overlook these downsides, it's worth a visit for the flavorful tacos.“

“These are my absolute favorite tacos in the Bay Area. They have a northern Mexican style more specifically Mazatlan, Sinaloa style tacos that are to die for!I ordered a carne asada and al pastor taco with everything (red onion, salsa, cilantro) on flour tortillas (YES, THEY HAVE GOOD FLOUR TORTILLAS) and Jamaica water (hibiscus).The carne asada taco was delicious: they have real thick-cut steak ASADA perfectly seasoned with excellent flavor.The al pastor was equally delicious: perfect marinated meat with small pineapple pieces in every bite! I added some guacamole to this one (they have a great toppings/salsa section).The Jamaica tastes homemade (not the powdered stuff which is often too sweet), theirs is so refreshing and natural.I wish I lived closer to visit this place often. Everything is on POINT. Service was superb very kind family run I believe it is husband and wife.“
