““Experience” lunch was advertised on Open Table but not mentioned in the restaurant. We asked askedour server said they were no longer offering it. Because we asked, we were able to get the deal! Food was very fresh; tacos served with a variety of sauces - they should be labeled! Waiters don't write down orders to enter into the electronic ordering system. He had to ask twice and there was an error in one order, which they promptly corrected. We were there during a quiet time and service was very attentive.“
“Recommendations: All dishes! They’re good! Me? I was looking for Steak Fajitas.Server did great with leading me to fajitas options under Shrimp Fajitas. Perfect! I had myself Steak Fajitas. Great portion comes with tortillas rice, beans, and the work.The atmosphere is culturally AWESOME! Place is beautiful.Their service timing is above and beyond.“
“Best part was the tequila shot and beer -- no complaints on the bar. Food was good, nothing special. Onions: if you are allergic, beware -- they made my tacos without onion but the salsa still had onion (not just the pico but the roasted salsa too which because it had been cooked hard had the allergy part cooked out but I was still cautious a new item for me)“
“We treated ourselves to a nice dinner at Reposado. The food and the beverage were perfect: pancitta appetizer and pollo con mole for me, and ensalada Cesar appetizer and crepas con mariscos for my wife. We match those with margaritas (spicy for me, and classic for my wife). The waiting staff was attentive and efficient. The noise level was relatively high, which is typical for this place.“
“This is a great Mexican place to dine on California Street. With that street closed for Al fresco dining, there are plenty of parking spots available in the adjacent streets with a free parking garage as well. I went there with my family on a Thursday evening for dinner. The place was relatively full and it was easy to get a table. We got ourselves Chicken Chalupas, Enchiladas Al Chipotle with chicken and Camarones a la diabla. The delivery was quite fast with the chalupas arriving within 10 minutes. There were 3 chalupas there and each tasted unique in its own flavor. The enchiladas were usual as I would expect them to be with chipotle sauce. The highlight of the dinner was the Shrimp dish with quite a kick of spicyness. For people with less interest in spicy food, this dish might not be for you. However, I liked it a lot and tasted quite unlike anything I have tried in Mexican cuisine. Overall, this place is a must try and we had great experience dining here.“
“We stopped by here randomly and had steak and chicken tacos. It was very delicious even though I do recommend the beef taco more. The spicy sauce is pretty spicy, but I highly recommend it. I definitely recommend having the tacos with the sauce.“
“The best carnitas tacos around. Moist, juicy slow roasted and tender. Good portions. Two will do. Other meat and chicken are good as well. Very consistent and the Chef has been there for years. He loves his work and always has a smile for everyone.“
“It has been a while since we have eaten here. My brother ordered his usual carnitas plate, I ordered chile relleno a la carte and an elote. The carnitas were a little salty but with rice, salad and beans balanced it out. The chile relleno was big, I was glad I did not get the plate with rice and beans. The corn was nice, a little sour, the cotija is usually the flavor that I like to taste. Service is nice and efficient.“
“This is the Best, freshest Mexican food I've eaten in Palo Alto, Peninsula and South Bay. Definitely underrated! I've been to many restaurants and Lulu's is by far the best. After eating this you can feel your body energized with excellent nutrition. I can't believe how many people give poor reviews that have absolutely nothing to do with the quality of food nor the customer service. I been to this place about a dozen times and every time I visit, Always consistent, fresh and delicious. Erica and the crew are always welcoming and friendly. I worked in the restaurant industry for 25+ years and the service is always impeccable. ? I came in today to buy food for my family whom my sister is at Stanford ICU and Erica was truly compassionate about my sister's well being. I wish there was more people like Erica who love what they do and show care for others in the world. I want to express my gratitude to all of the team and Erica for showing love to my family and delivering the quality of food they produce to keep us healthy. I'll be forever customer for now on! Thank you Lulu's for hiring a wonderful friendly staff. They treat you like family and that's the kind of family/business I rather give my money to. Once again Thank you from heart to yours! Stay Blessed“
“Six stars! After greeting us, our waiter asked if we had any allergies--so appreciated since I have celiac. He told me they are careful about cross-contamination, don't use shared friers, and can make most things on the menu gluten free (menu is well-marked, too). Our tastey food and drinks came out almost immediately, and we weren't sitting around forever waiting to pay when we were ready. The whole staff was cheerful, the space had cool decorations, and the interior was naturally lit. Such a nice date brunch spot.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan marked on the menu, plenty of optionsDietary restrictions: Gluten free marked on the menu, plenty of options, celiac friendly kitchen practices“
