Down-to-earth taqueria with all the standard offerings. I was a big fan of their house made salsa — had a great spice level to it. Can’t go wrong with this place.

A small, cozy restaurant. We were returning from Yosemite and were really hungry. We were in the mood for Mexican food and found Mexcal on Google. We were not disappointed at all. Everything from the location, staff, menu and ambience looked authentic. Since the menu didn’t have a description of the dishes, we were searching on Google to understand what they are. I ate the Chili Verde (and, I highly recommend it!) which is one of the top dishes of this restaurant. I loved it! It was delicious. The pork curry had the right amount of tanginess (I usually don’t like really tangy food) and everything else on the plate complemented it perfectly. The Indian in me was happy to eat this dish. The rice portion is small so I ordered extra. Sadly, I couldn’t finish the pork curry as I was full by then. But, if I’m ever in this part of the world again, I’ll definitely eat here.
The servers were patient and welcoming. 5 stars for the food and the service.

Went there with my family to get burritos, we were Four. The two lady’s were just sitting at the table watching YouTube videos and looked bothered for us walking in. We ordered Four Burritos and Four large drinks and they charged us $83 and we had to ask for salsas and the waiter only gave us two small salsas for all four of us. The steak in the burrito was good but not THAT good.

March 2025: I used to frequent this place in 2017 (when my office was nearby.) The only thing that’s changed since then is the prices (but it’s the same everywhere, way up.)
But the quality of food and service are still excellent.
In the last few years, I’ve been to a lot of Mexican places near my home in Santa Clara, in search of “my comfort food”. But most don’t have good Enchiladas, or don’t give chips & salsa, or they whine about giving you extra salsa or chips or just refuse).
This place hasn’t changed a bit in this regard.
Warm smiles greeted us, the English-speaking woman came out to assist us when we needed help ordering, they asked us to be seated and brought out the chips & salsa (which they gladly replenished for me as I devoured it). Great spicy & super tasty salsa.
Enchiladas Vere had 4 enchiladas – with 3 kinds of meat options (I got two steak, pork, and chicken). All were freshly made.
The plate came with avocados in the salad, and fresh beans & rice.
Amazing that 8 years later, and the quality of food and service is still the same!
Loved coming here today.
(Only the prices are steep – but that’s true for every other place. So not sure what they or I can do about it.)

My daughter turned me on to this little hole in the wall while I was visiting Menlo Park. Very good food and great service

It’s one of the best Mexican food restaurants in the area. They offer many home style cooked meals, but I usually go on the weekends to eat their beef barbacoa. They serve it in tacos or as a stew in a bowl to which you can add the salsa, onion, cilantro and lime. In addition they provide hand made tortillas which is the best way to have it. With great service and ambiance it no wonder people keep coming back for more.

Really nice inside with the wall murals. Good service.Food-wise:
Chip N salsa excellent
Fish taco had good quality fish, tortillas are homemade but flour not corn and not that flavorful, missing cilantro
Ribs were good, can order again
Fish fillet same fish as in taco, good
Mojarra Frita looks good but turns out we don’t like mojarra.
Vegetables fresh. Was able to substitute peppers and onions with beans and rice.
Carnitas tostada.. excellent
Lengua tostada .. good. Asked for no cheese and no sour cream. They loaded it with avocados!
Next time see if they have corn tortillas. Would come back, good quality ingredients. Pretty low on flavor though had to add lots of salsa. Ask for limes and cilantro.

very excellent. tacos meat was tender and juicy. tacos itself were fresh and not too thick. prices are good for the size. place is not dingy, it is clean. would be nicer with more salsa choices. high on the list

Amazing food. Tortillas are served warm, which was such a pleasant surprise. We ate vegetarian dishes. Food was very tasty and enough quantity. The best was agua fresca ( pineapple), which everybody (kids and 2 of us) liked. The price is pretty cheap for the quality they offer. There was music on and a vendor visited us all with colorful trinkets to sell – best atmosphere I would say 🙂 Local gem I would say.
