"A quick, cheap lunch is not easy to come by in Menlo Park. But at Mexcal Taqueria, the $2.75 tacos are so good, you’d happily pay double for them. The carnitas are rich and tender with crisp edges, the al pastor offers a flavorful, slightly sweet kick, and everything lands on housemade tortillas that are soft and warm, with just the right amount of chew. The chile verde is a sleeper hit—slow-cooked pork in a tangy green sauce that’s pure comfort—and don’t skip the salsa bar, especially the bright, punchy green salsa you’ll wish you could buy by the quart." - Gabi Moskowitz
