The food is wonderful. My only complaint with a place is that it is pricey, and maybe overpriced for what it is. That said, it is very very delicious food. We came here for happy hour. I would say the happy hour selections are not terrific. We were happier when we got a table and ordered off the regular menu. The appetizer that is simply melted cheese is marvelous. And the tacos were delicious, but as I said probably overpriced. And the desserts were lovely. I hope this place makes it, but I think they need to have a better happy hour with good deals.

Upscale Mexican food, very tasty. Service is super nice. Great place! A bit pricey, but this is Palo Alto after all.

Great brunch spot! Delicious food, and spacious outdoor seating to enjoy with your pup! If you’re vegetarian, get the taco verde or the chilaquiles!

Our new favorite brunch place. We will go back to try their breakfast burrito and more. We shared the pancake which was delicious. I had the chicken mole tacos and hubs had the egg avocado breakfast sandwich with potatoes. We both had the Mexican Olla coffee. All delicious. Highly recommend.

My friend and I wanted to be healthy and opted for a salad. I added Salmon and my friend chose chicken. The salmon was a generous portion and served with a glaze. The flavors of the salad, the dressing, and the salmon went perfectly together. My friend loved the chicken. The portions were generous and we had enough left over to take home. The biggest surprise were the cocktails. Beautiful to look at and delicious to the taste. I’m already planning my return visit to try other entrees

We hosted a large, celebratory family dinner here and our experience was exceptional. The drinks are fabulous — I had the mussels, vegetarian lasagna, and creme brûlée (all fantastic). The service was impeccable, and they really took care of us and made sure we were comfortable. Camila, also, was professional and her expertise showed — beyond expectations (as were the servers + staff). Highly recommend coming here and enjoying the food and atmosphere. Our night couldn't have been better!

Absolutely delicious restaurant/bar that is a great place for a happy hour. Great for those that don’t plan ahead since they don’t take reservations so we were able to be seated for a party of 4 with no wait at 6pm on a Thursday. There were still a couple of empty tables there as well. Food was delicious, appetizer portions are a little pricey and on the smaller side but the entrees are well sized, good value and everything is absolutely delicious. Plenty of drink options as well.

Holy smokes this place was awesome. Great cocktail, and my bar tender Josue was superb. A trendier, more upscale version of Mexican food but without sacrificing flavors or the hominess or authenticity.

We found this place on a last minute trip. We went on a Sunday when there was a farmers market along the streets which was a nice surprise but be aware the streets are closed to cars. There is a free public parking garage just a short walk away so no issues there. We sat inside but there is a lovely outdoor seating area as well. We were seated right away. Our wait person was also a bartender, Josue. He was super friendly and since it was our first time there we had a lot of questions, he answered them and gave us excellent recommendations. We ordered a lot of food for 2 people because we wanted to try different things! The drinks here are top notch and Josue has a true art and love for bartending. I told him to surprise me on one drink and it was perfection in presentation and flavor. The chilaquiles were delicious, the sauce is flavorful and light. The pancake had an orange flavored butter which enhanced it to a new level. Everything we had was full of flavor and light which is not always the case with Mexican food. This place is authentic and uses high quality ingredients which are also reflected in their drinks. The decor was also super cool, had a brujeria vibe! Definitely put this place on your list. Some may think it's pricey but for the area and the quality we thought the prices were right.

Overall I'd give this place 3.5 stars: 4 stars for the food and 3 stars for the service. We came here for weekend brunch and I ordered the Omelette Ahogado. The dish itself was very aesthetically pleasing and very good. The flavors were not too heavy and it was not too salty. I really enjoyed the sauce. One thing that added much stress to the brunch was that at the beginning, one of the servers knocked over a whole glass of water onto my phone. Afterwards, the staff was more careful but the water did splash onto me from time to time. Understandably it was a very busy and popular brunch spot so I get the service was rushed. On that note though, we did get rushed out quite quickly, so I ended up just packing up the rest of my omelette to eat at home. I liked the dish I ordered but I'm not sure this is a place I'd go to if I wanted to relax a bit for brunch.

Solid Mexican cuisine. Their pozole verde is delicious even though it's a vegetarian dish. Lots of ingredients and very flavorful. I would give it an 8/10. Now if they have a non-vegetarian version and put some chicken or pork in this soup, it would get a solid 10 from me. Their corn soup (Sopa de Elote) is really solid also. It's more simplistic. Unlike the pozole verde, it's not as hearty with chunks of stuff in it. It appears more bisque-like in consistency but the flavors are on point. It's delicate but very tasty. Empanadas were good. I've had better but this one still ranks high compared to the many types of empanadas I've tried previously at different restaurants. Their queso fundido is also quite delicious. This dish is the epitome of a gooey cheese appetizer. It comes out piping hot and is so good with chips. Crème brûlée was solid, but then I've never had a terrible crème brûlée before. I've had average to stellar ones. This one was good. Customer service was excellent. Very courteous staff. Environment was comfortable and welcoming. Nice bar. Parking can be found on the street and there are also public parking garages nearby.

Stopped by for brunch on a Saturday, and Sun of Wolf was decently empty. We ordered the mole tacos (delicious and large portioned), the egg sandwich (tasty with a super toasted bun), and the bananas fosters pancakes. The pancakes were a bit heavy and needed more syrup but otherwise good. For drinks, we got their hibiscus margarita and blood orange mimosa. Service was friendly and attentive, and food comes out pretty quickly. Pricing was not cheap but what you'd expect in Palo Alto.

Yelp
Delicious fusion Mexican food. Ordered the Chorizo Scramble and the Chilaquiles. Flavor of food was good, portions were decent sized; pricing is in line with what you get here in Palo Alto! Chorizo had great flavor and the scramble was delicious; the homemade salsas paired well. Pass on the Chilaquiles; it was kinda like soggy fritos with eggs. Not worth ordering for the future.

Outstanding breakfast. Dishes and ingredients were excellent and the service was very attentive by the very friendly Abraham. Will definitely recommend this place to others.

Came here for brunch on a weekend and got promptly seated. Service was so friendly. A super kind woman came up just to ask if I had any questions while I waited on a friend. Our server was also great! I got the cafe de la olla and fried egg sandwich, no bacon. While my friend got the cazuela de chicharrones and Mexican hot chocolate. We both absolutely loved our meals. My coffee was not that strong but really tasty. The fried egg sandwich is made with homemade brioche and was beyond incredible. We also got a single hotcake to share but were both so full from our meals that we ended up taking it home. The only downside was that we were seated right by the open door so it could a bit chilly and the price point is a bit steep but I would definitely come back as a treat!

Just popped in for an appetizer and some drinks. The queso fundido was delicious with chips and the tortillas. The chicka fresca drink was also very tasty. Loved our server Carlos! He was very attentive and personable. We will be back for a full meal next time.

Omg, we came here last Sunday morning and this place didn't disappoint. The food was amazing. I'm always in search of refried beans that a vegetarian can eat and guess what?! They have them! They were also delicious. Chips and salsa were so fresh, I could have just ate only that. The bananas foster pancakes had an awesome compound butter. Service was good, food came out quick after we ordered. We sat outside and the farmers market was going on, so we even got to enjoy live music. I will definitely be back. Patio is also pet friendly!

I came here in 2022 and didn't remember I came here until I started clearing out old photos recently. I felt like I have amnesia, but the photos I took made me hungry. Judging from the photos I took, this must have been a really great restaurant. I'd come back and refresh my memory of Sun of Wolf.

The food left me speechless and was so flavorful and amazing. the carnitas were so juicy but had some nice crispy ends. paired with some perfectly seasoned bean, salsa, and tortillas. the drink was perfect, very flavorful. the service was amazing, very attentive, and gave some great recommendations. the ambiance was perfect for date nite. will be back soon.

My overall experience at Sun of Wolf was fantastic. Being greeted right away as well as the amazing service that the bartender provided. The food was really amazing as well, especially the mole tacos. The mole wasn't too sweet and was really well balanced. I saw they had queso fundido and I had to get it as well! Def a hitter. The cocktails were amazing as well and very beautiful. This restaurant is slightly pricey, but you are receiving quality ingredients as well as top notch service. The decor of the restaurant was really aesthetic and could see the time put into making this place look pleasing to the eye. With how many decorations placed into the restaurant, it still maintained a very modern touch as well. I would definitely recommend people to try this place out.

The reviews were so nice and there was a lot of people eating here. Ambiance was super nice. Why haven't I been here before? You have to love a Mexican coke out of the bottle. You can't go wrong. I don't recommend the aqua Fresca, tasted like it was out of a mix. I live to eat. I can't eat as much as I did in my younger days so we shared two appetizers and one entree. Queso fundido, melted cheese with chorizo and rajas, and served with their huitlacoche tortillas which is a corn mushroom tortilla. It's good for you. Cheese was melted, not much flavor. The other appetizer was the Albondigas, beef & pork meatballs, braised tomato sauce, creamy poblano pepper polenta, shaved machengo cheese. It was the best out of the three dishes. We shared the carnitas plate. It was okay. Normally, I like to get dessert but the dishes here were just okay and I didn't want an okay dessert so I passed. They had good business so maybe it's just me.

It's a good vibe, pretty decor, but tbh the food is pretty mid. I'd recommend for drinks, not sure if they have a happy hour.

Came here on a Friday night and was able to get a table in 5-10mins. We orderd Sangria and some cocktails to start with. Drink were very good. For food, we orderes Queso which was super dry and bland. We oreder Pozole Verde, which was good and worth trying here. We also got their chicken salad- will not recommend this. Chicken was slightly undercooked and tasted ok. Was underwhelmed by their most recommended dessert- Guava bomb. Overall disappointmented by the food. Service and Ambiance was great

This is one of my favorite spots in Palo Alto for Mexican food. Quality of food is great, super cute ambience, and service is always amazing. Carlos and Kamilla are the best. And Josuey the bartender, really knows his stuff and makes the best cocktail. Their veggie lasagna is a MUST! The flavors are amazing. We are also fans of pozole, and flautas

Yelp
Came here for brunch and I have to say that everything was great including service and low wait times. The brunch itself though was okay. We had chips and salsa which were a little too oily for us and the small portion was $6. The mimosas with blood orange were pretty good but again, I'd rather do unlimited at another brunch spot. For food, order the mole tacos. Their mole was really the only good thing here. My friend did not like his crispy pork dish he called them "stones" and they were too hard to chew through. The breakfast burrito was lacking flavor and felt too bland and we needed to put salsa on every bite. An average brunch here will end up coming out kind of expensive as well.

With SUN of WOLF, it's hard to find the right words to describe it without setting unrealistic expectations. The food is hearty and delicious! As I'm celiac, it's obvious how many yummy options I have to choose from. Also, the servers are all very pleasant and knowledgeable. The only downside you can run into is that it can get very busy. Don't hesitate to order anything on the menu, for example the black beans or roasted jalapeños, as well as their killer empanadas or mole tacos.

Amanda V.

Yelp
Came here with some friends who love Mexican food. You won't find burritos here, but you will find some unique offerings. I chose the maja lasagna and my husband got the tacos verdes. Portion sizes were small. Chips and salsa are not included, and salsas were very underwhelming. Food was not spicy and it did not seem that spicier salsas were available. The tacos were more interesting than the lasagna, but both were pretty good. Prices are steep, especially for the portions (and there aren't any side dishes included). On the plus side, there are actual vegan and vegetarian options. Service was fast and helpful. There are even high chairs available if you come with a baby or toddler. Even though we came right when they opened, we were seated right next to another party. The lack of space between the other party made it hard to hear people sitting across for me, which was disappointing. There was definitely space for us to have been seated further away and have less background noise.

Came here for dinner on a Thursday and we were seated immediately - which was great! The place is much smaller than I thought but the high ceilings make it feel like there's a lot of space. The vibes were interesting, a mix of Mexican decorations + Buddhas everywhere. Once we were seated, our sever came to give us the menu. I was surprised to see only a few options for main dishes - I wish they had more options for tacos lol. I ended up getting the chicken enchiladas. They were served with crispy cheese on the outside of the tortilla and the sauce + chicken on the inside with a side of slaw. The portion was HUGE!! I was def full and had to pick out some of the tortilla. Overall I thought the food here was just ok. I would come back and try the drinks and different dishes or other tacos they have.

03/10/23 - SUN of WOLF Came here on a Friday night and got seated right away. We sat outside which was nice because they have lots of outdoor heaters. The staff were attentive and friendly. We started with drinks, Year of the earth dog & Mexican mule Both of the drinks were perfect in my opinion. I didn't think they were too strong or sweet. The only downside is the price but it's standard for the area. We ordered the queso fundido and quesadillas. The dishes we ordered tasted okay. What stood out the most is the presentation of the food. We definitely weren't blown away by the flavors. Overall the high prices didn't make the food worth it. I'll definitely order something new the next visit.

Yum! Came here for Saturday brunch around noon as we were craving Mexican food. This spot is on the busy California Ave in Palo Alto which is blocked off for sidewalk tables. We ended up sitting inside but there is also plenty of patio seats where you can people watch. We started with an OJ and the blood orange mimosa - the mimosa comes unmixed (they give you a bottle of brut and a glass of juice) which is nice if you want to control the juice to bubbly ratio yourself. For food we got the carnitas hash which was great which large pieces of carnitas and a great green salsa to pour on top. I appreciated the spinach and zucchini to lightened up the hash. My friend got the mole chicken tacos which was super yummy.

Stopped by SUN of WOLF after a alumni social event and was glad to do so! My partner and I had been eyeing this place for month and decided today was the day we'd stop by since we were so close to the restaurant! It's a lovely spot to have a date and get your Mexican brunch fix! Although I didn't quite understand how to eat my meal, it seemed like a deconstructed taco of some sort (paid extra for their homemade tortillas), it was actually delicious and a nice light brunch meal to have! The green salsa had a nice acidic and slightly spicy (very mild spice) taste that cut the cattiness of the chicharron that was simmered in the salsa! The refried bean (dip?) bowl was nice and creamy. What I really enjoyed was the vinaigrette that coated the salad on the side. It made me feel not so bad for having chicharron so early in the morning, lol. The sausages were an additional add on for my partner (hey, he wasn't super hungry) and were a bit pricey considering it's just one sausage cut in half. It was okay, but slightly too charred for my tastes. I was hoping to try their queso fundido dip, but was disappointed to come in 45 minutes earlier before their lunch menu started. I'll have to come by another time when I'm in the area. I'm not sure if the food here would be considered Mexican to me, but it was definitely a new experience. A little pricy, but otherwise, food was good!

We were craving for some Mexican food, and found this place in Palo Alto. We started off with the shrimp with compound butter (camaron). The shrimp was really well cooked, and they provided with a side of sliced bread to soak the pig jowl and sauce. While I really enjoyed it, it was 4 pieces of shrimp for 20$. Kinda steep. For the quesadilla, the cheese crust gives a nice texture and flavour, but the chicken was decent -good but not great. The slaw adds a nice crunch factor. The carnitas platter had a nice smoky and cast iron flavour, and it comes with 2 slices of tortilla. I'm not sure if they're willing to provide additional tortillas, but 1 extra one would have been nice since the meat portion was quite big.

Yelp
Café de olla was tasty, not sugary, and nice homemade coffee taste! Chilaquiles were good as well, a little watery the first day. Had leftovers and they tasted better the next day, seems like the flavors settled in better. Good vegan/vegetarian alternatives (egg substitute). Attentive customer service and nice ambience, it wasn't too hectic for a Sunday morning.

Kathryn C.

Yelp
Had brunch for the 1st time here on a Saturday & there was no wait at all. We sat inside & immediately noticed how cute the decor was. My husband & I shared a side of the hotcake then also had the breakfast burrito & grandma's breakfast (veggie omelette with spinach, cheese, mushrooms & onions) The portions were huge & each dish came with a side salad which had a nice, bright vinaigrette. Everything was delicious & the salsa verde that came with the burrito was so flavorful. We also asked for hot sauce & they gave us some homemade red salsa which had a nice, smokey flavor with a lil hint of spice. The hotcake wasn't too sweet & we almost finished it. I definitely took half of my omelette to go.

Great cocktails and overall a very good menu. Something for everyone. But a standout for me is the vegetarian/vegan Pozole Verde - excellent!! (So much so that I'm working on my clone.) A wonderful dish, worth the trip for that alone.

Over the top! Great place for a birthday celebration or a super lovely brunch/ dinner anytime! Sun of Wolf is a dream come true! Because of the cheerful staff with very welcoming hospitality, this stylish gem shines brightly in my book of Must Go To restaurants. AND the food is Spectacular!! We chose to dine there on a rainy Sunday to celebrate my mom's birthday and had a great experience. The staff was so attentive although the floor became very busy, we felt like special guests in their home. Wow when is the last time that happened at a local restaurant ? We started with Margaritas And ended with Super Happy Birthday Mama! Lots of good parking nearby. No reservations so arrive early if going for brunch. Ambiance and staff Food is tasty inventive and made with care Margaritas better than any in the Bay Atea Thank you and Muchas Gracias! Can't wait to come back! * Delicious Salsa and a few vegan options

I was really hoping to love this place but a few things turned me off: 1. The host wasn't so warm or welcoming 2. They are super chintzy with providing extra tortillas. 3. Chips and salsa were not complimentary 4. The bartender forgot to charge me the happy hour prices. 5. Our meal was over $300, so we surprised that near the end of our meal when they tried to rush us so they could give our table to others. The wait staff literally took my friend's drink when she was only half way through. 6. They don't take reservations. We ordered a variety of foods. The lasagna and the gem salad were amazing. The ahi tostadas and empanadas were pretty good. The prawn appetizer was not so good. 4 prawns for $20! Plus the sauce was salty. Cocktails were good but some were better than others.

Incredibly talented chef. I stopped in for just a quick bite and was greeted by the staff and found a spot outside on their beautiful patio. Angelica was an excellent waitress who helped me through the menu and pointed me to a brand new dish that was added this morning. I thought I'd give it a try and was pleasantly surprised by what the chef had created. Called "regalito" it's an appetizer but perfect for filling a small dish on its own. Will definitely come back again and try the rest of the menu!

I visited this restaurant with a friend for a Friday dinner. We arrived at 6.50 PM and put our name on the waitlist for a table inside. The person at the entrance mentioned that it would be a 15-minute wait, but after waiting for 30minutes, we asked if we could sit outside and move inside as soon as a table became available. Despite repeatedly communicating our preference to sit inside, the staff seated other customers inside, which was disappointing. Once we were seated outside, we ordered chips and salsa and a house cocktail called Year of the Earth Dog, along with a CABERNET Serial from Paso Robles 2019. The server rushed us to place our full order, which was surprising, given that we had just arrived and were planning to order our main courses shortly. For our main courses, we ordered the Maja Lasagna and Tacos Verdes, both of which were good but expensive and lacked sufficient quantity. For dessert, we ordered the guava bombas with hibiscus & cream cheese glaze, which was unique and enjoyable. Overall, while the food was good, the service was lacking, and the ambiance was average. Given the price point and the service, I'm not sure I would return.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a Mexican brunch spot, and we were pretty excited about Sun of Wolf. We stopped by after we roamed around the Palo Alto Farmer's Market, so what a great way to end the morning. We were surprisingly able to get seated right away. At first, they only had tables indoors, but an outdoor table opened up so the host came to get us and was open to moving us over there. Great service :-). Their menu is lean, but all the items seem to pack a punch. Love how many vegan options they have. I opted for the Fried Egg Sandwich, and my boyfriend got one of their specials -- a chicharron dish with a side of beans, salad, and the addition of a tortilla. Both our dishes were so solid and tasty. Pretty generous portions all around, and I definitely needed a nap from the food coma after haha. Our server was also great. Attentive and friendly, and made sure we were taken care of. The ambience here is lively but relatively chill, which I feel like is optimal for a weekend brunch.

Lindsay R.

Yelp
Really nice outdoor ambience in patio. Amazing food. And very attentive servers. very good experience here twice. yummy drinks. only reason i'm giving 4 stars is the hamburgusa just wasn't good to me... even the fries tasted really bad. Also would serve the queso with a crumbled chorizo not chopped and tortilla chips not warmed tortillas. regardless I still enjoyed everything!

The service was good and the food was excellent. I had a Rum Manhattan and it was delicious. Excellent cocktails

Grigori A.

Yelp
Not only was the service terrible, but there was also blatant favoritism shown towards certain customers. It was evident that some patrons were receiving preferential treatment, while others, like myself, were left feeling ignored and neglected. This further exacerbated the already poor experience and highlighted the dysfunction within the establishment. To add insult to injury, the manager's inability to address the situation effectively only compounded the issue. Their evident stress and lack of control over the staff contributed to the overall chaos and dissatisfaction. In light of such a disastrous experience, I would rate this establishment with zero stars. It was especially disheartening because it was my anniversary, and my partner loves that place. However, after such a dreadful experience, it's clear that we won't be returning anytime soon. It's a shame that what was once a favored spot has now become associated with disappointment and frustration.

The ambience here is really fun! Would come back here for a good time! The drinks were amazing and the food portions were filling and delicious! The service was super attentive and we were seated within 20 minutes around 6:30 pm. Had a really great time and will be back!

Sun of Wolf is a classy, clean, and small Mexican eatery for brunch and dinner. They don't take reservations, but if you come like 15 minutes-ish earlier, you should get seated pretty soon. I really liked their bar set-up (must come back next time), but we were here for a celebratory brunch. We got the following: -Grandma's Breakfast: comes with a fat omelette with a generous amount of spinach, cheese, onions, and mushrooms; two fresh tortillas; a small bowl of beans; and a tiny side of salad -Bananas Fosters Hot Cakes (we got one serving, which comes with just one big pancake; we didn't feel confident enough finishing three on our own) -One Iced Mexican Coffee The Grandma's Breakfast was definitely filling and flavorful (nothing was too salty or bland; the beans were veering towards being salty though); however, besides the generosity of ingredients, I'm not sure what made the omelette special or different; they got all the basics down I guess (melted cheese, chunky and chewy omelette?) The Bananas Fosters Hot Cakes are definitely super sweet, but we went in knowing what we were signing up for; personally loved it more as a dessert than as an entree; the bananas were perfectly seared and thick; the pancake's consistency was almost like that of a cake because of the abundance of delicious syrup that was drenching it. The Iced Mexican Coffee...get it! I regret getting only one to share. It's definitely sweet (like chocolate sweet), but it has a hint of a herbal-cinnamon taste to it, and it is super refreshing and milky. Ah...I might just go back to go get this...and maybe some dranks lol Service was fine.

Food - 5 Service - 5 Value - 4 On a recent trip to Palo Alto, we met with some family here for dinner. I recommend getting there early (before 6:15) as the place fills up shortly after that and then there can be long waits. We ordered the Hamburguesa, Pasta Al Ajillo, Salmon Sikil Paak and Carnitas Plate and then let everyone sample a little bit of everything. Each person had their own favorite dish, and I felt all 4 dishes were strong but that the Carnitas was probably the weakest of the bunch (still a 4/5, but the rest were 5s). The food is a little on the pricier side, but it is Palo Alto...
