Tacos El Grullense #1

A chill hangout for delicious, budget-friendly Mexican eats. I stopped by on a Friday evening — it wasn’t packed, but there was a good buzz in the air. We went for the Super Burrito and Meaty Fries — both were absolutely loaded and seriously delicious. For just $15 each, it’s a total steal! If you’re craving tasty, affordable Mexican food near downtown Redwood City, this is the spot!

The quesabirria taco is my favorite, it has complex flavors, almost like the meat was pulled from an Indian beef curry, but not spicy, and served in a crispy corn taco with cheese. This taco is all about the contrast in textures and flavors, soft beef and crispy taco — I like it best in the evenings when the meat has had a chance to rest in its broth. This is the single item that keeps me coming back here, everything else is pretty average IMO

This place restored my husband's and my faith in Mexican food. We come from Singapore with pretty dismal choices for decent Mexican food so I tried this with no expectations. However, I was really, truly blown away by not just the size but the astounding quality of my order! The wet burrito was SUPER loaded with ingredients and the green salsa hit the spot as the burrito skin soaked up its goodness. The chimichanga was the real winner here as I was truly surprised by how BIG it was! The sour cream complemented the salsa very well. There were huge chunks of cheese nicely folded into the flour base and the only gripe I had was that it was too sinfully calorific as it was huge and fried. It was very oily and I was already plenty full from eating the filling only. We could not finish our meals at all and I think one main + one side would be just nice for a couple to share. It has been 3 weeks since we ate here and my husband is still wistfully reminiscing the awesome Mexican food we got. Pity that the branches are only around the bay area and nowhere else in US.

Very chill place to be after sports! Good food, ordered the wet burrito and it was yummy!

The best tacos de tripa you'll find in town. Place is really clean. They also have a new outdoor sitting area that is petfecy for hot days. Service was okay. Dude that helped made the error of red salsa in my tacos so they had to redo them, overall not too bad.

If I lived or worked in Redwood city, I'd come here once every 2 weeks. The prices are good. The food is good. It is simple. You go up to the counter and order and find a seat inside or outside. Get your food when they call your number. I was in and out within 30mins. It was just what I needed. My hard taco was propped up with two lemon slices so I decided to squeeze lemon juice instead of use hot sauce on the taco. It was awesome. My cheese enchilada was good but small and felt like it was microwaved but that's okay. It still made me happy. If you are fussy about your lunch, then don't come here. If you want something easy and satisfying, this is your place. I love it.

Huge portions. The basket salad was quite tasty. Nachos lacked a little flavor. Make sure to ask for picked carrots and jalapeños for extra flavor

Yes it may take you 20+ minutes to order and get your food, but that simply due to how popular it is, and yes it's so worth it. Amazing and authentic Mexican food work all the trimmings, and at a very low price. Has a large seating area both inside and outside.
