Visiting from Virginia. Took brother and family to their favorite Mexican Restaurant. Margaritas and coffee to drink. Excellent chips and two types of salsa for starters. All four dinners were excellent. Friendly, professional service. Easy parking. Table and booth seating. Highly recommend!

My family and I had dinner at Chili's.We had the Nacho's and tostadas with guacamole as appetizers. For the main course we had, baby back ribs, quesadillas explosion salad, guacamole burger, sunrise burger and the bacon ranch chicken quesadilla. It all tasted very good but the baby back ribs could have been a little warmer.It was also quite cold in the restaurant.The staff was very friendly and nice.

The burritos are really huge and reasonably priced, but lack a bit of flavor. More like a chipotle the like an authentic taqueria, no free chips and salsa bar which my family really enjoys.Ilaria, We know that the flavor is the best part about Mexican food, so we'd never want our food to be anything less than delicious. Since we must pay the rent we have to charge for chips and salsa. Thank you for bringing this to our attention -- we'll definitely keep it in mind. Hope to make it up to you sometime,Carmelita

We love Mexican food and we've had better than this...my shrimp burrito was huge and stuffed but the shrimp were few and lacked flavor. The other dishes my family ordered were fine but not memorable at all. Service was friendly and fast. They charge for chips and salsa, when many taquerias have an all you can eat bar for that - I think that's a crime!

I have been to many taquerias and this one meets all my requirements. It's fast, reasonably priced, good variety of tasty food, a pleasant enough place to sit and eat with friends but also convenient for take-out, busy at lunch hour but not impossibly crowded. Did I mention that the people are nice? I can buy a burrito for $8 and get two yummy lunches out of it, which makes it a better value than my company cafeteria.

This was my second time going to this place, because my friend say it was good. I should have listen to my guts! Nothing was good about the place. To begin the service was really bad starting from the waiter to the so called manager in charge of the place. I did not feel welcome from the moment we walked in. It took them forever to bring a menu, long to take the order and even longer to bring food. Whenever a question was asked about menu or drinks they were not polite and always made a face as if we were bothering them. The food was not good or worth the price at all. Given all the bad experience the tip reflected it. A month later, I checked my credit card bill and they charged an additional $5 for the tip. Of course this is nothing but this is not even legal. So I decided to call them and explain to them the problem and how they should work on better service. I would have expected an apologies or something for my feedback and I've got nothing from them. I would never eat there again.

I've been here three times now in the last month.There's good and bad here. The food is generally tasty. I've had a different dish each time. Some are good and some are ok.Here's the bad: I don't usually care too much about service being good or bad, but it is egregiously bad here. The number of times I had to flag down someone to refill water was absurd - bearing in mind this was with three different servers from each time. It's also taken an eternity for someone to come around to take our order, and the staff seemingly couldn't care less whether we enjoyed the food or not. They would get pretty annoyed when we ran out of chips or salsa and asked for more.Price: as others have noted, it's really excessive for what you get. The ingredients may be good, I don't know, but $16-18 for vegetarian burritos and $23+ for meat is... Kind of a lot.The grandma's sauce is ok here, but it's much better at "fiesta del Mar too" which is a few blocks away. The salsas are better there too and the service is far better.Ambience here is just fine. Nothing special, but good in a casual way.

Our group of six (four adults, two teens) visited Fiesta Del Mar Too in Mountain View for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant was empty when we arrived and the wait staff was very attentive with drink orders and chips and salsa. The chips were fresh and came with three types of salsa. We ordered guacamole...chunky, flavorful and fresh. Everyone was pleased with their main dishes, including tostadas, tacos and fajitas. The fajitas were flavorful and came with sides of rice and beans. We had to ask for cheese and more tortillas (the large platter of fajitas only came with 3 tortillas). Overall, happy with our experience.

We visited the establishment on a recommendation from a friend who had visited the area recently. When we arrived on a Monday Night and the parking lot was packed we were impressed already. Prompt , pleasant service that was very informative. A liter of water is placed on the table with chips and a variety of salsas almost immediately. Our cocktails were delivered shorty after. I had a combo with a enchilada and a tostada while my dinner date had one of their specials with a combination of enchiladas (Enchiladas del Sol). We were very pleased with our choices. We chose to drink our dessert in the form of cocktails which were very good as well. An excellent choice and we highly recommend this establishment.

Came here for early Sat. Dinner. When we arrived at 5:45, there were lots of empty tables. When we left an hour later, you couldnât walk through the lobby because there were so many people waiting for tables. The noise level is very high when full so beware. Their enchiladas and tostadas are delicious! This is my main place to eat when I must have Mexican!
