5.0 of 5 stars. This is the best Mexican resturant for burrittos, tacos, etc. on the Coast and I think in all of San Mateo County. Try their wet burrittos in green sauce that is a wonderful version! While their...

5.0 of 5 stars. My boyfriend is something of a burrito connoisseur so wherever he tells me a good burrito is to be found, I follow. What was different about El Gran Amigo however, is that this is quite possibly...

3.0 of 5 stars. I didn't feel like I was in the US. Dirty, grimy, everyone was drinking beer at 11 am. It was awesome.

El Gran Amigo Taqueria by Becky M. at InsiderPages

Great Mexican food at this little spot. El Gran Amigo is a great taqueria. The food is awesome, you don't have to wait long and the prices are low. Nice family place.

Yelp.com Review - by Julian H.

3.0 of 5 stars. This place is a total dive--it would not be out of place in, say, Tijuana. I was a little surprised to find it just west of Palo Alto. Because I've watched too many episodes of No Reservations, the...
