Taqueria El Grullense M&G

Authentic Mexican taqueria on El Camino Real open early until midnight with fresh tacos, burritos, tortas, and seafood dishes at street-food prices.

Taqueria El Grullense M&G offers enough variety to make a taco stop on El Camino Real in Palo Alto turn into a full Mexican meal. Carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, chicken, and other fillings anchor the tacos and burritos. We like that the menu then opens into regional plates, seafood, and breakfast instead of stopping at the handheld staples. The California burrito combines steak with fries, cheese, guacamole, and pico de gallo, while wet burritos offer red or green sauce. Chicken mole, chile verde, goat birria, and carnitas plates provide more substantial choices. Aguachile, ceviche tostadas, garlic shrimp, and fried mojarra give seafood its own place on the menu. Chilaquiles and huevos rancheros bring breakfast into the picture. The appeal is a taqueria where a familiar order can coexist with a different kind of Mexican comfort food.
