Taqueria La Espuela

Downtown Mountain View taqueria celebrated as a hidden breakfast gem, with all-day Mexican and American breakfasts, super burritos, al pastor tacos, and a heated outdoor patio.

Taqueria La Espuela gives a downtown Mountain View meal plenty of choices, from breakfast burritos to traditional Mexican plates. Regular, super, and jumbo burritos let diners choose a format to match their appetite, while tacos range from simple meat, onion, and cilantro to fish, shrimp, and vegetable versions. We like how those familiar options connect to a broader menu. A torta ahogada adds a sauce-covered sandwich alternative, and pozole or seafood soups can turn the order toward something warming. Fajitas, steak ranchero, enchiladas, and chile relleno combinations offer full-plate meals with rice and beans. Egg dishes such as huevos con chorizo keep breakfast flavors in the mix. La Espuela's appeal is that everyday versatility, making it possible to stop for a small handheld meal or sit down to several complementary Mexican dishes.
