The Happy Taco Taqueria

Counter-serve taqueria with a free salsa bar, carne asada tacos, super burritos, and authentic Mexican staples.

The Happy Taco Taqueria keeps a Mexican meal on San Mateo Road in Half Moon Bay approachable, with counter service and familiar dishes that work for different appetites. Carne asada tacos, al pastor burritos, and carnitas give the menu several savory starting points. We like the option to choose a few tacos or settle into a larger burrito meal. A super wet burrito takes the order in a saucier direction, while chimichangas provide another substantial choice. Chile verde tacos add a different pork preparation, and breakfast burritos with chorizo bring eggs into the mix. Chips and salsa help round out an order or give a group something to share. The appeal is a convenient neighborhood taqueria format with enough variety to suit breakfast, a quick lunch, or a casual coastside dinner.
