El Paisano

The best caldo de res I have ever had. Every time is as good as the last one. Very authentic place .I love their food. Don't think twice come and visit this place , you will thank me.

Wow El Paisano changed ownership...I just found out on the weekend. Great news, the food still the same, amazing home cooked meals. The new owners were friendly and looks like they are keeping everything the same so far! I wish them well, and as long as the food still delicious I will keep on coming!

Place is small it took more than 30 minutes to get our food after we ordered and it's good that is already made just need to put it on plates. The tortillas are really thick no love in making them. I would not come back. I had high expectations very highly talked about but unfortunately not for me. Maybe just off day but not for me.

This is taco heaven! Their tacos are absolutely tasty! My sister introduced me to this hole-in-the-wall in the heart of Little Mex (this specific side of Middlefield in Redwood City.)I ordered two beef tacos with mild sauce and everything on it. The tortillas were warm and soft. The meat was moist and extremely flavorful. They put in the mild sauce, diced onions and cilantro. They added some extra mild sauce and limes on the side. Did I mention they don't skimp on the meat like some of the other taco spots I've been to. Well, they don't. You might be wondering, 'why only two tacos?' These tacos are huge! Two tacos are equivalent to four small tacos. If you want amazing authentic tacos, head over to El Paisano! You won't regret it.

I eat at Paisano's a lot. In fact, I'm sort of addicted to it, and you will hear me talk a lot about it...For years I've ordered the costillas in red sauce, which is my sons Diego's favorite, but recently I've been focused on the menudo. My friends will tell you my preference is to go on Mondays, when there's less of a crowd, and the richness of the menudo reaches its peak. I usually eat quickly, but this is a meal that I sit and enjoy. It's a special bowl of menudo.You will appreciate the salsa, the kind made of oil with the layer of Chile at the bottom (like in Chinese restaurants). It's consistently very hot, and one of the main reasons I like to eat there.If there is a crowd, the wait can be long. They make the tortillas to order, and by hand, so it takes time. The tortillas are big and soft, and when I bring friends it's often what they call out first.I've also eaten burritos, tacos, flautas, chilaquiles, and tamales but stick to the dishes that are in the steam table (just ask to see what's available). If you see the nopales con huevo, or the chicharrones en salsa, I highly recommend them (consider a two-way mix like my boy Danny G).

The pork rib plate is damned good. Like really good. Lip smackingly good. Plus homemade tortillas. Goddamn.Also the tacos are huge and excellent. You'll be easily full off two. We had the carnitas and birria and while the birria was a tad dry, the carnitas was wonderful.

Didn't look like much when you walk or drive by but the market inside is decent and the barbacoa tacos are where it's at. Not too bad on prices either and you can grab yourself a soda from their fridges or some limes from their little vegetable stands inside and the people inside are always nice and in good spirits. Good local spot que dios los bendiga !

Omg literally the best food ever! Their tortillas are handmade and just amazing, kind of a wait but well worth it.

Food is authentic and delicious. Their handmade tortillas make every plate taste delicious.

This place has the best $3.5 tacos in the bay, it's a market and a restaurant so everything is freshly cooked
