Jalisco’s Grill

Great little taqueria next to the firehouse in Portola Valley. Very friendly service and excellent food. I had the quesabirria. The meat was tender and lean. Came wrapped in a soft corn tortilla on the inside and crispy corn tortillas on the outside. They also served fried corn tortillas and bean dip with the meal. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Saw this place coming back from an early morning hike and thought the might have a breakfast burrito. They sure did--I got it with al pastor and a coffee, and sat in the warm sunshine at a table out front munching their chips with nicely spicy bean dip while they made the burrito. Burrito was hot and delicious, lots of flavor, not at all dry, and ingredients well-distributed. I got to practice a little Spanish with the staff, who were incredibly attentive and friendly. I may make a habit of this place.

Nicauthentic Mexican food hidden away in PV. The restaurant is small and parking can be tricky. They have music playing which is usually at a great sound level (not too loud). Great lunch spot if you're in the area hiking. The service is always very friendly and prompt. I've gotten takeout several times and I appreciate that they always check the bag before handing it to me (preventing me from leaving missing items). The shrimp tacos are GREAT! The chipotle sauce is so good, but can be a bit spicy specially for little ones so I always get it on the side. The kids taco meal is worth the money, plenty of rice and beans. And the torta with everything is but it's a lot so maybe share it because it doesn't hold over well as left overs (can get really messy and fall apart if you reheat it).

Ordered the birria tacos n consomé everything was over powered by cloves. Did not enjoy it was overwhelming.

Underwhelming burritos. Pretty small, bland, and light on protein. Seemed like a nice enough place but we won't be back.

I came in late close to closing time and it just seemed like the guys working didn't care.! I had a Carnitas taco and they just slapped a piece of meat on corn tortilla.It was mediocre.

How did we get so lucky? This is phenomenal and 10 min walk from my house in Portola valley. I love this place. First, the free chips come with bean dips. How cool is that!The wet burrito is soooo good. My new favorite Mexican place in Bay Area. They need to have chicken mole for me to never go anywhere else for Mexican.

I came here once to get a snack for my ride home from work and got charged $12 for a small bag of chips and 1/4 cup of guacamole. The chips were okay and the guacamole was salty. I haven't tried their meal items but I don't think I will.

Tuve una experiencia bastante decepcionante en este restaurante. Llegué con ganas de probar su comida, pero después de esperar 20 minutos, nadie se acercó a tomar mi orden ni a ofrecer ayuda. El personal parecía desinteresado y ni siquiera hicieron el esfuerzo de reconocer mi presencia.

First time. Very good burritos. We had a steak burrito and a carnitas burrito. Worth a visit.
