TACOS LOS ALTOS RESTURANT — Restaurant in Hillsborough

Los Altos brick and mortar restaurant has a nice feel to it. The staff work hard to cook and serve your meals in a timely fashion. Whether dining inside or outside on the sidewalk service is prompt and the food arrives fresh and hot. The prices are fair and the servings are plentiful for the price. However, I have two complaints. The Carne En Salsa (Fried pork in salsa with cactus, served with beans and rice with tortillas on the side) is short chunks of ribs and is very good. However, the meat is still on the bones. Since the rib chunks are covered in sauce and are difficult to see, a person could unsuspectedly chomp down on a bone and break a tooth.

There are only a few employees so timing is really important. The food is amazing and probably my favorite Mexican food in Hillsborough but they are short staffed and it’s a small space so keep...

Tacos Los Altos is a new food truck in the Hillsborough area. I had two of their tacos, the pollo and the asada. They were both well spiced, though frankly I thought both of them were on the dry side. They were served with sauteed onions and cilantro on corn tortillas, and the truck had an assortment of salsa options to spice the food to your liking.

The food is quite authentic, but isn't the tastiest I've had. I waffled on whether to give 3 or 4 starts here, but settled on for largely given the price range. It was like 5 bucks for the two tacos!

Given the dirt cheap price and authenticity of the food, if you're craving a quick Mexican lunch this is a split you...
