    Breakfast burrito
    Stephanie C.

    Came here and got a carnitas super burrito and a ham breakfast burrito. I liked the super burrito - that was really flavorful. The breakfast burrito tasted fine but it didn't have much texture. With the beans and the eggs, it just felt quite mushy. I wouldn't get that again but I'd definitely come back for the super burrito.

    Tacos de Tripas y Tacos de Lengua, add avocado | $13 for 4 tacos including tax (+2.9% charge for CC's)

    4.5 STARS With inflation and prices getting out of pocket, CHEAP EATS is where it's at... TACO TRUCKS! As many times as I've driven by, I had no idea there was a taco truck here at this Chevron (down the block from the H Mart plaza)...well, technically a converted transport van. I was at Main Street Cupertino....craving lengua tacos and Yelp had my back with Frontera Grill (not related to Rick Bayless). Compared to the east side not many legit Mexican eateries on this side of W Man Jose/Cupertino area and I knew I was in the right place when there were only Spanish speaking customers. M E N U * Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, enchiladas, fajitas, and mariscos (seafood). Birria de res served on Fridays and Saturdays. * Meat choices: Carne asada, carnitas, pollo, tripas, cabeza, al pastor, milanesa, lengua, chorizo, camaron, pescado, and tinga. Hella cheap....tacos are only $2.39 each! Cc's accepted but there's a 2.99% surcharge. F O O D * Tacos de Lengua y Tacos de Tripas (4 tacos - $13 including tax): https://bit.ly/3zxawWe ***Add avocado. ***Tacos are served with grilled onions, jalapeño, radish, and lime. The tripa was my fav of the two...large pieces of tripas (beef tripe) that's nicely chewy with fatty, caramelized crispy edges. The lengua (beef tongue) was beefy and tender but could have been softer. The tacos were served on a double corn tortillas that were soft and pliable but quite wet on the bottom from the juices. The salsa verde was bright and punchy with heat. I should have asked for the orange salsa so next time! S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. Our order was ready in about 5 minutes with one person ahead of us. A M B I A N C E There's three stools for sitting (no tables), and cement ledges in the shade where you can enjoy your food. P A R K I N G Not sure if you're allowed to park at the several spaces in Chevron. But, we went inside their mini mart to buy some drinks so we could park there. Overall, legit tacos that hits and a great value to boot. Great place to hit up after all the impulse buying at H Mart! 4.5 stars rounded up for value.

    Pastor burrito
    Leo L.

    I was craving a burrito after running some errands with the wifey. So we (ok maybe I unilaterally) decided to hit up this food truck I've seen around. They had other choices on the menu, but my kind was already set on a burrito. I went with the pastor (marinated pork) and the wifey went with carne asada (beef). A few minutes later, we had the burritos in hand. Also got 3 small containers of various salsa: red, green and a creamy orange. The last was my favorite. We split half-half, so both of us got to try both meats. The pastor was hands down the winner for me. It was soooo flavorful. Didn't really even need the salsa but adding a bit gave it another layer of flavor. I also happened to have some avocados and put a few slices in my burrito, which elevated it to another level if I do say so myself They accept cash or card but cash is a bit cheaper. I'm sure we'll be back again and again.

    3 different meats tacos: Lengua (beef tongue) , Tripa ( tripe ) and Camarones (shrimp )
    Eliot K.

    Frontera food truck is located at Deanza and highway exit at 1188 S De Anza Blvd. Probably the best taco truck I've tried so far. What made them stand out for me was the meat options for lengua and tripe. Not the usual menu options you'll normally see at other trucks. You'll have to park at the McDonald's lot and walk over since the truck is situated at a gas station w limited parking. Tacos:4/5 I got 3 different kinds of meat tacos: Lengua , Tripa and Camarones. Lengua was super soft , Tripa was creamy and well seasoned. Im definitely going back to try other menu items . Homemade sauces were amazing..just the right kick to round out the food truck experience. * Support your local food truck business , they are what makes this area unique and fun to discover with friends that are visiting.

    Al pastor super burrito
    Linda M.

    Been needing a legit burrito fix for awhile. Surprisingly not too many spots in the area. Went to the orthodontist on a Saturday morning and decided to drop by and see if I could scratch that burrito itch. Located in the same lot as a gas station, parking was a little tight but I found a spot in the lot. Street parking was full. There were 4 other guys in line when I got there, but the ordering process was pretty quick. I really came here for the quesabirria, but spent too much time looking at the main menu and no time looking at the specials listed next to the ordering window. Missed the quesabirria which is only available on weekends. Not disappointed with the al pastor super burrito that I did get though. My order didn't take that long, service was good. Got some salsa verde. Prices were reasonable for the bay. My burrito was a good portion and was pretty bomb. Would definitely return and try the quesabirria! And even the al pastor burrito again.

    Hands down still my favorite taco truck in Cupertino area! Parked at the Chevron station on De Anza, you can't miss this orange and red truck. My go to is their al pastor super burrito, which is grilled on the plancha. The burrito itself is loaded with al pastor, beans, rice, pico and avocados. Always ask for the green sauce! They take cars with a slight up charge. If you go during lunch, expect a slight wait time as people call in ToGo orders as well. Support this local mexican truck for sure!!!

    We all have heard stories of gas station food, but this one is a delight! They propped up right next to the Valero gas station on Mission and Bismark St across the Jefferson High School. I order 2 carne asada tacos and a chorizo quesadilla, and it was only $12! And the portions were much more for the price since I can't finish the quesadilla after the tacos. This is a cash only no-frill taco truck that I am going to have to try out their other menu items. If you want a quick and awesome Mexican street food, I definitely recommend you to try this taco truck.

    *CASH DISCOUNT* - They charge an extra 3% for card The food truck is in the Chevron parking lot, next to McDonald's and across from 85 bakery. It's a bright orange truck so it's super hard to miss. I ordered the carnitas burrito, and my experience with it was okay. The flavoring was definitely there - the onions were more raw so it was quite sharp (but also leaves you with bad breadth so be careful!), and the salsa they gave added just the right amount of spice. It was also really filling - I'm someone who normally doesn't finish the whole plate when I eat out, and with this burrito I only managed half of it before getting stuffed! The one qualm I had with the burrito was that I thought the carnitas could have been better. Usually, I imagine carnitas as pretty soft and juicy, but here they were more rough and dry. Flavor of the carnitas was still pretty good, but the texture definitely could have been better.

Have wanted to try this place for quite some time but now that we're a bit closer, we finally made it in. Located in downtown Saratoga, there is coveted but limited street parking and more parking in the back. We came and sat down right away on a busy Friday night. There are a few booths in the back and we were seated there. The kids enjoyed the fish decor and friendly service. They gave the kids a color sheet menu and crayons. We ordered the crab artichoke dip to start and the halibut fish and chips with an oyster po' boy. My son also ordered his 1st cheeseburger which he shared with his little sis. I got a nice cold IPA and the my son ordered an apple juice but they accidentally gave him a lemonade and quickly replaced with the correct apple juice as well. Food came out hot and delicious! We all devoured the carb artichoke dip on the baguette toast chips. The wife and I split our meals and both dishes were excellent. The oyster po'boy was crispy and tasty, I liked the bread but my wife thought it was too dry. The star was the fish and chips with a crispy thick batter but fresh well portioned halibut strips. We all ate the fries and drank our drinks. The cheeseburger was flame broiled and pretty good as well. Would come here again to try the other menu dishes. Lots to choose from, looking forward to the regular fish and chips, but also the lobster roll and numerous other seafood options!

We arrived on a Saturday evening for dinner. The restaurant is located in a nice newer plaza area in Cupertino off the Vallco Parkway close to where Vallco Shopping Mall once stood.

The modern decor is nice and sleek. Whereas the vibe is bustling and welcoming. We ordered the combo of 2 pounds of shrimp with heads on, garlic noodles, and 2 steamed rice. The seafood boil came out in a large silver bowl instead of the usual large clear bag. I found this to be much better in presentation. Everything was so delicious.

A couple of saucy yummy corn and potato were found in the bowl which was a good surprise. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Cap't Loui. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

It's tucked behind the buildings just off Saratoga's main strip. Trust Google Maps, head to the rear parking lot, and follow the sign through the alley to the restaurant. Dinner is prix fixe only -- $93 as of August 2026. We mentioned that we had plans afterward and just wanted a lighter dinner and some wine, and they were incredibly gracious about letting us split one prix fixe. Honestly, the portions still felt very generous, and we ended up spending about the same amount on wine anyway. The wine list is small but really thoughtfully curated, and they also allow you to bring your own bottle for a corkage fee. The standout for me was the Hokkaido scallop with crab and caramelized carrot. Genuinely one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. A couple of dishes were liberal with the finishing salt, but the flavors, seasoning, creativity, and technique were top tier. Everything is cooked to order by the chef, and it showed -- every course came out beautifully prepared and cooked to perfection. The whole place feels like a passion project. The chef has spent decades in the industry, including time in Shanghai and Hawaii, and it feels like he and his wife basically said, "This is what we do, this is the food we love -- let's make a place for it." And I love that. There are some rough edges that come with making the space work for them, but the things that actually matter -- food, service, organization, and cleanliness -- were excellent. Even the single restroom was very clean and well kept. It's a small, intimate space, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. That said, they seemed genuinely accommodating to everyone who came through and clearly care about making people feel welcome. More than anything, the restaurant just felt happy. Everyone around us was having a great time, people were ordering liberally from the wine list, and by the time we left around 7, it felt like a room full of people who understood exactly what this place is about. GOGA isn't trying to win you over with a bunch of empty promises and trendy decor. It's about really good food, wine, and hospitality from people who clearly care about what they're doing. I'd love to see the space evolve over time, but never at the expense of the food or the wonderfully unique experience they've created. We'll absolutely be back -- brunch is next.

    To start out, I am a HUGE fan of Hawaiian food and Asian fusion cuisine; thus, I was very excited…read moreabout visiting GOGA to celebrate my birthday with my wife (who shares the same birthday) and my two kids. We found GOGA on Yelp and it seemed like it had just the right vibe (a laid-back atmosphere with the meticulous and intentional attention to detail that only a master chef can bring to a meal). I'll start out with the good. We were seated quickly (as the first reservation of the evening should) and they offered us a burger and fries option for our small children; this is nice since kids are often too picky to appreciate the mixture of flavors/textures on offer. My six-year-old had the burger and he reported that it was good (with one thumb up) but not great (two thumbs up); I think that if he had not removed the tomato and lettuce, it would have been better but he is a much tougher critic than me. On to the areas where improvement is needed. The chef's attitude toward small children is not inviting. For example, my son is small, 36". He does not put his feet on the chair because he wants to but because he needs to in order to prop himself up to a comfortable height. The chef yelled at him from the kitchen, "Tell the young man to put his feet down!" I get it, the chairs are upholstered in a leather material but a better approach would be to send the server over to communicate in a friendlier way, offer a booster, or to ask if he would be willing to remove his shoes if he needs to prop himself up in the chair. The next thing was the smoke. At one point before they decided to turn on the range hood the entire restaurant was filled with smoke that was pretty irritating and a bit alarming. They seemed to get it under control but the whole restaurant stayed musty at all times, it definitely needs more circulation. One idea would be to install a large folding door on the side of the restaurant next to the entry-way to create a sort of indoor/outdoor dining that makes use of the entry-ally way. It would also help to avoid the feeling of claustrophobia from being in such a small space. The prix fixe menu for the evening was a four-course meal at $95 that included the tuna sashimi salad, a lobster roll, American Wagyu, and raspberry tiramisu. The tuna salad was decent, very smooth, rich and well matched to the veggies and avocado. The lobster roll is where things started to fall apart. The bun was butter and overly salted and over-powered the meager bits of lobster that was included within. Last was the Wagyu (which we were highly anticipating due to having to wait 45 minutes after the lobster roll to arrive). Sadly, it was also over-salted, dry on the outside and chewy on the inside with a very gamey flavor (it was the worst steak I have had in a long time and definitely the worst Wagyu I have ever tasted). It was paired with a single spear of broccolini (extremely over-salted) and a large cut of heirloom tomato. Nothing about this pairing brought to mind Hawaii and its unique savory and sweet profiles but then again it just did not taste good. Last was the tiramisu. It was good, perhaps a bit heavy on the cream but overall good. The only other thing to note from this portion of the meal was that their only attempt at helping us celebrate our birthdays was a single heart-shaped candle which is nice but definitely minimal effort. As I was getting ready to sign the bill (around $400 total including a mimosa, three prix fixe, and a burger) the chef visited our table. I thought this was going to be a visit to ask how our meal was but instead he wanted to let us know that there were other guests waiting for our table... wait what?!? We arrived promptly at 5:30, they took 20 minutes to serve our salad, another 30 minutes to bring the lobster roll, 45 minutes to bring Wagyu, and 20 minutes to serve desert and somehow we are the ones holding things up?!? Frankly, I was too impressed by their total lack of self-awareness to get overly angry. Conceptually, I'm OK with the chef not adhering to the Hawaiian theme (regardless of the Hawaiian music playing throughout our visit) as long as they provide food quality that matches the fine dining price. Perhaps I visited on an off-night (since the menu is likely changing frequently) but for nearly $100 per person I expect better. Sadly, it looks like I'll still be waiting for a fine-dining approach to Hawaiian cuisine because GOGA just isn't it.

The thing that lingered in my mind even till this day, a week after I am writing this review, is that umami flavor bomb chawanmushi with mosel mushroom and uni (never can go wrong with uni). The other thing that I thought took more skill, attention, and was unique to the chef's background was their dashi/broth. It was a complex of flavors from the sea that all paired well together. I thoroughly enjoyed every sip, and the flavors waking up all parts of my tongue. One more part - the meat dishes were not my favorite. They just do the seafood so well. Oh! And dessert, of course, the Japanese melons were as if it was dipped in fructose lol Ambiance is dressy and date-worthy :) the elderly ladies beside me were sporting their Birkens and taking pics of their food next to it

    Not sure what the story surrounding this place is. Apparently, if you're not a member of some…read more"charmed circle", they won't even TALK to you. We knew that this was an upper-end restaurant and like most restaurants of that caliber, the establishment had some traditions that they liked to adhere to regarding dress and comportment. Not wanting to cause any embarrassments, we hoped to get a couple of questions answered before we walked in. They don't answer their phone. They don't reply to emails. Their website says to contact them via phone messaging, but they don't even reply to THAT. Fortunately, there is another Japanese restaurant just one block down (Hachi ju Hachi) which serves superb, authentic Japanese food and which warmly WELCOMES its customers. We went there instead and are of the opinion we didn't miss out on anything by giving this kaiseki joint a pass.
