Brought some friends here, got the Pollo Motlueno, which the staff explained was like Chicken Tinga. Opted for a quesadilla, and while it was delicious, it would have been very difficult to eat from the to-go container without utensils, so keep that in mind if you're taking it on the road! My friends both got plantain burritos and were very satisfied. Staff was friendly and prices reasonable for SF. It seems like the preparation of food is a passion for whomever runs and operates this place, and I would be happy and confident to recommend it to anyone.

We started with a guacamole bowl for the table and a few drinks. Service was friendly and prompt throughout. Our group ordered a mix of enchiladas, tacos, and some brunch items, and everyone was really impressed with their meals. I had the carnitas tacos (listed as an appetizer, so a bit smaller), but they still came with a generous amount of meat and fresh toppings. I added some salsa from the chips to give them an extra kick They also have nice outdoor seating, and it's within walking distance to views of the bridge and the presidio lawn. Overall, it's a cute spot with great food!

Highly recommend if you're looking for great Mexican food and a fun atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back !!!

Service was immediate and super helpful from recommending delicious beers to describing items on the menu that I would not have considered. The full bar is a treat. With a variety of tequilas, mezcal and local craft beers. Such a plus. We had the fish tacos which are made on fresh hand made tortillas. EXCELLENT! Best fish tacos I have ever had. Not heavy on the batter and very tasty and fresh. I also had the cheese chile relleno which is stuffed proportionately correct with rice and cheese; but the sauce is really what made this dish stand out from any other chile relleno I've ever had. It is absolutely outstanding. Finally, we finished up with the house homemade flan which had the perfect texture and flavor. I did not want to leave ! That's how good everything is at La Ezkina. I cannot wait to go back. Highly recommend. P.S. Ambiance is laid back; warm and inviting AND they have a parking lot!

The burrito has egg, chorizo/sausage, and nice and crispy potato. I loved the addition of the potato, it is such a good texture to add into an otherwise mush burrito. The burrito appeared to be pretty small, but it was satiating! The restaurant itself is pretty small. It has a nice big open window with limited seating indoor and outdoor. The service was fast. Food came out in less than 5 minutes, but I was the only person in the store, so it might be different on a busier day.

We've been coming to Son of Wolf for years, and it's easily one of our most reliable go-tos. We've…read moreworked our way through nearly the entire menu... still skipping the burger for now. Our absolute favorite? The vegan tacos and yes, we're not vegan. We always pair them with a side of refried beans and chiles toreados, and it hits every time. What makes this place stand out is how incredibly flavorful and satisfying their meat-free options are. Vegan dishes can be hit or miss, but this is a full on hit. The menu overall is solid across the board. You can pretty much close your eyes, point, and end up happy. Brunch is also top tier. The pancakes are excellent, and the traditional Mexican dishes like chilaquiles and huevos rancheros are comforting, flavorful, and consistently well done. Must try cocktail: the Chapulín. When it first comes out, you might think they brought you a green juice, but trust us, this one will surprise you in the best way. It's made with jalapeño-infused tequila and packs a flavorful punch. Fair warning: if you're one of those people who thinks cilantro tastes like soap, this one may not be for you since it's part of the mix. Service is consistently great. The staff is attentive, friendly, and makes the whole experience feel easy. And honestly, there's not a bad seat in the house whether you're outside, inside, or at the bar.

I don't know where else you can find $2 tacos anymore--and that even includes birria. The birria tacos don't come with consommé, but honestly, they're packed with so much meat in every bite that you don't even miss it. They also have $3 volcanes (kind of like a tostada), which were super tasty, and the $6 margaritas were strong in the best way. Plus, the chips tasted fresh, which always makes a difference. On top of the food, the customer service was amazing--friendly, welcoming, and just overall a great vibe, good music. Street parking was easy to find on a weekday too.

Finally, someone with the same cravings brought me here. It was a slow weekday night. We were the only customers there, so for a second, I thought my date booked the whole restaurant (what, a woman can wish can't she?). Our waiter Michael O. was AMAZING. He did a few awesome fire displays with our drinks, and calaveras! I enjoyed his energy as much as I enjoyed the food. I had the Valentine's Day special, which included a nice sized steak and a lobster. The flavor in the steak was perfect. Nicely seasoned, and tender. I ate the lobster so fast yal, I don't remember what it tasted like. But I assure you, it must have been good lol.

Long overdue since I frequent the place:…read more If you are craving a reliable, no-frills Mexican spot in Cupertino, this place delivers exactly what you hope for and then some. We grabbed three burritos to go, two with adobo chicken and one with the Del Mar fish. Each one was packed generously and full of flavor. The chicken had a nice depth of seasoning, and the fish option felt fresh and well balanced. Portions were more than satisfying. I made a small customization request to shift the cheese from one burrito into mine, and they handled it without hesitation. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the food came out quickly. For the quality and size, the pricing felt reasonable. The setting lands comfortably between casual and slightly elevated. It is a step up from a typical taco shop, but still laid back and easygoing. There is seating both inside and outside, which is a nice option, though the patio sits near a somewhat busy street. Parking can require a bit of patience since it shares a strip mall lot with other businesses. Aside from that minor inconvenience, it is a dependable choice for a satisfying burrito, and I would happily come back again. Did I mention the staff have great stories?

Uniquely among the few places in this area I've tried that do have sopapillas, theirs are sometimes hollow so you can put the necessary honey (which comes with) inside. Sometimes. Some are hollow and some aren't. They come 8 to a plate, in the shape of pie slices, and they're quite crisp on the outside. It's pretty good, best of the breed locally, but I still miss the big pillowy ones from New Mexico. For the meal beforehand, I tried the special of corn chowder. This was very plain-tasting but reasonably hearty. Strange salsa bar. The salsas come with shallow wooden spoons with which it's impossible to get a decent quantity of any of the liquid salsas into the little paper cup.

Sip Happens... and So Does a Solid Taco Night…read more My husband, daughter, and I were in the mood to shake things up with margaritas somewhere new, and our daughter pointed us toward Copita Tequileria y Comida. As we cruised by looking for parking, it was clear we had picked a lively spot--buzzing energy everywhere: inside, outside, and even upstairs. We were quickly seated indoors, though on such a beautiful day we assumed we'd be offered outdoor seating. No big deal--we asked, and they happily moved us to a shaded table with plenty of space. Much better. Drinks were first on the agenda: margaritas and a michelada, all refreshing and exactly what we were hoping for. Our server, Michelle, was friendly, attentive, and even shared some helpful tips about perks with our American Express Platinum Card--a nice, unexpected touch. We kicked things off with queso fundido, though a brief mix-up brought us chips and guacamole from another table first. Once we pointed it out, it was quickly handled--but honestly, it looked so good we ended up ordering it anyway. No regrets there--it definitely hit the spot. We hadn't planned on a full dinner, so we went with lighter bites. The tuna tostadas and halibut ceviche were a hit--fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. I went with the tortilla soup, which was good and nicely presented... but didn't quite wow me. I've been on a bit of a tortilla soup tour lately, and this one leaned a little heavy on the tortillas (soaking up too much broth) and had more zucchini than I expected. That said, major points for serving it piping hot--something a lot of places miss--and the avocado was a great addition. One thing worth noting: I didn't catch it until later, but there's a 4% living wage surcharge added to the bill--and it's taxed. That caught me off guard, and I'm still not entirely sure how that works in California. Overall, a fun, energetic spot with great drinks, tasty bites, and solid service. Not perfect, but definitely good enough to come back for another round.
