    Gluten free/celiac safe homemade tortilla chips!!!! This was the first LuLu's I visited - I now go to the San Carlos one since it's a little closer to home - though I'd love it if they'd open one farther up the peninsula! I got the gluten free carnitas burrito bowl and a side of chips. So happy to have found LuLu's!

    This was an alright place to grab some Mexican food in downtown Los Altos - I got the carne asada burrito bowl ($12.50) which was a bit skimpy on the portion size. The bowl tasted fine and I enjoyed the amount of fresh tomatoes in the bowl, though it didn't really stand out to me as a dish. It tasted fresher and less fast-food-like than Chipotle, but portions were definitely significantly smaller. Entrees came with chips & salsa and my plate had like a dozen or so chips, but my friend's entree came with literally 4 chips, so she had to go back and ask for more. Given how cheap chips are, seemed a bit off-putting that they would skimp so much on that. On the other hand, the lulu-rita drink was excellent and refreshing and interestingly, was cheaper than my entree. We came for a weekend lunch and it was busy, but still possible to get a table and dine in despite the crowd. Parking can be hit or miss, since you'll need to find street parking or circle the public parking lots -- definitely more difficult during weekends. All in all, the food was decent, but it wouldn't necessarily be at the top of my list to visit again.

    Chile Relleno (1)

    I haven't been here since Covid! Fish tacos - fish was nicely grilled and flavorful with fresh salad on top. Enchilada-- my boyfriend tried the pablano sauce . It was light and creamy. Not spicy . Chili relleno -- that was okay. The sauce was too runny and not enough cheese inside the chili. Taquitos--. Nice a crunchy , super good as an appetizer. Nice and casual place for a quick dinner.

    Super Burrito

    Got a super burrito and horchata. After tip it was some how 26 dollars.This is too pricey for what I got. I understand it does match the price of the area but this is more absurd the usual. Size was good and food was ok and standard. Horchata was grainy which can be good or bad. Ok service soled and ok ambiance

    I highly recommend Lulu's!! The tacos are tasty and spicy, served hot, with a variety of sauces and salsas to personalize the dish and give an extra kick. I ordered street tacos, which are served with a side of radish and lime. The meat of choice is heavily sprinkled with cilantro and finely chopped white onion. The location is in downtown Los Altos, a convenient and cute area decorated with succulents out front of the neighboring shops. I examined the menu and asked for water cups, which the staff promptly filled in advance rather than sending me to a refreshments bar with an empty glass. I sat outdoors to enjoy the weather, and the food was delivered to the table within minutes. The server offered mild red salsa and a spicy salsa verde to compliment our dishes. The feel of the restaurant is welcoming for all ages. The dishes are easily affordable for students to return to on a regular basis.

    Carne Asada Burrito with Rice

    A convenient spot in the Los Altos downtown, I stopped here for lunch during the Arts and Wine Festival. I've always been a fan of burritos, so I went with a carne asada and rice one, and loved it! It even came with a side of chips and salsa. The staff were very friendly and the food arrived fast too, which I'm always grateful for. I also loved the outdoor area, I enjoyed the burrito on some tables along the street right outside the shop that had a great view of the many artists that had come to share their art during the festival.

    Huevos Rancheros

    A good spot for Mexican food in the area. The huevos rancheros was okay but the enchilada plate was excellent! The tortillas were delicious and handmade. Lots of seating for the counter service

There seemed to have enough patrons during the weekday lunch period from local workers looking for a business lunch and I also saw two families with kids. The restaurant had one server for all of the people, he had his hands full. There is a full bar and extensive wines and liquors to choose from, if you feel like a mid-day drink. There are five booths for 4 people, two tables for six, three tall tables for two, one tall table for four, and some tables for outdoor dining. The restaurant has easy listening music. It's a good place for a relaxing meal during your day. The menu is attached, with lunch specials. There is also a parking lot located behind the restaurant and available street parking in front. I would be comfortable coming here again with a few friends to socialize. The poki bowl was quite good, it hit the spot for me.

The dining room was sweltering, no AC running on a 90 degree day. She refilled our water with warm water, and when we asked for ice, it never showed up; we had to flag down a kitchen runner to get any. We asked about a cocktail that was listed by name only, with no description. Her entire answer was "a cocktail." Not helpful. The menus didn't help either. Three separate menus, all dense and cluttered, made it hard to figure out what we even wanted to order. On top of all that, the food was mediocre at best, small portions, flavorless, disappointing for a Los Altos restaurant at this price point. Between the heat, the service, and the food, there was nothing that made this worth a return visit. Based on the owner's responses to other reviews here, it seems she prefers to argue with customers rather than fix the actual issues, warm dining room, no ice, unhelpful service. That's a customer service problem, not a customer problem **Stay away.**

We arrived around 10:00 a.m., and while the restaurant wasn't busy and there were plenty of empty tables available, we stood at the host stand for more than five minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Looking back, that should have been a sign of what was to come. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. We ordered simple breakfast items--a ham and cheese omelet with hash browns and toast, and a two-egg breakfast with hash browns and toast. When our meals arrived, the food was lukewarm to cold, and the toast had been replaced with bagels. The eggs were dry and overcooked, and the hash browns were soft and cold. Ironically, the best thing on the plate was the buttered bagel, which was at least fresh and soft. We also requested extra napkins, but they never arrived. For the price we paid, we expected a much better experience. Between the lackluster service and mediocre food, this was not a meal worth repeating. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
