Food: A Super Michelada: Can't go wrong with this choice. What did stood out was the shrimp, chef's kiss. Ceviche Tostada: This was definitely a crowd pleaser. The citrus marinade rounds out the dish just right. Salsa Macha: Reformed chili oil addict jking, just relapse. If you like your asian chili oil, you gotta try this latin cousin....so smoky you can put it on anything. Orange and green sauces are top tier too but the norm nowadays. Oh yes there's a chip and salsa bar. Service: was quick and friendly can't complain. - John read more

Awfull service , the young kid that takes orders dosent know what he is doing or is high, I asked for beans rice and the chorizo , well there were no beans in botb plates (i didnt find out till i got home , i also asked for sunny side up eggs ,beans and rice for the other plate, well he charged me twice the chorizo plate plates and they came with no sunny side up eggs, Cashier appears clueless , as i speak perfect English and spanish , I complained about the missing eggs and extra charge and i did get my sunny side eggs (i didn't ask for a refund as that might have been to much for his brain cells) The eggs they brought out were heavily salted aswell (maybe retaliation) and i didn't notice no beans in both plates till i got home , Lastly they were playing stoner rap music in the kitchen so maybe they're all stoned right now and that explains everything read more

Tres Potrillos - No beans - Mexican Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

We got 1 soft taco under 5$ and had as much quac and chips and salsa as we wanted. My wife and I got full with one taco by getting salsa and chips which were a little stale but there was no limit so can't complain. We also got drinks and we had such a good time. There was one homeless guy with a broken hand, who came for free chips and salsa and somebody bought food for him but other than that the place was ok. There were a couple of big parties taking up a whole restaurant and it was lovely to spend time there. Service was quick and ok. For the amount of chips and salsa we got it was awesome read more

DELICIOUS! I feel like this spot is so underrated. I stopped by here last month on a whim with a couple friends for dinner and was so pleasantly surprised. I believed I got their super taco and a hard taco shell, with lengua and cabeza (or pollo?) and wow, delicious! The service was quick and the order was fairly affordable, considering the current prices in this economy. I also enjoyed the fact that there was a free chips and salsa bar. Is this a whole in the wall? Yes. Is it a bit grungy? Also, yes. But this place is exactly what you expect and does the job done when you want some yummy Mexican food. I'll definitely be coming here again when I'm in the area. read more

Review for takeout order- a solid 4 stars for the fries!! It's hard to find quality carne asada fries let alone birria fries! But I think I've found my go-to! Even ordering takeout, the fries were still very crispy andd absorbed all the of flavors! Every layer was amazing! The carne was a little dry but the seasoning and flavors were on point! I love that they add soo much on top! We shared two orders for 10 people! The birria flavors were really good too, it's as if I was dipping the fries in a bowl of consume. I enjoyed the braised meat and some of the fatty gems when you find them! read more

This is a pretty solid Mexican restaurant with lots of seating, a big salsa bar and free chips, and a wild variety of classic taqueria eats on its menu. I got the giant quesadilla with birria meat and it was huge and stuffed with cheese and juicy birria meat. It was simple but so so good. read more

I ordered the shrimp soup from Tres Potrillos via DoorDash. It was delicious! It came with chopped cilantro and onions plus hand maid corn tortillas. The shrimp soup (caldo de camarón) was delicious! It was enough for me to eat it for dinner two days. On the second day I added more water and boiled it to reheat the soup. There was enough veggies and shrimp. The soup looked like it was just made prior to its delivery. It could be enough for two people. read more

I stopped by potrillos 3 Taqueria while visiting the Sunnyvale area because my son had football practice and I wanted to try something nearby. While I was walking to the bathroom, I noticed the person preparing food was on his cell phone while still wearing his food-prep gloves. That immediately made me uncomfortable. I couldn't tell if the same gloves were being used to continue cooking afterward, and honestly, that's pretty gross and concerning from a food safety standpoint. If I were to get food poisoning, this would definitely be the first place I'd come back to question. As for the food itself, it was just okay. The burrito was edible, but nothing special--I've definitely had better. I'm giving one star for the burrito and one star deducted because of the lack of hygiene and professionalism. I'm not trying to knock down or harm a small business. I actually support local spots and want them to succeed. But when I see things like this, it really upsets me and makes it hard to recommend the place to others. I wouldn't suggest eating here until food safety practices improve, and I honestly think the public health department should stop by to check on cleanliness.sorry im not comming back. read more

I've been dining here for decades. It's one of the most solid lunch places in the area. You can dine cheaply or get the more expensive combination plates. Burritos and tacos good. Machaca good. Free chips when you buy food. Soda fountain and refills if you dine in. Salsa bar is good. Very quick. Nothing spectacular inside but it's clean and bright and there's plenty of parking. Can buy lottery tickets next door. read more

Best tripas tacos I've been had - crispy and didn't have a dirty intestine flavor. Pastor and asada are fine as well. Parking lot is small, but never had an issue finding parking. Typical taco place, lots of takeout but a few tables within for anyone eating inside. Service is quick, just order at the register. read more

I love this place and have been coming here for years with my family. I've always loved their tacos. Their salsas are very flavorful. Unfortunately, this past weekend when we visited, I ordered a taco plate and a campachana. Unfortunately, they've changed their tortilla size to " street taco" which is like a mini taco. Size of the taco changes, but the price is the same or grows . I don't understand why they would do such a thing. Pretty disappointed. The rest of the food was good. The octopus pieces were large and well cooked. read more

Great service, great food, great value! Consistent each visit. The restaurant has a cozy feel and small town gathering place atmosphere. read more

Chill spot for some quick carne asada fries that are extremely greasy but delicious nonetheless. I also like their unlimited salsa and tortilla chip bar, burritos are quite good. Everything is loaded with cheese. read more

We came here and ordered breakfast burritos to-go. They were fast with preparing our breakfast burritos, but we had a few issues. 1) the price-- this was our fault, but we ordered over the phone without checking the price. For 2 breakfast burritos-- my total was almost $29 (without tip). 2) There were too many potatoes in the burrito as filler 3) There were eggshells in BOTH of our burritos-- please see the attached picture. Tips: - There is a self-service salsa bar with chips - Red salsa was the spiciest, followed by the orange salsa -Green was the mildest The salsa bar was cool, but probably factored into the pricing of the food. Overall, we may look elsewhere as the prices were too high for the quality and portion size. read more

Their salsa bar is great, albeit questionable from a cleanliness standpoint. Someone had dropped a plastic cup in the salsa and it just sat there through my whole meal. Food portions were abundant. read more

My friends and I got 16 tacos in 5 different meat options (chicken, al pastor, asada, beef tongue, chorizo) and asada fries for lunch. Their corn tortilla texture is spot on, and I liked the variety of meat options they offer. The sauce was very spicy for me though, but I still couldn't stop eating them. I also really liked their salsa bar. read more

I am on a very official search for the best enchiladas in the area. Tres Potrillos was next on the list and I will say, this is probably the best food value I have found yet. The portions are very significant (we're talking like 2 pounds at minimum)! I got the cheese enchiladas combo and it was totally fine. It is not my new go to spot for them, but I also wouldn't be opposed to coming back. i might get a burrito or tacos next time? My spouse got a carne asada burrito which, again, was massive. It was also completely fine and is satisfying. The pricing feels fair to me, and it's all around a totally fine spot to go to for what we ordered. It also wasn't really much better to me than "totally fine" so I am not itching to return, but probably will at some point due to the location being super convenient and I'd be curious if the tacos change my mind! read more

La comida esta deliciosa, tiene su sabor autentico y las aguas frescas estan esqusitas! El servicio: Lupita me atendio bien, fue amable y respondio a todas mis preguntas. Lupita siempre esta trabajando ya sea manteniendo las mesas limpiando, asegurandose que la area de las aguas y chips con salsa esten limpios. sacando ordenes, barriendo y asegurandoce que uno de cliente este bien. El ambiente en la mañana es pasivo ya que en las noches hay ocasiones que he venido con mis familia y no hay kien te atienda y uno tiene que esperar alguien nos ayude y en ocaciones andan de mal humor. read more

Delicious, as always! During the week, this place is REALLY busy, so stopping by for lunch on Saturday was great. Only a few people were in line, and we were able to get a table inside. The carne asada taco plate was very generous with 3 street style tacos with fresh cilantro, onions and hot sauce (just like it should be) and lots of beans and rice. The super burritos are really big. They were generous with the carne asada, and the shrimp super burrito was full of fresh and juicy shrimp, and both burritos were loaded with all the extras. We will definitely be back for more soon! read more

If I could give this place a zero I would! I order a torta with no onions clearly said NO ONIONS because onions make me sick!! They bring me my torta and I can smell the onions in it, I go to check it and it has onions I tell the guy working and he says that he put no onions. He told me he was asking the cook and he said that it had guacamole but it did not have onions. I clearly showed him that there was onions in it and they refused to change my food. They said that it had no onions when the guy that took the order said oh yeah it has onions. I told him I could not eat it because of the onions and they offered me a box to go so I could take it home. I did not eat why the rest of my family did eat. This place is trash!!! Never coming to this place again!! read more

Didn't find the food to be of high quality. Had a bit of a stomach ache after my meal. 3rd time here. Portions are decent. Prices for tacos seem pretty high. Service pretty mediocre. This was my third and last time. read more

I tried to come in after work I got there at 10:30 ish and the store was close while ppl Whete eating kinda disappointed me since the store hours say your guys close at 11, I have had other bad experiences at tres Potrillos they always messed up my order when I say no onions read more

Burritos are good here. Orange salsa is also really good. Fast service! I recommend this place and will most likely be back.

i've never left a single review on yelp before, but today my go to taqueria was closed so i ordered from here. i got pozole and the hominy had a REALLY weird taste and color, almost like it was old. The Broth also tasted old and was super oily. I only got 2 chunks of meat and one was all fat and the other was so tuff and overcooked. Not saying the food here isn't good, but the pozole at least was really disappointing and almost completely inedible :/ read more

Used to be okay. Now the staff doesn't care that you exist. The prices are really high and the food isn't even very good. Go someplace down the street. By the barber. They're good read more

This place is extremely delicious and authentic. My only complaint is the customer service, but because the food is so damn good I'm sure they don't care too much about this. Hopefully they are paying their staff a decent living wage. I feel like this spot doesn't "cater" to no-latinos because only as a Mexican you would know how to order. I speak Spanish, but there is definitely a language barrier for the employees if you only speak English. Make sure you're clear so they don't mess up your order! One cultural misconception is that they need to ask if you want extremely spicy salsa on your taco. Don't get me wrong, I love spicy but what if this is for a child or someone who doesn't tolerate a Caliente salsa? Not everyone can eat that, especially if they assume you want salsa and don't tell you the level of hotnesses //se la vie // así es la vida ‍ read more

Was craving for some breakfast burrito after an early morning hike and stopped by this place. The burritos come, with eggs potato and cheese in them. We ordered 2 burritos and it took about 20-30 minutes for our order to be ready. The burrito itself was mediocre. It tasted good but contained very large pieces of potatoes. Burritos also came with chips and salsa which was good. read more

My wife is on a quest to find the best fajitas in the South Bay so we had to try this place. We arrived at about 5:30 and were able to pretty much walk right up to the counter. By the time we finished ordering there was a line to the door. My wife got the steak fajitas and I got the combo plate with an Al Pastor taco and a Chili Verde enchilada. They had a decent selection of beer. Only a few salsas to pick from but they were all delicious. The pickled carrots and jalapeños were a little heavy on Bay Leaves for our taste. The place was packed by 6pm. They have music playing and futbol on the TV. The place is relatively clean. You do have to pay attention for your number to be called over people talking and music. Plenty of parking! I thought that the fajitas at $19.99 were priced nicely. In summary I really enjoyed my combo plate, their rice is really good. My wife doesn't think she found the best fajitas in the South Bay, but she did enjoy them! Don't miss the Jamaica too! It's a little out of our way but it's totally worth checking out! We'll be back at some point! read more

Easy access from 101. Carnitas tacos: 4/5. Very flavorful and with fresh ingredients. The meat was shredded which is a little unusual for carnitas, but I liked it. My friend who used to come here very often mentioned that you can get tacos with crispy shells here, which is pretty cool if you like that. read more

An unassuming local joint that hits the spot - the kind of place that everyone and their mom knows about, by word of mouth. Every time I've visited, it's packed with regulars, with latin dance and/or ranchero music playing in the background. Over the course of several years, I've been working my way through their menu. I've come to appreciate their tacos (al pastor & carne asada), chile relleno, and anything with grilled nopales. I also really appreciate the giant salsa bar, and efficient service offered by the staff. If only they would serve tacos showcasing their grilled nopales... that would be a game-changer. read more

My wife and I have consistently ordered here from Doordash whenever we are craving Mexican food because it's been so consistent. Sometimes my requests don't get answered lol but tonight I had to right a review because I ordered asada fries with Al pastor but requested the fries to be separate so I could air fry it. It was packaged nicely and they hooked us up with their green sauce with is fire! Wow the fries were so good tonight :) made my night that I had to review it read more

Tres Potrillos - Al pastor fries with green sauce! - Mexican Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Summary: No-frills mexican diner with plenty of seating with a broad menu (though I've only really tried the burritos). The first time I went here, I had the best burrito of my life at this place. However, Tres Potrillos is inconsistent as when I next went back, it was very sloppy and mediocre. I would gamble again for that first burrito though... Good: When I went the first time, the burrito had a really great balance of savory meat and beans with freshness from the salsa verde and pico de gallo. The main thing I really loved here was tbe variety in textures and flavors. I am not exaggerating when I say it was probably the best burrito I've ever had. The burrito cost roughly $12, but it really fills you up - plus they have a chips and salsa bar to top you off! Bad: The second time I went, the burrito was oozing with oil from the pastor. The consistency became a homogeneous paste due to the sheer amount of beans which subsequently overpowered any amount of salsa or veggies in the burrito. Hated to see the burrito step so far back within only a few weeks! Ugly: Nothing to note! read more
