Fantastic shrimp aguachile and a really good grilled chicken super burrito. We are definitely going back. Next time I want to try the nachos.

We ordered a fried fish taco for each person, one order of the mamalones (steak and cactus), and the shrimp nachos. Every dish and bite was great. The fried fish tacos were our favorites here, with perfectly crispy batter and tender fish. A must-try when in Redwood City.

Delicious taco shop in downtown RWC. Their special tacos were definitely our favorite, though the pastor tacos were good too. There’s indoor seating and some outdoor seating. Street parking nearby.

La Cocina de la Abuela is a genuine and modest Mexican restaurant with classic dishes like burritos and tacos and hard to find dishes like gorditas. Their portions are plentiful just like a traditional meal from your abuelitas.

This is our favorite Mexican food in Redwood City! First of all, many dishes have amazing hand-made tortillas. The flavors are bright and bold, and all ingredients are extremely fresh. The service is always good. I prefer to dine-in, as every dish comes out hot and on nice plates.

I loved their regular Burrito w Pastor / grilled marinated pork for about $10. Comes with a nice spicy sauce on the side. Didn’t come with nachos though. Had it for take out but they have a nice outdoor seating area. Definitely coming back.

Overpriced. I was excited to try this place until I got my menu. Practically everything was $17-$25 dollars before tax, which no one would expect from a place with a pretty basic Nor Cal Mexican menu and a cheaply furnished 200 square foot dining room. It was also right next to a noisy Caltrain station but worst of all, no complimentary chips and salsa, despite the high prices.

Tortillas are handmade, ingredients tasted so fresh. Overall, absolutely the best fish and shrimp tacos I’ve had in the Bay Area. Service was great. Friendly, welcoming, family-run. Definitely a hidden gem.
