usually, i went to taqueria los gallos in hayward where the albertsons was. The seasoned, stewed chicken meat was really good inside the super burrito with the beans, pico, guac, cheese, rice, *drool*... Haven't found a place in socal yet that matches that one.

EDIT - Forgot to say that this was the one in Fairway park on Mission Blvd.

Taqueria La Cumbre in San Mateo next to the 1st ave CalTrain station is my personal favorite.

I also used to like Senor Taco on El Camino in Palo Alto, now I hear its something else and better, but I havent been there in a while.

la costena right next door to la bamba is good, but not as good as la bamba
Um, it's the other way around


La Costena won best burrito in mt view 9 years in a row.

La Bamba has won best taqueria or something like that. they can't share the same award, and La Costena has the plaques and banners to prove it.

Haha, just say "regular pollo"? Cuz on every menu (I looked it up for you BTW cuz I was curious myself), it says "pollo" for the plain chicken and "pollo asado" for the grilled.

yeah, i think when i they hear "chicken"+ gringo = grilled chicken.

I always feel weird when i speak spanish, like im not allowed to. but i guess single words are alright

I've just stood behind too many white boys that order in spanish, and i LOL haha
