Fast service, filling and tasty burritos and tacos. Chips included in takeout containers. Green salsa is delicious too.

I'd say this place was better than average, but not excellent. I love Mexican food and always get a burrito - my burrito here was big and grilled, which I love. It could have been a bit more flavorful, but it was definitely fresh. The sangria wasn't great, but service was attentive.

My mother & I stopped at Mama Coco for a lite lunch. I’m visiting from OH, so I haven’t heard of any of the new restaurants in town. Grew up in the area, so any new places to eat is exciting, especially since many restaurants leave the area as well. We have this establishment a try. It was decent although the music was a bit loud (about 10 diners at the time). The service was quick. The food was fine. Has a cup of tortilla soup, which was more chicken soup. Also had a tostada bowl (forgot the name), it was good. I liked the dressing although the chicken was a bit cold, due to the salad (maybe?), it was good. We even had the McChurro, which was yummy but a bit hot (burned my lip). Overall, good food but nothing to special. Not the best, but I’ve had worse. I doubt we’ll be regulars.

I had seen this restaurant every time I was up in the Bay Area for months, so when I ended up finding parking closer to this restaurant than to the one I’d planned to visit, I decided to try it. The menu was a little limited and traditional, but fine. I ordered the shrimp, which basically turned out to be fajitas. Not my favorite, but fresh and well-cooked. The service was very pleasant and fast. They quickly brought me tortilla chips with a mild salsa verde, and I decided to get a margarita with my lunch, which was strong and tasty. The prices were a little on the high side, but it was a pleasant place to sit, and rents in Menlo Park are high. Am I dying to return? No. Might I end up there again? Yes, and I wouldn’t regret it.
