La Michoacana Market

I have some reservations about posting this because more fame means more crowds, but what the hell, the Taqueria in here is outstanding! Their chicken tacos are top quality, their salsa bar is fresh and varied, their shrimp burritos are one of a kind, and their fried fish is sublime. These guys are the real deal, if you are looking for authentic, decently priced, fast Mexican food, and you are in the Menlo Park area then hit this place up. You will not be disappointed!

I come here for the chicharones! Dude, if I am to die of saturated fat, this is how I want to go, a fistful of deep fried pork fat and a fermented pineapple drink in the other hand.
They have a great fast food taco joint inside the supermarket too. I’ve been to 3 Brothers near by (which is more like 3 sisters) and the «Mi Pueblo» and I say this place rocks the most. I custom order my burrito with whatever random things come to my mind at the moment of ordering. Portions are huge. Tried the mole. It was ok. I’d go for a taco with salad or a custom burrito.
One time I came in with a co-​worker, laughing and horsing around while I buying my usual fistful of chicharones and carnitas. The butcher bagged my items and my co-​worker and I laughed and horsed around while walking out of the supermarket, and went on our way.
About a day later I saw empty chicharones bag and though, «hum, did I even pay that day?» I checked my wallet and still had a crisp $ 20 in one piece still. So I stopped by the place again and handed them the grease filled empty chicharones bag. I paid my $ 5.32 or whatever after explaining, «yes, I’m paying for an empty bag, sort of.» And I went on my merry way.

Was in the area a couple months ago, so decided to give them another try. Totally different experience that before. The food and service were GREAT!!! Have been back another 3 times. Totally love the food now.

Great place to stop and grab fresh meat and veggies for dinner when you don’t want to deal with the lines at Whole Foods, Mollie’s, or Safeway, etc.
Excellent quality meats. I wish they had a little more to choose from in the produce market but you can always find something. Regarding reviews that it is dark, it hasn’t been dark for the last year that I have been going here. And they are always friendly even to non-​Spanish speaking customers. I keep saying I have to try their burritos and will post a review when I do.

Great place to shop for groceries. Great and friendly staff.

When your students need snacks/​water for a basketball game this place is a life saver

Cool little full service Mexican market that carries, produce, seafood, meats and lots of Mexican specialty items. Got a half pound of chicharron con carne and a large bottle of Jarritos mineral water as part of my weekly grocery shopping. People are really friendly even if you’re not a native Spanish speaker

Nice produce, friendly community feel. Handy little take out with good tortas.

The taqueria here is really good for the price. The service is quick and you get good sized portions. The wet burrito is the size of someones forearm… no joke.
The space to sit inside is limited so I generally get my food to go. There is a self serve salsa and chip bar, which is nice since I like to go OD on my spicy salsa.
The market has all the things you would expect from a mercado, the mexican specialties, pan dulces etc. It has been clutch at times when I need to run in and grab something quickly before work or during lunch.
Pretty killer burrito, hefty portions for a reasonable price.

This is tucked away inside a Mexican grocery store so it’s a little tricky to find. Great tacos, great burritos and the best homemade salsa I’ve ever had. I eat here at least twice a week. The grilled fish burrito is not to be missed.
