" La Cocina de la Abuela is officially my go-to for Mexican food! The enchiladas were rich, spicy, and absolutely delightful. The fresh tortillas were a highlight, adding to the genuine feel of the meal. I really enjoyed the cozy ambiance, making it a perfect spot for family dining. I'll definitely recommend this to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, La Cocina de la Abuela has the best tacos I’ve had this year! I tried their fish tacos and they were so fresh. The tortillas were simply divine. I definitely recommend stopping in here. It feels like you're getting a taste of home-cooked Mexican food every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered La Cocina de la Abuela after a friend recommended it and wow, am I glad I did! The cochinita pibil tacos were probably the best I've had since moving to the Bay Area. Everything tasted authentic and fresh, and the generous portion sizes made for a very satisfying meal. The owner was really friendly and welcoming, which made the dining experience even better. Can't wait to go back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe how amazing the food was! The al pastor taco I had was bursting with flavor and the portion size was just right. It's one of those places where the simple décor doesn't matter because the food speaks for itself. However, the service was slightly slow during peak hours, so keep that in mind. But overall, it’s a lovely hidden gem in Redwood City. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Cocina de la Abuela has become my new favorite spot for tacos! Each time I visit, I find something new to fall in love with. I recently had their fish tacos, and I must say, they rival those I’ve had in Mexico! The crispy batter and tender fish are a match made in heaven. The atmosphere is casual, making it perfect for a quick meal or a sit-down feast with friends. Can’t recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

The carne asada has just the right seasoning and the portion size is reasonable. Service was friendly and prompt even during the lunchtime rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! La Cocina de la Abuela is the epitome of authentic Mexican cuisine. The fish tacos were some of the freshest I’ve ever had, and they were served with delicious pico de gallo. The atmosphere is unpretentious, and the staff are super friendly. I will absolutely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)
