The *best* chips and salsa in Mountain View is Rooh's Cafe on Castro Street. I can't eat the fat loaded chips, and Rooh's makes their own in a non-fat way. The taste is wonderful, and the salsa always disappears rapidly when some friends and I go there.

Healthy mexican food without all that fat.  I like it.

Off the beaten path, a place called El Calderon at the corner of Calderon and Church streets in Mountain View is excellent.  They serve Guatamalen (sp?) food, I believe.  Different, nice and relatively inexpensive.  It's in a small strip mall with a laundromat, but it is good food.  The place is very casual, and it's worth your while to go there if you're nearby.
