I would recommend Estrellita's mexican restaurant.  It's in Mountain View / Palo Alto / Los Altos   on San Antonio Road, 200 feet south ("west") of El Camino Real.  This intersection is where both Chef Chu's restaurant, and Tower Records, are located.

Beware: Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow; expect a crowd.

My favorite is the Fiesta del Mar on Shoreline just west (south) of 101. The food is excellent, staff friendly and the salsa fantastic.

There's also a relatively new place on California Ave. in Palo Alto. North side of the street, about midway between ElCamino and the Caltrain tracks.  Similar menu to Fiesta del Mar, but not, IMHO, so good.

'Ay Caramba' in San Mateo just off 19th ave and El Camino in what used to be the 'Skinny Gormet' location, is one of the best I've been to in a long time and the prices are right too.  It is on the street right behind the Safeway there.

That street is called Palm Ave. and the restaurant is near where Palm intersects with South Street (an extention of South B Street)
