I like Taco Bell, esp. the 99 cent menu, since I don't eat much anymore, being a 64 year old female with a small build.

The food at Andale's is really delicious, however, we've always enjoyed going for group parties at Pedro's over the years. It's a fun place to hang out.

Love Taco Bell, too, Gwen, especially the crunchy tacos with sour cream!

Jules! Thanks for the comment! I've eaten at Andale once and loved it and I've had a company party at Pedro's and loved it, too! You're right on, girlfriend. Appreciate your voice on the site. Thanks again!

Hi Elizabeth, definitely yes on Pedro's. I guess we're blessed in Los Gatos to have such fine Mexican/Latin food establishments. The more choices, the better for the consumers!

O K, I'm Mexican. I Pedro's is not Authentic Mexican Food. It's Def' TEX-MEX. Between Adales & Una Mas come the closes to being Authentic Mexican Food.

WE enjoy the Sunday brunch at Pedro's occasasionally but our favorite Mexican restaurant is in Cambell's Pruneyard, El Burro. Been going there almost 40 years.

Yes, where is La Esquina! Family Mexican place with quality Mexican food you do not find at chains!

I think Two Pesos is great! I think because of it's location it doesn't get much traffic. Great food at a great price!! Yummy!

Si señora, y con orgullo! Happy you clarified this! You're absolutely right, authentic Mexican food is not what's being served at some of these establishments. I think even the restaurants that come close to authentic are very Americanized! But the food is still muy deliciosa!

Mary and Kim, sorry La Esquina Restaurant was left out. I did put a call out at the end of the Chipotle article asking if we were leaving any other Mexican restaurant out and nobody responded! I guess we should have dug deepeer into our Los Gatos Mexican cuisine investigation! LOL. That means there's a total of 11 such eateries in town. Love it! We'll do something special on La Esquina soon! Thanks for reading and commenting. Happy viernes!

I meant I'll add El Burro to my own list of dining choices. I know it's in Campbell. Who knows, with the popularity of Mexican-style dining in Los Gatos, El Burro may open one here.

I'd have to go with Andale's out of all of those. P.S. Taco Bell most certainly isn't Mexican food. More like Mexican inspired American fast food.
