For those of you that are fans of La Bamba it turns out that they have opened a second location in Mountain View. It is located on Castro (near central).

The menu looks the same with a few extra dishes thrown in. It also has a full bar.

Where will the new La Costena be?

You finally noticed?

I've yet to have a burrito from their new location that lived up to the other. But they're still damned good!

Yes, that's a few block from my house. Needless to say, I'm not overly impressed with the 3 or so visits I've made there. I miss La Costena's Mole.

Ah, yes, La Costena's Chicken Mole is the best. Had one of those burrito's the other day.

I just noticed that La Costena's second site (Camino Real) has been torn down. It looks like that strip mall is being rebuilt. I have no idea if Camino Real will return.

I have been surprised with the last couple of visits to La Castena. The line went all the way out the kitchen. Seems there for a while it was possible to just walk up and place an order.

I am a La Costena's Fan. The Mole is # 1..

squiddo · « **Reply #5 on:** December 30, 2008, 04:10:56 PM »

yep...burrito real used to rock. Switched some time back to another mexican joint. Ok but not as good and no mole. The center is going through a MAJOR renovation but again, no mole.

Have you tried El Paso's super chicken burrito? Not as good as La Castena's Mole but a darn good burrito.

squiddo · « **Reply #7 on:** December 30, 2008, 10:15:24 PM »

Yes! I have an it rocks. That thing is massive. Also good are their grilled fajita chicken tacos. Hungry now just thinking about them!

Among all the eat out options for New Year's Eve, we voted for two chicken mole burritos and three chicken mole tacos from La Costena. We did have sparkling wine to go with them followed by bailey though.

I'm just picturing the restaurant down the street from Hueco Tanks. Best ostrich fajitas I've ever had!

I had a damned good burrito at Super Taqueria (SJSU location) yesterday afternoon... And now I'm bringing dead threads back to life.

squiddo · « **Reply #12 on:** September 02, 2009, 08:35:36 AM »

oh boy....here comes the love of ST from Munge and the fear from Mr. Mud....Food is good, bathroom is bad. PS, I lived walking distance from that ST on Williams for years. I've eaten my share.

F'ueco · « **Reply #13 on:** September 02, 2009, 09:01:59 AM »

They did remodel the place a year or two ago. Is the bathroom as bad as it was before?

mungeclimber · « **Reply #14 on:** September 02, 2009, 09:56:51 AM »

Hollister Super Taqueria bathroom is nasty.

The SJSU location is nicely remodelled and tasty as ever!

lunch at La Bamba sounds so good right now. I'm starvin.

mynameismud · « **Reply #15 on:** September 02, 2009, 01:09:34 PM »

Beyond nasty. That place would not pass the test in a 3rd world country.

Cannot see going to ST with the plethora of good burrito joints in the Bay Area.

squiddo · « **Reply #16 on:** September 02, 2009, 03:10:44 PM »

yeah, I'm not denying that there are plenty of better joints. I actually would take Chipotle.....and with the new iPhone App done deal.

Speaking of good joints, in Manteca a few weeks ago I skipped the Agave (not a fan), passed up Chipotle and went into La Esmeralda. That place ROCKS! Great stop on the way home from the mountains. Fewer posers than the others too and very authentic.
