4/26 Recommendations on south bay/peninsula food, where each dish
is less than $10?
\_ Japanese food place inside of Mitsuwa Marketplace
(Saratoga/MoorPark) in the Strawberry Park Mall. I
highly reccomend the Katsu Curry
\_ Decent bento for ~$5 in the Nijiya market at El/Grant in
MtnView.
\_ Any of the Burrito Triangle in Mountain View
with Taqueria La Bamba being the best (Rengstorff/Middlefield way)
\_ I personally like La Victoria near SJSU. Definitely try their
famous orange sauce and horchata drinks.
\_ I find that I enjoy Baja Fresh more than the more "authentic"
places.
\_ what are the other two?
Los Altos Taqueria and Taqueria Los Costena (spelling?)
Los Altos Taqueria and Taqueria Los Costenos (spelling?)
. LA's food is good and they give free chips. Costena has the
biggest burritos I have ever seen; but are not as good as Bamba.
\_ Ramen Halu, Mango Cafe

(there's only 3 items on the menu) with a half cooked egg.
\_ New China Delight, downtown Mountain View.
