Tacqueria El Gruellense & Mardi Gras Bar



El Grullense has the biggest Mexican food menu I've ever seen and it's totally authentic!! Oh, and there are several of these by the same name, but all smaller, so don't go to the wrong one! There's even one nearby in an old Taco Bell, which is completely ironic.

DRIVE-IN TACQUERIA -- WALK TO $3 BEER & $4 DRINKS


Mardi Gras bar is barely two blocks away and has pool tables, a token/small patio and a lively scene of regulars plus frequent repeat party crashers. Oh...did I mention the dirt cheap full bar?! How d'ya like $3 beer & $4 well drinks? Uh-huh. Thought so.



DIVE-O-METER©

    Here's What Makes This a Cool Dive Bar, Fun Cheap Joint or Good Hole-in-the-Wall, On a Scale of 1 (less) to 7 (more) for:
    • 6 = Divey-ness
    • 7 = Cheap-ocity
    • 6 = Hole-i-ness
    • Conclusion... BOTH are Serious Dives & Mardi Gras is a definite Hole-in-the-Wall
    Bonus D/J/H cred for T.E.G. being a rippingly successful/popular Mexican joint that used to be an all-American burger drive-in, way back when.


Parking & Getting There

Here is a Google map to:

1280 El Camino Real, Redwood City

Parking is EASY here. Each place has its own lot with plenty of space. Park at either and walk the short distance between the two.

Standard Group Admin Stuff

RSVP "No" and comment, "WAITLIST" if an event is "Closed to new RSVPs"

ALSO -- PLEASE:
  • SKIP THE "NO" RSVP IF AT FIRST YOU CAN'T JOIN US!!!
  • Bring cash to keep things simple. Lots o' joints don't take plastic.

See you there!!

    • “ I was comfortable even though I didn't know anyone. It was well planned. The organizer was very informative about parking and other information. It was fun! ”
    • “ The taqueria was very good for the burrito I had and the little soft shell tacos looked to be good and cheap too. The band at Mardi Gras bar was very good, but so loud that you couldn't talk and nobody seemed to feel like dancing. ”
