TaquerÃa La Bamba
Great burritos.
Chilis Grill & Bar
Fu Lam Mum Sea Food Restaurant
Dim sum is the staple of this restaurant, so come here hungry! Most dim sum plates cost between $3-5, and with the endless parade of food being served, you're guaranteed to walk away full. The shrimp and pea sprout dumplings come recommended.
Shezan
The location formerly occupied by Sue's Kitchen and Godavari, in another incarnation now holds a Pakistani restaurant with superb food full of subtle flavors.
St. Stephens Green
Stiff drinks, good pub food and plenty of standing space available, St Stephens Green is perfect for happy hour drinks or just a casual meet up with friends. Although an Irish pub, it seems that hip hop is the vibe of choice here.
Bangkok Spoon
Hong Kong Bistro
Western-style food from Hong Kong, vestiges of a colonial era.
Chef Liu
Excellent, inexpensive, Taiwanese Chinese food
TaquerÃa Los Charros
Mexican food. Excellent tacos, and many other choices.
The Posh Bagel
Bagels, sandwiches, crepes, and grilled panini.
Garden Fresh
Vegetarian Chinese.
Gelato Classico
Italian ice cream.
Fiesta del Mar
Serves delicious sea food dishes as well as the famous and elusive Enjococado chicken.
Fiesta del Mar Too
Vive Sol
Specializes in cuisine from the Pueblo region of Mexico. An outdoor seating area makes this a great place to go on a warm summer evening.
There are other great eateries in Mountain View not on Castro Street:
There are some wonderful Mexican restaurants in the area serving Poblano style food.
Kirin
Look past the fish tank crawling with lobsters outside and look in for some cheap and tasty Chinese food. Parking is accessible and the service is quick.
Castro Street is the main downtown area with many restaurants and bars. East and South Asian food is available in abundance, but it is by no means the only choice. Watch the hours of operation; most restaurants in Mountain View are not open very late. A good list of restaurants in Downtown Mountain View can be found here (http://www.mountainviewca.net/).
