Sunnyvale,
CA

821 Borregas Ave
Sunnyvale,
CA

kim n. writes: This place is a close second to Taqueria Latina in flavor but probably gives it a run for it's money as a dive. It's in an isolated mini strip mall off the frontage road of 101 in Sunnyvale. It's completed surrounded by a residential area so I…
