When I first moved to Seattle, I asked for and received great ideas for lunch spots near where I worked. I'm on my way back to Silicon Valley and thought I'd ask for the same down here. I'll be on Middlefield near where the old Netscape buildings were. (by the 85 overpass).

Anyone have any great ideas for lunch spots? Especially anywhere new as I've been away for a few years.

I like cheap tasty food and am happy to try new things.

I'm looking forward to being back somewhere with good Mexican food. I've enjoyed the burritos at La Costeņa (some colleagues were partial to La Bamba, but I disagree). I liked the hand pulled noodles place on Castro in Mountain View. The Shawarmas at the Middle Estern place on California Ave in Palo Alto wer much to my liking, heard they opened a new place on University. Good sushi is always appreciated, when I was here before Seto Sushi in Sunnyvale was the place to go. I'll have a car so driving a bit shouldn't be a problem.

Basically looking for hidden gems are worth a try.
