Aha, a difference of opinion. I'm not a big fan of "Golden Wok" which does a lot of home delivery (I think there's another branch on Cal Ave in Palo Alto).

Also "Pasta ?" on Castro St, the second restaurant by the guys who started on University Ave in Palo Alto, seems too pricey at lunch -- they have the same menu for both lunch and dinner.

Been disappointed as well with Amici's Pizza further down towards El Camino -- expensive and nothing special. The most famous pizza places in Mountain View are "Frankie, Johnny, and Luigi's Too" on El Camino and "Tony & Alba's" on Escuela near Cost Plus, but "Tony & Alba's" was sold a few years back and there are no longer any waits (with good reason, it went downhill). FJ&L makes a more acidic pizza. Kapp's on Castro St. is OK too, IMO.

"Fiesta Del Mar" has a second restaurant near the M.V. postoffice on Villa. It's kind of easy to figure out the connection, since this one is named "Fiesta Del Mar Too." "La Fiesta" is sort of in a secret location, surrounded by auto repair shops in the very non-descript neighborhood further south down Villa.
