Amazing food! This is now our go to Taqueria when in the bay area. Incredible tacos. The bucha and tripas were crispy, flavourful, and HUGE!

Cash OnlyStaff were very friendly and despite my lack of Spanish, we were able to communicate very well.Had the Al Pastor burrito and it was amazing, my sister enjoyed her Asada burrito.Very homely atmosphere, nothing too fancy or a place for a date, but a good place to grab a bite to eat with your family.

I absolutely love this restaurant! It's a family owned taqueria, and I have been in there numerous times for their soup!The chicken authentic Mexican soup is by far my favorite! I like it so much, that they got to know me by name! They cater to my special order. (No onions, no tortillas, extra chips and add avocado!) love love love this place! It's definitely my go to!

$3.50 per taco4.45 Oz per tacoMeat was well flavored and had the right amount of grease. The tortillas were correctly grilled and the salsa was delicious. Tacos don't get much better than this!Two others and I decided to embark on a taco trot through downtown San Mateo's taquerias to uncover the pinnacle of street taco perfection. We only judged the tacos and not any other amenities of the taqueria.We ventured from one taqueria to the next, leaving no stone unturned to find the ultimate street-style taco. Each of us had a distinct mission: one to evaluate carne asada, myself al pastor, and the third pollo tacos.Our rating system spanned meat, salsa, tortilla, overall quality, and value. We sampled our way through all nine downtown taquerias (excluding food trucks, grocery stores, and pupuserias).After tallying the scores, we reached a unanimous consensus on the top four contenders. These taquerias stood out for their commitment to delivering unparalleled street tacos. These are the only places in downtown to which we'd return: Charlie's, Los Primos #1, Al Vapor Nueva Italia, and Pancho Villa.

Four years later and still amazing service and food. As always I'm ordering for the office and it can get complicated but I don't think they've ever messed up an order. In fact they're so thoughtful and provide extra sauce, chips, and grilled onions. Thank you to the entire staff.

4/5 for sure, definitly recommend coming here. Reading the reviews I was a little mixed prior to our visit. Fair to note also, Google and signage says 9am, but the open at 10am. No big deal our wait was well worth it.I deconstructed my sons burritto when it arrived because it looked so huge. Most places you would unroll it and find mediocre amounts of mixed up blah. The presentation on all of these burrittos were spot on!!! They placed everything so it was in every bite and we might have well had asked for extra meat because they did NOT skimp out on that like most places. Everything tasted fresh, came to the table fast and the staff was very friendly. This is hands down the best rice that I have ever had!!!**Additional note, this would totally be a 5 star review if they had deep fried ice cream on their menu . This is always a go to for me at any Mexican food place.

We've been patronizing this small place for many years because of its good food, pleasant service, and modest prices. We'll continue to do so.

The al pastor burrito here is the BEST one I've tried in all the taquerias around this area -- well flavored meat, cheesy texture, good amount of fillings, it's got it all. The one downside is that it's cash-only, and the indoor ATM machine to withdraw cash is basically robbing you with its service fees, so carry your own cash before you come here!
