Probably the best breakfast burrito I have ever had. I love that this is not a chain and the chef really cooks FRESH FOOD. I am sure the eggs were just cracked and the bell peppers diced for my meal. It's hard to find real food these days. Come here, you'll love it.----EditI just received my bill, they have a QR code pay which i appreciate the option. My waiter Carlos was kind, efficient, and polite.

This was the old Whisper we used to go regularly. Now they changed their ownership we decided to give it a try. Mainly because they have a nice spacious outdoor patio setting, our two dog babies could really stretch out and relax there. It's a comfy food family kitchen style I'd say. We went on a sunny weekend for brunch. The food was actually really good. we ordered a few things. My favorite thing was the Shrimp Empanadas. Would highly recommend this one! He loved his mussels. The Mexican sushi roll was actually surprisingly good, with a little spicy kick, the presentation was very pretty. The service was very attentive. Overall we love the food and the setting, will be back.

This review is solely based on the fish and chips. Someone recommended the fish and chips and I went there just for that and it was legit. No frills, just solid pieces of cod with a good crispy, well-seasoned batter and crispy fries. Nothing mushy on the plate. Service was excellent and you could really feel the family-owned energy. So while I can't comment on the other dishes, I can say the fish and chips is legit and just as good as other pubs or restaurants in San Mateo so give them a try!

Decided to try this new spot out for breakfast this morning. The menu is small but has the basics. I believe the coffee had a hint of cinnamon which I very much enjoyed. Good and friendly service. The breakfast burrito got a thumbs up from the table. I thought the breakfast potatoes on the VK plate were a bit undercooked and lackluster. However, the bacon was crispy and pancakes were nice and fluffy.

Had lunch with a friend at the newly opened Victoria's Kitchen (located at the site of the former Whispers Cafe). The restaurant was clean and bright, and offered both indoor and outdoor seating.We were greeted right away by our friendly server. The menu is eclectic, offering steaks and seafood alongside selections of what they call "Mexican Sushi". Honestly, it was a not puzzling as many of the offerings seemed a bit upscale for the cafe decor, and it was hard to determine what the restaurant's identity is. Nevertheless, the food at the other tables looked good so we ordered.At the server's recommendation we had the spinach salad with grilled prawns and the jambalya. Complimentary sliced sourdough baguette and seasoned olive oil was also served. Both portions were generous. The spinach salad was very fresh, lightly dressed and the grilled prawns were tender. The jambalaya included chicken, mussels, and prawns. It was very tasty, albeit a little salty to my taste. I think it could've benefited from a little more heat in the form of cayenne pepper.The food and service will have me going back, but next time to try their breakfast menu. It'll be interesting to see how this restaurant evolves.

Friends and I happened to be in the area....one friend wanted sushi and came across this spot on Yelp....hmm 5 reviews with quite an eclectic menu...this isn't a sushi place! A little bit of everything I suppose...from steaks, pasta, seafood and Mexican sushi....interesting! Grand opening sign above the entrance and quickly welcomed...place wasn't busy with 1 other table finishing up. Decided to order their MEXICAN SUSHI: :: Mar y Tierra - shrimp, beef, cucumber, avocado, cream cheese, breaded and fried and topped with fake crab salad - different and good. The beef added nothing to this roll...maybe if they seared with some seasoning. 3.75/5 :: Volcano Roll - shrimp, cucumber, cream cheese, avocado, cream cheese, bacon and manchego - friend said bacon tasted different...not sure if bacon bits but she couldn't say...still thought 4/5 :: Guamuchilito - my friend who is vegetarian requested no shrimp, no crab meat so it looked like a Philly roll with the cream cheese. Still charged full price I'm not sure what makes it Mexican other than maybe the names, the cream cheese (in all the rolls) and "spicy orange sauce" accompanying the rolls along with shredded carrots... we all enjoyed our rollsFriends loved the simple mixed green salad and the clam chowder was decent...wasn't quite canned but not sure if made from scratch. Overall, 3.75 stars for Victoria's Kitchen Mexican Sushi. Good try averaging $23/roll and nice size. Menu does have variety but limited vegetarian: salads and one pasta primavera unless you ask for a Mexican sushi roll without the seafood.Family-run restaurant with friendly, attentive service. Krystal, our server did a great job with answering questions or double checking with her boss. Even one of the owners stopped by to ask how we enjoyed everything. Ambiance is cafe style (probably from the former business) with booths and plenty of tables...Mexican music playing with some Selena (heart) and Los Tucanes de Tijuana (of La Chona). Located in a small strip mall along El Camino Real...plenty of lot parking and nice, OUTDOOR seating. Average p/p with t/t: salads, soup, Mexican sushi, 1 drink and dessert $50. Will return to try other items when in the area. Note: Breakfast served as they open at 8am

Excellent upscale food for breakfast, lunch or dinner My new breakfast place too, had the VK omelette with large carved avocado on top and beautifully presented fluffy pancake. Reasonable prices for breakfast and large portions. Decided to try dinner and we tried each others sea bass, tuna and salmon. All were great including the mashed potatoes, rice, asparagus, Everything seems like home cooking and had a really good flavor. Although the atmosphere seems more like a coffee shop, the excellent food is what you should come for. Also when warm, sitting outside is very pleasant. I also enjoyed the very friendly staff the least 3 times I have eaten here. Eclectic menu so I plan to come back and try the pasta with seafood and mexican sushi .

I ordered a medium-rare protein burger for lunch and was delighted to receive a perfectly cooked, generously sized patty wrapped in fresh lettuce. It was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious!
