First the highlight: fantastic salsa bar with a variety of fresh salsa types. We got both a regular carne asada burrito and a super burrito with carne asada. The regular was average with a below average amount of ingredients. The super was a little better. The chips were pretty terrible. They and thick, hard and cold. They really need to be heated. Overall: the San Mateo area has a very competitive Mexican food scene and this was just OK as opposed to great.

Tried this new place nearby our house: we got smothered burrito, 3-tacos plate and horchata. Burrito: HUGE. Lotsa fillings and a little thick on the skin. Tacos: lengua, beef cheek, and carnitas. Their lengua and carnitas was amazing. I'll skip the rice and beans though, they're a tad bland. Chips & salsa: their spicy salsa was bomb. Their horchata, on the other hand, was not the best. Service was pretty straightforward, you ordered in the counter and the rest you'll be on your own. The guy seemed nice and knowledgeable about the product. Restaurant was really empty when we were there, so it was pretty quiet. The seating arrangement was ok, with salsa station in the corner. Was a little nice restaurant!

A nice homey taco spot! The owner was extremely welcoming and put a lot of care into preparing our orders for us. Since they just opened, he even offered us free horchata. Nice and refreshing!We ordered the huevos rancheros and super tacos with beef. The food was surprisingly pretty light, since we were worried that the food would feel really heavy. Salsas are solid, and the beef on the tacos was flavorful without being heavy.I noticed that the food here is pretty affordable, especially in this area of San Mateo, so this will go into my regular rotation of spots.

Very refreshing! Stopped in for a quick jamaica and horchata post-sushi across the street, but will definitely be back to try to the full menu after seeing the beautiful salsas and pico de gallo on the salsa bar and meeting the friendly proprietor.

Best guacamole in town and how did I miss they have a parking lot in back? Turn at the dumplings restaurant. This block has a few businesses doing very well making finding street parking challenging say at lunchtime. They have parking in the back!!

Love this place! It's my second visit and I'm sold. We've been exploring taquerias around San Mateo. I order a breakfast burrito with chorizo every time, and this is the best one so far. My husband ordered a super burrito and loved it. The guy working at the counter is SO nice, friendly and happy to see you. The decor is festive and inviting. Street parking but I've never had trouble finding a spot.

Definitely best taqueria in the area. The rice and beans are so tasty, I usually get carnitas tacos and they're delicious. The food is always fresh !

Driving down ECR this afternoon, saw this new restaurant and decided to give it a try. My DH and I each had a one soft taco plate with rice and beans, chips and salsa. Pork Taco, tasty and tender, not oily - 10/10Carne Asada Taco, plentiful, tasty and tender - 10/10Beans, very creamy, made in house - 10/10 (me)Beans, too creamy - 8/10 (my husband likes his beans a bit thicker) Rice, mildly flavored, perfectly cooked - 9/10Salsas, made in house and very tasty - 10/10Service, the young lady who took our order was very pleasant, patient and helpful - 10/10Price, $8.00 for each taco plate - 10/10There is a large screen TV above the salsa bar and the volume was set to a nice level; loud enough to hear the performers, but not so loud that we needed to yell to be heard.Great family owned restaurant, we'll be back!!

Good Salsa,decent chips,friendly service,but why is it ever necessary to put plain white rice,unseasoned in a $16.00 super burrito !?Nope,taste matters, very disappointing.

It was my first time here and I definitely recommend it! I got the nachos. Half Al Pastor/ Asada. Chips were great and salsa bar had great options, with excellent customer service from the guy behind the counter. The place was super clean too. 10/10 would definitely go again.
