50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Belmont

“Great tacos! The buche, carnitas, and cabeza were all really good (and large/meaty). Each one had a different delightful texture but cabeza was my favorite.... so tender! Fresh salsa bar and free chips are a huge plus. Also the free deep fried jalapenos was a nice touch. Next time I've gotta tried that awesome looking giant fried fish plate.“

“Food is fantastic! I usually order a super burrito and it has never disappointed. Meat is cooked to perfection, rice and beans are always delicious, their salsa is very spicy and very good! I'll definitely change it up next time I go, but they have been very consistent every time I go.

Service is okay, not the best, as some of the seem shy or embarrassed to talk. But not rude by any means. They at least offer chips, water, etc.

I love the location and parking is very easy. The lights and windows make it look nice at night!“

“Needed to feed my plumbing repair crew nearby, so stopped at Coyote and got several burritos and large sweet orchatas.
The carne asada was really good, and so too was the pollo asado - the super size burritos were substantial and the crew was stuffed - no seconds needed.
The chips were fresh.
The Coyote crew put the to-go order together very quickly, and we're friendly and courteous.
Good place for good food.“

“I always come here on Mondays when I work in San Carlos. One of the best burritos and quesadillas I ever tried so far. The portions are huge, barely can finish it. Very delisious and juicy burritos, specially shrimp one. Nice service, the lady very friendly, and always smiles. Defenetly reccomend👌🏼“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“Delicious food, super friendly service. A little slower than a typical restaurant, but that’s because everything is made to order and not sitting around in a pan waiting to be served. The food was amazing, and so pretty!“

“I love Cuco’s!! All women staff. They do everything right.“

“My son and I YELPED for Mexican food.Good Mexican Food, and decided to give this place a try. I had the Spicy Shrimp Plate, and my son had the Steak and Spicy Prawns. They also provide Tortilla Chips and a Salsa Bar. The guy who cooked our food, knows how to cook! My shrimp was absolutely a balance of green/red peppers, onions, in a slightly sweet, savory and mildly spicy sauce. The Rice was done just right(not dried out).The Black Beans, were tender, with just the right amount of salt. The Iceberg lettuce and sliced radish was cold, fresh and crispy— Served with a dollop of sour cream, avocado sauce; a slice of tomato and sprinkle of Mexican cheese top the salad - it did a nice job to balance the heat of the main course. Everything was well executed. The overall indoor atmosphere is very clean, simple and no frills. Love their neon menu signage. And, their prices are reasonable. Thank you for the delicious meal. We will be back.“

“If you land in SFO and you want some amazing authentic Mexican food within range THIS IS THE SPOT!

Neighborhood place, super friendly staff, and the food is delicious!!

I recently ordered the steak and shrimp quesadillas (pictured) for the first time but the tacos and burritos are 👑 !“

“Great food an Service. Friendly staff and generous portions.“

“I loved my experience there - great food and cocktails.“

“The portions are large and cooked with love. Everything on the menu is fantastic. The staff is friendly and actually cares about their customers. A really fantastic secret little jewel to go enjoy“

“Still the best kept secret in San Mateo. I’m moving tomorrow and this food is what I’m going to miss the most. The portions are generous, the price is affordable, the service can’t be beat. Cash only. Small parking lot. Family owned and operated. The carne asada is delicious! Actually I haven’t had a bad meal here. Take away is available. You won't be disappointed . Skip the la cumbre and pancho villa. Come get the best!“

“La Tapatia makes The Best " Carnitas " I've ever tasted "Muy Bueno" I buy Some at least 4x a month with freshly made Corn Tortillas ummmm 👍“

“Got the super tacos and the Ramen. The beef taco was just insane. The flavor of the beef was unmatched. The soup was just as incredible. I dumped my remaining sauce from the super tacos into it and it just melted in my mouth with that fall apart beef. BEST damn Ramen I've ever had.“

“Love this place so much! Some of the best tacos I've had in quite a while. I got 3 tacos. 2 al pastor and 1 asada. The meat is fresh and the right amount of flavor and the salsa on the tacos are perfect. What's nice is they also have a salsa bar where you can get a bag of ships and different salsas. Definitely going back again“

“Do you love going to Flavortown? How about dreaming with your eyes open? Then try these birria tacos. The first time I had it was from leftovers that my daughter brought home for lunch. Then I drove from Oakley to San Mateo to have them fresh. It was AMAZING! They provide extra stuff to add to the tacos, but it honestly didn’t need them. The meat was so tender & flavorful that I had to close my eyes so I could fully appreciate the taste. Then I added the extras one by one & it tasted like a new taco each time. I know it seems like I’m exaggerating, but it’s really that good! My only wish is that they had seating nearby & a second location closer to Oakley.“

“Me encanto les pedí un pastelito para mi niño y ellos le cantaron las mañanitas .no lo esperaba me gustó mucho!!!“

“VERY GOOD. I almost gave it a 5. The pasta is overcooked so I would ask for al dente next time. The linguine carbonara was the star - definitely getting it again.

The penne with sausage was good but id try something else next time

Drinks were just ok, maybe they were having an off day.“

“The food is delicious. The sauces really stand out here at Palo Alto Sol. See my review at EssentialPaloAltoRestaurants.com“

“Deep fried burritos! It is listed under burrito/chimichanga on the menu. We tried one steak $12.25 and one shrimp $13.25 deep fried burrito. These were wonderful. All this time, I'm eating non-deep fried burritos when there are more variations. The tortilla was fluffy, easy to chew and the ends were the best part. It wasn't oily at all. Our appetizer was a super nachos with carnitas $12. This was huge. We were both full walking out of there.

La Paoma was busy at lunch on a Wednesday. Service was excellent. The food didn't take a long time to come out. Free chips and salsa when we sat down. This is a fun restaurant that will put you in a good mood the rest of the day. Thank you everyone at La Paoma.“

“The Super Shrimp Burrito is the best thing on the menu, idk what the chef does back there but he’s amazing. I literally come here maybe once every 2-3 weeks just because it’s so good. best thing to do is get chips and put it in the burrito. Fire!!!“

“Best Chile Verde I have had in years! Excellent food, friendly staff, and pleasant setting.“

“Great food. Fantastic value. Don’t tell people, it’s already too popular 😃“

“Hadn’t been here in nearly 30 years, we moved to Seattle, but back for vacation. Had to have the Cancun platter. Just like I remembered!!“

“delicious food. very kind staff. will definitely be back.“

“Excelente atención los tacos 🌮 de pastor y zuadero riquísimo el agua de horchata riquísima 100%recomendado“

“I only submit reviews in situations where the experience was outside the norm in some way. In this case, the Nachos that I just scarred down might be the best I've ever eaten in my 40 years of life. I wish I took a picture before I started eating them because the chips were stacked really neatly with the toppings on top. It was actually very esthetically pleasing, which I assume probably took some effort. Well, it didn't go unnoticed. Absolutely delicious!!“

“buenísimo 👍lo recomiendo 💯💯💯“

“I've had many dinners her with a group that can fluctuate between a couple folks to 8+ and we always enjoy the meal. The food quality is always solid. And though one doesn't normally expect anything special from counter order service, here the staff is always kind, attentive and generous with servings.

I'm a fan of the tostada bowl but the menu has got ample variety including limited but solid vegetarian options.“

“Not fancy just great Mexican food done right I go from San Jose just to eat here. The best and I mean best tripa and lengua tacos in the bay. Get extra green sauce and a little red to go. And carrots and lemon. Squeeze the lemon. Hit the salsa and enjoy“

“LOVE coming here!!
The gentleman that takes the order and payment is very kind and the food is extremely delicious.
I visit Olivia's on special occasions but it would be heaven to come here everyday!
Many thanks Olivia's!!
Marcus“

“Living just two blocks away, I made it a weekly ritual to dine here, and it remains my absolute favorite spot for street tacos. While I miss the salsa bar, a casualty of the pandemic, it was heartening to find the tacos tasting just as delicious as they did six years ago during my recent work trip. It's reassuring to see that this gem is still thriving.“

“Food delicious and authentic“

“It's one of the best Mexican food restaurants in the area. They offer many home style cooked meals, but I usually go on the weekends to eat their beef barbacoa. They serve it in tacos or as a stew in a bowl to which you can add the salsa, onion, cilantro and lime. In addition they provide hand made tortillas which is the best way to have it. With great service and ambiance it no wonder people keep coming back for more.“

“Each meal I’ve had here has been consistently fresh and well-prepared. Did I mention delicious? The staff is friendly and attentive.“

“Everything here is good but I have to say the Huevos Ranchero and the birria tacos are the best on planet earth. The handmade tortillas are absolutely delicious. The young lady who works at the front is so kind and has a warm welcoming personality. I live in Sunnyvale but I try and eat here any time I'm in the area.“

“un sabor authentic Mexicano. tortillas hechas a mano. Todo muy sabroso.“
