50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Burlingame

“The food is not only amazing and delicious but beautifully presented. Gabriel and Daniel are very nice and accommodating. We went there yesterday after a memorial for my brother in-law. This is a must try restaurant you won't be disappointed. Thank you so much for being so cheerful and making delicious food. I wish they had this place back in the day when I used to play and coach soccer at Murray field.“

“Excellent and affordable tacos in downtown Burlingame.Quality: 5Value: 5Service: 4Ambience: N.A.They have $2-3 tacos that are AWESOME. Every flavor we got was great except the chicken. Good carne asada, good al pastor, and they have cabesa most days, too.It's hard to complain at this price!Yes, they only speak Spanish, and yes, the parking lot is only for the mechanic shop (and the mechanic will shoo you out if you try to park there).But for just picking up amazing tacos at amazing prices, who cares about ambience?Our new go to spot to avoid the bougie nonsense of Burlingame avenue.“

“Food so good. Super steak burrito.... *Chefs kiss* my mom said her shrimp burrito was so good. They know what they are doing in that kitchen! We sat outside and they brought us a heater when we asked . I love It I will be here again over and over again:)“

“In search of a late lunch and the gorditas here caught my attention. Order comes with 2, and I went with the chicharon. May look small, but it was filling. Loved the texture of the crispy masa shell. Flavors of the inside was good, too - would've liked more of the chicharon. I'd definitely return as there are other menu items I'd like to try.“

“Update - new vegan empanadas are great! They are filled with mushroom and vegan feta, very filling and tasty. They have always had vegan options since they opened, delicious plantains rice and beans. It's a local small business with an owner who cares. They added vegan meats now as an option which was something I've been asking for. Updated from previous review on 2023-01-24“

“Came here last night on my home. I ordered the chicken enchiladas plate with green sauce and super carne nachos. Well seasoned and delicious. Chatting with the lady at the register and one of the cooks who I think were the owners while waiting for my food. Very nice folks. I will be back to try the other items.“

“We ate at La Viga Seafood & Cocina Mexicana. It was nice. I thought it would be a bit fancier because I saw it recommended somewhere. The seafood dish with different kinds was really good, especially the shrimp. The tacos cost $6 each, which seemed a lot, but they tasted great. The chips were the best part—they were not greasy and very crunchy. They gave us two kinds of sauce; the green one was the best. The cold beer was also really good with the food. Even though I expected something a bit different, we liked it a lot and want to go back to try more dishes.“

“This torteria is hella underrated! They are hella good! We got one torta cubana (btw it's impossible to eat one unless you have a big appetite). We also got a torta de pierna equally big and delicious. If you are a first timer, definitely get the torta cubana it won't disappoint! The service was good and there is seating inside the place. The order time was quick. Please try them, they are delicious and worth your money.“

“Aesthetically pleasing! We had to return this second time - the service and food was constant with the first visit. For starters we had the tator tots w/elote - such a great combo!! We enjoyed the salbutes with the perfectly seasoned carne asada as well as the tacos. They're drinks can't miss!!“

“The small shop offers a large selection of foods in the menu with interesting Mexican drinks on the shelf. The host is very friendly. I ordered a Latin bowl, and it is tasty, healthy in a big portion. Will certainly come back to try other items.“

“I am from SoCal, so I tend to compare it to my local restaurants. With that said, it is definitely good but definitely not 45 mins to 1 hr wait for the food. I can get the same @ Pepe in SoCal in 10 mins or less. That would be my only complaint. The food is definitely delicious.If you are in a hurry, you will be disappointed with the long wait. Their asada was really good.Basically no parking except street parking and that was limited.“

“I had the pork cochinita pibil burrito and it was delicious! It was not overpowered by the typical sour cream, lettuce or cheese. The chicken adobo was exquisite! The chicken was so flavorful, tender and juicy! We will definitely come back to try other dishes. Thanks Chef Arturo for introducing us to Mayan/Yukatan cuisine!“

“I absolutely love this place, the food is great, good quality and reasonably priced.I frequently order for lunch or dinner, and food is always SO GOOD.Visited the place for the first time and is a very clean place, with good energy, and these lovely ladies that were on top of my order and treated me like a queen.Highly recommend the Super Burritos (is my favorite dish here) and quite unique, have not found another place as good as them.“

“This was a special treat because I hadn't decided on where to eat and we figured that's pop in here when the other place that I wanted to go was full and so it was a pleasant Experience for all that it served -- great food, great ambience, lovely presentation and very pleasant folks who attended to our every request. While we were having brunch I wasn't too keen on having a tequila; which is part of what they also offer and they have their own distillery and make some of the finest mescal according to the owner who was also there. Overall a great place for any occasion. #TheBrokerWithAHeartParking: Small lot which fills up fast.“

“I'm a loyal customer of the Zumix juice truck on El Camino and by random chance I decided to walk over to Jovanni's taco truck (parked right next to each other). I started off light with the first visit and ordered a plain carne asada taco with no salsa or fixings. I personally always want to see if an establishment has good meat and a tortilla for a foundation. My next visit I ventured to the Carne Asada Super Taco and I fell in love. The flavors from the salsa and meat are perfectly balanced, the perfectly grilled tortilla has a bit of a nice char to it and lastly the cheese melt on the tortilla isn't overwhelming. I also enjoy the fresh cucumbers they serve with it and the grilled onions on the side. I come here 1-2 times a week now it's just absolutely worth your time to stop and grab a bite.“

“I am from Texas and we have amazing Mexican food there, but las chiquitas exceeded my expectations! I had the chicken chile relleno, and it was delicious! I love their pozole too’ you can’t go wrong with this place! Great food, prices and service!“

“Great food, super friendly and welcoming staff, and really fun atmosphere! My family's been going here for years and every time we return we're always welcomed with open arms and smiles. The sangria is super yummy and I always love their tamales.“

“Omg are you kidding me? Wow I walked in and I'm astonished the food is not dried up Rice. The food is such great quality. I am so fortunate. I live in San Mateo where I can actually how to go to Whole Foods and get a stupid plate like spend like 75 bucks on a meal for myself. This is the most fabulous pies you don't even know how fortunate you are to live in San Mateo county but I'm letting you know this please I swear to God you're gonna love it. By the way, best mannerism after Covid people are not nice. When you go to restaurants, they act like they do you a favor. These people are amazing. I'm astonished I'm sucked into this joint. You guys can take it or leave it.!!!“

“This is a great spot to buy taqueria burritos, tacos and more. It's a small deli and grocery store. I go to this store for their take out or for items to make my own Mexican meal. I stopped in today for their carnitas by the pound, creama, and avocados to make my own carnitas fries. They have all kinds of premade guacamole, salsa, cheese, tortillas, and everything you need.“

“I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Their food is exceptional and their service is 10/10. They recognized me from a previous time and comped my meal because they gave me the wrong order last time. Thank you so much, guys! My favorite Mexican spot from now on. Homemade tortillas are also amazing!“

“Family-owned Peruvian Restaurant. We tried the Saltado with Beef Tenderloin and the Beef Empanadas. The Beef Tenderloin is tender and delicious. The empanadas are flaky and filled with seasoned ground beef. Everything is fresh-tasting. My wife and I shared this meal and it was much more than two of us could eat.Parking: The restaurant is on the corner of Falcon Ridge Parkway and Bertha Howe Avenue. Park in the Mohave Dermatology parking area and walk to L.A.M.A. The door to the restaurant is on the Falcon Ridge Parkway side.“

“Their tacos hit a little different. It’s hard to explain but their flavor and salsa combination on their tacos resonate with me. Give them a shot, get at least 1 taco, customize it how you like, if you don’t like spice, ask for green salsa. Prices haven’t gone up over the years, great restaurant.“

“Stopped by this place to grab some dinner, and their "wet style" super burrito sounded like just the thing. Me and my girlfriend both got one with different meat options to split. The service was not particularly friendly, but that may not be the case if you happen to speak fluent Spanish. So, your mileage may vary there. That said, we were absolutely not prepared for how super the "super burrito" actually was haha. You can see in the pictures I took, the burritos were enormous. They were really good, though! Just prepare yourself for one of the largest burritos you've ever seen in your life if you order the super burrito.“

“Stopped by for some Mexican food and this little spot was surprisingly delicious! I got the super quesadilla and it did not disappoint. Free chips and salsa was also legit. No wonder this place was bustling at lunch. Best Mexican food that I've had in Pacifica!They also have a nice little patio in the back with lots of picnic tables - great outdoor seating option on a sunny day!“

“Damn El Charrito, you got me craving those flavors. After doing some grocery shopping in Colma, we decided to try a new (to us) taco truck which is located near the Wendy's in Colma/Day City border area. We were surprised to see so many 5 star reviews, but now I know why. We decided to get a couple burritos, my BF wanted a Carne Asada and I wanted the Birria. Both were huge and had half for lunch and the rest for dinner. What I really loved was the salsas! They gave us free chips with three types of salsa; a roasted pepper tomato that was spicy, a habanero that was also spicy but so tasty I couldn't stop eating it and the last was a green salsa that was less spicy but very flavorful.“

“Literally a HOLE in the wall spot lol. Service was quick and easy, wait times were reasonable and there is a lot of parking. Because they only do takeout, it's easy to pop in and out. The Beef Birria was so good; full of flavor and meaty. The taco was thick and cheesy. So glad we found this! I highly recommend this place!“

“I had 2 chicken enchilada with refried beans and a salad. It was just the way I like it.Then you help yourself to the salsa bar for added condiments and chips.Also they serve a little sour cream if you ate something a little more spicy to cool your mouth. At least for me that works.“

“The food is good. Service too but is not a full service to your table. So, if you expect enjoy a coffee and refilled at your table is not going to happen. Because you order at front , pay and pick up your food at the front as well.Food is delicious and the portions are descent for the price.They sell chapulines too.Note: no parkin.“

“The place is small, but the food is decent. I purchased one wet burrito and 2 super burritos. The super burritos suppsed to come with cheese and everything, but it didn't have any cheese in it. Nonetheless, the wet burrito is quite tasty.“

“This is the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in the entire SF Bay Area. And I would say it comes super close to being San Diego level.The waffle fries are amazing. Super good portion sizes. The breakfast burritos are super filling too and they put waffle fries in them which is a super nice touch.I love their orange sauce too.“

“The best food from El Salvador are the pupusas. There are very few places where you can find delicious pupusas and this is one of them. The cabbage salsa was not perfect but acceptable. The papas con chicharrón was well prepared and had a very good flavor but very little chicharrón and the tamales had a pleasant flavor but not to my taste“

“Food was great. Filled with fantastic flavors. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Many great options to choose from. From a burrito, enchiladas, or the bowls.Kid-friendliness: Has many great food for kids. The quesadilla was great as well a the enchiladas.“

“The caldo de pollo (Monday's only) and caldo de res (Tuesday and Friday only) here is amazing. Agua fresca flavors are delicious too. If you go there for lunch dine in, it's best to go early or later (not exactly at 12) or get takeout.“

“A tasty place to stop on the way to SFO. The fish tacos were just alright, but the chicken tacos were TASTY. My friend had a chimichanga the size of her arm and we both tried the horchata, which was delightful. I have a feeling this is a better experience for people who eat pork.“

“Arrived by car 30 minutes before closing. We had a parking spot right in front of the taco truck on the street. I found this place searching Google seafood restaurants near me! It was to my surprise that it was a taco truck! No worries, we ordered the tacos dorados. They come in a plate of four for $14. They had avocado and the best tasting shrimp combined with the crunch of the taco shell! So good. Came with red salsa that turned up the heat. The tacos were like the kind of food that you keep eating even though you are full!! I felt great after four, but honestly could have had another four! There are plastic chairs to sit down, but it's way better to take the food to go. I'm glad Google suggested this place, perhaps it was the best seafood near me!“

“Stopped by here for lunch and I have to say don't pass this place by!! It's right next to one of those touristy bigger Mexican restaurants but don't go there.. go here!! It looked like it was closed and there wasn't a clear sign when we drove by but it was definitely open. We had the asada taco, grilled fish tacos and the super quesadilla! The tacos were fresh and flavorful and they don't skimp on the servings which is great! The quesadilla is so flavorful. Friendly and fast service too. Highly recommend!“

“The food is delicious- consistently. It is a bit of a hole in the wall , but again delicious food. My only gripe is the consistency with the cashiers. One time in particular, one of the brothers was training a new girl and she didn’t ring in one taco i ordered. Once my food arrived and I noticed , the brother said I wasn’t charged and when I went to pay with my card he enforced the minimum card purchase rule. This was extremely annoying because 1. This was the their error 2. I’m a regular.He should have either made an exception or given me the taco at no charge . Instead I got no taco . This made me not go back for over a year. This lack of customer service could really detour business. I have not had an issue since starting back and the food is just delicious“

“It's a decent spot in Pacifica for Mexican food. We did an early weeknight dinner, deciding to order big. Wet burrito with al pastor. Huge, with melted cheese and a lot of red sauce. I liked the flavor and composition of the filling, but the sauce just wasn't great. It tasted just like a regular tomato sauce. I want more dried chile flavors. Tomato should be a background flavor. The meat though was tasty. I opened up the burrito just to get the last bites of pork even when I was stuffed lol. Birria tacos. 3 double wrapped tacos with consomme. They were really filling and satisfying. I think they were a bit under-seasoned, even with the broth. But, the texture was on point. Carne asada plate The usual. Big, tender slices of steak. Well seasoned. Salad, rice, beans. Side of tortillas. The best item by far. Plus, add the orange salsa and pickled veggies!“

“I have been looking for good Mexican Restaurant since moving to California 3 years ago. We happen to be in San Bruno and found Taqueria Mi Durango. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Jose he was friendly and smiled and when I asked what his favorite was he said fish and shrimp taco so I got one each they were awesome. My boyfriend got the Birria Tacos and he said they were the best he has ever had ( and thats what he normally gets) Everything was fresh and amazing. I highly recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner. Or if you are looking for an event to be catered.“

“Delicious and super fast service! I got the super burrito with carne asada and it was glorious. The portions were huge and the melty cheese paired with the crispy bits of carne asada was so delicious. My boyfriend got the wet super burrito and he loved it as well. Prices are reasonable and the restaurant is clean.“

“This place is a hidden gem. Reasonably priced ($7 per sopes) for the amount of food, and still good quality. The sopes itself has an amazing texture and taste. After eating two, I was about to burst. I got the beef loin, and the chicken sopes. To be honest the chicken was mediocre for taste, and I liked the beef loin. Next time I will order the carne asada. The service is standard, but you can see the staff grinding in the food truck. Overall if I want a good cheap bite I will definitely come back here, but I would personally avoid the chicken. Update: I got the carne asada sopes, much better meat choice updating to 5 stars go get it!!“

“Standard taqueria fare, but very high quality. Super fast and friendly service. Meat and tortillas are top notch. The chile oil is amazing and really sets them apart. Fair warning, it's sooo spicy... it will hurt you. It's worth it though.“

“The server was able to answer all of our questions about the food very kindly. We didn't have to wait a long time for our food to be delivered to us. All of our different dishes tasted very authentically delicious !Parking: There were available street parking spaces on the block , across the street, and in the parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: There were available tables right next to the front door .“

“He visitado Taquería Gonzalez en diferentes ocasiones y aún me queda probar más comidas del menú. - Birria de chivo: a mi pareja le encantan los tacos y el consomé - Menudo: Está rico, traten de venir temprano para alcanzar lo mejor! - Tacos de asada: la carne es reseca para mi gusto, la sirven muy dorada pero me encantan las tortillas a mano. Recientemente agregaron variedad de salsas a la mesa, antes se le tenían que pedir a la mesera. - Chilaquiles verdes: riquísimos! Ojalá tuviera una foto. Las tortillas son doraditas y la salsa super rica. - Morisqueta: muy rica - Enchiladas michoacanas: deliciosas, no las sirven muy grasosas y el pollo tiene el "crisp" perfecto. - Bebidas: hemos probado agua de horchata y la michelada. Ambas super ricas! La razón de las 4 estrellas es porque estaría bien que aceptaran tarjeta y porque la mayoría de las sillas estan desbalanceadas, estaría bien que le invirtieran en mejores sillas.“

“When you see there is always a line of Mexican people waiting for food, you know you should check out the place. I usually get their lengua tacos, and I recently tried their California burrito, I really like the crunchy fries in it my only complaint was the portion of carne asada in it, a little stingy in my opinion. I think I will stick to their tacos in the future“

“Pretty good food. Burritos can be hit or miss, though. Sometimes there is just way too much rice in them, making the burritos a little bland. Overall though the meats are flavorful.It didn’t used to say on the menu (they’ve updated it since), but you can order regular taqueria meats like al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, cabeza, etc. in your tacos and burritos, not just chivo and res.Parking: Parking in a plaza“

“Really liked my tacos!! Tortillas tasted soft and fresh, and the portions were great. I only saw 2 really young people working when I went(made me nervous) but I received quality service and food nonetheless :) I recommend the happy hour special . If you want spicy sauce just ask for hot, the medium had no spice for me“

“Look, it's Chevy's. You know what to expect...Americanized Mexican Food. With that expectation, I've never had a bad experience T this location. Friendly staff, clean enough. Bathrooms could stand to be cleaned more. Margaritas could be cheaper.“

“Elvis for Lunch! Pliny draft beer! First Wednesday of the month! FUN, Friendly crowd sang & danced as we had delicious Fries, Chili, Pulled Pork & coleslaw- Salads ? good!Parking: Small lot, plenty of street parkingKid-friendliness: Family friendly with kid menu items! Decor is makes for. Great game of “I Spy”Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of access- accommodating respectful, friendly customers.“

“Fun atmosphere with polite staff. My Cilantro Camarones was excellent with just the right texture and taste. Best part is, I love how they use sheets of translucent onyx for their light wall. Each piece is Mother Nature’s work of art. They are much better in person. Oh and of course the Guacamole is fantastic too.Parking: Street parking is available but limited.Wheelchair accessibility: Newer building, so, accessible.“
