Mexican Restaurants near Millbrae

“Always consistant, yummy and fresh. Staff is very courteous and restaurant is clean“

“Passed inspection. No remedial action required at this time.

Some of the best Mexican food this side of the border. Nice selection of fresh salsas and crema expertly dispensed by good hombres. Really enjoyed the smothered quesachimichirito and the beeria dogs off the secret menu. So tasty and cleans you out better than any laxative. Mas autentico.“

“I recommend the “Tinga” tacos or sopes 👍🏼“

“What a great discovery Cocina Mama Cholita was! Just a small unassuming place on Mission St that we happened to walk into. The young proprietor had us sample all three enchilada sauces since we were unsure about which ones to pick. All three were delicious, but the the mole sauce was one of the best I had ever tasted. His grandma’s recipe, he said. Overall, a great experience! Serendipitous!!“

“I was there with my daughter and we both have great appetite. plates have plenty of food and it was delicious so much that my daughter bought extra hot sauce she really enjoyed it well so do I. highly recommended and I will visit you guys again whenever I go back to California.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. I can't recommend this little gem in the Lakeside neighborhood enough. Reasonable prices as well as many menu choices. Do yourself a favor and go there and sample everything, you will be very glad you did.“

“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've tried all the vegetarian burritos in town, and La Perla has the best. All ingredients of a super burrito (minus meat) and comes with extra veggies inside - peppers, onions, and spinach fajita style - rather than just a regular burrito, but with less, like most places do. It stands out among the Mexican restaurants in town for vegetarian options. Very good homemade salsas“

“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 👍“

“I was surprised how good the food here is! Not too greasy, and very reasonably priced, they're also open late and jave both indoor and outdoor seating. Service is also very good, I would definitely recommend if you're looking for lunch or a quick late night bite in Half Moon Bay.“

“food is delicious staff very polite“

“¡La comida es excelente y un servicio increíble! Pedí tacos de carne asada y me encantaron. ¡La salsa y las papas fritas estaban muy buenas!“

“This taqueria is famous for its burrito, and even has some old Michelin stars—deserved by the food but the service was far from ideal. I waited for 45 MINUTES for a simple burrito, which was big and awesome, but way more than what the counter employee had told me it would take. It’s worth going if it’s not a weekend day, but the service gotta improve a lot on their timing to be a regular spot which I would consider going often.“

“Let's start with the amazing food I had ,lets add the perfect service that it was provided by Marta Melendez, her smile and attitude was the best part ! Thank you Marta for your excellent service, the food was amazing ?! Marta keep the smile on her face ,even that I was a super busy day she was making us feel happy with her service! A big plus ,for the restaurant for having people like Marta!“

“I always get the baja style fried fish tacos Nick's way. Had some friends try them last night, and everybody thought they were incredible. I personally also add their habanero salsa which you'll have to request for if you like that much heat. Their house margaritas are the perfect accompaniment. The staff is all great. It's generally busy every time I'm there but luckily I've never had to wait very long for a table (that might just be luck).“

“First time trying the food at this spot and all I can say is that I got surprised, I ordered an alambre and when I got home it overpass my expectations, not only that flavor is good but the presentation was amazing, I'll be back for sure!“

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

“I go out of my way to get La Mordida' salsa. Generous self serve salsa bar, delicious Chipotle, Verde, pickled jalapeños and carrots, and spicy peppers and mango salsa (I miss the spicy cucumber salad they used to have all the time. The vegetarian options are good, sometimes just all right, but they are very consistent and everything is very fresh. I can make a whole side dish out of their salsa bar while I wait for my order, which makes this my favorite taqueria in town. The one star is missing from my review in atmosphere, only because it's usually quite loud so I only do to-go. I've only sat inside to eat once or twice. The staff is wonderful, helpful, and kind, even with language barriers. Never gotten my order wrong“

“I can’t say enough good things about Mexico Típico and the staff who work there. Every time I go the staff are very friendly and the food is always delicious. My last visit just solidified all the positive experiences I’ve had eating their food. Their carne asada burritos, fajitas, red sauce enchiladas, carnitas and refried beans are all made to order and come out nice and hot. My mouth is salivating just thinking about all that food!! I’ve had their super shrimp burritos before and they are fire. Love all the peppers and fillings they put In that burrito. This is my go to spot in the neighborhood for that comfort food vibe. Oh and their breakfast burritos with chorizo and refried beans too! So good!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This took me far too long to write, but I wanted to find the right words to say. My husband and I had been waiting two long years to get married. We postponed twice because of the pandemic and in the course of that time changed our venue to San Benito House. Let me tell you, that was the BEST decision we ever made. Not only is the venue itself incredibly beautiful and the food so delicious, but Kai and his staff bent over backwards for us and all of our guests. Kai is the ultimate hype guy and he took what normally would have been a stressful event to plan, and made it so easy and fun. I would (and will) recommend that anyone who is wanting a Half Moon Bay wedding, that this is the ultimate place to go. Our guests are still talking about the day and if we could, we’d do it 1000 times over just to experience the magic again. Thank you, thank you, thank you! To Kai and the incredible staff, you are truly THE BEST.“

“Cochinita is a wonderful place to enjoy a delicious meal. The food was flavorful, fresh, and well prepared, and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making the whole experience enjoyable. I had a great time and would definitely come back again.“

“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!“

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

“Our go to neighborhood place for burritos. There are a handful of tables but most buy to go. They have many selections to choose from, eg tortillas, beans and meat or non-meat fillings. You can order online which makes pick up quicker at times. Depending on the time of day, the line can wrap around the counter. It's worth the wait to stand in line. There is a small parking lot in the alley that patrons can use. Tip: If you are vegan or like the idea, you can order mixed vegetables (carrots, broccoli & cauliflower). which they will grill to add to the regular rice and beans burrito. It's a small additional charge but the added vegetables are plentiful.“

“Excellent food. If you're not from the area, it can be difficult to find, especially with confusing directions from both Waze and G maps. We enjoyed the carne asada and the tacos. Wherever I travel I research yelp and Google reviews and this time it was spot on. Great recommendation and we will definitely go back when we visit Bay Area again.“

“I sorta don't want to receive this because I want it all to myself. A bit behind and off the road, these tacos were great!! Had a couple of beers and tacos after a long hike above the coast. Service was a bit slow for tacos but nothing horrible (~10mins). Very nice staff and free chips and salsa inside (self service).“

“Superb Vacas Fritas! Crispy yet succulent and juicy. Build your own bowls, wraps, and platters is the theme. Loved every bite here. The mojito was very good. Room for improvement would be that they could use a few more beer options. I will be back for more.“

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

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

“Some of the best shrimp ceviche and spicy shrimp cocktail we’ve ever had. Elisa is from El Salvador and works by herself five days a week running this wonderful eatery on Yosemite Ave in San Francisco. The food is fresh and tastes amazing. It’s on the street and seating is limited to outside but it is totally worth it. 5/5 ⭐️“

“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!!!“

“Got takeout for a family dinner and it was delicious. The burritos were huge and we couldn’t finish them. I would probably order a Baby Burrito next time because they’re so big. The meats were perfectly prepared and very tasty, as were the nachos.“

“I ordered a chorizo torta without beans and it was absolutely fantastic! The chorizo was seasoned wonderfully, and the torta went super well with the salsa verde that the waiter very kindly offered me. It is a little pricey, about 16 dollars, but it was a really big portion, and I felt full after half the sandwich. If you are a fan of good tortas, good service, and wanting a cozy restaurant to eat in, this is the place!“

“The food was fresh and delicious, affordable, the environment was cozy, and the staff was super friendly.“

“Delish. I have been burned by ghost kitchens before and was a little hesitant to order from here, but the other stellar reviews got me 🙃 Really fresh, flavorful, healthy meals here. Definitely adding to our lunch rotation.

Highly recommend to try it if you’ve been thinking about it like me 😅 They truly deserve more hype!“

“Their flavor is top tier and always generous! I always look forward to this food truck being in the area - definitely gets busy around lunch time but it goes by fast, and absolutely worth the quick wait. You can call in your order ahead of time as well. Their quality of food is so good - very flavorful! Just go here and stop second guessing it - here you will be full and happy :)“

“Authentic incredible eats. If you’re lucky enough to pass by and grab a bite , don’t miss the quesabirria plate, fried chicken and curly fries, as well as the tacos. Very generous with the guacamole and the best food and service. Thank you and can’t wait to be back during our annual trip to HMB“

“In a never ending search for the best burritos in the Bay, I’m glad I found another solid option in Los Cuates. Super nice folks behind the counter, clean, organized restaurant, a solid salsa bar, and fantastic food.

The regular carne burrito was piping hot, and perfectly wrapped with a perfect balance of delicious meat, rice, beans, and salsa. Nothing groundbreaking, just solid Mexican food at reasonable prices served by nice folks. We need more places like Los Cuates.“

“Came on a Friday around 7:30 and it wasn't busy. Order at the counter, seat yourself, and they will bring your food to you. Self serve chips and salsa bar. Fresh chips. Well stocked. Wish they had pico de gallo though. We ordered an al pastor super burrito $15.29. Huge burrito. I eat a lot of burritos and this one surprised me with it's size lol. I asked for less rice and sour cream and they accommodated. Well balanced burrito. Al pastor was crispy and flavorful. Best al pastor I've had in years and best super burrito I've had so far in San Mateo and Burlingame area. Staff are really nice. Clean, medium sized restaurant. I would go back. Only wish they had lengua and cabeza meats“

“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.“

“Nice little mom and pop taqueria. At home vibe. Best quesadillas anywhere. The way they wrap their quesadillas is elite. Burritos are fantastic. Nachos are generously portioned with the ingredients evenly distributed for the most flavorful bite in every scoop. 10/10.“

“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!!“
