“A good place to have some Guatemalan food, ,,,fast service and clean“

“The food was well seasoned and hot when it was brought out to us. The reason I gave it a 4 is because I had trouble having a conversation across the booth due to the loud music. However, that is the atmosphere of this place: Loud. It's very lively during karaoke nights where anyone can volunteer to sing whether you know how to or not. I also gave it a 4 because the price of a 16oz cup of coffee is $3. Love this place for the food and the music, not the coffee.“

“es algo bueno que hayan puesto este bakery, algo de nuestra tierra por que yo soy de ahi.❤️“

“This is a food truck so the atmosphere is what you'd expect it to be when it's on a neighborhood street near a highway entrance - LOL! Very much open as of the time of posting as I walk past it most days. On weekends, they serve the most amazing pupusas, the best I have ever had in San Mateo (I have surveyed quite a few over the years) and I dare say as good if not better than what I used to partake in when living in the Mission district of San Francisco. My kids love it too and getting pupusas to go and walking over to Persimmon Park (about 10 mins away on foot) or to the tables/benches near Whole Foods for a picnic is the way to go. Value for money is also incredible - $3.75 per pupusa and my two kids (ages 8 and 11) and I get four of 'em to split for lunch. Get the revueltas option and enjoy having the gooey goodness melt in your mouth! Speaking a bit of Spanish helps. I got by with gesturing a bit. Very nice staff and they pump out pupusas pretty quickly too given each one is prepared individually when ordered (as it should be). So delighted they are right in my neighborhood!!!“

“This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. The food here is absolutely delicious and flavorful. You must try the pupusas, empanadas, bunelos, and many other Latin dishes. The pupusas are a huge hit. The pupusas are tasty, the salsa is fresh and the curtido hits the spot. Best Latin restaurant in the Bay Area.“

“Why do I always give five stars to my posts? Because I won't diss a place because it doesn't appeal to me. I enjoyed an early morning breakfast at La Chapina. This restaurant/ bakery is a working person's early morning fuel stop. No frills, but decent coffee, great central American pastries, hot breakfast and lunch menu, like traveling in Guatemala in the middle of the peninsula megalopolis. For me, La Chapina was a totally cool experience. It's open air, enclosed patio and warehouse style seating, be forewarned.“

“Nina’s cafe was so tasty and the view of the water on the patio was beautiful. We had the Ecuadorian Fish soup for the first time and it was delicious! The empanadas are all great. Their salad vinaigrette was unique and tasty! It had real raspberry and cranberry in it.“

“muy rica comida! y los ceviches son delicious 😋“

“Delicious authentic Brazilian food with amazing service . Fun experience too!“

“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.“

“Regularly ride by the truck and always see at least one customer. Decided to stop by. Ordered the Chile Relleno plate over rice, frijoles and macaroni salad. Added a hot chocolate drink. If your Spanish isn't up to par, the clerk also speaks English. The meal was excellent, the beans didn't taste like they contained lard, the rice was fluffy and flavored with a stock, the macaroni salad cooked just right and the stuffed ground meat chile relleno was greaseless and tasted homemade.Well return to try the rellenitos, and hilochas.GREAT job guys“

“This sugar is good and the service is also the problem is that the cook does not pay attention to the notes. I ordered a burrito without onion and without cilantro, the cook went overboard with the ok mistakes happen. But when the cook turns crazy I ask them for the order and the guy just reduces the onion and mixes the meat if you know that the reason I ordered it without onion is because I'm allergic. I lasted 3 days with sore welts that I could only bite a few times.“

“New “more than a coffeehouse” in Mountain View with a Venezuelan touch. Good ambiance and the menu offers an extensive list of items to please every taste. I got the “empanaditas” which are fried. Comes with cheese filling and ground beef. The red sauce was super hot. Caught me by surprise and I coughed and got teary eyes. It needs a warning! Coffee was great and look at that perfect heart work! Just beautiful. Parking during a Saturday can be challenging but a 2 block walk is a solution. Try it!“

“This is a cafe on the Stanford campus that many people visit. I think there are many systems where you can order food by a certain time and pick it up using an app or something else without ordering directly. There are a lot of varieties and it seems like a good place to spend time in front of the librarian. However, I took off one star because it was the worst iced coffee I had in the US. I think it would be better to use it because of its accessibility rather than expecting it to taste good.“

“Customer service needs to be worked on while I was placing my order the cashier was talking about her personal life which is not a great idea when you have a customer in front of you . I’m still giving a 5 star because the pupusas revueltas were super delicious and the plátanos fritos omg the BEST 😋😋“
