This restaurant is mean and stingy with the little salsa they give out. The don’t even fill them up all the way sometimes. If they want to charge more I don’t mind paying but they don’t even want to sell them to you. They expect you to eat a big burrito and chips with 2 tiny salsa containers the size of your thumb. Plus I’m buying chips already and they don’t want to give more salsa. That’s why my favorite spot is pancho villa. They are not stingy with the salsa and they give free chips.

I’ve been coming to the BEST BURRITO in the SF Bay Atea for over 20 years now. The BBQ Chicken Super Burritos are my all time favorite. The Duran Family is said to have invented the “Mission Style Burrito” at their San Francisco location and the tradition of fantastic food in more than ample portions carries on into the next century. If you aren’t in the mood for a huge burrito the tacos and plates are delicious too!

***DONT COME HERE***This is probably honestly one of the worst restaurants in the area. THE PORTION SIZE IS PATHETIC! This is claimed to be a super shrimp burrito. I don’t know if I left the United States for 20 years or what but a super burrito should be the size that is twice the size of your hand. It should be enough to fill you stuffed and then have leftover the next day. This place is so stingy with their portion and is not at all worth $14. Go down the road to LA CORNETA in Burlingame and you get a way better deal for your money. Will never return and recommend that you don’t support this place. Don’t support places that give small portions, the more you support the smaller portions over the years they will give.

The burrito shell was old and hard. The steak was grey and flavorless. The prawns were overcooked. There is nothing redeeming about going here. There was no water available or a bathroom available until I ordered. Now I know why. They have to trick you into buying their food.

Maybe the first mission style burrito, but far from the best. Bland meat, soggy tortilla, and full of lettuce and tomato. Something I’d expect in an area without other Mexican options - not in a Mexican hotspot such as San Mateo.

Been coming here ever since I was a kid and have always loved it! Even in college I look forward to coming back to have La Cumbre. Their burritos are always amazing and they have great service; it’s super fast and efficient. We usually order takeout because there aren’t that many spots to sit inside but their outdoor seating is cute!Parking: Plenty of parking in their free lot, and paid street or lot options available around downtown and the train station.

Wonderful Mexican food place in downtown San Mateo. Located next to the train station, it has a wide variety of burritos, tacos, salads, and other Mexican dishes to choose from. Delicious spicy sauce if you like spicy (green one). Plenty of parking in their own lot, on the street, or in the train station parking lot next door. Not a lot of seats for dining in, but perfect place for take out.

Title: Disappointing Experience at Taqueria La CumbreRating: ★☆☆☆☆I recently dined at Taqueria La Cumbre, and I must say that my experience left much to be desired. While the food was passable, it fell far short of my expectations. The Taco Steak Salad I ordered was just okay – nothing remarkable or particularly flavorful about it.However, the real disappointment came from the abysmal customer service I encountered. Throughout my visit, I couldn't help but notice the complete lack of enthusiasm or friendliness from the employees, especially the females working behind the counter. Not a single smile or warm greeting was extended, which made me feel unwelcome and unimportant as a customer.Moreover, the cleanliness of the restaurant left much to be desired. The tables were sticky, and the overall ambiance felt unkempt. It was clear that the staff didn't pay enough attention to maintaining a pleasant and hygienic dining environment.Considering all these factors, I have no choice but to give Taqueria La Cumbre a zero-star rating. The lackluster customer service and the subpar cleanliness of the restaurant overshadowed any redeeming qualities the food might have had. I left feeling dissatisfied and unappreciated as a customer.I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements to enhance the overall dining experience. As for now, I cannot recommend Taqueria La Cumbre to others seeking an enjoyable meal with good service and a clean atmosphere.

I felt very disappointed by the service that I received when I walked in. They weren’t very friendly or nice. It was also expensive as well. The food was not good either, it had no flavor and the meat was bland. Very healthy portions though. Overall, would not come here again because of the awful customer service.
