    Super crispy fries -
    Yaya B.

    Finally made it here on an early Friday evening. We walked in and needed a moment to get our bearings: there is so much going on, every little spot on the walls is decorated with sports memorabilia and then there are the menu boards overhead, on the side, where you order and specials. You order at the till, grab your drinks, select a table and wait for your name to be called with your order. We tried the British and the Hawaiian burger and an order of fries. The burgers were absolutely delicious, juicy and with a good grilled beefy flavor. Big, too. The fries were our favorite: so crispy. We truly enjoyed our visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a small 'arcade' in the back with games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Easy parking on the small lot in front of to the side, street parking, too.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]located up the hill near emerald lake hills...more of a local spot...eclectic mix of sports memorabilia adorning every inch...mostly 49ers...aged, dusty and homely...some pinball machines and games towards the back...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]food matched the atmosphere...dino nuggets for the kids...burgers, sandwiches, wings, beers and a ton of store bought sauces available...pastrami sandwich was served open face...food was homely...go for the old school vibe, but not for the food..

    This place was amazing, the burger was very generously sized and a single burger would be definitely filling enough for a person. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere here is very comforting and warm with it having an old school charm to it, just wood everywhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was good and fast, the staff were friendly and food was great, an all around good establishment. I would recommend this place to anybody and there are so many options I would find it hard for anyone to find nothing that they would eat on the menu here since there is something for everyone.

    I miss this kind of place. There's hella 49ers decorations and lots of posters/flyers dedicated to the local teams. This feels like a home and nostalgic for the peninsula. Inside is a little dark, but it's super cozy. They have a small arcade area for kids, where my niece and nephew had fun. The food was good, it was diner/bar food which was great. The portions were good as well. The staff was busy, but had a solution for everything and were hella attentive. I got the Edelman burger, obviously, because that's his hometown. Would come here again if im in the area. Parking is tight, but it's in a spot where there's not too much traffic.

    Came here for a birthday celebration of 20+ adults and kids on a Friday night. Reservations for 3 tables in the patio area. You order your food inside and they will bring the food out to you. This is my second time here for a birthday celebration but my bf and his friends have been coming here for years! I got the mushroom burger vs the steak sandwich which i got my first time and it was so DELICIOUS! I got the Mushroom Burger: Mushroom and Swiss cheese served on a sesame bun with sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles with a bag of potato chips. - this was DELICIOUS! my bf got the got the Cheeseburger: American cheese served on a sesame bun with sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles with a bag of potato chips. French fries: nice and crispy! Corn dog: I was too full to eat this a friend ate it. Family friendly establishment and friendly/nice staff!

    Italian Sausage Sandwich
    Geri S.

    Surrounded by 49er memorabilia - remember to bus your own table...do right. The service is friendly, the menu is extensive... go to the counter to order and pay; wait for your name to be called to pickup food. We love every burger on the menu...I had the delicious Hacksaw double patty perfectly cooked medium rare pink as requested to honor Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds...both of us from Ohio and born 1947. My husband devoured his Italian sausage patty on a French roll with mushrooms, onion, bell peppers, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and 1000 island dressing. Friends ordered two Grand Canyon burgers and the British burger with bacon and Swiss cheese...and two bowls of the clam chowder. We shared zucchini sticks, onion rings, and our favorite Chili Cheese fries...and waddled to our car in a food coma. Truly, there's something on the daily menu to please everyone!...even chocolate cak

I usually order Pozole, but that dish is only during the winter time. So I ordered a cup of tortilla soup! The chicken was fresh and delicious, and the broth was so good I drank it all. The salsa trio is always my favorite appetizer because of the spicy mango salsa! I finish it every time. I also got the Plátanos cubanos, but I got the toppings on the side so I could enjoy their plantains by themselves. As an appetizer, snack, meal, or dessert, plantains are the best. I ordered a side of rice with my steak tacos too, and I have to say this rice is the most similar to the type my mom makes at home. Not too tomatoey, but perfectly moist and tasty. I opted out of getting a cocktail today, so I got a mocktail. I was craving agua de jamaica, which they didn't directly have, but this "zero proof" cocktail hit the spot ;) As for the steak tacos, the steak was a little too chewy for my liking, but that's because I usually get my steak well done (I know, don't judge). Thank you Milagros for always being the best spot for a comforting meal!

    I'll start by saying that I've been coming here for years and the food is great. Came in recently…read moreand the service unbelievably slow, while prices had of course gone up. The biggest disappointment however was when I looked at my receipt. In addition to taxes and tipping, I was another charged 3.5% for "state mandate." I inquired and was told that since the restaurant has to provide medical insurance, their employees they charge customers for that now. It's just so shady that this is not disclosed ahead of time or at least no obvious and it's only if you look at your receipt, do you see you're being charged this additional fee. Word for the wise it is optional despite the mandatory language on the receipt, so I encourage everyone to refuse to pay. You are not the one employing the employees, the employer is.

    Dine in | Dinner La Corneta, San Carlos…read more From the moment we walked into La Corneta in San Carlos, we were met with warmth, efficiency, and exceptional service. The experience was quick, smooth, and welcoming from start to finish. This was my first meal of the day, and I was hoping for something satisfying -- but I had no idea just how impressed I would be. Our food and beverages were ordered and served promptly. Even when a small mistake occurred, it was corrected immediately, graciously, and with a genuine smile, which speaks volumes about the care and professionalism of this team. Customer Service: 5 stars -- truly beyond expectations Cleanliness: 5 stars -- spotless and well cared for Quantity: 5 stars -- more than generous Quality: 5 stars -- honestly better than many 5-star restaurants my husband and I have tried Price: Very reasonable, especially considering the quantity and outstanding quality A special and heartfelt thank you to David, who I believe is the manager. He was attentive, observant, friendly, and incredibly hands-on -- moving seamlessly from station to station, supporting his team, and leading by example. David is the kind of leader who inspires, not commands. It would genuinely have been an honor to work under his supervision. He goes above and beyond, and it shows brightly in every detail. The fajitas were cooked perfectly, the drinks were delicious, and my husband absolutely loved his mole burrito. What stood out most was how this place made me feel. I didn't feel like just another customer -- I felt at home, and after the day I had, that meant more than words can express. We are already looking forward to our next visit. In a time when many establishments are losing their personal touch, La Corneta is creating real connections -- and that makes all the difference. 13 stars -- for our favorite number as a couple. With sincere gratitude, Thank you, David, and thank you to the entire La Corneta team. La Corneta, San Carlos Desde el momento en que entramos a La Corneta en San Carlos, nos recibieron con calidez, eficiencia y un servicio excepcional. Todo fue rápido, fluido y acogedor de principio a fin. Esta fue mi primera comida del día, y buscaba algo que realmente valiera la pena -- pero nunca imaginé quedar tan satisfecha. Ordenamos nuestros alimentos y bebidas, y todo fue servido con rapidez. Incluso cuando ocurrió un pequeño error, fue corregido de inmediato, con amabilidad y una sonrisa sincera, lo cual dice mucho del profesionalismo y el corazón de este equipo. Servicio al cliente: 5 estrellas -- superó completamente nuestras expectativas Limpieza: 5 estrellas -- impecable Cantidad: 5 estrellas -- más que suficiente Calidad: 5 estrellas -- honestamente mejor que muchos restaurantes de 5 estrellas que mi esposo y yo hemos probado Precio: Muy razonable considerando la cantidad y la excelente calidad Un agradecimiento muy especial y sincero para David, quien creo es el gerente. Fue atento, observador, amable y muy activo -- apoyando a su equipo y pasando de una estación a otra con liderazgo y presencia. David es un verdadero líder, no un jefe. Inspira con el ejemplo, y eso se refleja claramente en la experiencia. Sinceramente, habría sido un honor trabajar bajo su supervisión. Las fajitas estaban perfectamente cocinadas, las bebidas deliciosas, y mi esposo quedó encantado con su burrito de mole. Lo que más nos marcó fue cómo nos hizo sentir este lugar. No me sentí como una clienta más -- me sentí como en casa, y después del día que tuve, eso fue invaluable. Ya estamos deseando regresar. En un momento donde muchos lugares están perdiendo el trato humano, La Corneta está creando conexiones reales, y eso se nota. 13 estrellas -- nuestro número favorito como pareja. Con profundo agradecimiento, Gracias, David, y gracias a todo el equipo de La Corneta.

When you walk in, you place your order directly with the cashier. If dining in, they will provide you with a basket of chips and you choose from an open table. The booths are a bit cramped with no space at all between yourself and the table but comfortable enough otherwise. There is a self service salsa bar in the corner - we really liked the creamy green salsa. Had just a slight kick but my 3 and 5 year old both loved it. I got a taco salad which is served in a taco bowl with all the ingredients of a super burrito, minus rice and cheese. It was very good, but the bottom of the shell gets really soggy so you can really just eat the top of the shell where it's still crispy. The rest of the family got super burritos and were very happy - the meat was crispy in some parts and moist/soft in other parts and the ratio of the other ingredients were perfect to complement the protein. Everyone left full and happy. Don't forget to get a sweet, cool, refreshing horchata drink to help wash down your meal!

In all honesty I can't go back nor would I recommend it to my friends and if your Mexican and you like it que vergüenza. One star because they have free refills.

I'm an al pastor burrito guy and this one was way too heavy on the spice/seasoning and kinda overpowered everything. Also there was barely any trace of tater tots which I was really looking forward to. My daughters ate the asada and said it was just ok. One thing is that the burritos are smaller than your super at El Farolito but they do pack it in there and it's pretty filling! The birria was actually pretty good and they gave a couple different sauces and cabbage and I would recommend it. I was also looking forward to eating the churro donuts on the drive back home because I thought they would be hot n good but that wasn't the case. They musta pulled them out from under a warming lamp because they were barely lukewarm to cold so that was a fail. Overall, it's not bad, but definitely pricier than most of the other popular Mex spots and now that I think about it, I probably won't go back because of it. There's plenty good Mex around for a lot less $$. I coulda gotten 3 super burritos from Farolito for $35 vs ~$75 that I paid at Suavecito.
