Any Mexican restaurant that has a self-serve salsa bar and still does unlimited chips (far too rare…read morethese days) is off to a great start in my books. Got the grilled chicken regular burrito, and oh man was it good. The seasoning/light sauce or whatever was with it was fantastic. Special shout-out to the tortilla as well.

Overall 2.5 stars…read more We ordered takeout, you can order via phone or at the counter inside, it's pretty straightforwar. And the customer service was good. Just a heads up though, the place itself can get pretty loud if you're dining in. They do have a chips and salsa bar, which is a nice touch. The highlight for me was the homemade chips, those were really good, crispy and delicious. Unfortunately, the salsa was pretty salty, and the food itself leaned the same way. Both the grilled chicken burrito and the carnitas enchiladas were overly salty to the point where it took away from the flavors (the rice flavor was good, and if they reduce the salt, their food would be delicious as I can see why this spot is popular). I was disappointed as I really have been wanting to try this spot.

As everyone probably knows the food scene is not as good on the mid peninsula in comparison to SF or SJ. Less options and not as competitive of a market. Having said that El Maguey has always been super consistent and I would recommend anyone that is looking for an SF style burrito (i used to go to Guadalajara on mission) while in San Carlos give El Maguey a shot.

Great salsa bar with chips that come with your meal…read more Good food and great value for money. Light lunch, get 2 tacos. Hungrier? Get 3 or 4, you won't regret it Had carne asada and cabeza street tacos which come with salsa, onion, cilantro (get your own limes at the salsa bar) proteins are packed on top and you won't leave hungry. True love Salsas are kept on ice and are freshly made, fresh tortilla chips are restocked promptly. The orange one is hot hot hot, just the way u like. Order at the window and enjoy at the provided seats if you like.

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!

The chips are thin and well fried. Although I don't necessarily love paying for chips and salsa, I get that's how they've kept their prices manageable so I don't mind so much. I agree the main guy who works there (I think I've seen him every single time I've gone to eat there), is a bit curt, he seems to do his job well and has never really made a mistake with my order. And I think I've probably consumed over 25 burritos from them over the years.

I got in my car and started driving and noticed El Charrito to my right, I immediately parked and rushed inside and ordered two asada tacos and torta asada. Let me just tell you, they were SO GOOD!

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.
