"Great hole-in-the-wall Mexican near SFO airport"…read more Came here for dinner at 6pm on a Monday night, based on good Yelp reviews. The place is unassuming-- has a thin stretch of outdoor seating and a handful of tables inside. Not super bright in lighting, and a TV inside was showing a baseball game. Seemed like a lot of the business was takeout, as people would come, hover, get food, and leave. I was GOING to order the fish tacos or a fish quesadilla, but I was swayed by the picture of a breaded fish plate special. My son got the carne asada quesadilla, and others at the table got a veggie burrito and a chicken bowl. Food came out pretty quick-- maybe around or just over 10 minutes (the fish plate and veggie burrito came out slightly after the other two). I was very impressed that the fish plate looked even BETTER than the photo (see photos of both). The fish was HUGE. There was a generous helping of guacamole, lots of fresh avocado slides, some onion and cabbage, etc. There was a nice bed of lettuce on the side with sour cream over it, and the rice & beans (covered with a thin layer of cheese) on another side. The fish plate was just delicious. The batter wasn't overpowering or too heavy, and the fish was excellent inside (and very flat). I really liked the sauce in a little cup on the fish, or having it with avocado or guacamole, or even straight. The rice and beans were yummy too. Such a great dish, and it was under $20 before tax and tip. My dining companions all liked their food, though my son said the carne asada meat was "just good" (he had a bite of the chicken and said that was better). The person at the register was friendly. And as mentioned, the prices were very reasonable. I'd happily eat here again if in the area. Great portion size, great quality, good value, etc. Enjoy!

The burrito had potatoes, but they weren't french fries. They were boiled potato strips. Kind of somewhat annoying when that's what I was looking forward to. Also, I ordered a super burrito, but it was more like a taco. Burritos here are really small so if you're hungry, forget about it.

The order was ready within 10 minutes. The to go box is small but it was packed to the top. For 13 bucks, it's a good deal. The carnitas were crispy and flavorful. The toppings were plentiful. Definitely will be back soon to try other items. Street parking.

I had the Carne Asada Fajitas with pinto beans, salad, rice, and tortillas. Everything tasted great, but I feel that the carne asada could've been seasoned a little more. The prices are reasonable for the generous amount of food you're served. I'm not from the San Bruno/650 area, but if I'm ever around there again, I wouldn't mind going back to maybe try their fish tacos. Nice staff, too! It was a little loud, though, as there was someone singing at the bar and another gentleman was playing music near our table, haha. It's a fun choice if you're down for decently-priced food, a colorful atmosphere, and festive music! :-)

It also came with sides of plantains which were yummy and a side of chilaquiles which admittedly I'm not the biggest fan of but they were pretty good here too. I definitely want to come back to try dinner now!

The menu offers a variety of items, and we decided on the elote tots (tater tots and elote street-style corn), an appetizer that sounded different, and for the main dishes, the nachos with added soy chorizo and the spaghetti with Poblano chili sauce, plus a side of soy chorizo. The food came quickly, and the elote tots were amazingly good! The combination of tater tots, the corn, and the cheeses (sauce and crumbled) was amazing mix of textures and flavors. The nachos were good, and the pasta with poblano sauce was also very good. The sauce was creamy, with a slight heat, and very different. The soy chorizo was not my favorite, and in the nachos, the crumbled form of the soy chorizo was better suited as an add than as a side to the pasta (maybe it was intended to be mixed in, but I wanted to eat it separately). Just too crumbled and a little dry for me. The service was great, and thanks to Dioscelyn for that. Overall, a very nice meal. We were not hurried and stayed at the table a bit to chat. A great place if you are in the area.

I got a regular chicken burrito, which has rice, beans, and salsa. The burrito is so dense! It's packed with meat! It really hit the spot. The man at the counter was so friendly and happy-going. The rest of the kitchen staff all seemed like they were having fun. I love that! It's actually quite rare to see restaurant employees liking their job. The place is a bit small with just a handful of tables. It wasn't too busy when I went, which was around 8pm on a Wednesday. Give this place a try!

The burritos are huge (always lasts me 2 meals) and delicious. Generous amounts of all toppings. We always get the al pastor which is very flavorful and cabeza which has tender meat and is a good contrast in flavor. I'm a big fan of lengua but unfortunately the upcharge here is pretty steep. The man at the cash register is also super friendly, and he's always sure to greet the regulars :)

There were only a few other patrons, so grabbing a table wasn't difficult. Typical Mexican joint with brightly painted walls and Mexican decor. They have a water dispenser and an open salsa bar for your convenience. You place an order at the cashier and they will serve you the order when it's ready. Food came in about 10 minutes. *** O U R P I C K S *** QUESABIRRIA ~ you get 3 tasty quesabirrias for $18.95. You also get consumé, a side of chopped onions, cilantro, and a few slices of lime. It was good, flavorful, lots of cheese, but kinda pricey. 4/5 WET BURRITO ~ Wet burrito with both red and green sauces for $15.75. Comparable to other taquerias in SSF. But most of those places are a drive away, so that's probably why their prices are higher. And they added lettuce as a filler. And when you don't eat it right away, the lettuce is mushy and wilted. 3.5/5 It's good to try new eateries now and then. This was decent, but I think we'll stick to our usual spots that are tried and true for us.
