$13 (plus tax). Cubano sandwich is better than 3 stars, but not yet at 4…read more Good bread can make or break a sandwich, but it has to be in balance with everything else. I'm not buying a bread sandwich. The bread's job is really to frame and support the other ingredients and not dominate the experience. In the Cubano, the bread did bookend and support the ingredients, but there was simply too much of it compared to the important ingredients like the proteins. The crumb was thick and overwhelming, so each bite started with a mouthful of bread rather than a mix of the flavors. That was especially disappointing because the meats were clearly a step above what you find at most sandwich shops. The ham was carved directly from the bone which deserves recognition. Tasted alone, it had great flavor and was a quality product. The pickles were green and snapped with freshness. But these ingredients got lost behind the excess bread. With a better bread-to-filling ratio, the ham and the rest of the ingredients would have made more on an impact. As for the shop itself, when I first walked in, it felt like the kind of neighborhood spot where one of Tony Soprano's guys might stop by to collect a protection payment. I half expected a bagman to emerge from a back-room card game wearing an undersized sleeveless T-shirt with a filterless Camel hanging from his lips. It's not intimidating, but a bit of no-frills grit and unapologetically old school. I had the cashier pick between the two sandwiches I was considering and went with the recommendation. The process is straightforward -they make the sandwich and hand it over the counter. I wasn't asked whether it was for here or to go, and since it arrived in a brown paper bag, I took that as my cue to start walking with it. Character isn't this place's problem. The shop has personality, the ingredients are quality as the ham deserves praise. But for me, the bread overwhelmed everything else. A better protein:bread ratio would have earned this place another star.

Stumbled upon this place while passing by, and the aesthetic immediately caught my eye! So glad we…read moredecided to stop. Free, convenient parking right out front made getting in a breeze. The service here is a true 10/10. The first person who greeted us was super nice and patient while we looked over the menu, and the woman who helped us was incredibly sweet and eager to accommodate our needs. As for the food--another total 10/10! The elotes completely blew me away. Taking a bite instantly brought me back to my childhood, eating elotes with my sisters and cousins. You can taste the authenticity and love put into everything. We will definitely be back!

I stumbled across Maiz by chance, and before I even walked in, I was drawn in by the beautiful…read morebranding and colorful storefront. Once inside, the welcoming atmosphere made an even better first impression. The woman helping customers (who I think may have been the owner or manager) was incredibly kind, even while staying busy during the rush. If it's your first visit, you absolutely have to try the corn ribs. They're perfectly crispy, tender and seasoned so well- easily one of the most creative and delicious ways I've ever had corn. Don't skip the black sauce either; its smoky, slightly peppery flavor takes them to the next level. On my last visit they were sold out, so I tried the corn cheesecake instead. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it completely won me over. It was rich, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth delicious and the option to add lechera or chocolate made it even more fun. Maiz has such a unique way of turning a simple ingredient into something creative and memorable. Between the delicious food, thoughtful branding, and warm hospitality, it's become one of my favorite spots. If you're looking for a place that's a little different and absolutely worth the visit, I can't recommend Maiz enough Will be back

Unsurprisingly, their dim sum is delicious! Having only had their frozen dim sum before and enjoying their dim sum, I was happy that the dim sum special they had at the food truck was also good.

Of their three locations, the Redwood City locale is the one that my family and I have frequented the most. They are a solid spot to grab a quick Mexican meal. Below are the reasons for my overall 4-star rating for Sancho's Taqueria in Redwood City: PROS: * Free parking in the private lot. * Cool décor - those who love el Día de los Muertos art like me will appreciate the artwork on the walls. * Outdoor seating available. * They have an on-site bar. * Service is super friendly - at our most recent visit on Friday, June 20, 2025, one of the guys behind the counter who took our order gave us a couple of free baskets of chips and salsa (normally $2.00). * Food is yummy - I highly recommend the California Burrito ($12.95) with Carne Asada. It's my go-to order at Sancho's. * They are dog friendly, even indoors! We had our maltese, Lulu, sitting in her stroller next to our table at the dining room inside. No complaints from the staff nor customers. CONS: * No table service - you order and pick up at the counter. * Cash only, no credit nor debit cards accepted. For your convenience, they have an ATM on-site. * Chips and salsa are not free. Though, we have been given a couple of baskets at no charge.

Since my last review, we have moved closer to this Sancho's and it has become our place. Since…read more2011, they've done something where I like their food. Not a bad thing. Before you go here, bring lots of ca$h. They don't accept credit or debit. There is an ATM machine where you can pull money out of for a surcharge. That's the only downfall of this place in my opinion. As a vegetarian, I like to get their cheese enchilada, chilaquiles, bean burritos. I need to explore other items on the menu. My husband is a meat eater and likes pretty much everything. Tell us what you think about Sancho's

I had the curry potato and red pepper bowl. It had spinach, cucumber, chick peas, jalapeño, and I added avocado and chicken it was amazing. But my favorite was the eggplant-peanut, 24hrs later I am still dreaming of it. The restaurant is on a little corner and the inside is so clean, with warm touches that feel like you could just sit and stay awhile. This is a small business and sort of like a shophouse. So know if you are going to try it, respect that it's not a commercialized restaurant. The owner takes pride in making a home cooked meal and one you will wish you could frequent often. Or at least I wish I could. Next time I'm In Redwood City I will be back! Thank you! Amazing!!
