Mexican cuisine in a lovely modern atmosphere, with good service. This is the newest and most elegant Mexican restaurant in the area. We shared as appetizers, the House Made Guacamole & chips and the Queso Fundido Con Soy Rizo which was melted cheese served with tortillas. Both were good and shareable. The Chile Poblano was good but quite small for $29.50 and it was one stuffed (no meat) chile that was not big. The Crepas Con Mariscos was two crepes filled with seafood and a nice sauce served with jasmine rice & corn kernels. The crepas was enjoyable. Expansive options for drinks. We had the Watermelon Sugar and a Margarita which were large drinks and very good. For dessert we had the sorbet & vanilla ice cream which was served with a shortbread cookie. Overall the meal, atmosphere and service were very nice. Just know that portions are not big for the price. Good place for gatherings.

Good Authentic Mexican ingredients according to server information. Nice environment and customer service!

I had some time to myself before an appointment on Saturday so I stopped in at Reposado. The place is very large and beautiful. They just started doing brunch so I was happy to check out their new menu. The service was great and I was well taken care of during my meal. I ordered the crispy plantain chips to start. They were very thin and light, with a creamy dip on the side. For my main dish, I ordered the crepa con mariscos, a delicious mix of crab, shrimp and red snapper wrapped in a light blue corn crepe. It was full seafood in every bite with a nice sauce. I wanted a bit more heat so I asked for some hot sauce and got a habanero cream sauce and a smokey salsa like sauce as well. The habanero sauce was good with it, though I would use it sparingly so you don't overwhelm the flavor of the seafood. The accompanying rice was also tasty, with lots of fresh roasted corn mixed in. My mocktail was fine, though it was a bit on the sour side. I think next time I'll stick to an ice tea or lemonade. Other than my choice of drink, I would definitely visit again with friends. It's a great place to catch up with family and friends over good food.

Reposado has a lot of potential, but still a few kinks to work out. The ambience and the location is spot-on, although service is a bit stilted and awkward at times. The bathroom is also a hidden challenge, iykyk! We ordered the ceviche ($22), salmon ($40), and enchiladas ($31). The portions are tiny, especially for the price point! The ceviche was good for one person at best, but I definitely don't think the size of the appetizer is large enough to share. The salmon was cooked well (we requested medium), although I didn't think it had much flavor. I was bit bored eating it. The enchiladas were better, primarily because of the green sauce and the pickled veggies. Overall, I found the dishes to be lackluster, which is surprising considering Mexican food is usually bursting with flavor. We requested hot sauce, but the first employee who said he would take care of it never came back for us, and we were halfway done with our entrees when the second person came through. The hot sauce is a habanero sauce and packs a decent punch (good enough to save the dishes), but be warned - they charge $2.50 for a miniscule serving and don't tell you in advance. I don't mind paying extra for things that are worth it, and very much appreciate it when staff are upfront with costs. However, I get annoyed with hidden fees (it's just an easy fix! Just communicate with us.). I understand that everything in a restaurant has a price, but they could have tackled this situation better...even Taco Bell gives out free hot sauce and they aren't in the same caliber! When I brought up the issue, our server stated he would ask management to see if there was anything they could do. They eventually removed the cost, but I think charging customers for condiments is a bit tacky, especially for a more upscale establishment. Since I was already let down by the overall experience, we decided to forego desserts. Will have to continue the hunt for elevated Mexican food in the area.

We managed to visit Reposada pretty early (in the day and their lifetime that is). With a 5 PM Friday evening dinner, we were some of the first in the restaurant. By 7 PM the place was pretty full and the bar jam packed. Chips & guac (and salsas) - While the chips were colorful, the taste was a little one note. None of the salsas were spicy, which was fine by me! The guac was good as it always is, but I was waiting for them to put a spin on it. Brussel sprouts - These were very yummy and something you can't recreate at home. They had a tahini and pomegranate glaze with a hint of spice. Hit the spot. Reposada salad - I was probably most excited for the cornbread croutons. The actual salad could have used a couple more ingredients. Maybe some avocado or corn. The portion was also pretty small. The lettuce to topping goodness ratio felt a little off. A few more ingredients would have been fair for the price. Plantain upside down cake - The best part of the night. Our awesome waiter gave us his favorite dessert complimentary since we were having a belated birthdays (plural) dinner. This cake was amazing, and the flavors were complex. It also had a side of ice cream. There was sweet honey and a little salt. I can't speak to any of the mains, but my apples to apples judgement of a Mexican restaurant is the chips and salsa. I forgot to photograph most of the food because we were having such a good time. The actual decorations give fancy restaurant vibes. Don't skip dessert! This applies to most situations but especially at Reposada. PSA (Parking Service Announcement): I parked in a garage (free parking) just below the restaurant. Even though I frequent San Mateo, I never knew about this garage. It is easy to miss the very small entryway to the garage and hard to understand the confusing and small signage about "public parking" vs "retail parking".

My parents treated us to Reposado for my husband's belated birthday. While the place itself is beautiful inside and service was good, the food itself was mediocre at best. Plates are aesthetically presented, but small in quantity for the price point. I'm a big fan of chicken mole, and the serving of mole was miniscule. What little amount I had was delicious though. I just wish there was more! I found the chicken alone to be a bit dry. The seafood crepes sounded amazing, but in actuality, they were a bit bland in my opinion. Reposado's food was too muted for my liking. For a $400 dinner, I would expect to enjoy the food, and unfortunately, I just didn't. Sadly, we probably won't be back!

We came for the soft opening for a group Valentine's Day dinner and Reposado delivered one of the best meals I've had so far in 2026. We started with the Bruselas which paired chipotle glaze and tahini dressing for a flavorful twist to roasted brussels. The freshly made chips and salsa came with both red and green salsas, perfectly paired with the House Made Guacamole. For entrees we had the Pollo Rostisado, Branzino Veracruz, Puerco Asado, and Crepas Con Mariscos. We usually go home with leftovers but there was nothing left to take home. I recommend the Pollo Rostisado if you want a flavorful and hearty meal. The Jasmine white rice, fire roasted vegetables, rotisserie chicken and mole sauce went incredibly well together. They have a robust tequila menu, coffee, and a good variety of desserts. A good number of them incorporated fruit and we really liked the bread pudding with plantains. Pros: Delicious entrees, wide selection of tequilas, beautiful, warm and comfortable decor, friendly service. Cons: NA

So happy Reposado opened up a restaurant here in downtown San Mateo. We were seated immediately on Mother's Day afternoon next to a window that could open up and allow a fresh breeze in. The hostess was warm in her welcome. We were lucky to get Ricardo as our server who answered any questions we asked. Guacamole is amazing. Good portion - fresh. When you order the guacamole and chips, you also get three different salsas! The Carne Asada entrée is absolutely wonderful. We shared it between two people. The chili relleno was pleasantly not breaded and absolutely fabulous with the cojita melted cheese! Definitely get a double order of the corn tortillas that taste made in house. Thanks Scott for making sure we had plenty and ensuring our overall dining experience was perfect. It was, and we were 2 happy Mama's! P.S. The Cadillac margarita and the prickly pear were refreshing and a perfect accompaniment to everything we ordered.

We had the pleasure of dining at Reposado in San Mateo last night for the first time, and the experience was outstanding. From the moment we entered, the host greeted us warmly and went above and beyond even opening the door for us as we left. Throughout our meal, the service was impeccable and the staff was very attentive and professional. We came in without a reservation, and were seated promptly despite the busy evening. Our server, whose name I wish I remembered, was friendly and truly enhanced the evening. The food and drinks was equally impressive, we ordered Sangria, Guacamole with chips and salsa, Branzino, Betabel salad and a side of elote. Overall, Reposado delivered a memorable evening, combining excellent service and delightful flavors!

I had a bit of a mixed experience at Reposado in San Mateo... We started with the Bruselas( fried Brussels sprouts with pomegranate chipotle glaze and tahini dressing) and honestly, they were fantastic. Super crispy, really flavorful, with that perfect balance between sweet and smoky. The tahini added a nice creamy touch that made the whole dish come together beautifully. Definitely one of the highlights. The queso fundido was another hit, make yourself a favor and order it!!! Then we tried the Pancita, the crispy pork belly with tortillas, guacamole, and pico de gallo. This one was a bit of a letdown. The texture was good, but overall it felt pretty bland. Nothing really stood out, and it was missing that punch of flavor you'd expect, especially from a Mexican dish. For the mains, the Costilla (braised short rib in adobo) was very enjoyable. The meat was tender and rich, and the sauce had a nice depth of flavor. It felt like a well-executed, comforting dish. Unfortunately, the Crepas con Mariscos didn't work at all for us. The idea sounds amazing, seafood-filled blue corn crepes with poblano cream, but the reality was disappointing. To our palates tasted almost like nothing, which is a shame considering the ingredients. It really lacked personality for the entire group. That's kind of the theme of the meal: some dishes were really good, others just didn't deliver. And with Mexican cuisine, you expect bold, clear flavors, so when that's missing, it's noticeable. The place itself is beautiful, very elegant, stylish, and clearly newly done. The decor feels refined and thoughtfully designed. The only odd thing is that getting to the bathroom is like...going through a labirinth! Service, unfortunately, wasn't great. Our food arrived before we even had utensils, and we had to call the waiter multiple times just to get water or order more wine. That said, it might be because they've opened fairly recently, so hopefully it's just something they'll improve with time. Overall, there's definitely potential here...thinking to plan another visit in a few months :)

Wow!!! Just had dinner at Reposado and I am blown away and I am a tough critic who is not easily impressed. We have been looking for a good Mexican place for years and was very disappointed with Amado. Literally every single thing we had from cocktails to sides and even garnished salads with the dates was an explosion of flavor. The server Randy was fun charming and entertaining and knew the menu inside out so was able to ask any questions. The manager Scott came over not once but twice and sent us a desert which again was insane! The banana cake and ice cream was indescribable. I give this place a blazing 5 stars and will most definitely be back again soon. Perfect meal from first bite to last

The new place in town! Nice interior with a full bar not just margaritas on the menu. Since it's new everyone was checking it out and it was a full house. Service was attentive, water glasses full at all times and multiple waitstaff asking if everything was ok. We started with manhattans and chips and guacamole. Fun presentation and good guacamole but at just shy of $20 it's a bit pricey. Not a lot of traditional menu items although they are prepped with items like black beans and mole sauce. We tried the Salmon and the chicken dish. Both were good sizes and flavorful. Since the place is new there aren't a lot of postings yet, I've added a few more for reference
