There is a salsa bar with a variety of options, including fresh lime, which I love! I thought the burrito was excellent. It was a very nice portion with great ratios of toppings to meat. The carnitas was perfectly crispy, moist with great flavor. I was really impressed and would definitely return to try different items!

I've been coming here for about 5 years since I moved from SF. I love this place. The prices are…read morefair, the service is always friendly, the food is always fresh and I've never had a mistake on my order. 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.

Nick the Greek is one of those places we order from at least once a week, usually from either the…read moreFoster City or San Carlos location. We genuinely cannot pick a favorite because both are consistently excellent. Our regular order is the chicken gyro salad, loaded with fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, hummus, tzatziki, and a generous portion of chicken gyro meat. Everything tastes fresh, the meat is flavorful with those delicious crispy edges, and the spicy sauce adds exactly the right kick. It is filling without feeling heavy and somehow always hits the spot. Both locations have been remarkably consistent with quality, portions, and flavor. When you find a meal this reliable and satisfying, it naturally becomes part of the weekly rotation.

This location in San Carlos was one of my regular stops when I lived in the Bay Area, and it…read morequickly became part of my routine. There's something about being able to grab a fresh meal, sit outside alfresco, and just enjoy the California weather that makes everything taste a little better. Nick the Greek always delivered exactly what I needed--quick service, fresh ingredients, and food that felt satisfying without weighing me down. That consistency is what kept me coming back again and again. My go-to order was the gyro salad with pork belly, and to this day I still think about it. It was light but filling, bright and balanced, and never heavy. Crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, feta, tzatziki, rice for substance, and warm pita on the side. I would always swap the red wine vinaigrette for the lemon herb dressing, which tied everything together perfectly. It was, quite simply, the perfect salad. Every time I ordered it, I told myself, "You really should learn how to make this at home." And every time, I didn't--because it was just easier to let Nick the Greek do it for me. What I appreciated most about this location was the reliability. You could walk in hungry, get your food quickly, and know it would taste the same as the last time--fresh, clean flavors, generous portions, and no fuss. That's harder to find than people realize. I moved away in 2023, and now that salad lives in my memory as one of those simple pleasures that made everyday life a little better. If you're in San Carlos and looking for something fresh, fast, and consistently good, this place is a solid choice. And if you find yourself sitting outside on a sunny day with a bowl and a piece of warm pita, take a moment to appreciate it--because someday you might move away and miss it more than you expect.

I first drove to Paik's noodles that was recommended by the front desk of my hotel but walked in and got sent away due to them being on break between lunch and dinner. 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! I've heard of the Bay Area having not so great Mexican food but this place definitely was the exception. I might even want to say that it's the best Mexican I've had in the Bay.

I enjoyed the mint-lemon vinaigrette, feta cheese, and strawberry combination plus the crunchy effect of the chickpeas. The pastrami burger was also great. The burger was a perfect medium, charred in the outside and pink in the middle. The pastrami was seasoned right and the fat just melted in my mouth. For dessert, we had the Bread Pudding with whipped cream, but we opted to ad a scoop of vanilla ice cream to top it off! Of course, the meal would not have been perfect without our beers; Duvel 666 and Pojala Tiramisu Banger.

We both enjoyed our sandwiches and service was decent but for the $27 price, I would have expected that the sandwich would have included some type of side or at least some fries.

Like all of them. They must have changed to a cheaper vendor and I said it to my partner. Today they changed Coke to RC. Who drinks RC other than people in an old casino? I'm still paying them coke prices!! The slider I've always gotten this time had like half the cheese on it. It was half the weight and quality. It's obvious management changed or something changed where cutting cost is their priority. I'd rather maybe see them raise their prices 50 cents than to take away quality. Now it's just a place I want to avoid all together, where before I liked it and wanted to support it. Been here at least 25 times. Seems to get enough business to not have to reduce quality. What else behind in the kitchen are they now cheapening? It seems to be how most places move to after a while. The place that used to be good.

You can choose between the chicken sandwich or burger. I went for the burger because I really didn't want fried chicken. The banana shake is a bit too sweet and artificial for my tastes. NO drink included. Fries were cold. Burger was meh. Packaging was 10 out of 5 stars hilarious. Got the one I wanted which is the Wendy's minion, see picture LOL Meal was $14, so I thought it was worth it for the toy.

Why did I finally write one today? well, I was ordering through the drive-through and what I was ordering, they said was going to take a little bit longer. They asked me to pull around and park and come in. When I got my food, they thanked me for being so patient and gave me a coupon for a free "any taco of my choice" in the future. They totally didn't need to do that, but they did and it was really nice of them. Again, this is the BEST Taco Bell and best service on a consistent basis.
