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.

I've been coming to Milagros my whole life, but now I'm finally reviewing it! This is one of my top…read more5 favorite restaurants in the area. I usually order Pozole, but that dish is only during the winter time. So I ordered a cup of tortilla soup! The chicken was fresh and delicious, and the broth was so good I drank it all. The salsa trio is always my favorite appetizer because of the spicy mango salsa! I finish it every time. I also got the Plátanos cubanos, but I got the toppings on the side so I could enjoy their plantains by themselves. As an appetizer, snack, meal, or dessert, plantains are the best. I ordered a side of rice with my steak tacos too, and I have to say this rice is the most similar to the type my mom makes at home. Not too tomatoey, but perfectly moist and tasty. I opted out of getting a cocktail today, so I got a mocktail. I was craving agua de jamaica, which they didn't directly have, but this "zero proof" cocktail hit the spot ;) As for the steak tacos, the steak was a little too chewy for my liking, but that's because I usually get my steak well done (I know, don't judge). Thank you Milagros for always being the best spot for a comforting meal!

I'll start by saying that I've been coming here for years and the food is great. Came in recently…read moreand the service unbelievably slow, while prices had of course gone up. The biggest disappointment however was when I looked at my receipt. In addition to taxes and tipping, I was another charged 3.5% for "state mandate." I inquired and was told that since the restaurant has to provide medical insurance, their employees they charge customers for that now. It's just so shady that this is not disclosed ahead of time or at least no obvious and it's only if you look at your receipt, do you see you're being charged this additional fee. Word for the wise it is optional despite the mandatory language on the receipt, so I encourage everyone to refuse to pay. You are not the one employing the employees, the employer is.

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.

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.

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!

Food- not good they have all the ingredients, but would it kill them to season their food. A little salt maybe while your cook. I had the torta con papas. Carne asada was not seasoned, it was just meat, avocado, tomato and lettuce, once I added salt, jalapeños and a little salsa it actually tasted like something. In all honesty I can't go back nor would I recommend it to my friends and if your Mexican and you like it que vergüenza. One star because they have free refills.

Summary: Flavorful, but HEAVY…read more Details: They just opened up a new branch in SF, but we wanted an excuse to hit up San Mateo, and Latin American is always a good enough excuse. While photos of their SF location suggest some seeing, this OG location is pretty much pickup/delivery only: a fairly literal hole in the wall, located along a random quiet street. Most folks would probably opt to take home or eat at one of the "nearby" parks, but we've gotten in the habit of just eating in the car, which... not so great for something as messy as birria lol. I'll say that for most folks, this would probably easily be more a 4 star spot, while for us, it's more a 2 star since we're unlikely to come back. That's not to say the food was bad: on the contrary, the flavors were quite good, and the consomme was less salty than some of the others we've tried. But their food is HEAVY. Not just the birria itself, but also the burrito we got, and heavier than other places we've been for some reason, with the birria sitting in a pool of oil soon after we picked it up. This probably isn't a deterrent for most people though, so take this as you will. Accessibility: Not too relevant since this is really just a pickup spot, with the pickup window being at the usual height you'd find elsewhere.
