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 still haven't tried the pork tacos, but other than that I've had a bunch of different things and never had a bad meal or drink here. The guacamole is sooo good and the yuca fries are seriously addictive. My favorite tacos are the fish ones, especially the Baja fish taco. Also the vibe of this place is just happy It's colorful, fun, loud in a good way, and makes you want to dance when you walk in. I literally took photos of the tablecloths because they were so cute lol. Staff is always friendly and service is fast too. Easy 10/10 for me.

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!

This time on Door Dash, it was clear one fish taco was specified (or maybe we didn't notice last time). I thought the taco was good, but my second taco completely fell apart.

Must-try birria spot - I keep coming back for a reason…read more This place is on my list of must-tries for Mexican food, and I've been here countless times at this point. The beef birria tacos are SO good like the flavor, the birria consomme, the sauce, the meat. Everything just hits right. This is a legit hole-in-the-wall kitchen, and that's exactly what makes it special. No frills, just really good food that keeps you coming back. Every time I'm craving birria (which is often), this is where I go. The quality stays consistent every single visit, which is huge. You know exactly what you're getting and it never disappoints. For the price and taste, the value is excellent. You're getting authentic, flavorful birria without paying sit-down restaurant prices. If you're in the area and craving some birria tacos, do yourself a favor and try this place. It's the kind of spot that turns into a regular rotation real quick. Trust me, I'm proof of that.

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.

They have heat lamps outside if needed. We ordered: - ceviche trio: tortilla chips with three types of ceviche (camaron - shrimp, dorado - mahi mahi, pescado - fish) - pulpos salteados: octopus and calamari, potatoes, arugula, butter and saffron sauce - asado mixto: skirt steak, pork chop, chicken breast, prawns, chorizo, cactus, zucchini, onion, peppers, and tortillas The service is relatively quick, with food arriving around 10 minutes after we ordered. The fish and shrimp in the ceviche were super fresh and had a perfect level of tanginess and spiciness. The mango and avocado were great additions. The pulpo salteados was filling and comforting, with the octopus and calamari being tender, and the potatoes being boiled down to be soft. The garlic butter sauce was delicious! The asado mixto, in my opinion, is the best dish to get, since there's a bit of everything on the menu, from beef to pork to chicken to shrimp. Everything was cooked to be tender, and it was a delicious bite to wrap everything in the corn tortillas. The molcajete salsa had a perfect kick of spice. I always enjoy a dish with veggies as well, and the zucchini and peppers were great with the molcajete. While on the pricier end for Mexican food, everything was tasty and service is friendly and fast. I was stuffed this time, but definitely want to come try the churros next time!

There was absolutely NO flavor in either. The chorizo had no color. Isn't it supposed to be red? Both burritos and tacos were lukewarm at best. The Al pastor tasted more of the hot sauce they topped it with than a marinated meat. So disappointing after shelling out $160 for something so bland. We all got about halfway thru the burritos then chucked them. Will never order breakfast burritos from here again. Service was fast and the place is nice. Just need to add more of that Latin flavor we've grown to know. That's my 2 cents and I'm sticking to it E-YUCK to their breakfast burritos.
