    Chicken Chilaquiles!
    Hector F.

    Food really homemade! 3rd visit so far and consistently good! Tried their mix seafood cocktail and it was delish! Large enough for 2 haha for $13! Great deal...for lunch weekdays place is slow but dinners and weekends is full... 4* for the ambiance only.

    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.

    Quick take: Service is decent…read more The food isn't good here. I tried this place 2 times. Just isn't doing it for me. I do know others that do like this spot. I still recommend people to try it and decide for themselves.

    A hole in the wall type of restaurant, it's unassuming from the outside, located in the middle of a…read morestrip mall out of the way in San Mateo. 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. The relleno burrito was HUGE. The super burrito was also big, but not as big. Horchata was also large and tasted fine - definitely fresh milk was used :)

    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.

    Great tacos and ceviche! I understand why it received Michelin Guide recognition now…read more I ordered the ceviche trio, which included cóctel verde de camarón, dorado, and pescado. I also ordered the pescado taco and the cochinita taco. The food was flavorful and fresh. To end the meal, we ordered churros with some chocolate sauce, which were piping hot. I wish this place were closer to me because I want to try everything on the menu!

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!
