We ordered for delivery from grubhub, and the delivwas very smooth. Our order was welldone open plqte picanha asada (beef) and open plate frango. The setting of the plate, with fries and beans and rice and meat is very welcoming. The rice was ok, the chicken was not that good, but the beef was delicious. The beans also was not that tasty, and who can complain about the fries. Overall good foos, and will order again. read more

Mr. Taco Man - Open Plate - Picanha Assada - Tacos Near Me - San Mateo, California

This place is a solid 3.5 stars. Got a carne asada taco here today for $3.99. Added $3 to add Guacamole, Sour Cream, Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato . Not sure it was worth it as the total was $6.99 before tax for one small taco. That said, the carne asada was tasty and everything tasted delicious. The 5 tortilla chips that came with it were very stale. I think they need to reconsider lowering the price of the add-ons. read more

So crazy me decides she wants Mexican on May 5 - real smart... Anyway, I saw the reviews for this place and we decided to try it. They say it's Brazilian food Mexican style and we love both. Please know that my rating is really 3.5 stars. I call in the order and the guy taking it had a really hard time with it. He was new and it was super noisy in the background. However, he got it all and told us about 45 minutes. We went over but they were running quite a bit behind and the place was packed. Social distancing by the crew and customers was completely gone. Had to wait an extra 20 minutes or so for our order. Completely understand given the day. We shared 4 tacos and 2 quesadillas. I also ordered a side of guacamole which they forgot (but charged me for..). The portions are very large and the food is tasty. However, I did find a french fry in one of the tacos (they do serve fries but just the same..). They also give a choice of mild, regular or spicy salsa which was greatly appreciated as my husband is very spice adverse. We had enough for dinner and definitely lunch today so plenty of value. Hubby really liked it and would definitely go back. I'm a bit more on the fence. read more

We are all about the crust and it's perfection. The ingredients are high quality. The Pizza is delicious!!

I love this place. This place has really good Italian and authentic Brazilian food. Yah weird huh? I don't know how they do it but it's two restaurants in one. But whatever you order the food is good. Really good! And a fair price. The only missing from this place is the white table cloth service. So if you look at it from that place, this place is a bargain. Tip: get the Picanne plate.... you won't stop smiling read more

I can't speak for the experience actually eating at the restaurant, but I'm guessing it's much better. Tough for me to provide a review based on a single experience through ubereats, but i'll come back and update after a few more experiences. The tofu burrito was pretty solid, a tiny bit salty, but it's a nice gesture in the first place to provide a vegetarian option. It was a very plump burrito that included salsa verde and some chips on the side. Nothing spectacular or mind-blowing, pretty good burrito. The two tacos I ordered was also pretty good, again, nothing spectacular or mind-blowing. This also came with a few chips which I really liked. Wondering if I eat at the establishment it'll come with more chips and a wider selection of salsa. This time around, for two tacos and a burrito with chips, we received only one salsa verde. All in all it was good, satisfied our craving, but i'll continue to try other locations as well. read more

3.5 stars! Connected to Mr. Pizza Man (same owner), Mr. Taco Man is an unassuming, hole-in-the-wall restaurant serving generous platters of Brazilian food! What a find--many Brazilian steakhouses around here are on the higher-end, so it's quite refreshing to find a casual option with so many delicious items. Their "open platters" come with a choice of meat along with refreshing lettuce/tomato salad, corn, potato salad, rice, beans, and my favorite components: farofa (a savory toasted cassava mixture flavored with bacon), and Brazilian cheese bread, two amazing balls of doughy, chewy, mochi-like bread! The farofa was especially delicious when mixed with the rice, and the cheese bread just had the most amazing texture! The thinly-sliced grilled steak and grilled chicken topped with sauteed onions were decent, though a bit on the tough side. There's a small salsa bar on the side with a few spicy sauces that went well with the meats, and the very friendly server gave us free chips as well while we were waiting! Overall, a cool, casual place to check out! read more

went in to get a cheese quesadilla for my daughter and when i placed the order, the cashier had her mask on. stepped out to grab something from dreagers but when i came back to pick up my order the cashier had her mask on on her chin! ‍ then comes the chef with my order also has his mask on his chin. if you're covid cautious, definitely don't recommend coming/ordering from this establishment read more

We have gone to Mr Pizza Man for years. We walked in today planning on getting pizza and to our surprise Mr Taco Man was there! We ordered chicken tacos, nachos and pork burrito. All of which were beyond our expectations! Super fresh and really delicious!!!! I would highly recommend this place and I think they are going to compete with the other places that have been downtown for YEARS! Super friendly and accommodating !!!! We will be back! read more

Me and my boyfriend ordered this two days ago? And we still have upset stomachs. I don't know what they put in the food or what was wrong with it, but definitely avoid this place. It sucks because we really did enjoy what we ordered :( read more

Staying in San Mateo on a work trip & have never been here before. Got in late & was HUNGRY. The hotel recommended Taco Man & this place did not disappoint. First off, they were friendly on the phone & delivered. I ordered the carne asada burrito and made it a super with mojado. Being from AZ I have high expectations of carne asada, but theirs was delicious! Very tender meat, didn't even encounter any chewy fatty pieces. Everything was very fresh & had great flavor. The delivery was quick too!! I would definitely eat here again. read more

Ordered through doordash. Got a super burrito with beef, and chicken nachos. The chips in the nachos were soggy and not crunchy :(. The rest of the stuff in the nachos were good and not salty. I even liked how I added a note, saying exactly like "free sauce please", and they gave me some green sauce for the burrito, and nachos! The sauce tasted like it had some Brazilian flavors in it too, which was interesting. The burrito beef was nice, and I like how they had orange rice too! I'd order from here again, but maybe not the nachos again, since I think those need to be crunchier. read more

Not sure why they do GrubHub deliveries if they're going to express how busy they are and have my order 20-25 min late to the driver. By the time my food got here it was cold. For the food itself, I'd ordered nachos and a quesadilla. I understand this place specializes in Brazilian food so I may give it another shot, but my delivery experience was poor and the food arrived an hour late. Food was very mediocre and nothing to brag home about. Quesadilla was something I've made better at home, nachos were nothing special either. At least the order was correct. read more

Omg I ordered delivery two burritos specials with two Drinks and two desserts ... they forgot my drinks and desserts... But it's ok because I called and he charged me for one meal after telling me he would deliver my drinks and desserts but I insisted not to because I didn't want to wait. The burritos were BOMBBBBB so good made me wanna Slap my mama !!! Definitely San Francisco has amazing food and I'm from LA !!! Will definitely order again when I go back read more

Ordered for delivery off their website. Apparently the delivery order taking and delivery is handled by a third party. I placed the order at 5:51pm. Was advised by the website that the order would be delivered by 6:51pm. It showed up at 7:25pm. The burrito bowl was good, BUT... The tortilla chips that came with the order and the chip used for the nachos were EXTREMELY stale. They ruined the nachos. read more

The picanha plate, quesadillas, and tacos are really good. Serving sizes are good too! I've been coming here for around 3 or 4 months now and they have not yet disappointed me . Their staff is always friendly, and they even give us extra servings of tortilla chips when we ask. It's cool too that they offer free delivery for orders over a certain amount. read more

Oh my! Just ordered a burrito and nachos from here, via Grubhub. AMAAAAAAZING! I love Latin food food and these were solid! The burrito was a really good size. It was full of meat, beans, rice, yummy veggies, and it came with the best salsa verde. Definitely ordering another one of these bad boys! The nachos were fantastic! Lots of toppings. Mr Taco Man didnt skimp on anything! Do yourself a favor and try this spot! Super yummy! Muy delicioso! read more

I have ordered Mr. Taco Man through Yelp and though the delivery runs a littttllee slower than estimated time, the food has never been cold and it's been AMAZING. I specifically love their burritos as you get plenty of tasty meat. My husband is half Brazilian and has had a few of their Brazilian plates... Taste just like home for him. read more

Nice food with reasonable price Chicken burrito is always good choice And nacho is also good read more

they are doing great job with take-out during these times. The Bowls are fantastic: definitely Brazilian, not Mexican. ( different tasting rice, unusual pinto beans, and chicken better than any local place makes). just $8.49. Also had the bowl with pork, and it is roasted and better than carnitas! I'll be back! read more

Was reluctant to try it. I got the Mexican food here. It's ok but I won't be back there's just better food and better service in downtown San Mateo. Staff was respectful. Food was just slow, bland and salty. read more

The food was pretty good. My burrito was missing guacamole and the driver forgot our drinks and desserts. We called Grubhub and the driver came back with our missing items. If it weren't for those things my rating would be higher. read more

A simple and pleasant experience. I was having troubles finding cheese bread/pao de queijo after I tried it at a Brazilian steakhouse, and didn't wanna pay the high fees just to have that specifically again. Anyway, I walked in around 9:40PM on a Saturday night and scooped up their remaining 6 cheese breads for $0.75/each. Sounds good to me! And tasted good too; we ate two as we left the building. I think the person who helped me mentioned they sold them frozen(?) as well for $0.50/each or so. Cool thing to keep in mind. I only wish I asked for some re-heating methods for my remaining 4 pieces. I'm not a local, but I'll definitely swing by again for some cheese bread! read more

Authentic Brazilian "quentinha" in the bay area. Food is delicious and well seasoned. Portions are generous. They also have authentic guarana do Brasil, a perfect pairing for the meal. What a treat! =) read more

So many options! This place is teamed up somehow with neighboring pizza joint and together they got it all. The burrito I had was very decent. Priced higher than say, chipotle, the quality is slightly better. I'll try this place again. read more

So yummy! This is really Brazilian food that you can order assembled like Mexican food. I tried three tacos, chicken, pork and fish, so I could sample multiple flavors. They were all fantastic and incrediably generous portions. I could only finish 1 and a half. The hubby ordered the vegetable fajitas place and also loved it. We will be back soon! read more

The food is not very good, but what can you expect from a place named "mr taco man?" At least it's fast.

all my favorite mexican restaurants were not dordashing when i tried to order tonite.. i saw a listing for mr.taco man...I ordered a taco plate..3 tacos, rice and beans and a small salad.. the food was fabulous... read more

All I can say is wow! What a great team this place has, very considerate and energetic! This food is great! I ordered 2 wet burritos for me and my brother today and It was high level quality and flavor! Thank you Taco man! read more

I had a meat dinner and although plentiful the meat was tough and the flavor was gamey. I'll give the tacos a go next time since that's in their name. read more

Stood in front of the cash register for 10mins before anyone took my order: $12 for a super burrito. There was only one man working behind the counter, which I did feel sorry for. Waited another 15-20mins to get my burrito. I've never seen anyone make a burrito soooo slow... like counting each meat piece and placing them uniformly slow. I looked around the half empty store and the people that were there looked pissed. Btw sorry to the guy before me, the worker didn't wash his hand after using the cash register then making your quesadilla with his bare hands. Finally got the burrito and it was small. Thinking it still might still be a damn good for $12, the meat was cold, the rice undercooked and raw, and the onions too chunky and much. Their food safety and food temperature worries me. Extra star because I didn't get the runs but I also have a strong stomach. read more

I've had diarrhea for the past three days from the California Burrito. So there is there is that. I have never had this experience with food before. Didn't really have much flavor either. read more

Reasonably priced, but the prices in store were different (not as expensive) as what was shown online to order from Yelp, which was disappointing. The hot salsa was great, but the carne asada meat was a little dry to my liking and more grizzly than preferred. I would maybe try a different place for tacos before going back here. read more

The food was terrible, they slopped refried beans onto their street tacos? The salsa is pretty much water. Will not be returning.

Good food just honestly way too many beans! Beans on the tacos, beans with the rice and not refried beans just spicy, plain beans. It's overwhelming and you can't get a bite of anything else without a sometimes over or undercooked bean. Something to think about I guess. read more

Ordered the super steak nachos off grubhub app tonight. These were barely regular sized and hardly any toppings! Was supposed to have beans on it but there were no beans even. 90% plain chips. I paid extra for 'super'. The chips were also completely stale and not even fresh. Apparently there are other reviews complaining of stale chips too! You'd think they'd fix the problem! Avoid this place! read more

Awful awful awful! They put refried beans in my tacos which made it all soggy and inedible. I don't like beans in my taco that's disgusting. Then the side of refried beans that they gave was so wet it was gross. You get 2 spoons of rice. Yuk! I ended up throwing away my food and going to McDonald's. read more

I was suspicious because the name doesn't inspire confidence but Mr. Taco Man is delicious. Their thing is fusion Brazilian-Mexican food. The meats are great, and the salsa is amazing. Get the burrito Mojado style for a few bucks more so that it's smothered in their delicious garlicky salsa and cheese. read more

I have had their burritos a few times now and they are consistently delicious. The chicken and the ingredients used are never greasy or heavy and I love that everything is combined perfectly so you get all the flavors in every bite. My only complaint is that I wish there wasn't a $3 up charge to make it a super burrito because it is already $8.50 which is on the pricier side as far as burritos go. But I will say it is still worth it because I don't feel gross after I eat it like at other burrito places that use subpar and greasy ingredients. read more
