The food is delicious, excellent quality and gluten-free. Dining out when going gluten and dairy free can be very difficult, but this was great and arrived quickly!

Not only is the food very good (the seasonal turkey sandwich was delicious), but the service here is amazing. The person who helped me at the register had incredible service, and the service on the phone was amazing as well. Will definitely be back. Also, really great that they differentiated between a gluten-free preference vs allergy; great gluten-free options.

This food is incredible, especially if you are vegan and celiac (a near-impossible combo to find options for in this area!). To top it off, it’s affordable. Thanks for providing delicious, healthy food on a budget. Can’t wait to come back.

Had been to this location before and I'm not sure what has changes but we will not be back. When I asked what the bread choices were the young lady flicked her hand back and rattled off the 3-4 choices so fast I had to ask again. Once we got that settled we both ordered the pastrami one on rosemary and the other gluten free. We ordered to go. When ready at the guy that made the sandwiches called my name and handed me the two wrapped sandwiches, NO BAG & NO NAPKINS I had to ask for both. I see on a table orders made on line in a nice handled bag ready to go. To add insult to injury the gluten free bread was $2.00 more and tasted like dust, absolutely no flavor and just crumbled into pieces. The meat was ok what there was very tiny portions. For the $13.25 spent on a sandwich I'm expecting a lot more then what was received.

I cannot recommend this place enough. Such fresh and flavorful Cuban food on the peninsula! “Literally obsessed” is an understatement. It was our first time trying CK and I went with the kind cashier’s recommendations: Vaca Frita plate w/ rice and beans, Maduros, and all the sauces. PHENOMENAL. I can’t wait to come back and try everything else, especially the Cuban iced coffee and gluten free Cubano!

If you're in San Mateo and craving some authentic Mediterranean flavors, Tastee Grill is a must-visit! Their falafels are a delightful blend of crispy and tender, perfectly spiced and even gluten-free! The menu boasts an array of vegan options too. The Sauteed Eggplant is cooked to perfection, and the Sauteed Mushroom side is a umami-packed delight. Don't skip the Sauteed Cauliflower; it's a deliciously seasoned, healthy treat. Their Small Tabouli Salad is fresh, with the perfect balance of parsley, tomatoes, and bulgur. And their Lentil Soup, available in multiple sizes, is hearty and comforting. Everything is affordably priced and the portions are generous. Tastee Grill in San Mateo is the place for fresh, flavorful, and authentic Mediterranean dishes. A five-star experience! #SanMateoEats #MediterraneanDining #TasteeGrill #FalafelLove #VeganOptions #GlutenFree #HealthyEating #FlavorfulMediterranean #SanMateoRestaurants #DineLocal #GoogleLocalGuide
