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.

Wonderful way to have a quick meal that is nearly all gluten free. All of the items behind the glass have V and/or GF, so I don't have to memorize ahead of time their pdf of allergens. Loved that the toppings were not additional cost, except for two. Only thing I was not a fan of was how it seems like there could be a lot of waste in the way things are served. The bowls are compostable, but the cups and utensils -- unclear what to do with those. Having silverware and cups that are washed would be less wasteful for eat-in customers (or have better signage by the compost/trash what goes where)

Their gluten free pasta was the best I’ve ever had!🤤 The texture is very similar to regular pasta, al dente. I have been craving it daily since I dined there.

We dined outside at Pinstripes after seeing a movie. Our server was knowledgeable, efficient and so friendly. She really took time to speak with the chef about my allergies, and they came up with gluten-free and allergy-free choices! All 4 of us loved our meals. We'll be back!

They do NOT serve baked potatoes. However, they do have loaded *MASHED* potatoes and a superb toasty gluten-free burger bun—which made up for it!

I ordered a personal cheese pizza which was served to me so hot and fresh. The gluten crust was one of the best I've had. Their prices are amazing, and the food is always served fresh. The employees are very friendly. The classic salad is amazing too. I love Mr Pizza san mateo!

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
