I recently had the pleasure of ordering from the DT San Mateo location via DoorDash, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, I'm always a bit cautious when it comes to ordering sandwiches, but the Spiffy Tiffy exceeded all expectations. I specifically requested my sandwich to be extra toasted to ensure the texture of the gluten-free bread was just right, and Zeferino, the staff member responsible for my order, truly delivered. Not only was the bread perfectly toasted, but the amount of ingredients packed inside was generous and satisfying. What truly set this experience apart was Zeferino's attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction. Upon calling to express my gratitude, Zeferino was incredibly humble and gracious, further exemplifying the outstanding service provided by this establishment. For those within the gluten-free community, you'll understand the excitement of finding a sandwich that not only meets your dietary needs but exceeds your taste expectations. I highly recommend the Spiffy Tiffy sandwich from this location to anyone seeking a delicious and gluten-free dining experience. Thank you, Zeferino, and the team at this location, for making this order a memorable one.

True quality is measured not just in flavor but in fellowship and Minako Japanese has both in spades. Judy and her mother offer a menu that easily accommodates both vegans and folks with celiac desease. Home-grown ume plums and meticulously stewed sauces will convince you this is about as authentic as it gets. Just remember to pull yourself away from the meal long enough to chat with the ladies who make this place so special!

Efficient and courteous staff. Great food and vibe. Any of the flatbreads can be made with gluten free crusts.

Great gluten free penne pasta, service and TVs for watching sports

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.

Love going to this restaurant! They have good options for gluten sensitive diners. I usually get the veggie roll and guac and chips. Our branch/office orders delivery for our client lunch meetings on a regular basis. The packaging presentation meets expectations and so far our orders have been accurate. When my friend and I went to dinner this past Sunday, we were pleasantly greeted by the host and served attentatively by our server. Our food came out promptly and delicious. Chef Eber and his team turn out flavorful dishes on a consistent basis, whether for in-house dining or delivery service. Pacific Catch continues to be my go-to restaurant when I want to have a great dining experience for myself, friends/family, and or clients.

Delicious pizza and salad, and they were very accommodating to our dietary restrictions! Gluten free menu had a nice selection, and they also offer vegan cheese for those who are lactose sensitive! Service was fast and very pleasant.

Hana Kim

Delicious food that is gluten free friendly and the yelp wait-list is convenient, never have to wait too long for yummy pho.

Oliver Tromp

Wow, really impressed. Delicious pizza (I will be thinking about that spicy calabrese honey pizza for a long time) with good gluten free options (including GF crust). Really nice interior as well.

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.

David Wood

I like this place. I was able to get a simple burger that fit my dietary requirements but tasted really good. They do country homemade style gluten free buns and they ask you how you like your burger cooked - I went medium rare which was perfect. I also enjoyed the sweet potato fries which were not overly salty like they often are elsewhere. The decor is like a clean version of the stereotypical American diner and the staff were very pleasant. The prices were reasonable for San Mateo. I'll be back soon.

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!

Andrea Aguirre

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!

Best steaks we had in the area. We celebrated a birthday for our son, 17. The filet mignon was excellent! And they have several gluten free dishes, including very good creme brulee.

Kamy Lowenthal

Overall the food and ambiance were good. Our server was not 100% attentive. I wish there were more gluten free and dairy free desserts

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!

Addison Duvall

Food, service, vibe, everything perfect. The owners personally accommodated a gluten intolerance at our table. Our waiter was also hilarious. They are METICULOUS with bringing classic Italy!!

Natasha Bartolome

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!

Daniel Phillips

I love this place they always make you feel welcomed and are always so nice.. they have gluten-free buns and amazing garlic fries and beyond patties for burgers!!!! Yum

Heather Parr

Best gluten free avocado bacon burger with bun.

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

Staff here went above and beyond. Greek Gyros, Burgers, Steaks, Salads, Salmon, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free... this spot really is more than meets the eye. Prices are competitive

Wow, I really love this place. World fusion cuisine at its finest. Every dish is a unique adventure of exciting colors, aromas, flavors, and textures. The dining experience is almost like a mini vacation to a new country you have never been to before. Each plate is a beautiful work of art, blending exquisite sights, smells, and tastes. Everything on the menu is fantastic. Cannot wait to go again. Many gluten free options.
