Excellent sandwiches with a beach vibe. Perfect for lunch or a quick meal. We loved this place. And it has Gluten free bread !

One of my favorite comfort food places to eat. I frequent both this location in San Mateo and the one in San Bruno. I prefer the interior and ambience of the latter restaurant but parking there is challenging. The San Mateo restaurant is always busy as it's in a great location between S El Camino Real and Hwy 92 - easy to get to. The service has always been friendly and attentive. The servers chat you up and make you feel at home. Also, love that breakfast is served until 2pm! Our office came here to celebrate our coworker's birthday for lunch. We started with the Mediterranean Sampler - my favorite is the tzatziki. I had a cup of the avgolemono which is a lemony chicken and rice soup that takes me back to my days in Santorini. The birthday guy had the lamb burger which he said was flavorful and juicy. The other two each had entree salads, one of which was the Asian Chicken Salad (see picture). Another had the gluten-free cheese macaroni which I've had before but would recommend it as a side dish with something more savory to complement the cheesey pasta. I enjoyed my usual dish, the polenta and summer veggies. The garlic red sauce and cheese just oozes in between the polenta and vegetables. The portion size will never disappoint as you'll always have enough extra to take home.

The food was so amazing!! The Quesabirria tacos are gluten free :) (as marked on the menu). Next time I’ll order ahead online, the location is an outdoor takeout window attached to a kitchen (no indoor waiting area).

I've been here a few times now and it always feels like a fiesta. We walked in just when the lights dimmed, then came back on to party lights with music playing "feliz cumpleanos" to a family in the dining room. So fun! My partner and I grabbed a seat at the bar. A few minutes later, a tequila tasting was being set up. We were quickly served by our bartender. We ordered the sizzling fajitas which the two of us shared. The steak and chicken were super tender and the seasoning gave it that perfect grilled flavoring. For gluten-free, they served me soft corn tortillas and my partner the flour ones. My tortillas were a good size nor did it taste chalky. Margaritas are always so big, and as a lightweight drinker one was enough. The guys at the tequila tasting served us some free shots, my favorite is shown. What a great place for happy hour!
