" I’ve been looking for authentic tacos in San Mateo, and I finally found my spot! The flavors are genuine, and they make their tortillas fresh right in front of you. I tried the al pastor, and my taste buds were dancing with joy. A small yet cozy place that’s worth the visit if you’re in the area. Can’t wait to try more of their menu next time!

" Let me tell you, the birria tacos here are made with love! They are absolutely delicious, and the side of consomme enhances the experience. I always look forward to my visits. The atmosphere has a homey feeling, not fancy at all, but perfect for enjoying authentic food. My only complaint is the limited parking outside, which can be a hassle.

" Had a great experience at Tacos Al Vapor. The tacos were fresh and packed with flavor. You can taste the authenticity in every bite. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. I enjoyed the variety of salsas available as well. It might get crowded during peak hours, so plan ahead. Overall, I loved it and will return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance is very laid back at Tacos Al Vapor Nueva Italia, which I appreciate, but my experience with the food was less stellar. I ordered the enchiladas and expected something flavorful, while they ended up tasting rather bland. I will say that the handmade tortillas were excellent and the service was courteous; they even offered me extra salsa when I asked. I hope to return to try the tacos, as many seem to rave about them.
