" Had a wonderful experience at Taqueria San Mateo! The everyday specials were irresistible, and I indulged in the taco Tuesday deal. The adobada was incredibly tender and well-seasoned. The moment I tasted it, I felt like I was back in Mexico. While the environment was a bit busy due to the location inside a gas station, the staff remained friendly under pressure, which further increased my appreciation for the service. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! This place was recommended by a friend and I couldn't be happier. The carne asada burrito was massive and absolutely delicious, brimming with fresh ingredients. I also tried the consomé, and it paired wonderfully with the tacos. The staff was super friendly and patient as I took my time ordering. It’s not a sit-down restaurant, but it's perfect for takeout and great for a casual meal. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Mexican flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

While it’s a takeout spot at a gas station, the food quality is unmatched! I'll always recommend it to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos at Taqueria San Mateo are simply out of this world! Whether it's the carne asada, adobada, or birria, everything is seasoned perfectly. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind, which makes the experience even better. There's one catch – there's no indoor seating! However, don’t let that deter you as the food is totally worth it! I’ll be returning soon for sure. " (*Curated Review*)
