The Topolobampo was a nice seafood medley. Didn’t expect octopus and shrimps on a fish fillet but it was good. Liked how the broccoli and rice soaked up the sauce

I can’t believe I haven’t tried this restaurant before. DELICIOUS. The molcajete is beyond words, and I didn’t think I like churros until my friend had me try one here. I enjoyed my margarita, and their ceviche was scrumptious as well. As I told the awesome wait staff, I will be back with my friends and family!

They have the best aguachiles in town. We tried the guava Margarita with tajin and it was amazing. Thank you for the great service!

A return visit to this wonderful neighborhood restaurant because we loved it so much the first time, we had to come back to explore more of the menu. We were not disappointed at all on this visit, and absolutely everything was delicious! Not pictured is the delicious guacamole, salsa, and fresh chips, and extremely tasty mango margaritas because we were so famished that we devoured them as soon as they were placed in front of us . The service is impeccable and the food savory and mouthwatering. This will be our regular go-to treat for us to enjoy with out family and friends!

Hearty and flavorful food with big portions and friendly staff. The free salsa was amazing too. The bisteck ranchero con camaron’s sauce was savory and tangy and the meats were cooked perfectly. Would love to go back and try more of the menu.

This place is awesome, super recommended. Just ask the owner Mario what you should order, he’s a great guy and really wants to take care of you. The chips and salsa are amazing, cerveza is cold … Que mas necessitas?

Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Everything we had was unbelievably delicious (my personal favorite were the enchiladas). We thought we ordered too much food, but had to eat every bite because it was all so amazing… and the margaritas made it even more fun! We will absolutely visit again next time I come to San Francisco.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in San Mateo, great food! My favorite is the Topolobampo plate! If they had hand made tortillas I would give them 5 stars.
