Tres Amigos Taqueria in Half Moon Bay is a true gem of the community, serving locals and visitors alike with incredible food and hospitality since 1985. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a charming and rustic atmosphere, highlighted by a vaulted ceiling with shiplap paneling and sturdy sawn lumber beams that give the space a warm, inviting vibe.
The restaurant offers fast and efficient service, along with a fun and friendly ambiance. The staff are exceptionally professional, well-dressed, and attentive, even going the extra mile to clear plates off the table when you’re finished. Ordering is easy, and the food comes out quickly without compromising quality.
The menu is loaded with delicious options, but the super beef burrito is a standout. Generously portioned, it’s a challenge even for those with a hearty appetite. The flan dessert, served in a convenient foldable box, is a delightful way to end the meal. For drinks, the rice water is refreshing and perfectly complements the flavorful food. The pico de gallo with the corn tortilla chips is another must-try—it’s fresh, zesty, and packed with flavor.
Tres Amigos is conveniently located at a prominent corner with plenty of parking and outdoor seating options. However, the interior is so cool and comfortable, thanks to the vaulted ceiling and open doors, that dining inside is a pleasure.
Whether you’re exploring the stunning views and beaches of Half Moon Bay or just passing through, this taqueria is a must-visit. The combination of excellent food, welcoming staff, and a charming atmosphere makes Tres Amigos a 5-star experience. Highly...
Read moreThe dining experience is okay at best. It feels like the hustle and bustle of Fisherman's Wharf and trying to order your food or get chips and salsa or even get water. Getting a table was an adventure. It's as if you are jockeying for some kind of position on the freeway, hoping to squeeze into a small table before the other five people rush in. Their chip bar was pretty good and was constantly being refilled. But , there's no Fountain drinks. It's a good business strategy to offer all you can eat chips and salsa bar while they serve over priced cans of soda and juice. The staff was not rude, but that doesn't mean they were nice or friendly. The attitude was pretty much, 'Thank you for your money........next in line!' The food came very fast, but my wife and my food came at different times. I had the jumbo wet burrito with carne asada. It was pretty tasty, though the meat was a little under seasoned. My wife had the chicken tamale with rice and beans. The rice and the beans did not taste like they had any seasoning at all and could use a good helping of salt. The chicken tamale was totally an edible. The chicken tastes like it been boiled and water with no seasoning and it was actually a puddle of water on her plate which made everything soggy. Needless to say I got to share my burrito. As a word of caution, Do not sit at the table that faces the chip bar. It's pretty much the "butt bar table" because when you sit down you stare at everybody's butt bending over trying to get chips and salsa right in front of you. No joke, they're so close you...
Read moreI never thought I would recommend Mexican food off the Pacific Coast Highway in sleepy Town Half Moon Bay USA but here I am giving it a recommend to anyone tired of cooking barbecue and filleting fish at the campground and could do well with a little chorizo down their throat and a smile.
Want to see laser classes 2 this joint is there salsa bar and Chip fixing station. I like to bake how good Mexican food is based almost entirely off of what kind of salsa and chips Dixon Penn Station they will have available to me and available it will be made when I put it to the test.
What I am talking about is, will they limit a person on how much condiments and Chip fixing that person might want to do before they are satisfied. Normally this is done passively aggressive with little confrontation other then if they are seen bogarting any extra cups in the back until the threat (you) are gone. It is utterly pointless and to be expected to be talked to in the native tounge of their country known as Mexican or spanish you could say. Top that off with a dialect unique to that very eatery and it's not worth you time..
That's why I warned you can so you can enjoy me and infinite bowls of chips and bottomless awesome homemade dip.
This was not one of the Mad, stingy and shouldn't be running a kitchen past a...
