La Catrina Birrieria y Mas — Restaurant in Redwood City

We showed up 30 minutes after opening and were the only ones there at first. One of the menus (the one with sandwiches, which is what we came for) was no longer being offered.

We ordered a savory crepe (decent), a sweet crepe (decent), popcorn shrimp (good), and two different milk teas (bad; indeed after we left we Spilled the Tea into the trash).

I have sympathy for the person working there since she was operating the place alone, but overall the service was pretty bad. Very off-putting demeanor like she was constantly irritated by us being there.

The time management was also poor (again, sympathy for her working solo). Someone arrived right as we were finishing ordering and was told she would need to wait while our order was being prepared before she could order. After an additional 10 minutes, the person behind us gave up trying to order and just left.

Not sure why this place is so highly rated, unless there has been some recent changes in service, quality,...

The employees at Spill the Tea are very nice and very fast making my orders. The food is really good. I've had two sandwiches and they were both excellent. I especially like the croissant breakfast sandwich.

I just had the plain Belgian waffle from this restaurant and it was very good.

I have now tried the Churro waffle with vanilla ice cream. It also has caramel sauce drizzled over the waffle and maple syrup. It is another delicious item.

I highly recommend this restaurant because of its unique menu items and how tasty every one of them that I have tried is.

I ordered the bacon breakfast sandwich on croissant and it was excellent. The hash browns that came with it were perfectly done.

Update (2-5-23): Their blueberry muffin is big, fluffy,...

I visited this place to try the boba specifically but this was by far the worst boba experience I had ever had. I got three drinks, the xtreme passion with passion fruit popping boba, house milk tea with boba, and a (I believe it was called) dragon fruit paradise with lychee jelly. The dragon fruit drink was the only one that resembled that of a fruit tea drink, much credit to the lychee topping. The tea must’ve been over seeped because the other two drinks were bitter and sour and tasted nothing like what one would expect from a milk tea. I will not be coming back for this matter. Perhaps their food selection is better but I did not try it so I can not make a comment on it. My disappointment is immeasurable and my...
