Mama Coco Cocina Mexicana — Restaurant in San Carlos

Loved the Mama Coco Cocina in Menlo Park, but this one in San Carlos didn't inspire the same love. I dined in on a cold night and the restaurant was as cold as a freezer. Other people who came in chose to leave because it was so cold and the restaurant couldn't close the door due to some regulatory reason that I think is questionable. Either way, the cold was so bad that my food arrived barely warm. I ate as quickly as humanly possible, but most of the food was cold by the time it reached my mouth. I asked for a Coke or Pepsi along with my meal and was super disappointed to see that there's no fountain soda. It wasn't even a Mexican Coke. Rather, they just have plain old boring metal cans of Coke, which I'm not a fan of. The service was nice and the food tasted fine, but it was painfully cold sitting in my chair and the meal was kind of ruined by the food being cold as well. I imagine this restaurant is more enjoyable to visit when it's...

We ordered calamari, burrito w/ el pastor, fish tacos, margarita and Dos Equis. Drinks were good and good price. Fish tacos (you get 4) were fresh and tasty. Calamari were too oily and did not feel fresh. Burrito was satisfying and tasty, worth buying again. I was surprised that carne asada was not an option for burrito or tacos. It was a special entre item on the menu. We also got chips and salsa at the beginning which were ok, store bought so it wasn't something new. Service was great, pleasant and quick, though there were only 3-4 other tables occupied. Worth coming back here for quick lunch to grab a burrito but it didn't bring anything new from the other 3 restaurants here in...

The food is nasty. They ran out of shrimp and told me after I paid and waited. The burrito has no flavor with cheap talapia fish. The nachos taste horrible. The ceviche was sub with fish and overloaded with tomatos that taste like new shoes with no shrimp. No utensils also and didnt even ask; I had to use and find my own. I will never come back ever again. Never had such tasteless Mexican food ever and scammed my $ without even adjusting the bill.

The people who gave them a 5 need their taste buds checked or they just never had real...
