Las Palomas Taqueria — Restaurant in San Mateo

I am beyond disappointed in this restaurant. I used to go to the one that was the original place by Jack n the box..this place is nothing like it!! I don't know if it's different workers or that the owner is different but this place is garbage compared to the original place. I ordered a burrito and nachos .both were very MEH!! First both items they messed up!! Simple instructions that were not met. What I asked for and what I asked not put on were not and then I asked to be removed were not! I decided to give this place to try again when I saw it reopened Up the street however I'm gonna have to stay with my true one favorite and always on point Pancho Villa!! Their food by far is better than this place it doesn't compare it's like Night and day. I'm very disappointed this is not the place I remembered back when it was down 2 or 3 streets down. This place is garbage!! First u dont understand simple instructions of items I ordered but the quality isn't there. I will never buy anything from here again! I don't even know why I try to go somewhere else when my favorite Pancho Villa is always amazing and never disappointes. I just decided to try Las Palomas one more time since I hadn't in so long and it's a definitely a negative.. .. yuck...Pancho Villa you have no competition! And to make it worse this place was about $15 more than pancho villa that's ridiculous because Pancho Villa food quality is so suburb and this place has the nerve to charge an expensive amount for this...

The reason that im putting this very low review is because restaurant has to and needs to have empathy with its customers l place an order on Uber eats at 8:14pm today sunday july 13 and it took them 50minutes to let me know that they dont have a birria that l order an also the person who was on charge at that time lie to me saying that she can cancel the order and she want me to cancel the order and assume the cancellation fee this is a nasty service when l call uber customer support they cancel the order reimburse me for the total amount that l pay so please people be careful when you order thru the app this restaurant should be a shame for lien on the customer. Que berguenza su servicio es pobre respete mas a sus clientes que con gusto quieren probar su comida abiendo tantos restaurantes y lo escojan a usted por primera vez y esto se lleven como esperiencia para no volver...

We have been big fans of Las Palomas for years. Their new location in downtown San Mateo is gorgeous and so convenient to get to. Went today and ordered their grilled chicken super burrito. Just when I thought it couldn't get even better, today's was AMAZING. There is a certain taste to Las Palomas' meat, rice and beans that is unlike any other taqueria. Servings are generous. AND, they have a fabulous self-serve salsa bar - yes, just like pre-pandemic days with an amazing assortment of salsas, pico de gallo and pickled carrots/jalapenos and complementary tortilla chips sitting under a fab heat lamp.

Las Palomas is a family owned business - the husband and wife are delightful and take such pride in their food and service. We...
