El Paisa by Los Alegres Taco Truck 2110 Middlefield Rd, Redwood City Tacos • $$
2110 Middlefield Rd, Redwood City

“I live on the east bay but work in the peninsula. Was craving birra tacos and found them on yelp. My husband has food allergies but was willing to try the chicken soft tacos. I brought everything home across the 92. He didn't have an allergic reaction! He loved them so much, he asked me to buy them again afterwards work the next day! The birra tacos were delicious as well! The consume (dipping) is really good! Everything was wrapped nicely and still warm by the time I got home. The second day I tried a chicken burrito and that was delicious as well! I highly recommend!”

“Swekar was very helpful - thank you! - explaining dishes & making suggestions about which Nepalese dishes go together. The Buff momos, chilli badel (wild boar), aloo tikki (potato pancakes), & naan were all delicious!(The first time we ate here, we stayed with 'safe' choices. Delicious, but safe. The reviews encouraged us to try new dishes!)Hāmī phirtā hunēchauṁ! (We will be back!)”

La Viga Seafood & Cocina Mexicana 1772 Broadway, Redwood City Mexican • $$
1772 Broadway, Redwood City

“We ate at La Viga Seafood & Cocina Mexicana. It was nice. I thought it would be a bit fancier because I saw it recommended somewhere. The seafood dish with different kinds was really good, especially the shrimp. The tacos cost $6 each, which seemed a lot, but they tasted great. The chips were the best part—they were not greasy and very crunchy. They gave us two kinds of sauce; the green one was the best. The cold beer was also really good with the food. Even though I expected something a bit different, we liked it a lot and want to go back to try more dishes.”

“I recently visited with my firends to Broadway Masala, and I just want to say this is the best Indian restaurant so far I have visited than any other place. The food, service, managemnet, hospitality is great and to the peak. They got both veg and non-veg options and its hard to do comparison on what is better than the other. Totally recommended place for new people and all time India food lovers.”

Gourmet Haus Staudt 2615 Broadway, Redwood City Brewpubs • $$
2615 Broadway, Redwood City

“Food is good, even better after a couple beers. It’s been better in the past, they have room to improve but I expect it’s difficult to prioritize the menu when so much effort goes into the outstanding beer selections. One of the best in the bay. Their line-ups for SF beer week were incredible.Service is full of personality. From the business minded Karen who knows how to up-sell so watch out, to “HELL YEAH” Allen who rewards every selection you make with great enthusiasm, this crew is fun. Let’s not forget the guys in the shop, they keep it stocked with the dankest imported Haribos, freshest IPA’s, and an ever expanding selection of quality spirits and other German snacks.Atmosphere is a melting pot of customers, I’ve never had a bad time when visiting. I assume the knuckle-heads find a way to keep themselves off the premises by being stuck-up about them not having standard bar beers, or non-german-ish food, or requiring you to walk around back if you try to bring your dog through the front. I’ve seen it live. Some people are like “oh sure, no worries”, and others just lose their mind and blow up, yelling and cursing at the staff. I mean if they want to wait for them to literally remove all the food from the store (couple hours) I guess they could accommodate haha.Overall, this place is great if you’re cool. If you’re a jerk, you’ll hate it.”

Zareen's Restaurant & Catering 2039 Broadway, Redwood City Pakistani • $$
2039 Broadway, Redwood City

“This restaurant has a very stunning open design and inviting atmosphere, it has a very beautiful interior design and an interesting feature of books set on the walls, paired with comfortable seating. The staff, mainly mexican were all very hardworking and friendly. It's Pakistani cuisine that is not comparable to any other restaraunt I have seen, it's very healthy and it's oily at all mostly with grilled dishes. Our meal included naan and garlic naan, Beef Chapli Kabab and Grilled Chicken Boti Sizzlers, and masala fries with a spicy ranch dip, each dish tasted amazing with flavor and quality. The kababs and grilled chicken, was outstanding, solid 10/10 for taste. Service was very quick and it was a very enjoyable visit for our family. I highly reccomend this joint to anyone seeking top-tier Pakistani cuisine in a beautiful setting.”

La Cocina de la Abuela 314 Arguello St, Redwood City Mexican • $$
314 Arguello St, Redwood City

“My favorite Mexican food around. Everything I’ve tried is delicious and fresh. I don’t eat meat but the fish and vegetarian options have been amazing.I love their fish tacos … fresh fish and the flavors are so fresh with mango and avocado and just the right amount of salsa, so it doesn’t cover the flavor of each ingredient which I think that’s the problem at some other places. Their aguachiles was mouthwatering and had a nice kick ?️ but they adjusted the spice level to my weak palate ? still had a kick! Their Gordita’s was my latest order. They have a vegetarian option with papas and nopales (that option isn’t available online but no problem on the phone or in person. I think there are less options online tho).They’re also kind and welcoming, great customer service. And todos hablan español y siempre me atienden genial.Will go back anytime I want Mexican food.”

“Great little coffee shop for simple drinks and beans. Beans and coffee were really well priced!! The owners are really friendly and knowledgeable. Don’t expect fancy drinks, but just good coffee. The mocha and cappuccino were both quite good. We’re excited to try the Ethiopian Guji beans. There are lots of cute mugs for sale, too. There isn’t much seating inside, so don’t expect to bring a book or your laptop. Parking can be tough, but if you’re patient you can find a spot on the street. Lots of food options around. Come visit today!”

Selby's

Selby's 3001 El Camino Real, Redwood City American • $$$$
3001 El Camino Real, Redwood City

“I would give Selby's 10 stars for service if I could. Our server, Patrick, was wonderful. He was very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and happy. The only real downside we find with this lovely restaurant is the volume of music which is too loud for us to enjoy a special meal. As we were leaving, we asked if they would seat us, next time, at a table at the periphery of the room instead of at the balcony where the noise from the ground floor drifts up to the second floor. One surprise was that our entrées arrived just slightly warm and not hot as we anticipated. The meal was still delicious so this wasn't negative but yes, a surprise. ”

The owners are well versed in all things wine and always have something fun on hand. Could not recommend this place more.”

“We had a great dinner with old friends and it was quiet enough to actually hear each other! Beautiful spot by the water, great service, and the food was quite good. I had the teriyaki skirt steak which was perfectly done and delicious. My husband's halibut was good as well. The bread and Mediterranean platter were just ok but the Fritto Misty was good. If you want to go to a really crowded, noisy, popular place, this isn't it. But it's busy enough, the food is decent, the service is great, and the ambiance is really nice. I'd definitely go back.”

LV Mar Tapas & Cocktails 2042 Broadway, Redwood City Latin American • $$

“We had a phenomenal waiter. I asked about gluten free options since the menu was not marked, and he took me through the menu to explain what could and could not be safely prepared without cross contamination. Unfortunately, not many safe options! There are very few gluten-containing items, but they spoil most of the menu for me due to a shared fryer - so no homemade tortilla chips for me! The cocktails were great, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the staff were friendly. I just wish they would modify kitchen practices to be more celiac friendly.Dietary restrictions: Minimal truly gluten free items due to cross contamination”
