The food and the vibe is great but you really have to watch them like a hawk when they are preparing your food. They consistently mess up orders and then accuse you of not giving enough information to them when you ordered. They also way over charge. My children went in for lunch today and one of the kids ordered nachos with just meat and cheese — the kids knew to watch out for what they would be charged. Sure enough the cashier rang them up for super nachos at $ 9 (for meat, chicken and cheese). My daughter pointed out that they didn’t order «Super nachos» and the cashier reluctantly refunded her $ 1 although the board said the nachos were $ 5.50. It’s pretty bad when you are taking advantage of children.

I love this place! The ladies at the counter always greet me with a smile and remember my usual order. The premises, including the restroom, are always very clean. The food is tasty, fresh, and reasonably priced.

So, this place is a little grimy and definitely not like every other place in Burlingame, but I love it. The food isn’t the best and most authentic Mexican you can get, but there’s a halfway decent bar with attentive bartenders and really fast service. Food comes out quickly, and you’re never really waiting for anything. Everyone who goes here and works here only really speaks Spanish, and that’s kind of the way I want it. A singular tv adorns a wall in the entire place, and I’m happy to be sitting here and hanging with a beer and some nachos. If you’re looking for a way to just chill and have some good food, check out Corneta. You’ll thank me later.

End of lunch rush. Ordered a super burrito, instead of following the preparation down the line she wrote down my entire order. They were making multiple orders at the same time so I couldn’t tell that she had written my entire order incorrectly. By the time I figured it out I was back in my office completely disappointed.
I was watching her make burritos and she was scraping the bottom of the guacamole pan and pulling lettuce out of the water. My burrito was dripping with water, disgusting! When it’s time to replace the ingredients don’t try and squeeze out one more order. That order ends up being inedible.
Seems popular so I am assuming they are only ruining a few meals per rush. Disappointing that it had to be mine.

I have been here on multiple occasions. I was actually in earlier today.
The food is okay not the best
Service is also okay the waitress was just talking for the longest time with her coworkers while i waited for the check so i decided to get up and go pay and the cashier couldn’t ring me up. Had to wait for the waitress again for another 5 mins.
Also every time i come in i always see the manager (the older hispanic man) yelling at his employees. Very professional

I ordered a Super Baby Burrito with Carne Asada, it was very good. Large portions, friendly service, and the price is not expensive. I will definitely come back here for my Mexican food fix.

I got the mushroom quesadilla (supreme, with sour cream, guacamole, mild salsa), and it was full of flavor and had lots of plump sauteed mushrooms. Will definitely get it again. I also tried their cantaloupe agua fresca, which was very refreshing. My sister got the supreme burrito with green chile chicken, and she said it was tasty. Big portions and generous salsa bar. We went during lunch on a weekday afternoon and it was busy, but only a couple minutes’ wait. I like that you can see them making the food, so in case there’s any question you can just point at what you want.

This place is amazing. The owner is incredibly generous, always working and always striving to make his prices and the food he offers better. Best tacos around, great prices. Wonderful people, if your not here, your missing out, stop by, it’s amazing!

Pros
— Large portions
— Rice & beans, soft and tasty. The opposite of Chipotle!
— Fresh seafood options (prawns, salmon, tilapia) that are not an afterthought
— Soccer & cervezas if you’re in the mood
— Bright interior with high ceilings, cool Day of the Dead décor
— Good salsa bar
— On charming Burlingame Ave.
Cons
— Can get busy and has an awkward layout (burrito line cuts down the middle of the space)
— Can be more expensive than most places depending on what you order
All in all, it’s one of my favorite taquerias.

Frequent dilemma: do I get a super burrito and have burrito left over, or get a normal one and have to leave out all my favorite toppings?
Solution: baby super burrito!!!
I highly recommend the carnitas and the super nachos. If only their delicious chips were free :’(

I’m so done with this place. They messed up my order THREE times in two days.
Yesterday they gave me steak instead of chicken and noticed it as I was walking out. So they came to me and offered me the correct burrito. They remade it, and left out half the shit I wanted in it (guac, red salsa, etc).
Today, I paid for my burrito, got to the park to start eating it and they gave me the wrong one. I received someone else’s order. So they screwed up in the process of making my food and giving me the proper order.
Annoyed. Never coming back. Used to come here all the time in high school.
UPDATE***** I tried this place again yesterday as it was my sisters birthday dinner of choice. They ended up selling my burrito to the person in line in front of me and had to remake it. When they remade it, they made it wrong AND there was a hair in it. I didn’t get refunded or a new burrito made. I’m done.

I found La Corneta Tacqeria to be a decent experience overall. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and their outdoor-​seating is phenomenal. I also found their prices to be very reasonable, especially when factoring in their location at the heart of downtown Burlingame.
My ONLY complaint is that their Al Pastor recipe uses pineapples.** I have had many Burritos Al Pastor in my day and I have never come across a recipe that calls for pineapples (doesn’t mean it isn’t out there though). I was surprised by it the first time I ate there and, to be truthful, I did not enjoy my burrito nearly as much because of it. Now when I go there, I know not to order the Al Pastor; however, I do wish they’d just leave the pineapple out entirely.
** I know this is very opinionated, which is why I won’t go lower than 4 stars.

Normally, I am very positive in my reviews and would give places second chances before writing them a review. This place, however, I would not give it another chance. First of, the person who took my order was impatient and had a snarky attitude. She rolled her eyes at me when the person making my burrito was asking her what I ordered.
Now moving onto the burrito, it was one of the worst burritos I have ever eaten. The meat was dry, the refried beans were dry, and the burrito as a whole was tasteless. The chips were stale.
The two stars is for the salsa bar, pitchers of water available, and the décor of the restaurant.
I’m hoping other people would have a better experience than I did!

MMMMMMM… La Corneta does not disappoint! I love their super burrito with al pastor or salmon. They also have good ceviche. The horchata is homemade. It’s creamy with just the right amount of cinnamon and sweetness. It’s not watered down like you get in some restaurants. Sometimes they mix up the orders for some reason and one person in your party has to wait a lot longer to get their food, but overall it’s a great place to get lots of delicious food. The only thing that I haven’t tried that I really want to get is the pozole! (Only served on the weekends.)
Seat yourself and order at the counter. It’s kinda like Chipotle, but with better, more authentic food!

I met a friend here for lunch and really enjoyed it! I like the salsa bar and they give chips with the meals so it’s a nice accompaniment. The place is really casual and it was pretty packed at lunch time. It’s an assembly line from when you order to when you pay.
I ordered the super vegetarian burrito (minus sour cream) and ate half of it at lunch– it was pretty big but very tasty!
Would I come back? yes! Mexican food in the San Mateo are is pretty meh, so this is a nice place to go to for lunch

For a taqueria they charge about $ 1-​$ 2 more than other places. The food is hit and miss. I’ve tried their enchiladas which lacks flavor and the tortilla is always hard, but their flautas are pretty good. Their Chile relleno needs to be cooked more so that the cheese is melted, and their rice and beans are never very cold.
Their fresh squeezed orange juice costs about $ 5 a cup which is expensive and their salsa bar is messy and dirty.

Called in an order to go – one chicken super burrito with mild salsa and one carnitas regular burrito with medium spicy salsa.
Waited almost ten minutes for the order and received the worst burritos we have ever had. I even had salsas from the salsa bar, but did not realize I needed multiple containers for each dry burrito.
No salsa at all in either burrito. Also missing guacamole and sour cream
In the super burrito.
La Cornetta was good when it first opened. It has gotten worse through the years.
So if you want a dry tortilla filled with a small portion of rice, beans and a little meat, this place is perfect for you.
I never thought I would think a large chain like Chipotle is better than a local business, but the food at Chipotle is fresh and flavorful while this was so dry and tasteless. I just need to drive a little farther to get a good burrito.

I ordered the steak and shrimp burrito with no guac or salsa. It was really good! Lots of shrimp and steak. The steak was a little salty and the refried beans were sort of dry, would probably get black beans next time. Overall, good burritto! Their chips are good too! Be aware of their orange salsa, it is HOTTTTTT!!!

Me encanta este restaurante. Todo lo que he tenido aquí ha sido super delicioso! (Just brushing up on my high school spanish lol)
I’ve actually never been to the actual spot, but my coworker always gets us togo from here and everything I’ve gotten has been delish!
My favorites are the baby shrimp burrito, shrimp quesadillas ANDDD the grilled salmon and shrimp platter. All have been muy delicioso!
I will have to update this review when I actually visit the place and dine in.
Gracias a tu por leer mi review, compañeros Unilocalers ;)
