Redwood City is a city on the San Francisco Peninsula in Northern California's Bay Area, approximately 27 miles (43 km) south of San Francisco, and 24 miles (39 km) northwest of San Jose.

This is a small local taqueria & Mexican restaurant that became one of our "go to" places for fast, cheap food -- like those nights when you don't feel like cooking and you're too mentally tired to go to a nice restaurant and spend brain cells deciding on menu choices.Their super burritos are huge monsters. Our favorite dishes there are the carnitas super quesadilla, the carnitas super burrito, and their soft corn tortilla tacos (carnitas, carne asada). I usually ordered 2 ala cart tacos. Just meat with some meat-specific condiments and no rice or guacamole. They are pretty generous with the meat and since each taco comes with two corn tortillas, you can turn your two tacos into four easier to eat tacos. A really cheap meal, particularly since you get free chips and salsa.They have a self-serve chips and salsa bar. I really like their hot salsa. It probably comes out of a can rather than being made fresh in the kitchen. Even so, it's really hot and flavorful.Two cautions: 1. Generally, their food is a bit on the salty side. But since I like salt....2. This is a cash-only place.

This restaurant has a small but interesting menu of Mexican flavored dishes. The service was good. The food was excellent. We will return. Prices are on the high side.

For so many years we have passed by this place right across from Sequoia High School. My husband wanted to try Peruvian food, and not knowing what to expect we entered Estampas. I was about to turn around to leave........the restaurant was dark, the decorations kind of kitschy and there was only one other couple in the whole place at 7:00pm. I am glad my husband convinced me to stay, because the food was delicious. We started with Anticuchos...wonderful. Then, my husband and I split the saltado de pollo. It also was delicious . There was so much food that we had to box up the leftovers. A great find!
