Sixto's Cantina - Burlingame

Unfortunately, Sixto's restaurant has closed its doors. The lease was up and a new Italian restaurant is set to take its place. I have dined at their other location and enjoyed it. Before Sixto's, there was a Mexican restaurant which was a great addition to the neighborhood, as there was a lack of good Mexican food. With the new Italian restaurant opening, there will be two Italian restaurants next to each other and one directly across the street.

I'm a regular here, including ordering take out during the pandemic. 1st time dining inside since the closure. Food was delicious but sadden by them not offering chips and salsa when we sat down. From the waiter, they apparently are cutting cost by charging for chips. I would've thought they'd want to cherish their customers patronage by not taking such a treat away. Understand it may be economical, but I'm still a little disappointed. As I said, food and drinks were delicious !

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant with exceptional service from a friendly waiter who struck the perfect balance between charm and attentiveness. The food was delicious and had a unique twist. I enjoyed the tostada salad and complimentary chips. I am looking forward to trying the Caesar salad on my next visit.

Summary: The best Mexican food restaurant you can find in the Burlingame, San Mateo, Foster City area. Overall impressions were that the food was excellent, the drinks were good, the service was average, and the seating was average. If your primary concern is good food and good drinks, this is a must visit restaurant. The Drinks: They have a great variety of drinks that taste authentic, not watered down, and don 't have a ton of sugar. I recommend the Jalapeno margarita. They also have a good selection of tequilas. The Food: I am very picky with enchiladas, but Sixtos KNOCKED it out of the park with this one. If you like 'Mole ', which is a Mexican dark chocolate/chili sauce, then do yourself a favor and order the Chicken Enchiladas with Mole Sauce (pictures attached). The chips and salsa are also great. You have to pay for them, but this is COVID. Make sure you order the 3 additional salsas which are a combo of pineapple, chipotle, and jalapeno based. The food here is highly recommended. It 's expensive but we believe it is worth it for the area. The Service: The staff is very busy and during COVID, it 's hard. You may have to wait a while to be seated and/or served. However, the circumstances dictate most of this. We can 't knock a star due to county regulations. Outdoor seating is limited, but we felt safe the whole time. In conclusion, this is a great place to visit at least once to try the food. It may be your new favorite spot in the area. We will be returning.

This restaurant has the best food in the area. The service is quick, friendly, and welcoming. My wife and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner here. It was the perfect way to end our week-long vacation. Thank you!
