Wina's Grill And Restobar

Grill first, bar second. Wina's Grill And Restobar in San Mateo is the kind of place where the food comes off a hot grill and the beer comes cold, and that's pretty much the whole pitch.

You're here to eat and drink at the same table. Get whatever's grilling and a bucket to go with it. Nothing on the menu is trying to impress you, which is the point. Music stays in the background so you can actually talk.

Hours are odd, so check before you go. The crowd is local families early and barkadas later, mostly people from around San Mateo.
