april 13, 2015 by kristin satterlee leave a comment the big burrito stuffed with calabacitas and smothered with red and green this is another one of those “i can’t believe i didn’t share it earlier” reviews.tiabetty blue’s opened about three years ago on a neglected stretch of san mateo not far from gibson, in a two-story building that used to house a cleaning business. it was a surprise to see someone try a restaurant there, where one of the most notable nearby landmarks is k-bargain plaza, a derelict strip mall. of course, the location of michael thomas seemed equally strange when it first opened on a similarly unpromising section of carlisle, and look how that went ! perhaps the benefits of the two spots are as similar as their downsides, because both are sandwiched between residential neighborhoods hungry for tasty options nearby. i know i appreciate both of them being within walking distance of my house. in any case, though i appreciatedtiabetty blue’s tasty food when they opened, that was around the time when i was developing the achalasia that made it hard for me to swallow – and spicy food was particularly challenging for me – so we didn’t go there much. since my surgical fix, though, i’ve been having regular cravings for red chile. (odd, since i’d always been a green-chile gal before.) particularly, i’ve been wanting to eat attiabetty blue’s.tiabb’s – as we call it at my house – calls out to me with a siren song of delicious, plentiful new mexican food in a quirky, retro-hipster atmosphere. the menu hangs on the wall to the side of the register on huge laminated sheets, and can sometimes be hard to see around the line waiting to order at the counter. there are take-out menus by the register, which may be easier to read if you can reach in and snag one. there are a lot of choices, so it’s nice to be able to take your time with the menu.tiabetty blue’s does a great job with classic new mexican food, like their $4 breakfast burrito stuffed with eggs,
