Here's what makes this place a standout: Beautiful Store Ambiance: Draeger's is not just a grocery store; it's an experience. The store exudes elegance and charm, creating a pleasant atmosphere for shoppers. The presence of a florist adds a touch of beauty to the environment, making every visit a delight.

The opportunity to meet and learn from such influential figures adds an extra layer of excitement to the Draeger's experience. It's disheartening to hear about the potential changes to the building, but the prospect of a smaller version of the market on the first level provides some comfort. Draeger's Market has become a local culinary institution, and I hope the essence of this wonderful place continues in its new form. For now, I'll continue to savor the unique offerings that make Draeger's a true gem in San Mateo.”

“We each got a taco platter, so two tacos each--2 chicken, 1 lengua, and 1 al pastor... Tacos were more than decent--they exceeded my expectations. You see, I was led to believe we walked in to El Palenque, so I was excited until I discovered that we were actually somewhere that had only TWO stars, so I was a little nervous... Turns out the lengua was tender and flavorful, and the al pastor was very tasty! Fresh tomatillo salsa was VERY fresh, and the chips were also fresh and very tasty...rice was fluffy, and the beans were rich and well-seasoned...was a relief to see that it was actually pretty good!”

“Got a chance to checkout the sandwich shop while I was in the area. It is a delightful sandwich stop conveniently located within the grocery store. If you are in a rush this shop has a wide range of options, and it's a go-to for a quick and tasty sandwich. Fresh ingredients and flavorful combinations make their sandwiches a solid choice. The service is quick and the people there are extremely nice. If sandwiches don't appeal to you they have plenty of other options that look delicious. The sandwich itself isn't out of this world but gets the job done. It is extremely filling and quite nice. They also toast the sandwich if you would like. Overall I would recommend this place if you are in the area.”
