Sushilito Boy

Sushilito Boy is a Fusion restaurant in San Mateo, California.

Sushilito Boy takes sushi in a playful Mexican-inspired direction, with substantial rolls that bring seafood, meat, cheese, and chiles together. The San Mateo menu includes fried combinations with shrimp, octopus, bacon, and cream cheese, while the Tropical roll pairs shrimp and crab with mango, cucumber, and avocado. We like the contrast between these generous, savory combinations and the fruitier options. There is plenty to explore beyond rolls. Shrimp ceviche tostadas, mixed seafood tostadas, and shrimp or octopus cocktails give mariscos a prominent place on the menu. Bacon-wrapped yellow chiles stuffed with shrimp and cheese offer another way to start, and fried calamari comes with chipotle sauce. For diners curious about Mexican-style sushi on El Camino Real, Sushilito Boy's appeal is the variety of textures and combinations across its sushi and seafood selections.
