  If you came to drink, this is the place to go. Beers flow, and the drinks are nice and strong. I'm a dark beer and Jack n Coke kind of guy.

  Yikes. I've never been here but had to look up where it was because apparently two people were shot to death here in April. It's close to my office, but I don't think I will be stopping by anytime soon.

  This place is the quintessential neighborhood taco joint/neighborhood bar.  It doesn't bet more "local" in flavor than this.
  
  I used to go here frequently in the late 90s when I worked at Excite@Home. I ventured back today as I'm now working in Redwood City....and the place has not changed a bit!
  
  The left side of Headquarters is a crusty, old sports bar that shows the soccer matches from the satellite dish.  The beer looked cheap.  The bar actually had a few locals in there at noon sipping away.  The left side is a tacqueria serving the traditional Mexican food.  
  
  The food is decent...but nothing to 4 star on Yelp about.  The big win is the mix of people during the lunch rush.  Headquarters serves the local industrial population working at the machine and door/window shops in the area...along with the pleated pant and security badge types who occupy the cubes in the converted old warehouses that now house high-tech companies.  It's fun to watch the facial expressions as these two demographics work together in their quest for cheap lunch time Mexican food.  
  
  For those tracking Valley lore, Headquarters may have been the location of many lunch time discussions by the innovative AMPEX team.  Who knows, the early VCR may have been invented on a cocktail napkin here!
  
  If you are in the Redwood City area, check this place out.
