Do you trust Yelp?

[Aharami]

Not at all. I have a photography side business. I was getting a healthy bit of clients from yelp (or at least they attributed yelp in finding me). Then one day Yelp reached out to me asking if I want to advertise with them. I didn't feel the need to as I have enough business already. So I declined. And since then, my yelp clients have dropped off considerably.

I don't know if it's Yelp filtering out bad reviews or people just like bad food but last year I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area from LA. Use Yelp to help me find decent Mexican places in the Bay Area but all the places I've been to with good Yelp reviews all suck. Or maybe Mexican food in the Bay Area just in general sucks.

I don't really use Yelp. I just look at Google reviews. But it doesn't take a wise man to know that anything posted to the Internet should be taken with a large grain of salt.

I don't take the reviews very seriously, but it's very handy for location, hours, menu, contact info, etc.

That's it.

I think your best bets are in Oakland or south of SF, like in San Jose or Palo Alto, maybe San Carlos.
