Very authentic place with Mexican food. If you don’t like spice food, they have nonspicy dishes. Big portions and good price tag. There are tables inside and outside. Good for big companies 7+. And don’t miss their Churros Sundae dessert.

Good food. As you can see from the picture, fried avocado was delish. Maybe next time i should take a picture before i start eating Price seemed high for Mexican food but you get good portions. Sorry if you are dairy intolerant their dishes seem to have a lot of cheese.

I had nver been here before but always heard good things. I got a chimichanga with chile verde. This is the best chile verde I’ve had. My mouth was delighted. The chimichanga was also fried to perfection. I loved it. I would definitely come again to try more things.

The food was good, but not the best I’ve had. In comparing it to other mexican restaurants and being Mexican myself, I’m a tough critic. The menu was large, and the atmosphere was comfortable. The waiter was a very cordial, nice guy, and ensured we had everything we needed.

get the chicken mole. best I’ve ever had. goes down great with a fishbowl sized glass of Modelo especial. they know how to clean their keg lines so no worries there. not the cheapest Mexican food out there but well worth a few extra dollars.

5 of us tried this place for the first time on a recommendation from a co-worker. It was really busy for a Wednesday dinner time. Waitress was nice, funny and spoke mostly Spanish to us. We waited almost an hour for food, but were given chips and salsa as we waited. Decor was nice too. Food came, rice and beans good all around. Burritos filled with beans and meat were good. Crispy taco came with chicken, I asked for beef. Both tacos were greasy. 1 bite of chicken taco, meat was dry. A fixed beef taco finally arrived but meat had weird taste to it. It did not look like shredded beef or ground beef to me. I did not eat the tacos. We did get table side quacamole made so fresh and quite tasty. I just wish the avocados were cold. Also wish that for about 12 dollars… wish they had used more than 2 avocados for 5 people.

First time here and we really enjoyed it. Table side fresh guacamole was excellent. Margaritas were very good to but a little to big for me. Next time I will order a smaller one. Our dinner came out hot and delicious. I had 2 beef enchiladas with rice and beans but was only able to finish one. Definitely give you a lot of food. Staff was very friendly and made sure our needs were met. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to family and friends. There was also live music outside

Myself and a friend recently had lunch here and the food was very good plus the strawberry margarita was perfect. Loved sitting outside on the patio plus I was allowed to have my dog with us during lunch. That’s extra extra points especially when I’m socializing her and she was very well behaved. All the staff was friendly and food was served in an appropriate time and enjoyed the atmosphere. Definitely will be returning!

Who makes an enchilada without any sauce? Pathetic experience and the service is terrible and worst. We recently moved to San Jose and this place is situated right across our home so we decided to try. It turned out to be the worst experience, we liked tamale and that is why I am rating them one star. When we ordered enchiladas, the server asked us what sauce to make it with, red or green to which we said red but when they served, it had no sauce. We asked her and she was rude to tell us that this is what you get when you order veggie enchiladas. Our server didn’t understand English and had no patience while we were looking at the menu, we have been to many places where server would help you pick something if you are visiting for the first time, however this place doesn’t care. Please avoid this place.
