You absolutely have to try this place if you're looking for genuinely excellent Mexican cuisine! I was in the area with some colleagues, and we were in search of great, authentic Mexican food. After doing a bit of research, we found this gem. The menu is diverse, the prices are reasonable, and the customer service is fantastic. You can really feel the passion and dedication from the family and staff, which made for an overall delightful experience! Definitely give it a visit!

The waitress recommended shrimp tacos because they didn't have fish when I started eating the shrimp it was cooked in Manteca I could taste it on my palate ?? The tortilla began to fall apart, it was wet from the vegetables and the worst thing was they put American cheese on the lettuce instead of Mexican, the quality is terrible for the price they ask. What a waste of money and time ???
A friend took me to this restaurant for the first time, and I had the beef soup. It was absolutely delicious, and the portion size was generous. They also serve homemade tortillas, which were a great addition. I will definitely return and highly recommend this place!
Horrible customer service after coming here as a guest multiple times. Ended up talking to the owner who was unprofessional and didn't even offer any accommodation. I never received my food or a refund. Do not Book a table now
The food was delicious. Prices were somewhat high, but that's to be expected these days. Even though we visited during a hectic lunch hour, the service was excellent, and the staff was very cheerful.
The food is always great, but it's such a small place that it gets pretty crowded. Parking can also be a challenge to find.
Made me sick. Diner beware.Ordinary mole plate. Good tortillas. Pricy for what it is. $20 entrees.
The most authentic Mexican food I’ve had in San Jose. Feels like I’m eating in grandmas kitchen. Book a table now
Parking: Our first time here! It was delicious ? Kid-friendliness: Great service, ??
Very surprised that this little place got busier than what it looks like

"I came here for lunch today as I was working at the convention center for an event. I had the Peggy sue burger. The most basic burger with Swiss cheese. It was pretty damn good! It's basically a dive bar but in a burger joint version. I would definitely come back. Great customer service. They told me where all the condiments were. I went to the bathroom.... Not that clean but not that dirty. Expected from the type of place this is."
