The most authentic Mexican food I’ve had in San Jose. Feels like I’m eating in grandmas kitchen.

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.

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.

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 View menu

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!

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 ???
