    A taco I made from their yummy carnitas
    Betty N.

    One of the queens needs to relocate to San Jose! I got the nacho fries with half carnitas and half asada. I enjoyed it with the steak better, but the carnitas was super bomb too. I took it out and made a couple of fire ass tacos later for dinner. They give you a good amount of food and their green sauce needs to be bottled and sold. The steak was seasoned so well, I was giving up hope for Mexican taquerias that don't marinate or season their meat enough. I'm not sure what is going on, but some places are really turning down on the flavor. Staff here were super nice and the place was clean. I was really tempted to get a churro from the other vendor in this location, but I can't eat too much fried food in one sitting. I'm not a spring chicken anymore, just a hefty hen lol.

    Carnitas  and a jalapeño & Cheese tamale
    ken t.

    I stopped by today for lunch. Hollister had more than its fair share of Mexican restaurants/ taquerias so it has taken me a while to try this one. The server told me they expanded their menu so they have more than just carnitas, such as chile verde and "Steak". Not on the menu were Tamales. I decided to try the tamales. I chose a Jalapeño & cheese and a carnitas tamale. They came with both a green and a red sauce. I put the green sauce on the jalapeño and the red in the carnitas. I enjoyed both, but I like the carnitas one the best. The masa was thin and light and meat very moist. They are remodeling so I will not comment on the ambiance at this time

    1LB carnitas

    Walked in and ordered their 1LB pork carnitas and their large tray of rice. They had it ready and packed in about 5 minutes. The pork was on the saltier side, but quite tender. There was a combination of meat and fat, but it was very close to 1 pound. Their rice was pleasantly fluffy and well seasoned. I think listing 32oz "tray" is a little deceiving. I would return since both items lasted me a few meals. Hopefully the carnitas is less salty the next time around.

    CARNITAS TACO

    Tried this place out yesterday and my husband loved it! Couldn't even wait to get home lol. He got carnitas tacos and chicharron. The tacos were a good size and they even gave us a side of guac with the chicharron. We will definitely be going back!

    Carnitas nachos, carnitas rice bowl
    Juanna F.

    Got the carnitas nachos and carnitas rice bowl with my boyfriend and the portions are nice and filling for the price. The carnitas were yummy, soft, and tender, tasted similar to carnitas served at other places. The toppings are generous. The bowl got a bit watery at the end, probably from the pico de gallo. I used the bathroom and there was no soap and when I told the worker, they just said okay. It made me wonder what their sanitation practices are there. They had hand sanitizer but only at the counter. Food is decent, but cleanliness is questionable.

    Wow!! If i can give this place a 6 stars, i would! We picked this place on yelp to get a quick bite to eat before heading to a friend's wedding reception. OMG!!! One of the best!!!! Let me tell you....I love their menu... pretty str8tforward..... They have tacos, , quesadilla , burrito... they have carnitas or a healthier option, Veggie! The carnitas tacos was prolly one of the best i've had! Hubby said the Veggie Burrito was on point! Nachos was delish!! We will def order these again and try the other stuff on their menu. Now... for the drinks!! I HIGHLY recommend the strawberry watermelon fresca... soooo refreshing!

It's fine. My Spanish is not the greatest... but, I managed to stop in and order by pointing at some menu items they have listed. Ultimately, it all worked out. Managed to get an order in for carne asada fries and a round of tacos too. While the tacos were nothing to write home about--the carne asada fries on the other hand, were spectacular! The portion is huge and the flavors of all the ingredients are truly amazing. I don't want to sound corny, but each bite was like a friggin' fiesta in my mouth. Almost as good as the stuff I used to get close to the border when I lived in SoCal. Close. This place is a total hole in the wall, but definitely a great local find. Great service, amazing food variety and a good bang for your buck. Looking forward to stopping and trying their other offerings soon.

    The food here is genuinely great, the chilaquiles are especially good and absolutely worth trying…read more Everything we ate was flavorful and well prepared. That said, the service is chaotic. The staff is very kind and clearly working hard, but the system itself feels completely unorganized. It honestly feels like everyone is on their first day at the same time. Tables don't seem to be divided in a logical way. Instead of one server handling inside and another the patio, servers are running back and forth between both areas, which slows everything down. During our visit, we ordered drinks with one person, placed our food order with who I think was our actual waitress, had our food delivered by someone from the kitchen who wasn't sure which table it belonged to, got refills from someone who may have been the manager or owner, and didn't see our waitress again until we had to go ask for the check ourselves. Kitchen staff were walking out with dishes asking around to find the right table, which added to the confusion. Everyone is friendly and clearly trying their best, but the lack of organization makes the experience inefficient and a bit stressful as a customer. I would still recommend Buenos Días Cafecito if you have time and patience that day. The food really is that good, just don't come in a rush or expecting smooth service.
