Azteca ceviche
Christopher C.

MAN this one has been on my radar for a minuteeeeeeeeee and to finally be able to try it and be very disappointed is an understatement. I arrived and saw the sign that says " wait to be seated " 15 minutes went by and not one person came to attend me until I was staring down a bartender so he could assist me and finally sat me down. I asked for a high chair and was never brought. I went and got it myself which is fine it is what it is It was bussy but not packed bussy the busiest table was already getting ready to leave and still no one attended me until again I had to go and grab a waiter to assist me which he was kind and calm so shoutout to him I ordered the guacamole with chips ( Waiter said there were no chips or salsa and I sent this back, I was expecting a vibrant citrusy fresh type of flavor and this was nothing related to that at all, no salt, no lime no flavor whatsoever) there's a smart an final down the store if I am an owner that shouldn't be an excuse. I should be ready for any and everything from opening to finish Carne asada taco with a side of rice and beans (meat was overcooked to the point it was crispy and not chewy. Beans and rice the beans had no salt or flavor again and the rice was coo) Azteca ceviche ( ceviche was good and spicy but nothing special ) Tacos el gobernador ( these were actually good and fire, I'd come back for these ) Agua de tamarindo (Watered down assuming they ran out) Y una agua mineral preparada (nothing crazy it was alright) Honestly I give it a 3/5 I will be coming back because there are other items I wanted to try but overall man this was not a good experience especially when they have hella bandas and grupos come and try the food!

Tortillas de harina
Anabel U.

From the first time we tried Agua Salada from its early days we knew this would be a staple for us in San Jose because you cant go wrong here. We came for Valentines Day weekend, and while we missed the live music we were able to still receive the complimentary champagne and a rose from the owner. I ordered the camarones pa la diabla, which was a good amount of shrimp, with rice and beans. I opted for the tortillas de harina, which also were very good. There were a few times the food tasted saltier than my preference, but it didnt ruin the dish. We also got the deconstructed sushi rolls, which were very good and fresh. Not pictured was my partners ceviche de jiba (crab) that actually had fresh crab (and not imitation). Prices are on par with other restaurants, and for the bay area. The owner came around and checked-in on tables around us too, which was a nice touch. The place has booth seating and tables, but it seems to have been busy so you may have a bit of a wait (but totally worth it).

Chavela , beer line and slat

We ordered the small portion (serves 2-3) for about 80 dollars . It's a great deal for 2-3 people The grilling was perfect , ambience in the restaurant was excellent and service was top notch They have a large seafood menu , the rest of which I am yet to try but I'm sure you won't be disappointed

Super Tacos de Asada (3) Agua De Horchata
Jaz A.

LOVEE this place!!!! The playlist was super good like all classics and the atmosphere was soooo good as well; very welcoming. Very fresh. The vibes are HERE. The lights and decor are also very nice as well as all the employees are very nice and welcoming The food is also the bomb!! I got tacos de asada and they were so good and super stuffed

The food was good. The sushi was okay, the ceviche azteca is really spicy, my favorite was ceviche de pescado (fish) à la sierra. The mocktails were just okay. I tried the pineapple paraíso. Went in on a Sunday, they had live mariachi. Vibes were through the roof; however I do think the place is too small to have live mariachi. It is extremely loud. (This is coming from someone who loves to blast music) The service was just okay as well.

Tacos Dorados De Camarón (Crispy Shrimp Tacos) (2)  Tacos surf and turf (3)

It's a great looking ambiance, tasty mocktails and delicious food. Server was very attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back to try more of their meals.

Raw not curtido warning.
Alondra A.

The sushi was bomb!! The vibe was cute, but would not recommend the ceviche or aguachile. It was entirely raw. I understand the concept of curtido, but the ceviche is straight crudo. Its a gummy texture. Sinaloa ceviche is crudo but not thaat crudo. Aguachile is usually on the greyer side because its supposed to tan quick but they cut the pieces so big that they wont ever tan(curtir) in the time you are in the restaurant. The ceviche should not be grey. They did not tan (curtir) it long enough. Ive had ceviche in multiple Mazatlán locations, it was never grey. When i let the waitress know, they said thats how they always are. So if you like your shrimp curtido dont come here because they are going to give it to you raw! Warning.

Randomly stopped by here on our way back to SF, and was so impressed by their seafood dishes! We ordered their torre Marisco (seafood tower), carne asada plate, and fish tacos. Seafood tower was generous with the raw shrimp and seafood. Carne Asada grilled to perfection. I didn't have the fish tacos but they are double the size of an avg taco and mainly filled with fish and not filler ingredients. Portions are massive across the board at reasonable prices. Highly recommend to scratch that ceviche or aguachile itch! Only mild complaint is that the music is a bit loud so hard for convos but part of the vibe.

Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo
Maricarmen C.

We were craving aguachile recently and stopped by this place to try it out. It is very nice inside with plenty of seating and clean bathrooms. We were immediately seated and provided with cold glasses for our water and chips and salsa. I loved that the glasses were already cold, I thought it was a nice touch that I hadn't seen before. We tried their aguachile verde and camarones al mojo de ajo. Although very delicious, I just wish that the aguachile was left in the lime juice longer before being brought out. The staff were all very attentive and helpful and service was quick. It is located in a shopping center with parking available.

Fajitas A La Mexicana
Pranathi B.

Our experience was not as good as the rest of the reviews. This is where Anejo was previously located. The ambiance infact seems similar to Anejo as well but apparently it's a brand new restaurant with new owners. *USP: slightly upscale Mexican cuisine. Lots of seafood based dishes. *Service: very attentive and friendly. We were served water and chips+salsa on the house as soon as we got seated. *Ambiance: lots of greenery, clean and pretty spacious. The blue fish shaped vases on the tables are pretty whimsical. *Food: this is where things fell flat for us. Lack of flavor and salt were a characteristic across all the dishes we ordered. Rice and beans were served in two of the dishes we got. The beans were cold and rice was crusty. Not sure if crusty rice was intentional but it tasted odd. The chicken fajitas were bland. The spicy Diabla shrimp was not as fiery or flavorful though it looked great. The chicken tacos were plain and simple with just chicken and onions, again lacking salt and flavor.

Ceviche De Camaron Con Mango
Nin J.

We ordered the ceviche de camarón con mango ($22), aguachile with green sauce ($20), tacos dorados de camarón ($22), and tacos de pulpo ($28) and for drinks the Agua Jamaica ($4). The seafood was fresh and flavorful overall. The ceviche unexpectedly included peaches, which worked but wasn't listed on the description of menu. The green sauce on the aguachile was bomb. The crispy shrimp tacos were tasty but overloaded with sauce and toppings, masking the shrimp's flavor. Salsas were solid, and service was friendly and attentive. The space is open and inviting. Only downside: I saw a staff member behind the bar lick sauce off his fingers while working, which was concerning, but we weren't there for the bar, although it did affect my overall impression. Also worth noting, this lunch meal for 3 was $115, including tip. Still, worth a visit for the food and vibe.

(SJ) Food: CEVICHE DE CAMARON COCIDO (CON MANGO EN SALSAS NEGRAS)(9.2/10) POACHED SHRIMP MARINATED IN BLACK SEAFOOD SAUCE, WITH CUCUMBER, TOMATO, SWEET ONION, MANGO, AND AVOCADO. Large portion size for a small. It was definitely filling. It has a hint of spice in the end. They were generous on the shrimp portion quantity where most restaurants lack on. Could have used more lime and a little salt. TACOS CAPEADO DE CAMARÓN (9.5/10) (BATTERED SHRIMP TACOS) TEMPURA-BATTERED SHRIMP IN CORN TORTILLAS WITH A CRISPY CHEESE SKIRT. HOUSE SLAW. AVOCADO, AND SMOKY CHIPOTLE SAUCE. Lots of flavor and shrimp was cooked properly. Plenty of texture and the acidity of the lime blends well with the ingredients. SUPER BAJA STYLE FISH TACOS(9.3/10) ENSENADA-INSPIRED BATTERED ALASKAN WHITE COD. SERVED IN WARM TORTILLAS WITH AVOCADO, CRISP CABBAGE, AND SMOKY CHIPOTLE SAUCE. Fish was perfectly crunchy. It's not soggy or falls apart too easily like for fried fish taco. Plenty of flavor. Both tacos also looked aesthetically pleasing. All the tortillas held well together despite all the ingredients Setting: great for small to large groups with a bar in the entrance. Clean. There was a mariachi playing the entire time and honestly was incredible. They played great music. Has television which played the 49ers game which is a plus Service: great service. All the staff were friendly and attentive. Checked up on us. Only thing is they messed up on our order. We ordered 3 shrimp tacos and 2 fish but got switched. But both were really delicious regardless. Price: price was worth it given the statements above. Will return for sure Parking: plenty of parking in the front

Aguachile De Camarón
Sammi H.

This spot is delicious! I've been twice in one month already hehehe. I was most excited to try the aguachile and it did not disappoint. Aguachile (10/10) - Good portion size to share or a feast for one. Super Baja style tacos (8/10) - Absolutely loaded and dressed. Good but it got messy. Grilled octopus tacos (10/10) - I love octopus so these were yummy! Service was great! Both times the servers were friendly and attentive. They opened recently so it was very clean too.

Their daily HH, aka Aloha Hour, offers one of the best values I've seen in years. We're taking $9 cocktails, $10 ceviche, and $7 tacos.

Ordered fish tacos with salsa on the side but actual order came with fish on top of the salsa and slaw. Disappointed but didn't comment about that since I didn't notice until I'd already taken a bite of each taco. Wished it had been served on the side as it made the tacos soggy and a little spicier than I would have liked. Fried Baja fish tacos had batter similar to fish and chips batter. Wished it was a lighter batter to make it easier on the stomach. It was hard to eat the corn tortilla on both tacos because the salsa was on the bottom of the fish versus being on top of the fish. Accompanying salad was dressed just right with the vinaigrette I requested. Black beans were nicely seasoned. Ordered a nojito which was not very flavorful. Thought it would be mintier, citrusy mocktail but honestly it just tasted like ginger ale with two quartered limes and sprigs of mint. Not worth the $6 I paid for it. Very disappointing.. Would have been better off saving that money spent to buy a pint of ice cream from a local retailer. Don't think I'll go out of my way to return unless I'm sure that my order will be more aligned to my order and if I'm in the neighborhood..

Everything--truly everything--was delicious. Trent took great care of us and offered spot-on recommendations. We shared the chowder, cornbread, hamachi, salmon, and kampachi. The presentation was beautiful, the service impeccable, and the food absolutely off the charts--fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully prepared. With just five small plates, we felt like we traveled the culinary world, hitting some of our favorite flavors from Thailand, Mexico, and Japan. We weren't sure how the Irish chowder and cornbread would fit alongside the raw bar selections, but it all came together seamlessly.

The restaurant is located in downtown Campbell and there's plenty of street and garage parking. The restaurant itself had very simple, clean, and modern feel and was very intimate. The menu changes daily based on what's available, and we had the choice to do family sharing style ($125/person) or al la carte. Since the menu wasn't super extensive, we decided to give family style a try so we didn't have to think about what to order and how much to order. The family sharing style came with 4 raw dishes, 4 starter/appetizer dishes, 3 main dishes, and 1 dessert. For our raw dishes round, I really enjoyed the salmon (with some type of chili oil), and the scallops with Chinese sausage. For the appetizer round, I really enjoyed the clam (although a bit small) and the potato chip with caviar (very creamy and flavorful). As for the main, I really enjoyed the cornbread although would say the ikura gets a bit covered up by the creamy sauce (although still incredibly delicious). We also got a short rib but I found it to be a bit heavy in the sauce and on the saltier side. The dessert was a chocolate peanut bar that felt like a very elevated snickers bar. Overall, food is pretty good even though on the pricier side and the service is excellent. This is definitely more of a special occasion kind of restaurant!

They were generous with the tarter sauce and vinegar, which I appreciated, but I personally didn't love the taste of the tarter sauce. It had maybe carrots or something in it and I wish it were more tangy. It gets the job done but I might make my own next time. I also got a cup of clam chowder. It was tasty but being from SF I've had much better chowder elsewhere. I would skip this next time. The stand out here was the service I got from Javi. He took my phone order and was polite and courteous without "doing too much." He was the one to also ring me up and hand me my order and he was, again, chill but also super nice. He did a great job. It would be unfair to not share the low point of my experience, even though I hate putting people on blast. While I was picking up my order, there were two female employees standing behind Javi behind the register. One of the ladies was braiding the other ones hair. In food service it's really important not to touch your hair - you should be ready to work before you arrive, or head to the bathroom to take care of any grooming. In the moment I just tried to shrug it off but then the lady braiding the hair sprayed some kind of hair product to finish things off, and I later realized my food was sitting on the counter right next to them. It really disturbed me how they didn't see their behavior as inappropriate and it didn't bother them at all that I was being rung up while they were doing this. I'm a little torn about whether or not I would return. Again, the service from Javi was great and the fish and chips were definitely good - no complaints there. However I didn't love everything I got with my meal and I'm not sure how seriously they take cleanliness given the employees doing their hair in the front.
