3.5 star. We had an…read moreimpromptu visit because someone had a craving of empanadas on a Saturday morning. I thought it would be hard to search Mexican restaurants one by one to pick out the ones that serve empanadas; I was wrong. One easy search and BAE pops up. I was very happy to arrive at a private parking lot instead of looking for street parking or desperately searching for a parking structure. BAE is clean, organized, and neat; the interior is more like a cafe than a messy mom-and-pop restaurant. The empanadas are clearly displayed on the cashier's side, each with a label underneath. There are corners decorated for selfies or simply a good mood cheering. Overall, it's visually appealing. We ordered the Chicken and Mushroom, Potato Egg and Cheese, and Bacon Egg and Cheese. The cashier was polite and offered us some sauce choices. They are $0.5 each. We chose Tsatziki which has Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil and dill. It wasn't our cup of tea. We chose take out and each empanada was nicely warmed, wrapped and clearly labeled in each paper. The empanadas I would rate them in this order: potato egg and cheese, chicken mushroom, bacon egg and cheese. The Potato Egg and Cheese has diced onions inside, but it's soft and warm, very balanced in flavor and texture. Top notch comfort food. The Chicken and Mushroom filling was creamier than I thought. I was not expecting a white cream cheese element in it, nevertheless, chunky chicken and mushroom slices are solid. I was most disappointed at Bacon Egg and Cheese. It was too salty and the egg looked and tasted like those overcooked dry breakfast eggs from Comfort Inn breakfast where it came out from some kind of liquid egg box. In summary, location, service, interior 4 star; food 3.5 stars.

I'm giving Big E Cafe three stars mainly because they are CONSTANTLY sold out of the sausage and…read moreegg empanadas. This isn't just a one-time thing--almost every time I come here, they're gone. I usually get there about 11am. Big E is much closer to my house than their sister cafe, BAE, which is why I keep trying to come here instead. But if the sausage and egg empanadas are selling out this consistently, they're clearly one of the more popular items. You would think they'd adjust and stock more of them rather than repeatedly running out. I usually end up driving to BAE anyway, where they actually have them in stock and, in my experience, the presentation is better too. I'd much rather support the location closest to me, but it's frustrating to keep making the trip only to find the same popular item sold out again. Hopefully they start stocking according to demand.

We ordered a custom cake for our daughter's second birthday. Since we didn't want to restrict our…read morelittle two-year-old from enjoying her own birthday cake, we chose this bakery because they use simple, wholesome, high-quality ingredients. When I placed the order, I mentioned that my daughter absolutely loves cats and said it would be wonderful if they happened to have any cat-themed decorations, although the bakery didn't promise that they would. They were very thoughtful and patient in communicating all the details with me. When I picked up the cake, I was genuinely amazed--it was even cuter than I had imagined! And sure enough, my daughter was SO happy to have a delicious kitty cake for her birthday. Seeing how excited she was made the cake even more special. You can really feel how much care and love they put into what they do. We had such a wonderful experience and highly recommend this bakery!

Went to Clover Bakery around noon and the store is on the smaller side so it was a little crowded…read morebut line moves fast. Vanilla donut (3/5): Donut was soft but the vanilla pudding filling tasted a bit artificial Mushroom and burdock bun (3/5): Bun was dense and cold and I think it would taste better warmed up. The filling itself could have been seasoned more, there was a lot of the sesame flavor which made the bun taste bitter Fried chow mein bun (3.5/5): Similar to the mushroom bun but with a fried exterior. I liked the concept but wished it was warmed up. The chow mein itself could have been more flavorful Ham & veggie sandwich (5/5): Friend ordered this and said this was her favorite item! Bread was soft and good amount of condiments and vegetables that were well seasoned. She said this was good value Spicy tuna sandwich (4/5): Friend ordered this and she liked it but it was a bit too spicy for her liking Strawberry cream sandwich (3/5): This item is exactly what you imagine it would taste like, nothing too special. The bread was soft and there was a generous amount of cream but compared to the other items, this was just average Overall, the baked goods were average but my friend really enjoyed her sandwiches. Would give Clover a 3.5 as a vegetarian, rounding up to 4 since I would come back to try other items.

Altogether if you are in the area, the service is good but the food is alright!

They're serve classic American breakfast dishes but also very delicious Mexican breakfast. Everyone at the table really enjoyed their dish and most plates were clean/empty. The only thing I was t super impressed with was the empanadas, the guava/cream filling was very good but the pastry itself was dry. I had the potato/chorizo dorado tacos. It was with rice and beans which were both very good and flavorful. The tacos came fully dressed with cheese and crema. Also inside a Molcajete drowning in delicious salsa. I will say they really didn't put that much chorizo but still good. The cafe de olla was phenomenal! Can't wait to come back!

Looking back, I think it's time to give credit where credit is due. These days, I regularly order the Havasu Salad with salmon, and it's fantastic. The portion is enormous, the ingredients are fresh, and it's one of the few salads that actually feels like a complete meal. The salmon pairs perfectly with it, and I always leave full and happy. One order mistake from 16 years ago shouldn't outweigh years of consistently good food. If you're a salad lover, definitely give the Havasu Salad a try.

This was an unexpected lunch outing at Rio Adobe Southwest Cafe after a quick trip to Kaiser. My…read morefriend Will was craving Mexican, and we landed here. With over 900 reviews, I had high hopes--and I'm glad to say my meal delivered. Food (4.5 stars) + The two-taco combo (about $13) was a win for me. I chose carnitas and adobada (that saucy red mole-like one!). The adobada was rich, flavorful, and unique, while the carnitas, although a bit dry, had a nice smokiness. The sweet bite of the onions really balanced the tacos--maybe a touch more cilantro and onions next time. + Kat's carnitas burrito was bright red and juicy (I found it perfect, even if she thought it was a tad dry). I think they put some similar yummy sauce as the adobada. Generous portion, meaty, and delicious. + Will's carne asada quesadillas were cheesy and tender. He found them bland, but I thought they were fine. Plus, the generous guac portion (even if it needed a squeeze of lime) was a nice touch. + The salsa bar deserves a shout-out. Mixing the spicy corn-bean blend with hot salsa and pico de gallo? That's a flavor bomb right there. - Carne asada nachos, while generous, fell flat. There was also quite a generous portion of guacamole along with sour cream. My only complaint is the meat lacked that smokiness or char of most asadas. It felt bland--almost taste boiled. I took the meat home to doctor it up! Service/Ambiance (4 stars) + I put this under service because I'm a fan of the unexpected and getting chips with our meal was a nice touch. Bonus Star! ~ You order at the counter, grab your own drinks. Staff were minimal but efficient enough for what it was. It's casual--not full service, but they get the job done. ~ Ambiance is simple--nothing fancy. You've got a salsa bar, a drink station, and it's very much a "grab a table" kind of place. Overall, for a quick, affordable sit-down Mexican spot, it hit the spot for me. My friends rated it 3.5 stars, but I loved it. I'd come back for the carnitas burrito and salsa bar alone!

I ordered the beef with onion and the lamb with onion dumplings and on a whim the beef huoshao. First of the soup dumplings are so super delicious! Little pillows of tasty meat in a soft wrapper that explode with flavor as soon as you bite into them! The Beef Huoshao was absolutely wonderfully delicious! It can 9th be described as a Chinese hamburger. A patty of seasoned beef covered by a rich flaky crust! I could eat a thousand of these, well maybe not a thousand but definitely a lot of them! You gotta try the Beef Huoshao and the dumplings here. So delicious!, The ambiance of the restaurant is very casual. Love this place and will be back soon!

Tastes like comfort. This is what you're going to get when you dine at Fuji Huoshao & Dumpling…read more The Beef Huoshao was phenomenal. The beef patty was juicy. The skin was crispy and chewy. 100% should order this. The Lamb Noodle Soup had a deep lamb flavor that probably took the restaurant years to perfect. I wanted to drink up every last drop of the soup. One downside was that I felt super dehydrated after the meal and I think it was because the soup had a lot of salt. We also ordered the Three Deluxe Dumplings. The inside of the dumpling was juicy while the skin had a nice chewy texture. I don't normally enjoy the thicker skin dumplings but these were good despite being thicker skin. We also ordered the Pig Ears as an appetizer. They were okay. The seasoning was not over-powering, but the actual pig ears were not that crunchy. Would probably skip this dish next time.

A new favorite in downtown Sunnyvale!…read more I travel to the area for work and have visited downtown Sunnyvale a few times, but somehow, I'd never made it to Mayak Kitchen. I'm so glad I finally did! I grabbed a seat outside, and my server was over very quickly. Even though they were closing in about 45 minutes, I never once felt rushed or like I was an inconvenience. (Honestly, had I known they were closing that soon, I probably would have chosen somewhere else because I know how frustrating that can be for a restaurant!) The service was welcoming, and I really appreciated that. A carafe of water with fresh lemon and mint was brought to the table, which was a lovely touch. And after a long day of flying across the country, I decided to treat myself to a Jamaica margarita. No regrets there! not overly sweet like margaritas tend to be. For dinner, I went with the cochinita pibil, and WOW. I've had a version of this dish back home at one of the few authentic Mexican restaurants in the Cleveland area, but this was a completely different experience. Of course, different regions bring their own flavors and preparations, and this was a delicious reminder of that. The pork was incredibly flavorful and so tender, and the rice was packed with flavor in a way that complemented the pork perfectly rather than competing with it. Every part of the dish worked together beautifully. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying several other things on the menu that caught my attention. Mayak Kitchen definitely made a great first impression, and I'm happy I finally gave it a try! If you're in downtown Sunnyvale and looking for somewhere new to eat, put this one on your list!

I ordered it because of fellow yelper said it wasn't as heavy as others and they didn't like masa so I got a tamale. omg! this tamalia is fantastic. it's the lightest masa I've ever had and I've lived in Mexico. I don't know how they do it. very delicious! if you even kind of like tamales order one of these off the appetizer menu it's a go-to. I got the chicken one and I put a little green salsa on it and it's heaven show. then I got the pachucho, one pavel and one steak. it's the second paville I've had on my trip here and what made this one. fantastic is the base of this is what pabile needs and they hit everything right with the case of fresco the onions. it could have used a few more onions, but every bite was like heaven. The steak was delish, very tender but I'm going to go back to the pibil every time. the base of these panchcos is kind of new to me. I don't know that it's Mayan Mexican or maybe El Salvadorian or maybe a creation of their own. they're delish. I received a small little container of green sauce and it was delicious as well
