The karaoke system they had is mostly for Mandarin songs. We were told if we want to sing English songs to use YouTube. We were fine with that. Although it would have been nice to have English songs from an actual karaoke system than YouTube as you can do YouTube anywhere, just need a speaker system. But my friend and I still had fun. We were able to sing some BTS songs and 90s music! Overall, we had a blast singing for an hour. We didn't get a chance to try any drinks or foods. Next time! I also want to try some Mandarin songs next time. My friend didn't know Mandarin, so I didn't want to do Mandarin songs since she didn't understand, only sang English songs with her. Overall, I had a fun night! There is a 18% cleaning fee that is mandatory. No happy hour. The room is very clean. No disco ball.

I have tried several items such as street tacos, quesabirria tacos, burritos, Barbacoa (soup) and menudo (soup). My favorites are the weekend red menudo which has no hominy, but wish it did and the burrito (in both sizes). Menudo is one of the best in the area (I shouldn't say that too loud, but it's true). It's not watered down like other restaurants, it's full bodied and meats (tripe and pata) are soft. I do wish we had an option of hominy that we can request. Burrito have been filling as I have tried several meats. It's heavy to the hand and filling to anyone's belly. Sometimes I enjoy for 2 mini meals in a day. Quesa birria tacos are the third favorite. Cheesy, crispy and greasy in the best way. Consume is flavorful too. The least favorites are the barbacoa (soup) as itwas mostly broth and minimal shreds of beef, if any. The tacos are enjoyed by family, but there is an abundance of a taste or flavor I don't prefer. I maybe wrong but I think it's oregano (but again not 100%). The third not so fav are the regular nachos with just cheese and jalepeno. Also, a negative is that 2 orders were missing items. So check your bags to make sure. So thats not a good feeling when that part of someone's order but recourse is to drive back or let third party know to get a few dollars off. We prefer to receive order and enjoy. Not to follow up with a drive back or a complaint of an item shortage to get refunded a few bucks. Otherwise the staff inside are very nice and understanding. The menudo and burrito are favorited of mine. I will follow up and order other dishes or appetizers, along with the weekend red menudo.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Casa Azteca. They truly made my anniversary a very memorable experience. I read the reviews on Yelp and decided to recommend to my love that we come here for something to eat before we went to the movies on our anniversary. We were just expecting good food, but what we got was so much more! The atmosphere was beautiful and we were greeted at the front door by a kind hostess who seated us and took my coat. We had two waiters who immediately brought us menus, chips, salsa, ice water and asked if we'd like to order any drinks to start. We ordered drinks (lemonade and dr. pepper) and they were brought within 2 minutes. The waiters then gave us time to decide what we wanted to order as a main course. We were seated right by two big screen TVs. I ordered the fajita dinner with the tortilla soup to start. My love ordered the enchilada and tostada dinner with a salad to start. Our salad and soup were brought to us within 5 minutes. My love said the salad tasted so fresh and crisp that it was as if they washed each piece of lettuce in the salad individually, I tasted the salad and it was great. My tortilla soup was THE BOMB! The flavors blew me away (yes, he was devouring my soup too). The soup also came with sour cream and 1/4 of an avocado diced up. Then our dinner plates came. They were huge, full of food, very generous sides (guacamole, cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo) and refriend beans with cheese and spanish rice. The platter with the filling for my fajitas (steak, bell peppers and onions) was sizzling and when I made the first fajita, it was delicious. We shared each other's food, letting one another taste what we had ordered, finding we were also please with each other's meals. To top it all off, we came on a Friday night when they have a live band. Two kind gentlemen came to our table and asked if we would like to pick a song for them to sing to us. When we told them it was our anniversary, they became excited and sang a song called "The Two of Us" in Spanish. He told us the last line was "and we walk off into the sunset together". Then they sang us another song. As they sang, we smiled and gazed into each other's eyes, falling in love all over again. It was so romantic. Best of all, we got this romantic evening with great food, great service and a great atmosphere for only $30.53. I give Casa Azteca 5 stars. Service = 5 stars Food = 5 stars Live Band = 5 stars Atmosphere = 5 stars Come here, you won't regret it!!! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Mexican restaurant and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. To start, I ordered the guacamole and chips which was freshly made and bursting with flavor. For my entree, I opted for the enchiladas with green sauce and I was blown away by the rich, tangy flavor of the sauce and the tender, juicy chicken inside. The portion sizes were generous and I left feeling happily satisfied. What really stood out to me though was the exceptional service. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made for a truly enjoyable dining experience. The restaurant also had a great selection of tequilas and margaritas, which I plan on trying on my next visit. Overall, I highly recommend this Mexican restaurant for anyone looking for delicious, authentic cuisine and top-notch service. read more

I'm a sucker for the old neighborhood mexican restaurants. This one is a winner. The decor is what I would imagine from a 1960's mexican restaurant in Vegas. The staff is very friendly. The manager, Harry, is an exceptionally friendly and accomadating guy with a knack for good service. He also owns a restaurant in his home country of Tibet... or something along those lines. The food is very tasty. Salsa is very spicy. Soups are good, housemade. Enchiladas were great, well seasoned. Walked out paying $25 with a tip. I can't wait to go back for margaritas one night. ____________________________________________________ Update So I have returned here for a few lunches and have loved it every time. I would bump it up to 5 star status, but the ambiance is slighty lacking and the service, while extremely friendly, can be a little sluggish. But this is a great GREAT neighborhood Mexican spot. read more

Stopped off here at the restaurant for some of my favorite food, ... usually my favorite, that is. Gus took care of our table, and did a good job of it. The food was a bit scantily clad, if you know what I mean. The cheese was... almost none, instead of all over the top. The base of the Chile Relleno was stiff, - more like fresh pizza bottom crust and the food had no seasoning at all. Bland. Could hardly taste the sauce-gravy that was poured over the top. The mashed Pinto beans were more of the same. It came with a side of lettuce salad. Unremarkable. The rice was good, however. Kind of disappointing, overall. I know they can do a lot better than that. A bit pricey, too. read more

I recently stopped by and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The steak burrito was absolutely delicious perfectly seasoned and packed with high-quality, tender meat and it paired perfectly with their Cadillac margarita, which was smooth and refreshing. What really stood out was the service. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive.

I visited Casa Azteca with some friends on a Saturday night, and it turned out to be a great experience! Our server was not only friendly but also had a great sense of humor, which added a fun element to our night. The fact that they provided complimentary chips and salsa was a nice touch. What's even better is that they kindly refilled it for us, even though they were close to closing time. Despite being the last party in the restaurant, we never felt rushed to leave, which made the night enjoyable. For the drinks, we tried a variety of them, and my personal favorite was the mango mojito. I'm definitely looking forward to returning to try their food next time! read more

A couple of us were there, she got a couple of enchiladas with rice and beans, and seemed to enjoy them, while I had a couple of Chiles Rellenos with rice and beans. I liked my food but it was different from what I was expecting, and a little bland for my taste. Of course I had eaten some of it already, and so it was sort of too late to do much about it. I'd like to know what the "gravy / sauce" is made of. It was also just about flavorless. We shared in eating the tortilla chips and good red salsa dip until the food arrived. The salsa was not hot; just enough hot to bite a bit. Gus served us, and was attentive most of the time. read more

I cannot in good conscience recommend this restaurant to anyone. My recent experience was nothing short of appalling.

Me gusta!! Everytime I go, I get great service (thanks Gustavo) and food. The salsa that comes out at the beginning is spicy, which is a nice treat from the usually so-so bland stuff you get alot. The portions of food are very generous. One small chicken quesadilla is a meal of itself (it's on the appetizer menu). The meat is never over cooked and dried out and it has good flavor. One thing though, they do like their cheese, so you might want to tell them to go easy on it. Always a pleasure to go here. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. We were promply greeted and seated with the standard chips and salsa. But the salsa was great! Hardly ever do you find good spicy salsa.

Well, the food continues to be some of the best Mexican food you'll find anywhere in the South Bay. My only issue here is value. Portions are rather small for a $25-30 per entree with rice and beans. The Birria and Pescado Al Mojo de Ajo were absolutely delicious -- flavorful, very tender, and cooked to perfection. The tortillas were served hot and fresh, too. Complimentary chips and three different types of salsa were a plus. Service was attentive, yet not too intrusive. They have several TVs showing various sporting events. (This location has had four or five different sports bars over the past 10 years. They all failed.) The vibe is nice, but still doesn't justify the price, but all in all, still doesn't justify the cost. Plenty of parking in this old business complex next to ECHO Church. I sincerely hope that Los Garcias finally breaks the jinx. If anyone can do it, Los Garcias will.

[[ Food ]] Good goly the food is so good here. Not only does the food taste good but around $3.89 for a well portioned regular taco is a steal. Not to mention their green sauce, red sauce, and chipotle sauce were just the right flavor to add to your tacos. We got the following: 1.) Flautas Plate = The rice and beans that come with this is superb 2.) 2x Lengua Taco = My favorite taco that we ordered 3.) 2x Birria Taco 4.) Chorizo Taco 5.) Carnitas Taco [[ Conclusion ]] I'm definitely going to go back as now I have a go-to Taco place in Milpitas.

Unfortunately, my experience here was disappointing. We were there for about an hour, and the…read morerestaurant was empty during our visit. Despite that, our food took quite a while to arrive. Food: Camarones a la Diabla -- The food was very oily, the sauce was too salty, and there was even a dry ball of rice on the plate. The beans and salad were good, but the overall dish was not enjoyable. Quesibirrias -- The consomé had a significant amount of oil, the tortillas were dry with hard edges, and the meat was very oily. Tacos de Asada -- Unfortunately, the meat had a lot of fat and was dry and overly roasted. The tortillas were also cold. Customer Service: This was another disappointing part of the experience. When we walked in, we had to seat ourselves and did not feel welcomed. You pay when you place your order, and then the food is brought to your table. Overall: 1/5 There are definitely several areas that could use improvement, especially the food quality, wait time, and customer service. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I won't be coming back.

Once I came early with my partner and we had dinner and drinks. Then friends showed up an hour layer, sat at a different table, and ordered separately with their own drink cards. The wait staff combined their check with ours and refused to separate it. How does that even make sense? They refuse to create separate bills for different drink cards which is stupid. They refuse to split checks. They didn't let us participate in happy hour because we didn't want to sit at the bar or outside in the cold. The staff here are terrible and want to make it the worst experience possible. I seriously cannot understand who combines checks for separate parties and checks who show up at separate times! Like where is the logic in that. Absolutely terrible place

I order an enchilada with rice and beans from the lunch special, and my friend got the taco salad. The food was prepared quickly and tasted good. I'm always a sucker for chips and salsa, and I thought these chips and salsa were great. The salsa had a slight kick, and the chips tasted fresh. They have a bar and TVs, so it looks like a nice place to watch a game and get some tasty food.

Giorgio's Italian Food Milpitas

My wife, our oldest son and I returned to Giorgio's Italian Food in Milpitas for lunch yesterday…read more It had been a bit since we were here, but it's one of our fave restaurants. On this most recent visit, we arrived around 1:30pm. I think most of their lunch crowd had already left, since it wasn't as crowded as it usually is. We were greeted warmly as we entered. We were seated quickly and received our menu's. It didn't take us long to decide what to order, even though you can't go wrong whether you order their Italian food or their pizzas. We enjoy all of their food, so we couldn't go wrong. They delivered our hot bread rolls and garlic butter to start. I'm careful not to eat too many rolls, since I know it will get me full sooner than I'd like to. But, they are so good. My wife ordered their pizzas Gnocchi Barese, our son had a Parmigiana Sandwich with fries and I had Fettuccine Portofino. We all really enjoyed our dishes. Our son has a hearty appetite and he finished his sandwich and fries. My wife and I weren't able to finish our meals, but we boxed our leftovers to enjoy at another time. Our server came by several times to refill our water glasses. Their customers service is always very good. The ambiance is quiet and and comfortable. Till our next visit.

Giorgio's is one of our go-to spots in Milpitas! I recently had the Fettuccine Portofino to go…read more It's rich, garlicky, saucy, and loaded with shrimp. They even included bread, butter, and plenty of grated cheese on the side. Beyond the good food, Giorgio's has been such a wonderful supporter of our local high school music program, catering meals for our marching band and helping with fundraising. The kids always love it! It's also a great spot for group gatherings. A true community gem!
