    QUESA-VILLA
    Sejal S.

    Here is my Delish experience!!! We recently discovered this hidden gem in San Jose after our family friends recommended this spot. This restaurant serves amazing authentic Mexican food with great service and a pleasant ambience. The frescas and mocktails were especially flavorful and refreshing. I really liked their kids menu options and ordered pancakes with fresh strawberries along with a side of fries. It may seem like a small detail but we absolutely loved the fries, they were perfectly crispy and not thin or soggy. Coming to the food, our favorite part was the molcajete which is a massive platter with multiple items and very filling, definitely worth the price. The spicy sauce that comes with the platter is incredibly delicious and adds so much flavor. For those with a smaller appetite, they also offer smaller portion options like the pollo quesadilla which did not disappoint at all. Overall this has become our new favorite spot every time we visit the Bay Area, an authentic Mexican restaurant with great food, great service and a welcoming experience.

    Food was really good! For drinks I had an agua fresca de jamaica and you can tell it was authentic Service was great! Very friendly and quick service! Mix drinks were really good as well!

    I'm not sure why this restaurant has high rating. Service was just okay but was really slow. Food is not good and there's barely any meat. Pina colada wasn't great either.

    OK.. have a new favorite spot. The food was amazing, fresh and beautiful. Tony was our waiter and he was so kind and attentive. This place deserves all its flowers. Will be coming back soon.

    SHRIMP EMPANADAS

    I ordered the shrimp empanadas . So, so, delicious no skimping on the shrimp , didn't taste like it was sitting in grease...very, very, good! And the jicama/cucumber salad was so refreshing

    Casa Villa is a small Mexican restaurant in a willow glen strip mall. They are expanding soon but for now they have less than 10 tables. The facility itself is in decent condition, well decorated and about as clean as you'd expect. The service is really friendly and the prices seem reasonable. We got the molcajete to share. It's pretty big and served very hot in a volcano rock pot. There were generous amounts of beef, chicken and very flavorful sausage. It all seemed fresh and well cooked. But it was lacking something in flavor as most of the ingredients seemed sliced and basically boiled. It needs more seasoning or something to elevate the flavor. The tortillas were excellent.

    I would give this place NO stars if that option was available! After waiting well over 15 minutes at our table the waitress brought us a menu and said she would be back to take out drink order well another 15-20 minutes went by she sat a party of 6 down after us not only took their drink orders first, she brought them their drinks AND went ahead and took food orders meanwhile she never came back to at the least take our drink orders! We were only a party of 3! We ended up walking out. Horrible service! Will not be supporting this establishment ever again. Very disappointing.

    CHILAQUILES
    Molly M.

    Great selection of food, we loved our chilaquiles with chorizo and eggs. The potatoes, eggs, and meat were cooked to absolute perfection. My friend loved the cafe de olla, I enjoyed the juice. The music and service was perfect for the ambiance. Was only visiting the area but would love to go back one day!

    Quisabirria tacos
    Cherise G.

    We ordered the quesabirria tacos, flautas, and chicken enchiladas with verde sauce. Everything was excellent! Slight hiccup with one of the orders having sour cream after requesting no sour cream. But the customer service was great, they fixed the ordered immediately with no delay. Very quick service and very accommodating. Everything we ate we would definitely order again.

    Add this along with Milagro as our two favorite Mexican spots in the area. The tortillas are handmade, the service is warm and friendly and the food is delicious and well presented. I am a fan!

    Enchiladas and chiles Chile Relleno
    Rayna T.

    This cute small restaurant is close to downtown Willow Glen. The workers here are amazing. Super friendly and attentive. I love their quesadillas and enchiladas. Though their enchiladas could use a little more flavor. Perfect spot to catch up with friends over good food.

    Pozole and Ceviche
    Kylee O.

    Been wanting to try Casa Villa for a while because I love trying out new spots close to Willow Glen. Casa Villa is in a plaza around the area and is a really small restaurant with only about 8 tables in the indoor area. The place is decorated really nicely but the service wasn't really as welcoming. We came here specifically for the pozole and ceviche. Pozole was good had lots of flavor but was really spicy. Ceviche was super weird and I didn't like the taste at all. Super sweet not very favor. The chunks were too big and not like your traditional ceviche. My boyfriend ordered the enchiladas which he liked because it came with rice and beans. The horchata was super yummy as well but was mostly ice inside of the glass. Was a little let down by the service just because it took a little while to even get our order taken and no one had checked up on us after receiving the food. The few times we needed something we had to call down a server which took a really long time which is unfortunate because the place didn't have many tables so I assume they prioritize take out orders. Overall, I don't think I will be returning. The food is mid and prices are still high for what you get. Total came out to be $70 for everything with tip which is decent for all of the food but the service and food just didn't meet our expectations.

    Mole enchiladas
    Wayne T.

    We been here for breakfast, as o we decided to try it for lunch. They expanded to the next door since the last time I've been here. I'm assuming that means business must be good. Not much of a crowd for lunch,it's usually crowded for breakfast. They have a nice variety on the menu, pretty much something for everyones taste. I got the mole enchiladas. I know it depends on who makes the mole. I don't think I've had the same tasteing mole. Here the mole is slightly sweet,not at all spicy. Not my favorite,but not bad. The refried beans were dry and had no seasoning,same with the rice. Where they expanded,it still looks like they are remodeling. Will probably be back,but for breakfast.

The cocktail menu is inspired by records, and you can feel the creativity in every sip. These aren't your standard bar pours -- they're clearly thought out and crafted with personality. If you're someone who appreciates a drink with a story behind it, you'll be in your element here. The live DJ on weekends takes the whole experience to another level. The music isn't background noise -- it's part of the atmosphere, and it hits right. What makes this place truly special is that you're getting two completely different vibes under one roof. Walk into Still OG up front and you get a casual, laid-back energy -- easy conversation, good company, no pretension. Then slip into the speakeasy in the back and the whole mood shifts. Alter Ego is a proper intimate lounge with their full bar, and it feels like a world away from the street outside. The transition between the two spaces is surprisingly seamless and genuinely fun to experience. And they're open late, which puts them in a rare category of places actually worth staying out for. Whether you're there for a chill night out or a proper evening, this place delivers both without making you choose.

What a rich treat. * Arancini: The twist of fusion flavors was great. I love how the Japanese curry added a nice mix of umami, paired with the sharp creamy kimchi sauce. Definitely a favorite! * Pork belly: Pull apart, juicy, and tender! These paired actually really well with the arancini for a good balance of rice and meat. * Red miso crème brûlée: interesting sweet and salty flavor combination between the red miso and Madagascar vanilla.
