3.7 stars I ordered an asada torta and it was great! The outside patio has plenty of seating, it's a nice setup on a warm day. They should consider playing music outside. Downside is that there isn't a full bar. But the agave wine cucumber margarita was tasty! read more

Ordered via delivery app so this review is strictly for the food. Was craving soup so I decided to go with the classic Albondigas. The meatballs were HUGE but lacked any big flavor as did the broth sadly. The vegetables were well cooked and soft so that was a plus. Super glad I got a small taco on side the because that was the prize. The Al pastor was juicy and where the soup lacked flavor, it was definitely in the taco. Order came with a small chips and plenty of salsas (all of which were perfection). I'd definitely like to explore the menu as they have so much to choose from. read more

Our usual menudo place moved recently and we have been on the hunt for a new authentic place that serves menudo, we decided to try Las Cazuelas, boy what a waste of money, my hubby called it " agua de grano" more hominy than tripe and the hominy was tough like it needed more cooking time. Tripe was fatty and very few edible pieces. Save your money and keep it moving don't fall for a pic of clean tripe and no hominy traditional menudo THIS PLACE IS NOT IT! read more

Besides Vietnamese cuisine, my favorite is Mexican. I happened to walk around my new workplace and found a cute spot that has a nice garden, so I decided to stop in for lunch. This restaurant's menu is full of goodies. I had been craving a burrito all week, and as soon as I took the first bite, I knew I was in the right place. The al pastor was perfectly seasoned, the avocado was fresh, and the tortilla was perfectly grilled. I wished it would never end. I love the outdoor seating; it would be a perfect place to have a few drinks, socialize, and enjoy delicious food. The restaurant is clean and my waiter was super nice. I will definitely be back often to try other items on the menu. read more

This was my favorite. But, what happened? Prices are through the roof. Nobody answers the phone. Now, another location? Expanding has its cost. read more

I joined my monthly lunch gang at Las Cazuelas, as recommended by one of my friends. They have indoor seating, but you have to sit outside since they have a beautiful patio. There was so much to choose from on the menu, and I finally decided on the Burrito Bowl with carnitas. What can I say? It was delicious! The carnitas was tender and delectable. Our waiter was very friendly and had a sense of humor. He provided excellent service. read more

A true neighborhood gem! Awesome backyard patio with lots of decorations and heat lamps. The homemade salsas are to die for. Free chips and salsa. The camarones a la diabla were fantastic. I asked for a spoon to eat all the red sauce. Beware it is spicy! Graciela the manager was there and personally served our dishes. Price point is so affordable. I will be back for the Sunday AYCE brunch buffet! read more

I came here for lunch after my open house. The taco salad with Pastor was wonderful. Very flavorful. And my margarita was just right. The waitress and staff were very friendly. And they have a really cute outdoor patio. Even though it's on a busy street I will definitely come back. And the waitress said that they do brunch on Sundays from 10 to 2. I definitely will need to come check that out. read more

They catered our event and it was outstanding a the staff was great, they went over and beyond for us.

Such an amazing patio space! So cheerful, spacious, protected from the traffic and outside world. Now for the bad: Service was super slow and intermittent. The waitresses will deliver food to a table and then walk back inside without doing a glance around at the other tables --makes it hard to flag them. Food: Al pastor burrito tasted good cept for too much rice. Churro was good too, tho the portion was abysmally small for the price and the raspberry sauce overwhelmed the churro-ness. Good horchata, good chimichanga. I probably will not return. read more

Food was amazing, atmosphere outside on the patio was so welcoming, and our waitress Gloria made our experience so much fun. 11 people at our table, no mistakes, and didn't blink when we asked for separate checks per couple. read more

It's been ages since I've been back to Las Cazuelas, and it's just as good as I remember! The food is hands down the best Mexican food I've had in the Bay Area. Coming from LA, it's hard to find Mexican food here that tastes as fresh as street food or taco truck food, where everything is made by hand in small batches--but Las Cazuelas does it perfectly. I always get the breakfast burrito, and it never disappoints. The salsas are the highlight, super tasty and full of flavor. They're the perfect addition to any dish. The homemade chips are also amazing, crispy, fresh, and served with every meal. The watermelon agua fresca is also a must-try, refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. If you're looking for fresh, authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go! read more

Sunday buffet is great! Love seating outside hearing the live music. Joshua is a great server, ask for him next time you come in.

Did a burrito challenge/taste test between this spot and Taqueria 2, on Park.... Las Cazuelas was the burrito winner. Pros- both super burritos were good, they actually had similar ingredients (steak, chicken, rice, sour cream, and avocado). Las Cazuelas' burrito had a little more flavor and was the family favorite. They give complimentary chips and salsa, even on to go orders. Taqueria 2 only gives you complimentary chips if you dine in. If you want chips at Taqueria 2, you'll have to pay for chips to go... Actually, Las Cazuelas gave us a basket while we waited for our order. I had to ask, but they still gave it to us, no problem! My son ordered their steak fajitas which he polished pretty quickly. And even though he said he wanted no part of my burrito taste test (he said I was nuts for going to two places), he also ate quite a bit of my burritos too! Teenagers!! Another pro, If you drive a Tesla - I think their parking lot is a speciality charging station-I saw a ton of Teslas there charging. Oh, yes, they have their own parking lot, a huge pro! Taqueria 2 does as well, but theirs has a funky layout. Cons- horchata was $6.00 without refills. Some Mexican spots (Taqueria El Abuelo for example in WG) give free refills, even on their "specialty juices/drinks", not the case here. I ordered their beef soup with vegetables in addition to the burrito and I've definitely had better. For their soup, they used corned beef. It was a little saltier than I'm used to because of that. Threw me off when I first opened the container since the meat was also on the super pink side (and quite fatty). There were only two pieces of meat (which equaled to very little meat once you cut the fat off too), 2 carrot slices, 3 zucchini slices, and 1 small corn on the cob slice. Felt skimpy. So rating of a 4, since for the burrito challenge, they came out on top. But overall, a few things that were disappointing, which is why I'm not able to give them a 5. I will come back though whenever we have a burrito craving as right now, they seem to have the best burritos in the local area. read more

Thank you I won't be back! Incidentally I had no idea we showed up with no reservation! :( a word of advice from an 11 yr restaurant supervisor would be to inform your servers to tell large parties that the bills will be separate to avoid any confusion would be what I would instruct my staff. At the very least the cashier could be trained to apologize at the register. Any of these is a better alternative to a confusing departure for your guests. Just a recommendation of how I would handled it. Do with it as you see fit! :) read more

Good Mexican restaurant on Race St. Food was good and server was very friendly. The patio is very spacious and just the spot on a nice day. The enchilladas were very good, but a little watery. Burrito bowl was great - all the fixins' of a good burrito without the tortilla. Service was quick to start, but then we had to wait a long time for our check. Plenty of parking in the lot next door. We'll probably come back again and try a few more things on the menu. read more

Had an amazing time eating here with family! Something for everyone and the food was a hit. The staff is super attentive checking in on your table making sure you aren't missing anything. Offering refills and making themselves at your service. Justin the staff member, was on top of taking care of our table. They have live music during brunch that was a perfect ambiance. Would definitely come back here. read more

The burrito to go was delicious until my daughter bit into a large piece of plastic wrap! It was disgusting! She couldn't finish it. Not going back. Plus the lady who answered the phone was rude. That's all it takes is bad service and plastic in your burrito to make you stop going there! read more

Thank you for your local support of Hoover performing arts. My barbacoa super burrito was delicious but didn't include sour cream. My daughter crispy taco should have had cheese? But none. Love the patio. Maybe next time. Not sure my family would come but I liked my burrito. read more

Ok, so here we go it's time to buckle up because this was a full-on test of my patience. I've been a loyal customer for YEARS. Since the days of the sandbox, we've been talking for a long time. Why because family parties, office parties, and lunches. Yes, this was my go-to. I even would make this a pit stop before the Sharks game, filling enough to have all the energy for the game. But let me tell you, the last interaction was not smooth at all. I won't bore you with the details (because honestly, it gives my blood pressure spike) but let's just say if you're trying to woo or impress a customer especially a potential organization that could speak highly, treating them with respect is the winning strategy. Things have happened in the past but this one screamed louder than ever. I'm normally pretty chill especially when it comes to language barriers. Misunderstandings happen, it's all a part of the process we call life, but this time? This wasn't a simple "Lost in translation" type of moment. This was full-blown disrespect and was served with a side of "I don't care" and guess what? That's pretty messed up and it messed up our event too. I had the biggest SMH faceplant moment courtesy of my favorite taqueria in the area. So yeah, my business is gone. I' vanished like Covid. Stayed around for years and are now gone without any signs. You see even if they are giving back to the community, how they treat the actual people spending money speaks volumes. It's like waking up on the wrong side of the bed on a Monday morning; the whole week is messed up. Think about it from a marketing perspective: Make a bunch of people mad with bad service communication etc, and they tell EVERYONE. Happy customers? Ehhhh they might say it was good or they had a good time. It's just basic human nature. See I was that person who used to rave about this place, now I'm writing. See the proof in the pudding. All in all it took this to happen- direct disrespect aimed at me and the organization I was representing to make me say "hasta la vista". Finding another spot is not hard not even replacing the convenience cause they are on every corner. Treat your customers with a little decency. It's not rocket science and it's truly the golden rule. Yeah, that, that annoying thing your mom told you when you were a little nino. My loyalty has officially packed its bags and moved on. Sorry, not sorry. read more

This restaurant offers both inside and outdoor seating. Indoor seating area is on the smaller side. Their specialty plates are very good. Their dark chicken mole and chili verde were delicious. The chili rellenos are not bad, but I have had better. The enchiladas suizas were ok but needed more sauce. The staff was courteous and attentive. I'll be going back because there's a couple of other items I'd like to try including their margaritas. read more

Been coming here for a while. Came today and sat down, sat there for 15mins without anyone coming over. A busser was cleaning tables nearby, I asked if anyone would come over. He said he would get someone, but he continued to clean 3 more tables and never got anyone. So 20 mins go by and still no service. I got up and told them that I never had anyone come over for an order. I just left, it's a shame this place had gone down hill. Service sucks and the food quality has gone down. Better tacos surround this place read more

Amazing food and service! They give complimentary chips and salsa - and very good homemade chips too. Food was good and server was very friendly and helpful! I ordered the steak and chicken taco. It was so food and tons of meat and toppings! It came with a jalenpeno that was very spicy! There are tons of options for lunch. I loved the outdoor area and they do have quite a bit of parking next door. Prices were very reasonable. read more

The food here is consistently good. Service is friendly and usually is good. They allow dogs on the patio, which a friend appreciates; it doesn't matter to me, as I don't have a dog. However, they're now charging $5 for a Coke, which has to be close to a 1000% markup. That is off-putting. I'll drink water. read more

They give complimentary chips and salsa - and very good homemade chips too. Actually, Las Cazuelas gives out baskets (refillable). My friend could not get enough of the chips & salsa. It was funny watching him devour the chips... Food was good and server was very friendly. The patio is very spacious and just the spot on a nice day. I like their Tamales, Chile Verde/Colorado while the GF always go for the Camarones Rancheros with the Cadillac Margarita. We have not had their burrito that people rave about so that's something to look forward to. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for their buffet after seeing it on Instagram. It's about $32/person before tips. We wrote our name down on the notepad on the table and they called our name when a table was ready. They had a nice buffet spread with a lot of variety. They also had about 4 drink options: orange juice, apple juice, a yummy green fresca, and a purple one. The food was good but I got full really quickly. I didn't like the menudo. Definitely couldn't eat my money's worth. The churros were yummy and had filling. I had to make multiple trips to the buffet area since the flans kept running out read more

Here is my two cents on the quality quantity and price of my chili rellenos.. It was delivered by Uber eats in a very timely and efficient manner.! kudos to Uber eats.. I requested a Chilli Rellnois meal.. With my meal I got refried beans some Spanish rice 2 chili and very hot and warm 4 corn tortillas, along with a bag of chips.. I requested pickle jalapeño peppers ,, but they substituted three different types of hot pepper sauce... Which were much much better than what I had requested. I just love them. I was under the impression that most Mexican restaurant food tasted the same, especially when it came to the Spanish rice and the refried beans .. WOW was I wrong here?.. THE SPANISH RICE WAS ABSOLUTELY COOKED TO PERFECTION AND TASTED GREAT.... AND REFRIED BEANS, THOUGH A LITTLE BIT ON THE RUNNING SIDE WAS SIMPLY MARVELOUS... And then, when I dug into the two chili Reillenois it was heaven on my tongue ... I was under the impression that all restaurants basically tasted the same... WOW, WAS I SO WRONG?.. The added hot sauces were just enough to grab your attention without being overwhelmed.. I would definitely have to come back and try the other items.. But in the meantime, I cannot say enough for everyone else to at least give them a try. Thank you very much... read more

Came in Sunday morning from Watsonville, everything was excellent the food and the service I got from Jose was great. He offered many options that I got like el Plato grande and mojarra.

The food is very good, and the servers are super friendly and attentive; we were attended by Joshua and Jostin who was the best!

I am so glad I picked this place for a group dinner! The first thing that stands out is the huge, welcoming patio. Absolutely immaculate vibes, and perfect for when the weather is nice. Next, the service was fantastic. Grace and the chef Omar made our night super special by checking in on us, continuously refilling our chips and salsa, and preparing some amazing food! We ordered the chicken fajitas, the taco salad with chicken, and the shrimp super tacos. Everything was so good! Highly recommend. This would be a great place to have a big group of people / meet friends, date night, or enjoy a solo meal! read more

Food was great. It was our 2nd time going. However the michladas were very very weak. We will go back when we're in the area.

Great lunch experience today. The watermelon aqua fresca was perfect. That would be great on a warm summer day. The complimentary chips and salsa were yummy. The salsa had a nice kick without overpowering cilantro or onions. My carnitas platter was the perfect service. Rice was a little bland but the beans were good and salty. The carnitas were a little dry and could have used a little more fat. Hubbys chimichanga was a little bland as well and could have used more spices. The service was very attentive and they checked on us frequently. We ate indoors today - too windy and chilly- but the outdoor patio looks like a good reason to come back. read more

I passed by this place several times before deciding to give it a try today, and I don't regret it. The main attraction of this place is its patio and outdoor tables, while the inside is small and not very appealing. So, if you don't like to eat outside or it's a cold and windy day, it's better to avoid this place because it will ruin your experience. The staff, mostly female, is very attentive and friendly. They welcome you with a basket of tortilla chips and salsa, and you can enjoy their buffet on Sundays. Although I wasn't hungry enough to take advantage of the buffet, I saw it, and it looked and smelled delicious. I would come back to try it. Bonus point: they make the tortillas by hand right in front of you. They offer an extensive menu at very affordable prices. However, for some reason, I decided to try their breakfast burrito and was pleasantly surprised. It had a manageable size and was filling at the same time. Every bite was a delicious blend of all the ingredients. I asked for hot sauce, and they served me their delicious homemade sauces (green and red). I highly recommend the green sauce, made with raw tomatillo (common in Mexico). In summary, you should try it. It's a solid Mexican food place. read more

I'm not sure why this place is short of 4 stars. It's 5 star tastes, service and outdoor ambiance. Watermelon margaritas and aqua fresca were a great summer treat. Sundays offer a buffet but menu options are still available. I enjoyed a carnitas burrito. Salsa, guacamole and chips were perfect too. Everyone working was friendly and attentive. Menu prices were incredibly reasonable. Live music serenaded tables on Father's Day was also a great treat. I guess I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures of the food. read more

Las Cazuelas - Margarita - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

HORRIBLE SERVICE -- DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY ON UNGRATEFUL SERVICE! We were so excited about this place. Our first visit two weeks ago was great -- good food, good service -- so much so that we told our friends, family, and colleagues about it. As a local Gilroy resident, business owner, and someone in the service industry, I was eager to support them. We even found them on TikTok and were happy to promote our new "find." Yesterday was our second visit... and our last. We ordered 4 brunches (about $27 each) and chose to sit inside since it was less busy -- especially important for our autistic child. Drinks were ordered: 3 Chavelas and 1 Mimosa. One of the Chavelas accidentally tipped over right after arriving (their cups are ceramic, wider on top and narrow at the bottom -- easy to tip). We immediately asked for help. They cleaned it up and brought another drink. When the bill came, we noticed they charged us for the spilled drink -- even though it was untouched aside from tipping over. We politely mentioned this and asked if the manager could review. The server returned, with attitude, and said there was "nothing they could do" and the charge would remain. Here's the thing: I understand accidents happen -- I'm in the service industry myself -- but the way they handled this showed zero customer care. For the sake of $12, they lost not only our business, but also the business of all the people we've been recommending them to. Sometimes it's not about the money; it's about how you make your customers feel. A replacement drink, or even a kinder attitude, would have kept us as loyal patrons. Instead, they showed they value a single drink over long-term customers. For $12, they lost thousands in future business -- and my respect. read more
