Charming Dining Room
Andrea G.

The most delicious Caldo de res soup! Lots of fresh veggies with fall apart beef and homemade cloud soft corn tortillas. I have never had tortilla as delicious as these. The service is always welcoming and friendly. The restaurant is colorful and fun as usual.

warning: not suitable for white people
Samantha C.

NOT FOR WHITE PEOPLE! I ordered the verde cheese enchiladas with no warning on how incredibly spicy they would be. This was hands down the spiciest Mexican food I have ever had in my 30 years on this earth. Good luck to whoever dares try these. Tldr: food was good, I ate the whole thing but have regrets

Inside
Ann C.

Place is very cute inside, server was nice & food was yummy. We got the quesabirria tacos & enchiladas. It was nice they had a big screen TV to watch football on. We will definately come back again.

Birria tacos
Lizzie C.

What a great taco spot! I stopped here after working up an appetite shopping at the nearby Gilroy outlets and I'm so glad I did! The interior has such a fun theme and is bright and colorful, as well as clean. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a friendly employee who told me I could sit wherever I wanted. After about a minute, he came by with water and chips. He kept our drinks full for the entire meal, and remained friendly throughout every interaction. And then there's the actual food!! I can be pretty picky but this place knocked my socks off! I will 100% be making up a reason why I need to return to Gilroy so I can come back here.

Birria was my fav
Alexis M.

Staff was amazing! The inside of the place couldn't have been more cute, the chairs were clearly handmade and painted which I was in love with. Food tasted amazing and had so much flavor. I can't wait to come here again

Let me tell ya it's a must visit and return visits. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. I've seen this place forever and have always been curious. They just expanded and decorated the restaurant so colorful. There were 3 of us in our party. We all left completely satisfied and bellies full. They even humored us and gave a sample of the Chile verde sauce. Amazing!!!! You must give them a try.. well worth it.

This was the best Mexican meal I've had in years. Bacon wrapped shrimp. Came with the standard rice and beans but a choice of salad or fries. I liked the onions and Ciliento coming as a side dish. The decor is what I would have expected in a restaurant in Mexico. Sturdy. The Mexican motif was carried off very well with lovely scenes on the chairs. I was the only gringo in the place - that means that the local Mexican people favor this restaurant. The source served with the chips had a nice bite, not too hot but not bland. The service was prompt and my server attentive.

CLOSED FOREVER  :-(
Christine I.

Closed forever , read the sign :-( Need to update Yelp and Google for this. So sad, wanted quesabirria 's today. :-( Hope they will re-open in another location!

Medium horchata
Abby A.

Ordered from DoorDash, there was a 20% off deal which made me choose this place over other taquerias. This is my first time trying them and I am pretty impressed. I got the quesabirrias, tacos de pastor, and horchata. Quesabirrias: 4 quesabirrias, onions, lime, salsa, and a sizable side of consume. All for $14, which is significantly cheaper than other places. The flavor was good, the cheese was melty, the taco was crispy, it was everything I expect from a quesabirria. This is going to be my go to place when I am craving them. 5/5 Tacos de pastor: the flavor of the pastor is great. The tacos were the small street taco size, so in my opinion for $2.50 they are not as good of a deal. The salsa that came on top was good, but I wish it came with onions as well. Overall 4/5 Horchata: it's good, a tad bit grainy but it's still enjoyable. It was $3 for a medium, but the medium is huge! I've been charged $6 for an horchata of similar size elsewhere. This was a great deal and it definitely satisfied my horchata craving. 4.5/5

They just do a few a little differently I noticed. When I come, I order a pound of shrimp: jellyfish smack, medium, with an addition of sausage. (Corn and potatoes too if I'm feeling really hungry.) I always like ordering a side of rice so that I can pour the sauce on top of it for that extra flavor. The service is good. It normally isn't too busy and they provide you with all the utensils: a bucket to dump ur shells, a bib, gloves, salt, pepper and lime if you need it as well.

The mission of this visit was to try the seafood boil, and boy were we thrilled! The place didn't disappoint, Food was fresh and flavorful. We ordered garlic butter noodles 4 Yam fries 5 flavorful and crispy with a spicy dip. Seafood boil 4.5 good quality and flavors, I felt it was a tad salty, but I won't complain. Unlike the other seafood boil places the food came in a ceramic serving tray. We ordered the house sauce with medium spice with shrimp, king crab and clams.The spice level was perfect and so was the sauce. Very pleased with this service, portions, pricing and the flavors. Definitely coming back to taste several other items on the menu. I would have loved for them to play some music rather than the silence. I wasn't too bothered. Y it though since I was too focused on the food.

For me, I am not a huge seafood lover- unless I am in Monterey or San Francisco. The vibe of this restaurant is pretty interesting. Think Dia de Los Muertos in a discoteca. I think this place better serves as somewhere to get drunk which makes the food seem better. The food is not bad , just doesn't stand out from anywhere else. On my visit, I opted for the chile verde with their handmade corn tortillas. The chile was spicy enough for me and the tortillas were fantastic. Shout out to the tortilla lady preparing those fresh all day! The refried beans were really runny- I should have asked if they offered whole pinto beans as an option. Service was pretty good, although I wasn't quite sure who our server was . We had multiple people come to our table during our visit. I think this restaurant is fun and interesting with solid food options. Would I be back? Yes, if I want to drink, listen to loud music and eat some damn good tortillas!

Stopped in on a Thursday afternoon for a lunch date with my kids…read more The place was clean, but I was surprised to find a full bar on one side of the restaurant. Despite the bar, and a handful of people there drinking, it was unusually quiet the entire time. My son recommended and ordered the salmon sashimi dinner. I followed suit, and my daughter ordered the chicken katsu bento box. Miso soup and salads came out quickly and were both delicious. The main dishes came out and everyone was happy with their meals. The amount and thickness of the sashimi was crazy and extraordinarily fresh. I was so surprised to find a legit and reasonably priced spot in Gilroy.

We decided to eat at Ninja Sushi since we ate there once a long time ago probably like 14 years ago. We arrived there on a Saturday late afternoon for a late lunch . The sushi restaurant is located off of 1st street in an older plaza in Gilroy. Nob Hills is in the same plaza. Parking is accessible in the large parking lot out front. Ninja Sushi has clean sleek modern decor. The restaurant is divided into two spacious rooms. In the larger room it's family friendly where the sushi bar, tables, and booths are at for dine in. The other room consists of the full bar with plenty of high chairs. Both rooms look inviting. We ordered the Wonderful sushi roll, two sake nigiri, steamed gyoza, Garlic roll, Star roll, large hazy IPA beer and a glass of Chardonnay. Everything was tasty but nothing special. The Wonderful was flavorful and I enjoyed the little scallops. The gyoza was steamed which made it taste more succulent. Star roll was scrumptious with every bite. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Ninja Sushi. The staff were nice and accommodating. There was a local favorite vibe going on. My one huge gripe though I had was the price point particularly the bento boxes and the special rolls were more pricier than I expected. Since the restaurant is located in Gilroy I expected the price point to be much more fair and on par with the sushi restaurants in Morgan Hill. It's been awhile since the last time we were there, not sure when we will be back again.
