    Salsa had just the right amount of spice
    LJ D.

    I've heard this place has been here forever! & for good reason. Ordered a Torta for take out and it was delicious! The chicken was thin but not dry at all and VERY well seasoned. The vegetables were sooo fresh, & the bread really took it home for me. Was soft on the inside but did not get super soggy and held the ingredients very well. They also give you chips and salsa. The red salsa definitely has a kick to it so if youre not big on spice i would not advise but i prefer to dip my sandwich in it. Overall, ill definitely be back to try there other things. Ive also heard the fajitas are amazing.

    This is our first time coming here. Upon arrival, we were asked if we wanted to eat in or take out. We told her we wanted to eat in and she told us to take a seat wherever we wanted. After seating, she brought us a menu and asked if we wanted anything to drink. A few minutes later, she came back with some chips and salsa and our waters and took our orders. We waited about 20 ish minutes for our food to arrive, everything was hot and fresh. She came by halfway between our waiting to let us know that our food will be out soon. It was delicious! I had 2 items and went with a chicken taco and tamale. To be honest, the tamale could've been better but it was still good. The taco was soo juicy and delicious!! It was packed with chicken and just so good! The food was filling and it was nice being there. Parking is limited but we were lucky to get a parking right in front.

    The inside of the huge carne asada super burrito. The wrap barely went around once it was so large.

    Returned to try the veal Scallapino and the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Both were super. The latter super creamy and the chicken was nicely grilled seemed like paprika. Very nice

The only think did change is the price but the wouldn't stop me. You know how most places fall off after a while? Not this one. From day one to now, it's been straight consistency.

While the burrito was definitely "super" in size, the proportions were way off. It was heavily packed with rice and beans--which were fine--but they clearly skimped on the carne asada. When you're paying for a premium burrito, you expect the meat to be the star of the show, not a background character. It felt more like a vegetarian burrito with a few guest appearances by the steak. If you're looking for a massive meal and don't mind the filler, this hits the spot, but for those of us looking for a balanced meat-to-rice ratio, this one missed the mark. Hopefully, it was just an off day for the line cook.

    Was looking for a taco spot after an event in San Jose. I could've stayed in San Jose but the rain…read morewas super heavy and I wanted to go somewhere closer to home. Not a lot of taco spots are open late at 10p but I saw that PNT was open. My family and I pulled into the driveway and were confused because it looked and sounded like a bar. There were a few people standing outside and I asked if this was a bar or restaurant and the gentleman said it's a restaurant. We walk in and got some stares because it was late and we had kids. Didn't matter to us. Everything on the menu sounded delish and they had al day breakfast items. We ended up going with the following: 1. Chicken sandwich- 10/10 my teen loved this. It was a crispy thinly sliced chicken breast with all the fixings, and pressed to perfection. 2. Chicken Caesar salad - 10/10 the lettuce was Romain, tossed in Caesar dressing and parm, with grilled chicken filet. 3. 4 tacos de asada - 10/10 yummy chopped steak, seasoned and grilled to perfection. I'm not sure if the evening chef cooks better or maybe we were starving, but the food was great! Ambience at the time was pretty loud but I figure it's because people hanging out in the bar area. Definitely will be back.

However this is not commenting on the quality and f food but the service and really the lack there of. Tonight the place was busy but what day isn't here. It was like pulling teeth to get water, tortillas, salsa, and refills. Even when it was time to go we waited for someone to bring us a check and a box nothing so I put on a timer. 12 minutes till I I saw another patron get up to pay at register so I did to. Our server finally acknowledged our existence and when I asked him for a box and the check he brought a box then proceeded to do anything else but bring us our check. Over all I would love to say how disappointing this was but the food was soo good it's stopping me from just giving one star. I will be back and I pray that it's not as miserable as today was.

When they're on point with your order it's a really tasty burrito. I think it was a winner when I got the salsa throughout the burrito and not just on one side. Also no bones is definitely and always appreciated. When it's not their best day there will be a tiny bone in your burrito. I told the bf this and he was like at least you know it's fresh cut meat (wft?!). I'm cool with no bones. I do find their burritos on the salty side, which I guess for some that means flavor. I sometimes enjoy their meats but I've had a lot of better places. I tried their passion fruit aqua fresca the first time I went there and it was really good. But every other time it's been bad. I think and hope they mashed up the seeds from the passion fruit into the drink. Also I think they supplement the drink with pineapple juice. I'm cool with Kerns, but don't call it passion fruit when it's mainly pineapple. Located by the railroad tracks on Hesperian. They have their own parking lot. They have a lot of bad drivers as customers so please be cautious and these people think they can back up park too. Not sure on the pricing since this is the bf's fave spot so he treats. But judging on previous reviews it's market pricing. Overall it's okay for the area and we live down the street. But I honestly crave other places.

So I ordered shrimp burito..although the price is little bit expensive it was good I just wish that they could add some tortillas for that price of the shrimp burito! Hope next time they add fish taco or burito 2/27/18 Lenten Season and I'm not eating meat for 40 days. Since no time to cook today decided to get Super Shrimp Burrito .
